his glory to scorne and crucifie him I feare to say it Gods spirit dare and doth They crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God and make a mocke of him To themselues not in himselfe that they cannot it is no thanke to them they would doe it See and consider the notoriously-sinfull conuersations of those that should be Christians offer violence vnto our glorified Sauiour they stretch their

light and his glory is more Oh beloued is it not enough that he died once for vs VVere those paines so light that wee should euery day redouble them Is this the entertainment that so gracious a Sauiour hath deserued of vs by dying Is this the recompence of that infinite loue of his that thou shouldest thus cruelly vexe and wound him with thy sinnes Euery of our sinnes is a thorne and nayle and speare to him while thou pourest down thy drunken carowses thou giuest thy Sauiour a potion of gall while thou despisest his poore seruants thou spittest on his face while thou puttest on thy

bloud of his hands feet Thou hypocrite how darest thou offer to receiue the Sacrament of GOD with that hand which is thus imbrued with the bloud of him whome thou receiuest In euery Ordinary thy prophane tong walkes in the disgrace of the religious and conscionable Thou makest no scruple of thine owne sins and scornest those that doe Not to be wicked is crime enough heare him that saith Saul Saul why persecutest thou me Saul strikes at Damascus Christ suffers in heauen Thou strikest Christ Iesus smarteth and will reuenge These are the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 afterings of Christs sufferings in himselfe it is finished in his members it is not till the world be finished We must toile grone and bleed that we may raigne if he had not done so Jt had not beene finished This is our warfare this is the region of our sorow and death Now are we set vpon the sandie pauement of our Theater and are matched with all sortes of euills euill men euill spirits euill accidents and which are worst our owne euill heartes tentations crosses persecutions siknesses wants infamies death all these must in our courses be incountered by the law of our profession What should we doe but striue suffer as our Generall hath done that we may raigne as he doth and once triumph in our Consummatum est God and his Angells sit vpon the Scaffolds of heauen and behold vs our Crowne is ready our day of deliuerance shall come yea our redemption is neare when all teares shall be wipt from our eyes and we that haue sowne in teares shall reape in ioy In the mean time let vs possesse our soules not in patience onely but in comfort let vs adore and magnifie our Sauiour in his sufferings and imitate him in our owne our sorrowes shall haue an end our ioyes shall not our paines shall soone bee finished our glory shall bee finished but neuer ended Thus his sufferinges are finished now together with them Mans saluation Who knowes not that man had made himselfe a deepe debter a bankrupt an out-law to GOD Our sinnes are our debts by sinnes death Now in this word and act our sinnes are discharged death endured therefore we cleared the debt is paid the score is crossed the Creditor satisfied the Debters acquitted and since there was no other quarrell saued we are all sicke and that mortally Sinne is the disease of the soule Quot vitia â—â—t febres saith Chrysostome so many sinnes so many Feauers and those pestilent What wonder is it that wee haue so much plague while wee haue so much sinne Our Sauiour is the Physitian The whole need not the Physitian but the sicke wherein Hee healeth all our infirmities he healeth them after a miraculous manner not by giuing vs receites but by taking our receites for vs. A wonderfull Physition a wonder full course of cure One while he would cure vs by abstinence our superfluity by his forty dayes emptinesse according to that old Rule Hunger cures the diseases of Gluttony Another while by Exercise Hee went vpp and downe from Citie to Citie and in the day was preaching in the Temple in the night praying in the Mount Then by dyet Take eate this is my body and Let this cuppe passe After that yet by sweat such a sweate as neuer was a bloudy one yet more by incision they pearced his hands feet side and yet againe by potion a bitter potion of vineger and gall And lastly which is both the strangest and strongest receit of all by dying Which dyed for vs that whether we wake or sleepe wee should liue together with him We need no more we can go no further there can bee no more physicke of this kind there are cordials after these of his Resurrection and Ascension no more penall receites By this bloud we haue redemption Ephes 1.7 Iustification Rom. 3.24 Reconciliation Colos 1 20. Sanctification 1.

not finished Two qualities striue for the first place in these two opinions Impietie and absurdity I know not whither to prefer For impietie here is GOD taxed of iniustice vnmercifulnesse insufficiencie falshood Of iniustice that he forgiues a sinne and yet punishes for that which he hath forgiuen vnmercifulnesse that hee forgiues not while he forgiues but dooth it by halfes insufficiencie that his raunsome must bee supplyed by men Falshood in that hee sayth It is finished when it is not For Absurdity how grosse and monstrous are these Positions that at once the same sinne should bee remitted and retained that there should bee a punishment where there is no fault that what could strike off our eternall punishment did not wipe off the temporall that hee which paid our pounds sticks at our farthings that God will retain what man may discharge that it is and is not finished If there bee any opinions whose mention confutes them these are they None can be more vaine none had more neede of soliditie for this proppe beares vppe alone the weight of all those millions of Indulgences which Rome creates and selles to the worlde That Strumpet would well neere goe naked if this were not These spirituall Treasures fetch in the Temporall which yet our reuerend and learned Fulke iustly cals a most blasphemous beggerly principle it bringes in whole chests yea mines of gold like the Popes Indies and hath not so much as a ragge of proofe to couer it whether of Antiquity of Reason of Scripture Not of Antiquity for these Iubilie Proclamations beganne but about three hundred yeares agoe Not of Reason how should one meere man pay for another dispense with another to another by another Not of Scripture which hath flatly said The bloud of Iesus Christ his sonne purgeth vs from all sinne and yet I remember that acute Sadeel hath taught mee that this practise is according to Scripture what Scripture Hee cast the money-changers out of the Temple and said Yee haue made my house a denne of thieues VVhich also Joachim their propheticall Abbot well applies to this purpose Some modest Doctors of Louan would faine haue minced this Antichristian blasphemie who beganne to teach that the passions of the Saints are not so by Indulgences applyed that they become true satisfactions but that they onely serue to moue God by the sight of them to apply vnto vs Christes satisfaction But these meal-mouthed Diuines were soon charmed foure seuerall Popes as their Cardinall confesseth fell vpon the necke of them and their opinion Leo the tenth Pius the fift Gregorie the thirteenth and Clemens the sixt and with their furious Bulles bellow out threates against them and tosse them in the ayre for hereticks and teach them vpon paine of a Curse to speake home with Bellarmine Passionibus sanctorum expiari delicta and straight Applicari nobis sanctorum passiones ad redimendas poenas quas pro peccatis Deo de bemus that by the sufferinges of Saintes our sinnes are expiated and that by them applyed wee are redeemed from those punishmentes which wee yet owe to God Blasphemy worthy the tearing of garments how is it finished by Christ if men must supply Oh blessed Sauiour was euery drop of thy bloud enough to redeeme a world and doe we yet need the helpe of men How art thou a perfect Sauiour if our Brethren also must be our redeemers Oh ye blessed Saints how would you abhorre this sacrilegious glory and with those holie Apostles yea that glorious Angell say Vide ne feceris and with those wise Virgins lest there will not bee enough for vs and you goe to them that sell and buy for your selues For vs we enuie not their multitude Let them haue as many Sauiours as Saintes and as many Saintes as men wee know with Ambrose Christi passio adiutore non eguit Christs passion needes no helper and therefore with that worthy Martyr dare say None but Christ none but Christ Let our soules die if he cannot saue them let them not feare their death or torment if he haue finished Heare this thou languishing and afflicted soule There is not one of thy sinnes but it is paid for not one of thy debtes in the sâ—roll of God but it is crossed not one farthing of all thine infinite ransome is vnpaide Alas thy prosperitie of fooles destroyeth them yea the confidence of prosperity Thou sayest God is mercifull thy Sauiour bounteous his passion absolute All these and yet thou mayest bee condemned Mercifull not vniust bountifull not lauish absolutely sufficient for all not effectuall to all Whatsoeuer God is what art thou Here is the doubt thou sayest well Christ is the good Shepheard wherein Hee giues his life but for whome for his sheepe What is this to thee while thou art secure prophane impenitent thou art a VVolfe or a Goate My sheepe heare my voyce what is his voyce but his preceptes where is thine obedience to his commandements If thou wilt not heare his law neuer hearken to his gospel here is no more mercy for thee then if there were no Sauiour He hath finished for those in whome hee hath begunne If thou haue no beginnings of grace as yet hope not for euer finishing of saluation Come to me all yee that are heauie laden saith Christ thou shalt get nothing if thou come when he calls thee not Thou art not called and canst not be refreshed vnlesse thou be laden not with sin this alone keepes thee away from God but with conscience of sinne A broken and a contrite heart O God thou wilt not despise Is thy heart wounded with thy sin doth griefe hatred striue within thee whether shal be more are the desires of thy soule with God doest thou long for holines complaine of thy imperfections struggle against thy corruptions Thou art the man feare not It is finished that law which thou wouldest haue kept and couldest not thy Sauiour could and did keepe for thee that saluation which thou couldest neuer worke out alone alas poor impotent creatures what can we doe towardes heauen without him which cannot moue on earth but in him hee alone for thee hath finished Looke vp therefore boldly to the throne of GOD and vpon the truth of thy repentance and faith know that there is no quarrell against thee in heauen nothing but peace and ioy All is finished he would be spitted on that hee might wash thee hee would bee couered with scornefull robes that thy sinnes might be couered he would be whipped that thy soule might not be scourged eternally he would thirst that thy soule might be satisfied he would beare all his Fathers wrath that thou mightest beare none hee would yeelde to death that thou mightest neuer taste of it he would be in sense for a time as forsaken of his father that thou mightest be receiued for euer Now bid thy Soule returne to her rest and enioyne it Dauids taske Prayse the Lord O my soule and What
life a subiect of death And yet it was not a dying but a giuing vp not of a vanishing aerie breath but of a spirituall soule which after separation hath an entire life in it selfe He gaue vpp the Ghost he died that hath both ouercome and sanctified and sweetned death What fearest thou hee hath puld out the sting and malignity of death If thou bee a Christian carry it in thy bosome it hurts thee not Darest thou not trust thy Redeemer If hee had not dyed death had beene a Tyrant now hee is a slaue O Death where is thy sting O Graue where is thy victory Yet the Spirite of God saith not he dyed but gaue vpp the Ghost The verie Heathen Poet saith Hee durst not say that a good man dies It is worth the noting mee thinkes that when Saint Luke would describe to vs the death of Ananias and Sapphira he sayeth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hee expired but when Saint Iohn would describe Christs death hee saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hee gaue vp the Ghost how how gaue hee it vpp and whither so as after a sort hee retained it his soule parted from his body his Godhead was neuer distracted eyther from soule or body this vnion is not in nature but in person If the natures of Christ could be diuided each would haue his subsistence so there should be more persons God forbid one of the natures therefore may haue a separation in it selfe the soule from the body one nature cannot be separate from other or eyther nature from the person If you cannot conceiue wonder the Sonne of GOD hath wedded vnto himselfe our humanity without all possibility of diuorce the body hangs on the Crosse the soule is yeelded the Godhead is euiternally vnited to them both acknowledges sustaines them both The soule in his agonie feeles not the presence of the God head the body vpon the Crosse feeles not the presence of the soule Yet as the Fathers of Chalcedon say truely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 indiuisibly inseparably is the Godhead with both of these still and euer one and the same person The Passion of Christ as Augustine was the sleepe of his Diuinity so I may say The death of Christ was the sleepe of his humanity If hee sleepe he shall doe well said that Disciple of Lazarus Death was too weake to dissolue the eternall bonds of this heauenly coniunction Let not vs Christians go too much by sense wee may be firmely knit to God not feele it thou canst not hope to be so neare to thy God as Christ was vnited personally thou canst not feare that God should seeme more absent from thee then hee did from his owne Sonne yet was hee still one with both body and soule when they were diuided from themselues whē he was absent to sense he was present to faith when absent in vision yet in vnion one and the same so will hee be to thy soule when it is at worst Hee is thine and thou art his if thy hold seeme loosened his is not When temptations will not let thee see him hee sees thee and possesses thee only belieue thou against sense aboue hope though he kill thee yet trust in him Whither gaue hee it vp Himselfe expresses Father into thy handes and This day thou shalt bee with mee in Paradise It is iustice to restore whence wee receiue Into thy hands He knew where it should be both safe happie true hee might bee bold thou saist as the Sonne with the father The seruants haue done so Dauid before him Steuen after him And least wee should not thinke it our common right Father sayth hee I will that those thou hast giuen me may be with me euen where I am hee willes it therefore it must bee It is not presumption but faith to charge God with thy spirite neither can there euer bee any belieuing soule so meane that hee should refuse it all the feare is in thy selfe how canst thou trust thy iewell with a stranger What sodaine familiarity is this God hath beene with thee and gone by thee thou hast not saluted him and now in all the hast thou bequeathest thy soule to him On what acquaintance how desperate is this carelesnesse If thou haue but a little money whither thou keepe it thou layest it vp in the Temple of trust or whether thou let it thou art sure of good assurance sound bonds if but a litle land how carefully dost thou make firme conueyances to thy desired heires If goods thy will hath taken secure order who shall enioy them wee need not teach you Citizēs to make sure worke for your estates if Children thou disposest of them in trades with portions onely of thy soule which is thy self thou knowest not what shall become The world must haue it no more thy selfe wouldst keepe it but thou knowest thou canst not Sathan would haue it and thou knowest not whether hee shall thou wouldest haue God haue it and thou knowest not whether hee will yea thy heart is now ready with Pharaoh to say Who is the Lord O the fearefull and miserable estate of that man that must part with his soule hee knowes not whither which if thou wouldest auoide as this very warning shall iudge thee if thou doe not be acquainted with GOD in thy life that thou mayest make him the Gardian of thy soule in thy death Giuen vp it must needs be but to him that hath gouerned it if thou haue giuen it to Sathan in thy life how canst thou hope God will in thy death entertaine it Did you not hate mee and expell me out of my fathers house how then come yee to me now in this time of your tribulation said Ieptha to the men of Gilead No no eyther giue vp thy soule to God while hee calls for it in his word in the prouocations of his loue in his afflictions in the holy motions of his spirit to thine or else when thou wouldest giue it hee will none of it but as a Iudge to deliuer it to the Tormentor What should God doe with an vncleane drunken prophane proud couetous soule without holinesse it is no seeing of God Depart from me yee wicked I know yee not goe to the gods you haue serued See how God is euen with men they had in the time of the Gospell saide to the holy one of Israel Depart from vs now in the time of iudgement hee sayth to them Depart from me They would not know God when they might now God will not know them when they would Now therefore beloued if thou wouldest not haue God scorne the offer of thy death-bed fit thy soule for him in thy health furnish it with grace inure it to a sweet conuersation with the God of heauen then mayest thou boldly giue it vpp and he shall as graciously receiue it yea fetch it by his Angels to his glory· He gaue vp the Ghost
