then lie down and were it a thousand Years it would seem no more to us then it doth to God himself but as one daie It is Observable that the Holie Ghost which accounteth Natural Death as a Sleep yet calleth the Life of a Sinner by the name of Death To bee truly Dead is to bee Dead in Trespasses and Sins And therefore S. Paul not making mention of the Great Resurrection bid's his Corinthians awake to Righteousness and sin not For a Righteous man hath more Hope in his Death then a Sinner in his Life and no man can bee Dead to Nature that is Alive to God But if to Die bee but to fall Asleep wee should put off this Garment of Flesh with as good a will as wee do our Clothes And that wee may sleep well in the night wee should forbear sleeping in the Daie not Idleing in the Market as those in the Parable nor sitting down in the seat of the scornful but working out our salvation for the Sleep of a Laboring man is sweet And that wee may rest in these Beds in an undisturbed peace wee are to provide that no Innate Furies no Stings of Death like gross and restless Vapors do arise from a guiltie Conscience Such a man will bee scared with Dreams and terrified with Visions and bee full of tossings to and fro until the dawning of the the daie Job And becaus to the Conciliation of Rest and Sleep it is required that there bee a Moderate Repletion for Paulus Aegineta maketh this to bee of the Definition wee are by no means to go to bed till first of all wee have sate down to the Great Supper till wee have eaten of that Bread and drank of that Cup which shew the Lords Death but our Life till hee com and are therefore not unfitly termed by the Fathers of the Nicene Councel 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Sacraments and Emblems of the Resurrection This don wee may laie our selvs down in Peace and take our Rest for the Lord will make us to dwell in safetie And as the Disciples to our Saviour concerning Lazarus if thus wee sleep wee shall do well Of the first Consideration thus much Pass wee now from Death to Life from the end of our Daies to the end of our Hope Resurrection I Said that was twofold Frst of the first Fruits then of the whole Lump And first of the Resurrection of our Saviour but which I am not here to make Proof of for it is taken for granted in the Text. But if anie should bee so foolish and slow of heart as not to believ all that is written in the Prophets the Heathen Tacitus will tell you one Article in the 15 of his Annals That hee suffered under Pontius Pilate And the Jew Josephus addeth the other in the 18. of his Antiquities That hee rose again the third daie from the Dead That which most properly I am to make known to you is upon what Consideration our Saviour can bee called The First then by what Analogie The first Fruits The Patriarch Enoch was Translated and the Prophet Elias went up to Heaven in a fierie Chariot And the Assumption of Moses hath been disputed for by som though it should seem by the Contention betwix the Arch-Angel and the Divel about his bodie that there was no such matter Howsoever these all rather died not then rose again As for the Rising of Samuel to which the Cunning Woman of Endor pretended it was nothing less then a Resurrection 't was an Apparition And Saul should have said to the Woman as Hee to Her Why hast thou deceived mee for this is not Samuel Elisha indeed raised up the Shunamite's Son and our Saviour raised up his friend Lazarus after hee had been Dead four daies And yet still This was the first Resurrection The rest did not go before as the Scripture seemeth to saie but follow'd This. For as hee was a Lamb slain so was hee a Lamb Risen too from the begining of the World The rest were Raised Hee onely Rose from the Dead Elisha's dead Bones raised up Another Man's Our Saviour's dead Bones raised up themselvs They raised Others by His power Hee Himself by his own To saie therefore there was anie Resurrection before This is to saie that Abraham was before Christ The rest were all but second Brothers in the Resurrection Hee onely was Primogenitus Mortuorum the first begotten of the Dead Wee have seen in what sens our Saviour is to bee accounted the First I am now to tell you in what Proportion hee standeth to the First Fruits But then I am to lead you back to the Old Law of the Omer or Sheaf Levit. 23.9 Where the Children of Ifraël are commanded that at the reaping of their Harvest no Bread or Parched Corn or Green Ears bee eaten in their dwellings till a Sheaf of the Frst Fruits bee offered and Waved before the Lord together with a Lamb for a Burnt Offering The Traditions here and not unnecessarily supplie that those who lived far from the Holie Citie might eat of the New Corn when Mid-daie was past for that is was presumed the Sanhedrim would see the Sheaf offered up ere that time Thus the Letter and Cerimonie which how well it is answered in the Truth and Substance I shall briefly shew you The Typical Sheaf as the Doctors deliver in the Talmud was to bee cut down in the Night So was the True Codmenac Hee was cut down indeed in the Daie time but the Darkness was the greater for the verie Light of This Daie was Darkness and therefore how great was that A darkness that indeed might bee felt A darkness over the face of the whole Earth Such an one as in the Begining was over the face of the Deep before the Creator had said Let there bee Light And though the Scripture maketh mention but of Darkness till the Ninth hour yet most certain it is that That Daie had another Darkness about the Twelfth hour of Nature's own Provision For by the Astronomical Tables the Moon was at that time almost totally Eclipsed So truly were these First Fruits cut down in the Night The Typical Sheaf thus reaped down was carried into the Court-yard of the Sanctuarie threshed parched ground then lifted up and waved before the Lord So was the True The manner of the Jews Threshing was by the Treading of Oxen and Wheels indented with iron teeth And did not manie Buls compass Him about And was not Hee bruised for our Transgressions His Hands and his Feet were pierced and all his Bones were out of joint they had been broken too but for the Prophecie Hee was Parched for was not his strength dried up as a Pot-sheard Did not his Tongue cleav to the roof of his Mouth And was hee not brought down to the dust of Death You may hear him saie all this himself Psalm 22.
