free from his master Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat The third thing wherein men are sayd to die is in their sinnes This befalleth all the vnbelievers who die in vnbeliefe according to that saying of our Saviour I sayde therefore vnto yom that yee shall die in your sinnes For if yee belieue not that I am HEE yee shall die in your sinnes Where is not meaned that they shall cease to bee in their sinnes or in the stayne and guiltinesse therof as those who dying in worldlie wealth or povertie cease to bee in them anie more but hee that dieth in his sinnes his bones are full of the sinne of his youth which shall lye downe with him in the dust Now as Salomon sayth if the tree fall toward the south or toward the north in the place where the tree falleth there it shall be That is as Saynct Hierome expounds the place in what estate a man dieth eyther in sinne or in righteousnesse hee shall for ever remayne in that same estate The miserie of such a man is descrybed in the Evangell of Saynct IOHN with the felicitie of those who liue and die in the true fayth of the Sonne of GOD briefelie in these wordes Hee that believeth on the Sonne hath everlasting Lyfe and hee that believeth not the Sonne shall not see Lyfe but the wrath of GOD abydeth on him Therefore this Proposition Blessed are they that die in the LORD is reciprocall They die in the LORD who are blessed meaning of mortall men who die this bodilie death of whom none are blessed but onlie they that die in the LORD Neyther is there salvation in anie other for there is none other name vnder Heaven given amongst men whereby wee must bee saved To die in the LORD signifieth not that the LORD is the cause of our death as Adam to them that die in Adam but it signifieth that happie estate of a dying man that hee is in the LORD and consequentlie of the number of those of whom the Apostle sayeth There is no condemnation to those which are in CHRIST IESVS Neyther doeth dying in the LORD import ceasing from beeing in the LORD as they who die in worldlie wealth or povertie doe cease to bee in that estate anie more but to die in the LORD signifieth to die beeing and remayning in the LORD before death in death and after death The LORD is our lyfe even aeternall Lyfe He then that dieth in the LORD remayneth in Lyfe according to that saying of our Saviour Verilie verilie I say vnto you he that heareth My word and believeth on Him that sent Mee hath everlasting Lyfe and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death vnto lyfe Death may separate our soule from our bodie but it can not breake that Union which wee haue with IESUS CHRIST whose wee are whether wee liue or die I come nowe to a more particular consideration of this Union which wee haue with CHRIST in lyfe and death and in respect whereof wee are sayde heere to die in the LORD This Union is so strange and wonderfull that it can not bee sufficientlie expressed by anie one kynde of vnion and therefore the Spirit of GOD in the Scripture expresseth it by manie and those most diverse sortes of vnion or conjunction to wit by the vnion of conformitie telling vs that wee are praedestinated to bee conformed to the Image of the Son of God by the vnion of affectiō yea of most entire affection or friendship telling vs that wee are His Friendes Brethren and Spouse by the vnion of influence or reall operation telling vs that Hee is the Vine and wee are the Branches that Hee is the Head and we are His Members vvhereby is signified That as the roote of the Vine by reall influence doeth communicate lyfe nowrishment and growth vnto the branches and as the head by reall influence or operation doeth communicate sense and motion vnto the inferiour members and doeth direct them in their actions So CHRIST by the seret and most powerfull influence of His Spirit doeth communicate Spirituall lyfe sense motion and growth vnto the members of His mysticall bodie as also directeth them in their actions making them to walke circumspectlie and to worke out their salvation with feare and trembling And because thinges are vnited or joyned together two wayes by the vnion of influence to wit eyther so that they concurre together to make vp one totall or composed substance as for example The head and the members make vp one totall substance and so doe the roote and the branches vvhich sort of vnion is called a Formall Substantiall and Physicall vnion or else so that no totall or composed thing is made vp of them so the Load-stone and the yron which it draweth to it selfe are vnited together vvhich sort of vnion is called vnio effectiva an vnion of meere influence or efficiencie Therefore our conjunction with CHRIST is expressed in Scripture sometymes by a Formall and Physicall vnion as when Hee is called the Vine and we the Branches or when Hee is called the Head and wee the members of His bodie and sometymes by the vnion of meere inftuence as when Hee sayeth If I bee lifted vp from the earth I will drawe all men vnto Mee and Loe I am with you alwayes even vnto the ende of the worlde Nowe to apply all this to the present purpose The Godlie haue all these kyndes or sorts of vnion with CHRIST in death as well as in lyfe and therefore they are most justlie sayde to die in the LORD And first as for the Vnion of Conformitie although the Learned speaking of that conformitie vvith CHRIST vnto which wee are praedestinated doe onlie mention our Conformitie with Him in Grace and Glorie yet betwixt these two wee may verie well take in another part or degree of our conformitie with CHRIST to wit our Conformitie with Him in our death vvhich is the passage from Grace to Glorie For as wee resemble Him by an holie lyfe so also by an happie and victorious death This degree of conformitie which the Godlie haue with CHRIST is grounded chiefelie vpon three respectes For first as CHRIST died voluntarilie and by way of obedience to GOD His Fathers Commandement so the Godlie die humblie submitting themselues and all their desires vnto GOD'S will For although when that bitter Cuppe of deadlie sicknesse is presented to a Godlie man he sometymes say with CHRIST Father if it bee possible let this Cup passe from mee yet He ever doeth subjoyne this Neverthelesse not as I will but as Thou wilt Secondliie As CHRIST died to destroy the works of the Devil that is to take away our sinnes so the Godlie desire to die that they may bee fred from their sinnes and not offende GOD anie more saying with SAMPSON Let mee die with these my enemies Thirdlie as CHRIST died to
