The grace of redemption, wherein it stands, in opposition to some gross errors of the times, which darken the truth of it. 5.

bear the curse my self and for ought I see it will presse me down to hell But stay a little and consider Christ is made a curse for sinners which are under the curse of the Law thou art one of this unhappy number thou seest and bewaylest thy woful condition and abhorrest thy self Wherefore then doest thou not own this and take it home and say Christ is made a curse even for me If thou wert oppressed See 1 T●m 1.15 16. overburthened with debt Creditors coming in on every side so that thou couldest not tell which way to turne thee no remedy but to prison Suppose now a man of very great wealth should offer himself to be thy Surety to satisfie all for thee were it not great folly in thee to refuse him and to say I have not deserved such favour or to distrust him and to say I cannot beleeve that he will do it Or suppose thou wert a Traitor to the supreme Magistrate convicted condemned if his Son should undertake for thee and yeeld up himself to justice in thy stead Were it not madness in thee to reject him especially if thou shouldest understand that this is done not onely by the Fathers consent but also by his appointment and approbation Poor sinner this is thy case Thou art this Debtor this Traitor and therefore under the curse Jesus Christ is made a curse for thee even by the appointment of his Father he comes to take it off from thee and to lay it upon himself Wilt thou now put him from thee and say This cannot be he will never do this for me and the rather pause a while and resolve to give him leave to take it If thou be wise thou wilt not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children Hos 13.3 Thou art in darkness here is a glympse of light thou art in prison there is a door of hope to escape The curse is too heavy for thee Christ is willing to ease thee of it Do not thou keep it to thy self to be swallowed up by it but let thine eye be towards him Look upon him as made sin and curse for thee and upon this ground dispute for thy soul thus Hath he indeed become a curse for me Why then there is hope I may escape it 2. And if we can take down this truth so as to make account that he is made a curse for us in particular then we may look on our selves as engaged upon this score to the practice of a necessary duty If the Lord Jesus did not stick to be made a curse for us then should not we be unwilling to be made a curse for him The onely begotten Son of God blessed for ever did abase himself he became a worm for us the reproach of men and contempt of the people Psal 22.6 7. he was despised reviled abused yea scorned spitted on and trodden under foot for us and shall we thinke it too much to suffer those things for him he was content to undergo the displeasure the wrath yea the curse of the most high God for our sakes and shall we the sorry sons and daughters of the earth the right heirs of the curse refuse or shrink to undergo the displeasure the wrath the curse of man for his sake Oh no let us lie down at his feet let us lay our bodies as the ground Isa 51.23 and as the street to them that go over let us submit to become any thing for Christ let us not be evil doers but if we be so accounted and be put to suffer as evil doers let us bear it patiently we should be ready to meet in the mid-way and cheerfully to imbrace the greatest injuries the foullest indignities which the devil or man can possibly heap upon us either for Christ and his testimony or with Christ in the prosecution and maintenance of any good cause wherein the Lord calleth us to appear Let not all the black-mouthed curses that hell it self can invent knock us off from well-doing or discourage us in the work of the Lord Jesus Whatsoever the work is let it suffice us if he accept us and be glorified Take my brethren the Apostles and Saints of God in times past for your examples herein 1 Cor. 4 9-13 I think saith S. Paul speaking of himself and his fellows that God hath set forth us as it were men appointed to death we are fools weak despised for Christs sake we are made as the filth of the world and the off-scouring of all things For thy sake I have born reproach saith David Psal 69.7 yea for thy sake are we killed all the day long saith the Church Psal 44.22 which the Apostle applies to himself Rom. 8.36 Mind well that serious exhortation Act. 5.41 and the ground from whence it is inferred Hebr. 13.11 12 13. As the bodies of those beasts whose blood was offered for the expiation of sin were burnt without the camp Lev. 6.27 Lev. 4.11 12 21. so Jesus also that he might sanctifie the people with his own blood suffered without the gate Thus the Lord Jesus submitted to the curse for us what must we do now for him Why even go forth unto him without the camp bearing his reproach He went out of the city and bare his own cross to Golgotha Jo. 19.17 We must with Simon the Cyrenean bear it after him Luk. 23.26 We must deny our selves take up our cross and follow him Mat. 16.24 If we hate not all even our own lives for him he disclaims us from being his Disciples Luk. 14.26 27. yea our spirits should be all on a flame within us in affectionate desires of the glory of Christ so that we should be content even to be accursed from Christ Vide Zanch. de Nat. Dei l. 5. c. 3. at least in the loss and forgoing of our share in eternal blessedness for the further enlargement of his kingdom in the salvation of many This was the mind of holy Paul Rom. 9.3 and it should be our mind also Those nice and delicate Christians which look for every mans blessing and good word which cannot endure a frowning brow an harsh word or an ill turn for Christ but they are ready to faint in their minds and to cast off all do requite the Lord Jesus very badly who endured such contradiction of sinners yea the cross it self for them Heb. 12.2 3. Jer. 12 5. If running with footmen weary you how will you keep pace with horses If some sprinklings and dashings of rain water in a fair day of prosperity do so disquiet you that you are ready to sit down and desert your Saviour then how will you do in the swelling of Jordan when not onely the rain falls but the floods come and the windes blow and the storms of persecution assaile you on every side threatening your utter overthrow Oh then what will you say to bonds and fetters to the dungeon and little-ease to racks and

but what then is the curse of him who is the God of all people that 's but a flea-biting to this 2. It 's a grounded and authorative curse It hath a superscription and stampe of divine warrant upon it the power of heaven goes along with it which puts weight upon it and makes it heavie and bitter Elisha cursed the mocking children in the name of the Lord and that curse commissioned and enraged the 2 she beares to teare them in peices 2. Kin. 2.23.24 So the Law curseth the sinfull children of Adam in the name of the Lord and this curse armeth all Gods judgments against them The causles curse is contemptible it shall not come Pro. 26.2 But the Law of God finds abundant cause in the sonnes of men and therefore it curseth with authoritie and efficacie When a naturall father curseth his children as Noah Cham Gen. 9.25 And Jacob Simeon and Levi Gen. 49.7 This breaths out authority and therefore it strikes deep When the Pope curseth with bell book and candle as they say his seduced slaves which have received his marke tremble at it because they apprehend though falsly the authoritie of Christ himself to be in it how much greater cause of trembling is there when the father of the spirits who is God over all curseth transgressours 3. It 's an imp●●●iall and thorough-dealing curse it overtakes all sinners none can escape or avoyd it Cursed is every one that continueth not in al things c. vers 10. Before No abilitie of nature or religious priviledge or any excellencie whatsoever can possibly shelter or safeguard thee from it till thou arrivest at Jesus Christ We read of Levi that he knew not his father nor his mother nor his brethren nor his owne children Deut. 33.9 So the curse of the Law saith unto every one without exception I have not seen thee I doe not know thee it falls downe-right on all without respect of persons They use to picture Justice blind even the justice of humane Lawes so the justice of the divine Law is after a sort blind it can neither be bribed nor dashed out of countenance it cannot be swayed either by feare or favour it takes no notice of any by considerations which might turne it aside from it's right course Zach. 5.3 The flying roule goes over the face of the whole earth to cut of every one that stealeth and every one that swea●eth c. Yea it 's so impartiall that it will not spare or favour a justifyed person who is now under the wings of Christs blessing but will look grimly upon him and reach him some sharp lashes if it find him faultie or miscarrying 4. It 's a subtil and a spirituall curse it peirceth into the inwards and goes downe into the bowels of the bellie it can strike the very spirit of the sinner so that oftentimes when no curse appeares without yet then there is nothing but curse within when the outward man is compassed about with blessings the inward man lies in the midst of all evil yea is filled with the curse of God The bodie is fat and faire liking the bones flourish like an herb the Estate prospers their name is up no bands in their death c. but even then God sendeth leanness into their soules Psal 106.15 Their minds are more blinded their hearts more hardened their consciences more seared they are more crusted they grow more secure and uncapable of any good Lam. 3.65 Give them obstinacie of heart thy curse upon them Let their hearts be covered over as with a buckler to keep of every blow from Gods word or hand This is Gods curse on the heart so that while all things are so well composed without that they promise to themselves nothing but blessing yet even then the curse of God sits close on their spirits and ripens them insensibly for destruction 5. It 's a standing and abiding curse The Justice of God hath brought it so home and given it such a deep expression into the nature of man that it 's unremoveable No power either of man himself or of any or all the creatures in heaven or earth is able to take it off The sinfull soule under the curse of the Law is like to a prisoner bound hand and foot and throwne into the dungeon readie for execution he cannot loose the chaines nor get himself out he is sure for starting No power abilitie disposednes in or from the sinner himself can availe any thing towards the ridding of him from the jawes of the curse No footsteppe or possibilitie of help by or from the creature man or Angell to put to a little finger towards his release from it The flying Roule which enters into the house of the Theife and swearer must remaine in the midst of his house and consume it timber and stones and all Zach. 5.4 The wrath of God abides on the disobedient sinner Jo. 3.36 Time cannot wear it out Isa 65.20 If a remedie be tendered to the sinner he is utterly uncapable of it * 1 Cor. 2.14 He hath nothing which can concur with grace whereby to further his recovery in the least measure but contrariwise he fastens the curse more upon himself * Rom. 2.5 and runs more and more into the clutches of it and further still out of the reach of blessedness Lay all these things together and judge in your selves what cause we have to reflect sadly upon our selves and to lie downe in dust and ashes under the sence of our owne miserie as finding and knowing our selves to lie under the stroke of his great and terrible curse Woe is me for the lamentable ignorance and sottishnes of our people generally which sport and sing and walk merrily under this burthen as if they were the happiest creatures under the Sun But oh be convinced of it and put it not away from you any longer Why will you not acknowledge your selves to be such as the Lord and his Law have found and voted you to be will you goe about to make the Law a vaine thing and the Lawgiver a liar That thou canst never doe the word of the Lord endureth for ever let God be true and every man a lyar Come downe into the dust cast away thy plumess thy corrupt fancies of an imaginarie blessednes thou art really a cursed man Please not thy self in this Hell of thine as if it were an Heaven but be advised to take downe this unquestionable truth and know it for thy self that it may lie neer to thy heart and thou mayst be humbled under thy wofull condition Thus much of the 2d use Sect. 4. Use 3d 4th THirdly let us heare pause a while that we may consider and admire the wonderfull condescension of the Lords goodnes and wisdome towards the sonnes of men in that he doth so sweetly allay and mitigate the curse that it doth not poure out all it's furie upon us All the inhabitants of the world being

in hell it being the place of suffering not of doing nor from this that despair being the privation of hope as hope is not of the things which are seene Rom. 8.24 so despair is not of the things which are already felt Whence some would infer that as hope in the glorified Saints ceaseth because they have now the enjoyment of the blessedness which they expected so despair shall cease in the damned because they are possessed already of everlasting destruction But I suppose it cannot rationally be denied that the damned in hell do despair onely I say it is very probable that this despair is not properly a sin for as hope doth ever suppose and eye a promise of some good thing to come apprehending it as certain and waiting for the accomplishment so desperation hopes contrary must needs be exercised about the same object but puts forth a contrary act apprehends the promise as impossible and casts off all expectation of the accomplishment of it Now promises are confined to this life onely although the things promised for the best part of them are to be enjoyed in the life to come there are no promises made to them that are actually damned in hell of any future good and therefore as it would be no vertue in them to hope so it is no sin in them to despaire But to returne the wretched sinner in hell seeing the sentence passed against him Gods purpose fulfilled never to be reversed the gates of hell made fast upon him Luk. 16.26 and a great gulfe fixed betwixt hell and heaven which renders his escape impossible he now gives up all and reckons on nothing but the uttermost misery Now this despair is not an essential part of the second death but onely a consequent or at the most an effect occasioned by the sinners view of his irremedilesse wofull condition But this neither did nor could possibly befall the Lord Jesus he was able by the power of his God-head both to suffer and to satisfie and to overcome therefore he expected a good issue and knew that the end should be happy and that he should not be ashamed Ps 16.9.10 Acts 2.26 27 28 31. Isaiah 50. ver 6 7 c. Even as a very shallow streame would easily drowne a little childe there could be no hope of escape unlesse some man should come in due time to relieve it because it wants strength to save it selfe whereas a growne man might hope well enough to escape out of a far deeper place because by reason of his stature strength and skill he could wade or swimme out Truly the wrath of the Almighty manifested in hell is like the vast ocean or some broad deep river and therefore when the sinfull sons and daughters of Adam which are without strength are hurled into the midst of it they must needs lie downe in their confusion as altogether hopelesse of deliverance or escaping but this despaire could not seize upon Jesus Christ because although his Father took him and cast him into the sea of his wrath Isa 9.6 57.16 63.1 3 5. so that all the billowes of it went over him yet being the mighty God with whom nothing is impossible he was very able to pass thorow that sea which would have drowned all the world and to come safe to shore Thus of the first Branch Sect. 3. Shewing by whom or by what power he was made a Curse BUt then secondly we may make a further inquiry by whom or by what power he was thus made a Curse for us we finde that he was made of the seed of David according to the flesh Rom. 1.3 made of a woman and under the Law Gal. 4.4 made Surety of a better Testament Heb. 7.22 and so here made a Curse But who made him or how comes he who is the Son of God blessed for ever to be a Curse For the clearing of this I shall speak something to it 1. Negatively 2. Positively 1. Negatively It was not done 1. By any power or authority which the Law had over him in respect of himself for he did no sin neither was guile found in his mouth 1 Pet. 2.22 1 Pet. 1.19 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Tim. 19. Yea he was as a Lamb without blemish and without spot therefore the Law could not take hold on him it had nothing at all to lay to his charge nor could possibly fasten the least guilt upon him save onely as he stood ingaged for us it lay not against him 2. Much less was it not by any power or contrivement of the creature for then it must be either Sathan or man but 1 Sathan could not do it for although he be the Prince of the world and had an heart brim full of malice against him yet he had nothing at all in him no power or authority over him no not in the least measure 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Joh. 14.30 How could he when the unclean spirits were at his command he cast them out with a word 2. Neither was man able to put him into this condition to make him a Curse no nor all the men in the world It was not the iniquity of the times into which he was fallen although it was a very evill time their very hour and the power of darkness Luke 22.53 yet that was not the proper working cause of it Neither was it the perfidiousness of Judas his houshold servant that was but a remote interveening means for the bringing of it on or raising it up to the height Nor was it the mischievous disposition and plottings of the high Priests and Jews against him he could easily have befooled and prevented them all he could for a word of his mouth have had a guard of more than twelve legions of Angels for his assistance or rescue Matth. 26.53 54. And when they came to apprehend him he did but speak a word and they went backward and fell to the ground Joh. 18.6 Neither was it lastly the timorousness of Pilate whereby he yeelded to the importunity of the Jews even against his own conscience See Mat. 27.18 24. Luke 23.4 14.22 c. And when Pilate did proudly boast of his power over him he checked him and told him roundly that all his power was no more but an inferiour delegated power meerly at the pleasure of an higher Joh. 19.10 11. So then it was not any one of these nor all these put together that could possibly bring the Son of God under the Curse they were onely subordinate instruments acting in some parts of it but he was infinitely above them all We must seek out some higher cause Therefore 2 Positively The Scripture holds forth three things very remarkable to this purpose which being taken joyntly are that soveraign power whereby Christ was made a Curse 1 The decree and appointment of God As he was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world 1 Pet. 1.20 so he was delivered to death by the

of peace and salvation to the lost world but every mothers childe of us had continued in the bond of iniquity and had suffered the extremity of the curse in our own persons for ever For this is the very next bottome whereupon all Gospel-grace and whatsoever is necessary to the salvation of sinners doth stand and as it were the soul from which it hath both being and breathing The excellency of the cause hath a strong influence into the effect to make it excellent also If we look upon the nature and frame of man in the first Creation his body curiously wrought out of the dust of the earth his soul breathed into him from heaven to be both a living creature and made after the Image of God Gen. 1.26 2.7 and all this done with a word we cannot but say it is a very excellent and precious work David stands wondering at it Psal 139.14 15. How much more excellent and precious is the work of grace which is the fruit of Redemption our second Creation for the effecting whereof the Lord did not onely Let it be but as if that were not sufficient the second person must lay aside his glory and take upon him the form of a servant and not onely bear our nature but also our sin and curse even to the death Phil. 2.7 8. By this we should estimate the exceeding great worth of that grace which is brought unto us by the revelation of the Gospel If some good things of nature be precious much more are those of grace Deut. 33.1 c. Prov. 3.14 15. And if we cannot but wonder at some of the eminentest works of nature how much more cause have we to admire the beauty and glory of that great work of grace which the Apostle calls marvellous light 1 Pet. 2.9 See 1 Pet. 1.12 4 God will have a Church Although Adam and all his posterity revolted from God and ran away into the tents of Satan his utter enemy to his dishonour and their own ruine yet for all that he hath a designe to fetch back and recover a number of them to make them his own people and thereby to glorifie the riches of his grace towards them in an eminent measure Me thinks I hear the Lord speaking on this manner What hath the crooked Serpent of hell served me thus Hath he enticed Adam unto rebellion against me and cheated him into the curse of my Law Alas poor man I pitty thee that thou hast suffered thy self to be thus ensnared How art thou fallen from thy dignity Into what a gulf of perdition hast thou implunged all thy posterity Ier. 48.30 But I know Satan his pride his malice and his envy that he would not leave me a people on the earth to serve me I know his wrath but it shall not be so his lyes shall not so effect it I will take a speedy course to befool him in his own plot I will have a people that shall be for my praise in despite of him Having therefore predestinated from eternity a considerable number of this forlorn generation and finding them now among the pots covered all over with filth and shame through their Apostacy his infinite wisdome deviseth a way to recover them out of captivity He gives the Lord Jesus out of his own bosome tha● by taking upon him the curse due to them he might ransome them from the curse and separate them from the lost world which lyes in wickedness and under the power of Satan and so form them for himself that they might shew forth his praise Isa 43.21 These are the very matter whereof the Church consists I mean the invisible Church which may be defined a chosen company of the posterity of Adam whom God hath purchased with his own blood out of every Kindred and Tongue and People Mat 16.18 and Nation to be a peculiar people to himself Act. 20.28 Rev. 5.9 Tit. 2.14 Thus out of the ashes of this ruined world God raiseth up to himself a glorious Phenix Eph. 5.26 A Church which shall never dye but shall be established for ever Psal 102.28 125.1 5 The Church is very dear and precious in the eyes of the Lord Jesus They are the purchase of his own blood and thereby are become his peculiar people The costliness of any commodity puts upon it a suitable preciousness endearing it to the person which bare the cost of it Jacob served a hard service for Rachel and that inhanced her worth in his heart and increased his love to her so that the dayes seemed to him but a few Gen. 29.20 Michal Davids wife cost him two hundred fore-skins of the Philistims 1 Sam. 18.27 A great adventure an high exploit This doubtless rendred her the more dear to him which appears by his peremptory requiring her after she was unjustly taken away from him and had been some years another mans wife Probably seven years 2 Sam. 3.13 14 c. Jesus Christ served a very hard service and wrought a very great exploi● that he might purchase unto himself a Church to be his Spouse and having compassed her with much difficulty he looks upon her as his Sister his Love his Dove his fair One yea all fair the fairest among women the One the onely One the choice One his heart is ravished with her Cant. 4.9 she is as the poor mans little Ewe Lamb that lay in his bosome and was unto him as a Daughter 2 Sam. 12.31 A Kingdome or City wonne in battel with confused noise Hephzibah Isa 62.4 Multo sanguine ac vulneribus ea victoria stetit and garments rolled in blood Isa 9.5 is so much more dear to the Conquerour because it cost so dear The Kingdome of heaven the City of the great King is conquered out of the the hands of Satan at a very dear rate It cost the Lord Jesus strong crying and tears yea much blood and many wounds therefore surely it is very near to his heart and precious in his sight Isa 43.4 6 The condition of the invisible Church and all the members of the Lords chosen people is incomparably happy They are the onely renowned Society in the world for they are the Lords Redeemed ones This glorious design when once it takes place in poor lost sinners and is laid in their bosomes puts them into a glorious estate We may say of the Church as Moses of Israel Deut. 33.29 Happy art thou who is like unto thee O people saved by the Lord c. That we may take the length and breadth of this happiness let us look upon Redemption in its 1 Properties 2 Benefits 3 Priviledges Sect. 2. Three properties of Redemption and three Benefits issue from it 1 REdemption by Christ hath these three excellent Properties 1 It s free and gracious As the Israelites sold themselves to their corporal enemies for naught so we became slaves to our spiritual enemies without price and as they so we are redeemed without
