could not have bin better for Paul to have been dead than to live it were better that Paul had lived even to the day of Judgment than to have died and so to be nothing and turned into dust but he saith that when he died he should be with Christ which was better for him but that which swayed him on the other side why he should be willing to live it was this That he might be useful to the Churches Nevertheless it is better for you that I should abide in the flesh Service to the Churches is the great cause that makes one who hath made his peace with God to be willing to live it is not that he may live in ease and enjoy pleasures to the flesh but that he may live and do service for God that makes him willing to live And then he tels them he is confident he shal continue with them a while for the furtherance of their faith and that by his coming to them their rejoycing should be more abundant but in the mean time whether I do come or come not Only let your Conversation be as becometh the Gospel of Christ As if he should say I shall the more willingly live my life wil be the more comfortable to me it will somthing recompence my absence from Heaven my staying from the joyes of it if your Conversation be as becometh the Gospel of Jesus Christ If I may hear from you being absent or when I come to you I may see that your Conversation be as becommeth the Gospel of Jesus Christ This is the dependancy of the words For the opening of the words Only Only let your Conversation That is as if he should say be not solicitous about me and my sufferings and what shall become of me and whether I shall come to you or not be not so careful about that only let your care be taken up about this great business That your Conversation be as becometh the Gospel of Christ for saies he this should be the main thing that I should aim at if I should come to you this is that I should put you upon and give you directions about That your Conversation be as becometh the Gospel of Jesus Christ And if I be absent there is not any thing I desire more to hear of than this That you that have received the Gospel of Christ from my hands as it were through my Ministry that your Conversations be as becometh the Gospel of Jesus Christ Brethren if we had Paul here present with us or preaching among us or if he were alive and could write an Epistle to this Congregation or any other Congregation the main drift of his preaching or writing would be to those that had heretofore received the Gospel That they would make it their great care that their Conversations be as becomes the Gospel of Christ Only let your Conversation The word here is a word taken from the ordering of a City or a Common-wealth wherein every one acts in their own sphere and is serviceable each unto other to the publick good so saith he the Church of God it is as a City as a Common-wealth wherein every Christian is to act in his own sphere and every one laboring for the good each of other in a comely order that so there may not only be peace in the Churches but edification of all and the Gospel may thrive and prosper that 's the meaning of this word translated here Let your Conversation As if he should say Do not think it enough that you have some enlightenings that you have some stirrings some affections are moved by the Ministry of the Gospel rest not there but look to your Conversation It is not enough for Christians to have knowledg and to be able to speak of the Gospel and have some stirrings of affection but they must look to their Conversations Let your Conversation be As it becometh the Gospel of Christ For the opening of these words there are these two things considerable First What is this Gospel of Christ that here is spoken of And secondly What is it so to live as becometh the Gospel of Christ Let your Conversation be as becometh the Gospel of Christ The Gospel of Christ in general is this It is the good Tydings that God hath revealed concerning Christ This hath come unto your ears the good Tydings concerning Christ for so the word Gospel the Greek word signifies nothing else but the good Tydings the good Tydings that comes from Heaven unto you concerning Jesus Christ that 's the Gospel of Christ More largely it is this As all Mankind were lost in Adam become the children of wrath put under the sentence of death God though he left his fallen Angels and hath reserved them in the chains of eternal darkness yet he hath thought upon the children of men he hath provided a way of atonement to reconcile them to himself again Namely the second Person in Trinity takes mans nature upon him and becomes the Head of a second Covenant standing charged with mans sin and to answer for it in a way of suffering what the Law and Divine Justice required and for making satisfaction and keeping the Law perfectly which satisfaction and righteousness he tenders up unto the Father as a sweet savor of Rest for the souls of those that are given to him and now this mediation of Christ is by the appointment of the Father preached to the children of men of what Nation or rank soever freely offering this unto sinners for atonement for them requiring them to beleeve in him and upon beleeving promising not only a discharge of all their former sins but that they shall never enter into condemnation that none of their sins or unworthiness shall ever hinder the peace of God with them but that they shall through him be received into the number of Sons that they shall have the Image of God again to be renewed in them that they shall be kept by the Power of God through faith and salvation that these souls and bodies shall be raised to the height of glory that such creatures are capable of that they shall live for ever enjoying the presence of God and Christ in the fulness of al good this is the Gospel of Christ this is the sum of the Gospel that is preached unto sinners when you hear speaking of the Gospel your thoughts may be about this this glad Tydings that is come into the world for salvation of sinful creatures through Jesus Christ and all the good things that Jesus Christ by his blood hath purchased for sinners When Ministers are cald the Ministers of the Gospel the meaning is they are appointed by God Ministers to declare and to preach this glad Tydings to the world Oh it is glad Tydings indeed to the world could there be such glad tidings preached at Hell gates that there were any such way of reconciliation of them to God we could not but conceive there would

him so that his obedience was tendred up to God to that end that he might obtain the continuance of a natural life here in this world only in order unto that for we find no more revealed The first man Adam he was Natural the second Spiritual the first of the Earth earthly the second the Lord from Heaven The Apostle 1 Cor. 15. speaks of Adam in innocency as the common head of al man-kind he was of the Earth earthly and in way of distinction the second Adam was the Lord from Heaven He brings all heavenly glory Though Adam had stood yet we never reade of any heavenly glory that ever he or his posterity should have had but the second Adam he is the Lord from Heaven that brings Heavenly glory with him That 's the second thing considerable in the Law as a Covenant with Adam The third thing in the Law as a Covenant with Adam was this That Adam under the Law he must have wrought by his own strength that he had received God at first gave man strength for obedience and he puts his stock into his own hand and so he must have wrought and continued by the power of the strength that God did at first give him he had not that fountain to go to for that continual supply of strength as we have which you shall see presently Fourthly Adam he was in such a condition as he was in hazard of his miscarrying for his eternal estate He was indeed in a way of obedience to the Law that God gave him but still so as he was in hazard of eternal miscarrying this was the condition of Adam under the Law Obj. You will say He was holy and had no sin Ans But considering his condition under the Law That it was Obedience to God as a Creator he did work for natural good and he wrought by the strength he had received and he was in hazard of miscarrying eternally Now compare his condition with the condition of the Saints in the time of the Gospel and you will find the condition of the Saints having the fruit of the Gospel to be in a great deal better condition even now not only shall be in Heaven but are in a better condition now than Adam was in paradise 1. Adam he obeyed God and tendered up his service to God as a Creator But now the people of God under the Gospel those that are brought home to God by the Gospel they look upon God under another relation not meerly as Creator but all their services that they tender up to God it is as unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and their Father in Him I go to my Father and I go to your Father saith Christ John 20. 17. It 's true still we look upon God as the First-being of all things as Creator but we look upon Him in a higher relation than meerly our Creator we look upon Him as the Father of Jesus Christ and so in Jesus Christ as our Father and so we tender up obedience to Him in that way and surely such obedience tendered up to God as under such a relation should be a higher kind of obedience a higher kind of holiness than was in Adam Although it is true in respect of our condition here we are not so free from corruption as Adam was in Innocencie yet the obedience that we tender up to God though it be not so free I say from mixture yet it is of a higher nature than Adams was it is to God as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ 2. We have better promises than ever Adam had we have promises of Heavenly Glory that he had not God doth not say Do and live to us only live hear in the world in a natural life and I will free you from outward troubles and from the death of the body But we know that the Gospel brings immortallity and glory to light it tels us of the glory of Heaven and of the Mansions that Jesus Christ is gone before to prepare of the glorious Communion that the Saints shall have with God in the highest heavens which is another manner of motive to obedience than ever Adam had And therefore our obedience to God should be raised in a higher way than ever his was 3. The strength that we have it 's not put into our own hands to keep and so to improve and there 's all But Jesus Christ the Second Person in Trinity He is fil'd with all fulness that we might receive grace for grace continually from the fulness of Jesus Christ that hath all the treasures of wisdom in Him In Him it pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell now the Saints by faith have as it were a pipe laid into that Cistern that hath all fulness from whence continually by the work of Faith they draw strength and nourishment new supply from Him they have not somewhat given to them and so are set to trade for themselves and improve what is given them but they suck new vertue from Jesus Christ as from a Head Adam he was the head of the first Covenant himself but now 't is Jesus Christ that is the Head of the Second and all Beleevers draw spirits from Jesus Christ and strength from him as from the Head they have a Head that Adam had not to draw strength from and therefore they are to manifest the strength of Jesus Christ in all their waies that fulness that there is in Jesus Christ they are to make that appear to the world in their lives and Conversations And therefore that text Col. 1 10 11. is very remarkable That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledg of God mark in the 11. verse strengthened with all might according to his glorious power This is worthy of the Lord because that now we come to receive of his fulness of the fulness of Jesus Christ and to have a continual supply from him Though 't is true so God hath ordered it that so long as we live we shall have some mixtures of corruption here but yet he hath provided a help for us a fulness in his Son that from Him we should draw of His fulness and so come to be strengthened with all might 4. We now serve the Lord and obey Him in our lives as those that are delivered from the hazard of eternal miscarrying Adam obeyed but yet he might know when he was obeying I now obey but I am in danger to miscarry eternally every hour to undo my self and posterity for ever But now certainly this very thought and the understanding of this it could not stand with that full freedom of spirit that the Saints may have now under the Gospel the Saints under the Gospel come in a way of obedience to God and upon this ground they have their feet as it were upon sure ground Well as for my eternal estate the hazard of
