as God offers him The terms upon which God in the Gospel offers Christ are that we shall accept of a broken Christ with a broken heart and yet a whole Christ with the whole heart A Broken Christ with a broken heart as a witness of our humility a whole Christ with the whole heart as a witness of our sincerity A broken Christ respects his suffering for sin a broken heart respects our sence of sin A whole Christ includes all his Offices a whole heart includes all our faculties Christ is King Priest and Prophet and all as Mediator without any one of these Offices the work of salvation could not have been compleated As a Priest he redeems us as a Prophet he instructs us as a King he sanctifies and saves us Therefore the Apostle says He is made to us of God wisdom 1 Cor. 1.30 righteousness sanctification and redemption Righteousness and Redemption flow from him as a Priest Wisdom as a Prophet Sanctification as a King Lu 19.27 Now many imbrace Christ as a Priest but yet they own him not as a King and Prophet they like to share in his righteousness but not to partake of his holiness they would be redeemed by him but they would not submit to him They would be saved by his blood but not submit to his power Many love the priviledges of the Gospel spel but not the duties of the Gospel Now these are but almost Christians notwithstanding their close with Christ for it is upon their own terms but not upon Gods The Offices of Christ may be distinguished but they can never be divided Ioh. 20.28 But the true Christian owns Christ in all his Offices he doth not only close with him as Jesus but as Lord Jesus he says with Thomas my Lord and my God He doth not onely beleive in the merit of his death but also conforms to the manner of his life as he beleives in him so he lives to him he takes him for his wisdom as well as for his righteousness for his Sanctification as well as his redemption 2. The altogether Christian hath a through work of Grace and Sanctification wrought in the heart as a spring of duties Regeration is a whole change 2 Cor 5.17 all old things are done away and all things become new It is a perfect work as to parts though not as to degrees Carnal men do duties but they are from an unsanctified heart and that spoils all A new peice of cloth never doth well in an old garment for the rent is but made worse Mat. 9.16 When a mans heart is throughly renewed by grace the mind savingly inlightned the conscience throughly convinced the will truly humbled and subdued the affections spiritually raised and sanctified And when Mind and Will and Conscience and Affection all joyn issue to help on with the performance of the duties commanded then is a man altogether a Christian 3. He that is altogether a Christian looks to the manner as well as to the matter of his duties not onely that they be done but how they be done He knows the Christians priviledges lies in Pronounes but his duty in Adverbs it must not be onely bonum good but it must be benè that good must be right done Iam 5.16 Here the almost Christian fails he doth the same duties that others do for the matter but he doth them not in the same manner while he minds the substance he regards not the circumstance If he pray he regards not faith and fervency in prayer if he hear he doth not mind Christs rule Take heed how ye hear Luk. 8.18 if he obeys he looks not to the frame of his heart in obeying Ro. 6 7. and therefore miscarries in all he doth bonum oritur ex integra causa malum ex quolibet defectu any of these dedefects spoil the good of every duty 4. The altogether Christian is known by his sincerity in all his performances whatever a man does in the duties of the Gospel he cannot be a Christian without sincerity Now the almost Christian fails in this for though he doth much prays much hears much obeys much yet he is an Hypocrite under all 5. He thai is altogether a Christian hath an answerableness within to the law without There is a connatural ness between the Word of God and the Will of a Christian his heart is as it were the transcript of the Law the same holiness that is commanded in the Word is implanted in his heart the same conformity to Christ that is enjoyned by the Word of God is wrought in the soul by the Spirit of God the same obedience which the Word requireth of him the Lord inableth to perform by his grace bestowed on him This is that which is promised in the New Covenant Heb. 9.10 10.16 I will put my Law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts Jer. 31.33 Now the writing his Law in us is nothing else but his working that grace and holiness in us which the Law commandeth and requireth of us Psa 40.8 2 Cor. 3.3 In the old Covenant Administration God wrote his laws onely upon tables of stone but not upon the heart and therefore though God wrote them yet they broke them but in the new Covenant Administration God provides new tables not tables of stone but the fleshly tables of the heart and writes his Laws there that there might be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a law within answerable to the law without and this every true Christian hath so that he may say in his measure as our Lord Christ did I delight to do thy will O my God thy law is within my heart every beleiver hath a light within him not guiding him to dispise and slight but to prize and walk by the light without him the word commands him to walk in the light and the light directs him to walk according to the word Ioh. 1.16 Moreover from this impression of the law upon the heart obedience and conformity to God becomes the choice and delight of the soul for holiness is the very nature of the new creature so that if there were no Scripture no Bible to guide him yet he would be holy for he hath received grace for grace there is a work of grace within to answer to the word of grace without Now the almost Christian is a stranger to this Law of God within he may have some conformity to the word in outward conversation but he cannot have this answerableness to the word in inward constitution 6. The altogether Christian is much in duty and yet much above duty much in duty in regard of performance much above duty in regard of dependance much in duty by obeying but much above duty by beleeving He lives in his obedience but he doth not live upon his obedience but upon Christ and his righteousness Psal 119 166. The almost Christian fails in this he is
the midst of laughter the heart is sorrowful Prov. 14.13 but now the comfort that flows from godliness is an inward comfort a spiritual joy therefore it is called gladness of heart Psal 4.7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart Other joy smooths the brow but this fils the brest 2. Worldly comfort hath a nether spring the spring of worldly comfort is in the creature in some earthly injoyment and therefore the comfort of worldly men must needs be mixed and muddy Iam. 3.11 an unclean fountain cannot send forth pure water But spiritual comfort hath an upper spring the comfort that accompanies godliness flows from the manifestations of the Love of God in Christ from the workings of the blessed Spirit in the heart which is first a Counsellour and then a Comforter And therefore the comforts of the Saints must needs be pure and unmixed comforts for they flow from a pure Spring 3. Worldly comfort is very fading and transitory Iob. 20.5 The triumphing of the wicked is short and the joy of the Hypocrite is but for a moment Salomon compares it to the crackling of Thornes under a pot Eccles 7.6 which is but a blaze and soon out so is the comfort of carnal hearts But now the comfort of godliness is a durable and abiding comfort your heart shall rejoyce Io. 16.22 and your joy no man shall take from you The comfort of godliness is lasting and everlasting it abides by us In life In death After death Isa 32.17 Phili. 1.2 Colos 12. First It abides by us in life grace and peace go together godliness brings forth comfort and peace naturally the effect of righteousness shall be peace it is said of the primitive Christians they walked in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost Acts 9.31 every duty done in uprightness and sincerity reflects some comfort upon the soul Psa 19.11 In keeping the Commands there is great reward not onely for keeping of them but in keeping of them as every flower so every duty carries sweetness and refreshing with it But who more dejected and disconsolate the Saints and beleivers whose lives are more uncomfortable whose mouths are more filled with complaints then theirs if a condition of godliness and Christianity be a condition of so much comfort then why are they thus Isa 50.10 Sol. That the people of God are often times without comfort that I grant they may walk in the dark and have no light but this is none of the product of godliness grace brings forth no such fruit as this there is a threefold rise and spring of it Sin within Desertion without Temptation without 1. Sin within the Saints of God are not all Spirit and no flesh all grace and no sin they are made up of contrary principles there is light and darkness in the same mind sin and grace in the same will carnal and spiritual in the same affections Gal. 5.17 there is the flesh lusting against the spirit in all these and too often the Lord knows is the beleiver led away captive by these warring lusts Ro. 7.23 so was the holy Apostle himself I find then a Law that when I would do good evil is present with me Rom. 7.21 and v. 23. I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin and this was that which broke his spiritual peace and filled his soul with trouble and complaints as you see in the 24. v. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death So that it is sin that interrupts the peace of Gods people indwelling lust stirring and breaking forth must needs cause trouble and grief in the soul of a beleiver for it is as natural for sin to bring fotth trouble as it is for grace to bring forth peace every sin contracts a new guilt upon the soul and guilt provokes God and where there is a sense of guilt contracted and God provoked there can be no peace no quiet in that soul till faith procures fresh sprinklings of the blood of Jesus Christ upon the Conscience 2. Another Spring of the beleivers trouble and disconsolateness of spirit is the desertions of God and this follows upon the former God doth sometimes disappear and hide himself from his people verily thou art a God that hidest thy self Psa 13.1 Isa 45.15 But the cause of Gods hiding is the beleivers sinning your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid his face from you Isa 59.2 In Heaven where there is no sinning there is no losing the light of Gods countenance for a moment and if Saints here could serve God without corruption they should injoy God without desertion but this cannot be while we are in this state remaining lusts will stir and break forth and then God will hide his face and this must needs be trouble thou didst hide thy face and I was troubled Ps 30.7 Psa 116.3 The light of Gods countenance shining upon the soul is the Christians Heaven on this side Heaven and therefore it is no wonder if the hiding of his face be looked upon by the soul as one of the dayes of Hell so it was by David The sorrows of death compassed me the pains of Hell gate hold upon me I found trouble and sorrow 3. A third spring of that trouble and complaint that brims the banks of the Christians spirit is the temptaions of Satan Mat. 13.39 he is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the great enemy of Saints and he envieth the quiet and comfort that their hearts are filled with when his conscience is brimmed with horrour and terrour and therefore though he knows he cannot destroy their grace yet he labours to disturb their peace As the blessed Spirit of God is first a Sanctifier and then a comforter working grace in order and peace so this cursed Spirit of Hell is first a Tempter and then a Troubler first perswading to act sin and then accusing for sin and this is his constant practise upon the Spirits of Gods people he cannot indure that they should live in the light of Gods countenance when himself is doomed to an eternal intolerable darkness And thus you see whence it is that the people of God are often under trouble and complaint all arises from these three springs of Sin within Desertions without Temptations without If the Saints could serve God without sinning and injoy God without withdrawing and resist Satan without yeilding they might injoy peace and comfort without sorrowing this must be indeavoured constantly here but it will never be attained fully but in Heaven But yet so far as grace is the prevailing principle in the heart and so far as the power of godliness is exercised in the life so far the condition of a Child of God is a condition of peace for it is an undoubted
truth that the fruit of righteousness shall be peace But suppose the people of God experience little of this comfort in life yet 2. They find it in the day of death grace and holiness will Minister unto us then and that ministration will be peace A beleiver hath a twofold spring of comfort each one emptying it self into his soul in a dying season ' one is from above him the other is from within him the spring that runs comfort from above him is the blood of Christ sprinkled upon the conscience the spring that runs comfort from within him is the sincerity of his heart in Gods service When we lye upon a death-bead and can reflect upon our principles and performances in the service of God and there find uprightness and sincerity of heart running through all this must needs be comfort it was so to Hezekiah Remember O Lord how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in thy sight Isa 38.3 Nothing maketh a Death-bed so uneasie and hard as a life spent in the service of sin and lust nothing makes a Death-bed so soft and sweet as a life spent in the service of God and Christ Or put the case the people of God should not meet with this comfort then yet 3. They shall be sure to find it after Death if time bring none of this fruit to ripeness why yet eternity shall grace in time will be glory in eternity holiness now will be happiness then what ever it is that a man soweth in this World that he shall be sure to reap in the next World He that soweth to the flesh Gal. 6.7 shall of the flesh reap corruption Gal. 6.8 but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting Ro. 6.23 When sin shall end in sorrow and misery holiness shall end in joy and glory well done thou good and faithful servant enter thou into the joy of thy Lord Mat. 25.23 Whoever shareth in the grace of Christ and conformeth to the life of Christ in this World shall share in the joys of Christ in the World to come 1 Pet. 1.8 and that joy is joy unspeakable and full of glory Lo here is the fruit of godliness say now if there be not enough in Religion whether we respect profit or comfort to ingage us to be Christians throughout 4. What an intire resignation wicked men make of themselves to their lusts Consid 4 and shall not we do so to the Lord Christ they give up themselves without reserve to the pleasures of sin and shall we have our reserves in the service of God they are altogether sinners and shall not we be altogether Saints they run and not faint in the service of their lusts and shall we faint and not run in the service of Christ shall the sevants of corruption have their ears boared Exo. 21.6 at the Door-posts of sin in token of an intire and perpetual service and shall not we give up our selves to the Lord Christ to be his for ever Isa 28.15 shall others make a Covenant with Hell and death Ier. 50.5 and shall not we joyn our selves to God in an everlasting Covenant that cannot be forgotten Acrius illi ad perniciem quam nos ad salutem shall they take more pains to damn their souls then we do to save ours and make more speed to a place of vengeance then we do to a crown of righteousness 2 Tim. 4 8 Which do you judge best to be saved everlastingly or to perish everlastingly which do you count the best Master God or the Devil Christ or your lusts I know you will determine it on Christs side Oh then when others serve their lusts with all their hearts do you serve Christ with all your hearts Eccle. 8.5 Ier. 3.5 if the hearts of the Sons of men be fully set in them to do evil then much more let the hearts of the sons of God be fully set in them to do good 5. If ye are not altogether Christians Consid 5 ye will never be able to appear with comfort before God not to stand in judgement of the last and great day for this sad dilemma will silence every Hypocrite If my Commands were not holy just and good why didst thou own them if they were holy just and good why didst thou not obey them If Jesus Christ was not worth the having why didst thou profess him if he was then why didst thou not cleave to him and close with him If my Ordinances were not appointed to convert and save souls why didst thou sit under them and rest in the performance of them or if they were then why didst thou not submit to the power of them If Religion be not good why dost thou profess it if it be good why dost thou not practise it Friend how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment Mat. 22.12 If it was not a Wedding feast why didst thou come at the invitation and if it was then why didst thou come without a wedding garment Mat. 11.22 I would but ask an Hypocritical professour of the Gospel what he will answer in that day Verily you deprive your selves of all possibility of Apology in the day of the righteous judgment of God it is said of this man that had no Wedding garment on that when Christ came and examined him he was speechless he that is graceless in a day of grace will be speechless in a day of judgment professing Christ without a heart to close with Christ will leave our souls inexcusable and make our damnation unavoidable and more intolerable These are the motives to inforce the duty and oh that God would set them home upon your hearts and consciences that you might not dare to rest a moment longer in a half work or in being Christians within a little but that you might be altogether Christians Quere But you will say possibly how shall I do what means shall I use that I may attain to a through work in my heart that I may be no longer almost but altogether a Christian Now I shall lay down three rules of directions instead of many to further and help you in this important duty and so leave this work to Gods blessing First Break off all false peace of conscience Direct 1 this is the Devils bond to hold the soul from seeking after Christ As there is the peace of God so there is the peace of Satan but they are easily known for they are as contrary as Heaven and Hell as light and darkness The peace of God flows from a work of grace in the soul and is the peace of a regenerate state but the peace of Satan is the peace of an unregenerate state it is the peace of Death in the grave Job saith their is peace Iob. 3.17 there the wicked cease from troubling so a
for the good of our own souls that they may be saved for whoever be bettered by our gifts yet we shall miscarry without grace 3. A man may have a high profession of Religion be much in externall duties of godliness and yet be but almost a Christian Mark what our Lord Christ tells them in Mat. 7.21 Not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven that is not every one that makes a profession of Christ shall therefore be owned for a true Disciple of Christ Rom. 9 6 All are not Israel that are of Israel nor are all Christians that make a profession of Religion What a goodly profession had Judas he followed Christ left all for Christ he Preached the Gospel of Christ he cast out Devils in the name of Christ he eat and dranck at the Table of Christ and yet Judas was but a Hypocrite Most professors are like Lillies fair in shew but foul in sent or like Pepper hot in the mouth but cold in the stomack The finest lace may be upon the coursest cloth It is a great deceit to measure the substance of our Religion by the bulk of our profession and to judge of the strength of our graces by the length of our duties The Scriptures speak of some who having a forme of godliness yet deny the power thereof Deny the power 2 Tim. 3.5 that is they don't live in the practise of those graces which they pretend to in their duties he that pretends to godliness by a specious profession and yet doth not practice godliness by a Holy conversation he hath a forme but denies the power Loquitur hic ut piso vivit ut Gallonius Hugo compares such to the Ostrich qui alas habet sed non volat which hath great wings but yet flies not many have the wings of a fair profession but yet use them not to mount upward in spiritual affections and a Heavenly conversation But to clear the truth of this that a man may make a high profession of Religion and yet be but almost a Christian take a four fold evidence 1. If a man may profess Religion and yet never have his heart changed nor his state better'd then he may be a great professor and yet be but almost a Christian But a man may profess Religion and yet never have his heart changed nor his state renewed He may be a constant hearer of the word and yet be a sinner still he may come often to the Lords Table and yet go away a sinner as he came we must not think that duties ex opere operato can confer grace Many a soul hath been converted by Christ in an Ordinance but never was any soul converted by an Ordinance without Christ 1 Cor. 20 16. And doth Christ convert all that sit under the ordinances surely no for to some the word is a savour of death unto death And if so then it is plain that a man may profess Religion and yet be but almost a Christian 2. A man may profess Religion and live in a forme of godliness in Hypocrisie Isaiah 48. 1. Hear ye this O House of Jacob which are called by the name of Israel and are come forth out of the waters of Judah which sware by the name of the Lord and make mention of the God of Israel but not in truth nor in righteousness what do ye think of these they make mention of the Name of the Lord there is their profession but not in truth nor in righteousness there is their dissimulation and indeed their could be no hypocrisie in a Religious sence were it not for a profession of Religion for he that is wicked and carnal and vile inwardly and appears to be so outwardly he is no Hypocrite but is what he appears and appears what he is Hypocrita cupit videri justus But he that is one thing really and another thing seemingly is carnal and unholy and yet seems to be good and holy he is an hypocrite Tollet instit Sacerd. l. 8. c. 9. Thus the Casuists define hypocrisie to be simulatio sanctitatis a counterfeiting of Holiness and this fits exactly with the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to counterfeit And to this purpose the Hebrews have too words for Hypocrites panim which signisies facies 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from the root 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Chanephim which signifies counterfeits from chanaph to dissemble so that he is an hypocrite that dissembles Religion and weareth the face of holiness and yet is without the grace of holiness he appears to be in semblance what he is not in substance he wears a forme of godliness without onely as a cover of a prophane heart within He hath a profession that he may not be thought wicked but it is but a profession and therefore he is wicked He is the religious Hypocrite religious because he pretends to it and yet a Hypocrite because he doth but pretend to it he is like many men in a Consumption that have fresh looks and yet rotten Lungs or like an apple that hath a skin fair but a rotten coar many appear righteous who are onely righteous in appearance And if so then a man may profess Religion and yet be but almost a Christian 3. Custome and fashion may create a man a professor as you have many that wear this or that garb not because it keeps them warmer or hath any excellency in it more then another but meerly for fashion Many must have powdered hair spotted faces feathers in their Caps c. for no other end but because they would be fools in fashion So many profess christianity not because the means of grace warms the heart or that they see any excellency in the ways of God above the world but meerly to follow the fashion I wish I might not say it hath been true of our days because Religion hath been uppermost therefore many have professed it it hath been the gaining trade and then most would be of that trade Religion in credit makes many professors but few proselites but when religion suffers then its confessors are no more then its converts for custome makes the former but conscience the latter He that is a Professor of Religion meerly for custome sake when it prospers will never be a Martyr for Christs sake when Religion suffers He that owns the truth to live upon that will disown it when it comes to live upon him They say that when a house is decaying and falling all the Rats and Mice will forsake it while the house is firme and they may shelter in the rooff they 'l stay but no longer lest in the decay the fall should be upon them and they that lived at top should lye at bottome My brethren may I not say we have many that are the vermine the Rats and Mice of Religion that would live under the roof of it
