For for this end Christ both dyed and rose and revived that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living THe dependance of these words upon the former I take to be this the scope of the Apostle in this Chapter is to stay the ridged censures of other concerning weaker Christians especially about matters of indifferency or at the least of a lesse nature In the 6. verse saith he He that regards not a day regards it not to the Lord he that eates eates to the Lord and he that eates not to the Lord he eates not and gives God thankes c. His reason is this they that in eating or in not eating doe it with a religious respect to the Lord if they eate it is to the Lord if they eate not it is to the Lord that is in obedience to the Lord they are to be borne withall because they doe it with religious respects though perhaps there may be a little errour in the matter yet there be some things of such indifferencie that they not give denomination to the action if it be to the Lord howsoever the action bee not altogether to be excused yet the person is to be excused and is not to bee hardly censured therefore considering that they that doe it and they that doe it not doe it to the Lord be not hasty in your censures Quest. How doth hee proove that these holy Christians did eate or not eate to the Lord Answ. From this because they were the Lords they that are the Lords they live to him and dye to him and therefore they doe particular actions to him No man verse 7. lives to himselfe nor no man dyeth to himselfe which includes all particular actions Whether we live we live to the Lord or whether we dye we dye to the Lord whether we live therefore or dye we are the Lords he proves therefore that they doe eate or not eate to the Lord if they bee good Christians because they are the Lords Those that are the Lords live to the Lord and doe all particular actions to the Lord such must not be harshly censured because they are the servants of the Lord. In the third placē how doth he prove that they are the Lords that live and dye to him He prooves it from the maine ground in the text For for this end Christ both dyed and rose and revived that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living So you see the dependance of the reason they eate or eate not to the Lord why because they are the Lords But how is it they are the Lords It is the end of the three actions of Christ here Christ dyed and rose againe and revived for this end that hee might be Lord of the dead and of the living so you see the connexion of these words with the former In the words you have argumentum argumenti ratio the argument and the reasoning from the argument the ground and the inference from the ground the ground is Christ dyed and rose againe and revived what is the inference from that that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living In the words therefore wee will consider the argument it selfe the ground it selfe and then the inference For for this end Christ both dyed and rose and revived There are three branches of the ground Christ Dyed Rose Revived Of the inference wee will speake afterwards and shew how these grounds inforce that inference that he should be Lord both of the dead and of the living Christ dyed First of all you must know that Christ dyed here as a publicke person or else the inference were not good Christ tooke upon him the person of no man but the nature for this end that he

they may be serviceable to the maine else not to performe them Herein consists the maine happines of a Christian that whether hee lives or dies hee is not his owne but hee is his that can dispose of him better then ever he could of himselfe for if wee had the disposing of our selves as Adam had what would become of us what became of Adam when he was master of himselfe he lost himselfe and all The second Adam hath bought us with his blood and life to rule us for ever will hee then suffer us to bee disposed off by our selves No whether wee live or dye wee are his if we yeeld our selves sweetely to his governement in life and death THE THIRD SERMON ON ROM 14. 9. For to this end Christ both dyed and rose and revived that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living IN these words as you heard heretofore at large the Apostle labours to stay the thoughts and affections of men concerning the things of indifferency that they should not be hasty to censure anothers Servant who stands or falls to his owne Master as you have it in Verse 4. The reason is because whatsoever they do they doe it to the Lord He that regards a day regards it to the Lord hee that regards not a day regards it not to the Lord. Some things are of that nature that the right aime puts a qualification upon the actions a good end cannot qualifie many actions but some actions are of that nature that a good aime doth not altogether justifie it but it frees the person from some censure he doth it to God some upon some conceite may abstaine from a thing for religious ends and are not to bee censured some againe performe it and are not to be censured because they doe it to the Lord that is out of religious respects How doth he prove that they doe it to the Lord he proves it more generally ver 7. None of us live to our selves nor none of us dye to our selves which I spake of before Then he proves that we are the Lords because it was the end of Christs dying and rising and reviving that hee might be Lord both of the dead and of the living and if he be the Lord then we ought to live to this Lord of the quicke and dead We see Saint Paul here makes use of a generall truth of a grand principle that we are the Lords and therefore live to him and dye to him and doe particular actions to him or not doe them to him to shew that wee should have in minde information of sound general truths that are the ground of all particular practise as we shall see after For to this end Christ both dyed rose and revived c. The words they are Christs universall government of the dead and of the living inferred from the end of his death reviving and rising againe a comfortable inference from a strong ground We considered the particulars Christs death rising and reviving Christ dyed as a second Adam as a publicke person in whom dying all dyed when other men dyed particular men dyed when Paul was dead Paul dyed and there was an end onely there was an exemplary good in his death but there is more then an exemplary good in the death of Christ Christ dyed alone and singular in this respect because in him dying all dyed that were his that the Father gave him to dye for for they goe parallell Gods gift and Christs death hee did all by commission and hee would not transgresse his commission and he dyed a violent and cursed death because otherwise hee could not have saved us that were under a curse so as a second Adam hee rose and as a publike person therefore wee see in the resurrection of Christ many rose it is like enough they dyed againe it was for a particular dispensation to shew that Christ rose as a publicke person and it is not strange to thinke so that to honour God they should be content to live a w●●●e when Christ himselfe that was God was content to bee man and to be abased to death that grand mystery makes all other things credible he rose therefore as a publicke person to give life to all that he dyed for So hee revived that is more than to rise againe never againe to lay downe his life as you have it excellently set downe among other places Revel 1. 18. I am he that liveth and was dead and behold I live for ever more amen and he seales it too I have the keyes of hell and of death that is the dominion of hell and death for inde●●●hrist is life it selfe and life cannot dye as God he could not dye and therefore he tooke upon him that nature wherein he might dye for us and now having done that dispensation that office there is a perpetuall influence of life from the fountaine of life his Godhead to his humanity so he never dyes any more then here followes the scope and end of all That he might be Lord of the dead and of the living The three offices of Christ they have this order in regard of manifestation First he was a Prophet to instruct and teach his in himselfe and likewise by his ministery And then a Priest to dye for those that are his to make intercession now for ever in heaven and then a King first a Prophet then a Priest and then a King He was all at once the very union invested him in all these but in regard of manifestation he was first a Prophet to in struct us of the end of his comming into the world and then a Priest to doe that grand office that we have most comfort by and then a King to rule us he could not be otherwise for if he had manifested himselfe a King and a Lord in his glory where had beene his abasement if they had knowne him to be the Lord of glory they would never have curcified him onely some sparkles of his God head and Lordship and Kingdome and royalty over all flesh brake out in his miracles yea in his greatest abasement there were some sparkles I say even when he lay in the manger Kings came to adore him when he payd tribute he had it out of a fish by a command by majesty when he was on the crosse hee converted the good theese so somewhat brake out of him that he was a person more than ordinary but that was for speciall ends ordinarily hee went on in a course of abasement and all that he might performe the great worke of redemption therefore hee made a stoppe of his glory and Kingly office that hee might not manifest himselfe in that relation and office that he might doe the office of a Priest to dye for us therefore you have it here in the due order Christ dyed and rose againe as the high Priest of his Church that hee might he Lord of the dead and of the living he was
