name whereby he shall be called the Lord our righteousness Well what time doth this prophecy relate to A very evil time Woe be unto the Pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture v. 1. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel ver 2. Against the Pastors that feed my people ye have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them and then comes in the prophecy of Christ So in Isa 28. you have a great prophecy of Christ ver 16. Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a tried stone a precious corner-stone a sure foundation A plain prophecy of Christ Well but how comes this in Why it was calculated for an evil time at the 14th Verse Hear the word of the Lord ye scornful men that rule this people which is in Jerusalem because ye have said We have made a covenant with death and with hell are we at agreement when the overflowing scourge shall pass through Therefore thus saith the Lord God Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone a tried stone a precious corner stone judgment also will I lay to the line and righteousness to the plummet and the hail thall sweep away the refuge of lies and the waters shall overflow the hiding place and your covenant with death shall be disanulled and your agreement with Hell shall not stand a prophecy concerning Christ calculated for the worst of times So in Ezek. 34. you have another prophecy of Christ v. 23. And I will set up one shepherd over them and he shall feed them even my servant David he shall feed them and he shall be their shepherd plainly speaking of Christ VVell but when doth he speak this prophecy of Christ Look into the beginning of the Chapter v. 2. Son of man prophesie against the shepherds of Israel prophesie and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God unto the Shepherds Wo be to the Shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves should not the shepherds feed the flocks ye eat the fat and ye clothe ye with the wool ye kill them that are fed but ye feed not the flock Now in this time comes out the prophecy of Christ you make mention of Aqua-vitae at other times but when there is special mention made of Aquavitae and the Aquavitae-bottle in a fainting and dying time what doth this argue but there is a cordiality in it the first time that ever Christ was prophesied of what time was it Adam fell and all the Children of men were in a most sad condition what cordial was then brought forth but this The seed of the woman shall break the serpents head Gen. 3. 15. and this is ordinary the promises and prophecyes of Christ are calculated for the worst of times why but to teach us that there is enough in Christ to comfort succour and relieve in the worst of times 3. If there was enough in the types of Christ to comfort and releive the Saints and people of God under the Old Testament in the worst of their times then there must needs be enough in Christ himself to relieve and comfort the Saints and people of God now in New Testament times in the worst of our times Now so it was in the times of the Old Testament in case they had sinned what relief had they a Sacrifice to make an attonement Levit. 4. 20. and so a type of Christ the great Sacrifice Heb. 9. 26. in case they were in the wilderness and wanted bread what relief had they they had there Manna a type of Christ The true bread that came down from heaven Joh. 6. 50 51. In case they wanted water what relief had they The rock opened and that rock was Christ 1 Cor. 10. 4. The Rock followed them and the Rock was Christ In case they were stung with the fiery Serpents what relief had they They had the Brazen Serpent and that was a type of Christ Joh. 3. 15. Now I say if the people of God in Old Testament-times had relief in the types of Christ surely there is relief enough for us now in New Testament times in Christ himself 4. If all the promises of good things made to us were origined in Christ and if all the promises that are made unto Christ of good things to come do descend and run down upon us more or less then surely there is enough in Christ to relieve and succour in the worst of times For what are the promises but divine conveyances Now all the promises of good things that are made to us they flow from Christ for all the promises are yea and Amen in Christ 2 Cor. 1. 20. Yea that is affirmed Amen that is confirmed all the promises made to us are affirmed and confirmed by Christ And on the other side all the promises that are made to Christ do descend upon us Look into Psal 2. there is a great promise made to Christ at ver 8. Ask of me and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession thou shalt break them with a rod of iron thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potters vessel A promise plainly given to Christ and see how it descends and falls upon us Revel 2. 26. He that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end to him will I give power over the Nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers even as I received of my father Even as I received of my Father look what promise I have received of my Father the same doth descend and fall down upon you Now then if all the promises of good things made to us were origined in Christ and if all the promises that are made unto Christ of good things to come do descend and run down upon us surely there is enough in Christ to succour and relieve in the worst of times 5. One thing more If that all our want of comfort and satisfaction doth arise from the want of a sight of Christs fulness and excellency and all our satisfaction and comfort doth arise from the sight of Christs fulness and excellency then this Doctrine must needs be true Now look into Revel 5. and see how John weeps and upon what account I saw sayes John in the right hand of him that sate on the Throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals and at vers 2. I saw a strong Angel proclaiming with a loud voice who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof and no man in heaven nor in earth neither under the earth was able to open the book Then at ver 4. says he I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book neither to look thereon What stilled him what quieted him The sight of Christ at ver 5. And one of the Elders saith unto me weep
