wrapt mee vp in his Couenant and deriu'd mee from Christian Parents I suck'd Christian bloud in my Mothers wombe and Christian milke at my Nurses breast The first sound that I heard in the world was the voice of Christians and the first Character that I was taught to know was the Crosse of CHRIST IESVS How many children that are borne so borne within the Couenant borne of Christian Parents doe yet die before they bee baptiz'd though they were borne heires to Baptisme But God hath afforded me the seale of that Sacrament And then how many that are baptiz'd and so eas'd in originall sinne doe yet proceed to act●all sins and are surpriz'd by death before they receiue the Seale of their Reconciliation to Christ in the Sacrament of his body and his bloud but God hath afforded mee the Seale of that Sacrament too What sinnes soeuer GOD forgaue mee this morning yet since the best and I am none of them fall seuen times a day God forgiues mee seuen more sinnes to morrow then he did to day and seuen in this Arithmetike is infinite Gods temporall Gods spirituall blessings are inexhaustible What haue wee that we haue not receiued But what haue wee receiued in respect of that which is laid vp for vs And therefore Expectamus We determine our selues in God so as that wee looke for nothing but from him But not so as that wee hope for no more from him then we haue had For that were to determine God to circumscribe God to make God finite Therefore we blesse God for our possession but yet we expect a larger reuersion And the day intended in this Text shall make that Reuersion our Possession which is the day of Iudgment Therefore in the verse immediatly before the Text the Apostle accompanies this Expectantes with another word it is Expectantes properantes Looking for and hasting to the comming of the day of God Wee must haue such an Expectation of that day as may imply testifie a loue to it a desire of it a longing for it When these things beginne to come to passe saies Christ speaking of the signes preceding the last day then looke vp and lift your heads for your Redemption draweth neere All our deiections of spirit should receiue an exaltation in that one consolation that that day draweth neere Seu velimus seu nolimus Whether we will or no that day will come but saies that Father in that short prayer of his the Lord hath giuen thee an entire Petition for accelerating and hasting that day of the Lord When hee bids thee say Thy Kingdome come hee meanes that thou shouldest meane the Kingdome of glory at the Iudgement as well as the Kingdome of Grace in the Church Christ sayes If I goe and prepare a place for you I will come againe and receiue you vnto my selfe that where I am you may be also Now Beloued hath Christ done one halfe of this for vs and would not we haue him doe the other halfe too Is he gone to prepare the place and would we not haue him come to fetch vs to it Certainly Christ speakes that in fauour he intends● it for a fauour when he sayes Behold I come quickly It is one fauour that hee will come and seconded with another that he will make speed to saue vs that hee will make haste to helpe vs. And to establish vs in that assurance hee addes in that place Behold I come quickly and my reward is with mee if the comming doe not if the speed doe not yet let the reward worke in you a desire of that day The last words that Christ speakes in the Bible and amongst vs last words make deepest impressions are Surely I come quickly And the last answer that is made in our behalfes there is Amen euen so come Lord Iesus There is scarce any amongst vs but does expect this commings They that feare it expect it But that crowne that the Apostle speakes of is laid vp for them that loue the appearing of the Lord Not only expect it but loue it And no man can doe so that hath not a confidence in his cause Aduentū Iudi●is non diligit No prisoner longs for the Sessions no Client longs for the day of hearing Nisuqui in causa suase sciat habere iustitiae meritum Except hee know his cause to bee good and assure himselfe that hee shall stand vpright in Iudgement But can wee haue that assurance Assuredly ● wee may He that hath seene the marks of election in both editions in the Scripture first and then in his conscience hee that does not flatter and abuse his owne soule nor tempt and presume vpon God he that in a sobe● and rectified conscience findes himselfe truly incorporated in Christ truly interessed in his merits may be sure that if the day of Iudgement came now now he should be able to stand vpright in Iudgement And therefore let Schoole-boyes looke after holy-dayes and worldly men after rent-dayes and Trauellers after Fairedayes and Chap-men after Market-dayes Neuerthelesse We we that haue laid hold vpon God and laid hold vpon him by the right handle According to his promises Expectamus We looke for this day of the Lord and Properamus We are glad it is so neere and wee desire the further hasting of it But then Beloued the day of our death is the Eue of this day of the Lord The day of our death is the Saturday of this Sunday the next day after my death is the day of Iudgement For betweene these these eyes shall see no more dayes And then are wee bound nay may wee lawfully wish and desire the day of our death as wee haue said wee are bound to doe the day of Iudgement The Soules of the Martyrs vnder the Altar in Heauen cry vnto God there Vsque quo Domine How long ô Lord holy and true doest thou not iudge and auenge our bloud That which those Martyrs solicite there is the day of Iudgement And thogh that which they aske was not presently granted but the day of Iudgement put off for a time yet God was not displeased with their solicitation for for all that hee gaue them then their white robes testimony enough of their innocencie If we could wish our owne death as innocently as harmlesly as they did the day of Iudgement if no ill circumstances in vs did vitiate our desire of death if there were no dead flies in this oyntment as Salomon speakes if we had not at least a collaterall respect if not a direct and principall to our owne ease from the incum brances and grieuances and annoyances of this world certainly wee might safely desire piously wish religiously pray for our owne death But it is hard verie hard to de●est those circumstances that infect it For if I pretend to desire death meerly for the fruition of the glorie of the sight of God I must remember that my Sauiour
