of the resurrection as the addition sheweth For thou shalt not leaue my soule in graue neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption Wherefore the resurrection is stiled by Peter Act. 3.19 Ma. 5.4.6 Reu. 17.1 Reuel 21 the time of refreshing for the hungrie shall bee satisfyed which is their refreshing the mourners comforted which is their refreshing all teares wiped away from our eyes which is our refreshing death shall bee no more nor sorrowe nor crying nor any more paine which is our gratious generall refreshing The resurrection as Augustine saith August Psal 10. Est formidenda malis propter paenam amanda bonis propter coronam It is fearefull to the wicked for the stroke of Iustice it is welcome to the Godlye for the crowne of righteousnes As two that are cast into the Gaole the one for a Capital the other for a common offence entertaine the time of the assises and comming of the Iudge with contrarie affection as being this mans absolution the other mans condemnation and therefore the one is incouraged and the other is cast downe when this time commeth so the good in the resurection holde vp their heads for their gaole deliuerie and redemption is at hand the bad hang downe their heads and are out of soule for their swift damnation commeth This calleth vpon vs for our speedie repentance least that day as a snare vnawares come vpon vs For such as this time leaue vs such shall that time finde vs Qualis quisque in isto die moritur Iug. hesych pist 8 talis in die illo iudicabitur as a man dyeth in this day so shall he bee iudged in that day 2. The certaine expectation of the resurrection and the due and duetiful meditation of it serueth to rouse vs vp from our beddes of security to take vs by the elbowes and set vs on our feete and much fruite groweth vpon the stalke It powreth water vpon the Furnace of our furious affections and cooleth them it is the watch and the dyall by which we are directed to spend our time and it is the fanne that fifteth and winnoweth the pelfe from the corne the staffe of our iourney towards heauen more fortunate then Iacobs was with which he passed ouer Iordan the starre that leadeth the Godly wise to the heauenly Bethlehem where Christ is as the Commet led the wisemen of the east to Bethlehem where Christ was He that hath a yerely great inheritance may spend somewhat liberally but he that oweth more then he is worth must not spend an idle penny as being to stand to the curtesie of his creditor that will call him to a reckoning It so fareth with vs we are already much cast behinde hand as hauing spent too much time already vpon our pleasures and our sinnes it remaineth now that we apply our selues to the Appostles counsell to redeeme the time because the daies are euill and to ioyne in petition to God with Dauid O let me liue and recouer my selfe before I goe hence and be no more seene The serious thought of this draue Ierom to his dumpes and pricked him in the quickest vaine whatsoeuer he went about hearing the voice of the iudgement sounding in his eares of which he saith thus siue vigilo siue dormio siue aliquidaliud ago videor mihi audire vocem hanc in aure mea surgite mortui venite ad iudicium whether I awake or sleepe or whatsoeuer else I doe I seeme to heare this voice ringing in mine eares Awake ye dead and come to iudgement The sound of this trumpet awaketh vs all and it is a Spur to the Godly to prick them vnto vertue and a bridle to the wicked to holde them in frō vice While the Apostle fed vpō this as vpon a restoratiue That the resurrection of the dead should be of the iust and vniust how it wrought he telleth vs. In this respect I endeauour my selfe to haue alwaies a cleare conscience towards God and man Act. 24.15.16 3. The faith in the resurrection serueth to scatter our inordinate passions which naturally strangle vs for our deceased friends and to keepe them within the limits and boundes of orderly moderation While we consider how death that slayeth vs all is slaine in the electe by the generall resurrection that non obijt sed abijt non amisimus sed premisin us He is not lost Gen. 15.15 Num. 27.13 but left for a while he is but gone with Abraham to his fathers as heere liuing but among strangers he is but gathered to his people with Moses as being heere but scattered his flesh sleeping and resting in hope with Dauids Psal 16.9 easing himselfe after such wearysome labours of this life which being finished hee ariseth there fully to his endlesse felicitye his soule all the while being in Gods custodye and his spirit in the hands of the Lord of the spirits of all flesh as Dauid teacheth vs in his last wil and testament leauing his kingdome to his Son his carkas to the soyle and to God his soule Psal 31.5 saying Into thy hands I commend my spirit for thou hast redeemed me O Lord thou God of truth which the second Dauid of the seede of Dauid sampleth committing his soule to no other keeper then to the Creator as being there moste sure as the Apostle saith Luk 23 46 I know whome I haue beleeued and I am perswaded 2. Tim. 1 12 that hee is able to keepe that which I haue committed to him against that day 4. While wee assertaine our selues of the resurrection and rest our selues in that as Doues in the cleftes of the rockes we are armed and prepared against the terror of death for wee consider howe God hath turned it into our benefit and made it our entrance into a better life our passage from a prison to a pallace from a tabernacle to an abiding Cittie from a region of death to the land of the liuing from the life of men to the life of Angelles from a bodie of humillitie to a bodie of glorye from the vale of teares to that mount of Sion where the Lambe is gathering the Saints about him to the copartnershippe of those ioyes which hee himselfe enioyeth according to that which the Apostle saith 2 Cor 5 1 VVee knowe that when our earthlie house of this tabernacle shall bee dissolued wee haue a building giuen of God which is an house not made with handes but eternall in the heauens What man hath beene thrown into a deepe dungion without light of Sun or Mooneful of Serpents and all vile creatures would not bee glad to bee set at libertie our death resurrection is this great mutation the bodie being the prison of the soule and the graue the prison of the bodie the bodie being as ful of sinnes as any prison is of Serpents in this life and heauen being the pallace of our endlesse pleasures What man maketh not hast for his life
