Iudg. 9.14 But this hath been an olde ouersight in the most assemblies that they forget that maxime or speciall principle giuen by almightie God Whom the Lord shall choose him thou shalt make gouernor None are ignorant that the iudgement seate was Moses seate who haue read or heard that saying of our Sauiour Christ Matth. The Scribes and the Pharisies sit in Moses seate c. Moses was a man that would both say and doe well and therefore was called faithfull in all Gods house But as the Scribes that would say what they must but do what they list succeeded Moses in the seate of Magistracie Matth. 24.15 so wicked men like that abomination of desolation do sit where they ought not and this is that vnseemly sight that Salomon saw some times Eccle. 10.7 VVhen seruants were set on horsebacke and Magistrates made to goe on foote When Christ was gloriously vpon Mount Thabor it is witnessed that his very rayment was as white as the light Matth. 17.2 which sheweth that there is an intent in causing your Magistrates to differ from other men in the excellencie of his very garment for as hee offendeth in life by his euill example so he spotteth his garment that is scarlet or purple and then Esay telleth him Esay 1.18 Sir your sinnes are as red as scarlet And Ezra his messengers spake plainly The hande of the Ruler is chiefe in this trespasse Ezra 9.2 These men are more vnmeet to rule then Zedechias 2. King 25.7 that had his eyes put out for they will not see and Adony Bezecke 1. Iud. 6. that had his fingers cut off for they may but will not gird thē with their sword vpon the thigh Psal 45.4 And therefore Salomon complaineth grieuously Eccle. 3.16 I haue seene wickednes in the place of iudgement and iniquitie in the place of equitie That euery one may receiue the things that are done in his bodie c. BY euery one is ment that none can escape Matth 22 11. no more thē that guest at the Wedding could bee vnspied when the house was full so that no man may sooth vp himselfe to passe for as the King came in to see the guests so he came to iudge them to And as Peter sayd Acts 10.35 All that worke righteousnes are accepted with God so all that worke vnrighteousnesse are reiected from God and because euery one shall bee iudged therefore Paul maketh priuate application of his exhortation and saith 1. Cor. 11.28 Let a man examine himselfe Like as in the riddle that Christ propounded Matth. 29.21 I tell you that one of you shall betray me euery man fell into examination of himselfe Master is it I 22. Eleuen of them could not expound it and the twelfth would not So they that will not reprooue themselues now must looke to be reproued another day to their shame Would not a man bee ashamed to haue his faults written in his forehead Saint Iohn saw a book open and that was the consciences of all men Apoc. 20.22 wherein our selues shall as plaine remember our faults as if they were layd down in writing before vs. Then that prophesie is fulfilled Psal 50.24 I will reproue thee and set before thee the things which thou hast done These words euery one doe include the shortnes of the iudgement day for as the little clowde that Elias his seruaunt sawe vpon Mount Carmell though it were but of the bignes of a hande contained much raine in it 1. King 18.44 as the little penny contained the Princes picture Matth. 22.19 And as Dauids little stone that carried great Goliaths present death in it 1. Sam. 17.50 And as the lightning comming from the East Matth. 24.27 is immediatly in the West so shall a short time and a few words comprehend a great and swift iudgment Rom. 9.28 Therefore sayd Paul A short word shall the Lord make vpon earth For why should GOD dispute with men Iob. 9.2 that cannot answere one thing of a thousand sayth Iob. May receiue the things that are done in his bodie Seeing our bodie must receiue the things that it hath done that is Matth. 22.13 This bodie that we now carrie That was but a seducing doctrine of the Sadduces who affirmed that there is no resurrection of the dead for as Paul sayth 2. Cor. 15.19 If our hope endeth with our life wee were most miserable of all men This was the opinion of such as grounding vpon reason were outreached by faith for where reason endeth there faith beginneth Therefore sayth Paul By faith wee vnderstand that the world was made by the worde of God and that the things which are Heb. 11.3 were not made of things which did appeare Now if we turne faith into reason or rather if wee doe reason in faith we shall finde the trueth of this doctrine confirmed by reason and common sence for if wee beleeue that God created man of nothing which the Scripture calleth creation then must we much more beleeue that he can raise man vp againe when hee is some thing that created him of nothing Gen. 1.1 But if any Saduce will say that he denieth not a resurrection of Gods people in respect of any want of Gods power but thinking it needeles because the badde goe imediatlie in soule to hell and good soules to God that gaue them I answer that it is as requisit that there be a resurrection as that there should bee a God otherwise the bodie and soule should neuer meete and bee ioyned to the head Christ Iesus for as Paul saide Beholde I shew you a mysterie 1. Cor. 15.51 so I say and he ment that our coniunction with our head Christ must bee done mistically by the working of the Godhead or else we shall still bee like the kerchief that was by it selfe Ioh. 20.7 that is as it was wrapped vp in a place by it selfe seuered from the rest of the linnen clothes that were about his body so we the members should bee parted from Christ our head in heauen and should remayne on earth by our selues And Christ himselfe saith that if he should not raise vp all at the last day then he should not doe the worke of a Sauiour Ioh. 6.39 This is the Fathers will that hath sent mee that of all which he hath giuen me I should loose nothing but should raise it vp at the last daye for it is all one as if hee had said if there were no resurrection then were I no Sauiour for if I raise them not then I saue them not Therfore first he threatneth death 1. Cor. 15.55 then conquireth death Paul concludeth this as a necessarie poynt in diuinitie to say Christ is risen ergo wee shall rise too for you see he thinketh no argument better then to say If it be preached that Christ is risen 1. Cor.
15.12 how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead It is the best argument that euer was made to proue a resurrection not only in particular that for so much as Christ is risen it must bee confessed that there is a resurrection if no more shoulde rise but hee but seeing Christ is risen as the head how shall the members sticke by him no but the members must follow the head for as when a man taketh a fall the head riseth first and then all the bodie commeth after it Mark 16.6 So Christ hauing risen from the graue where he lay is lifted vp into heauen as our spiritual head and telleth vs in his worde that hee will not send any other sauing the comforter to cherrish vs but to fetch vs he will come himselfe that where hee is there may wee bee also Iohn 14.3 The Iewes that buried Christ laid a heauie stone vppon the graue Matth. 27.66 to haue kept him there if it had been possible And now he is risen all the christians they lay hold vpō him by faith And as Iacob said to the Angell Gen. 32.26 I will not part from thee till thou hast blessed me So the Church saith 1. Cant. 3. draw mee vnto thee 2. King 2.6 for wee will run after thee they meane as Elisha saide to Elias I will not leaue thee that is Matth. 11.12 I will goe to heauen and therefore let mee goe and then the kingdome of God suffereth violence among them Herein lyeth the whole burthen of a christian 1. Thess 4.14 if yee beleeue that Iesus dyed is risen againe euen so them that sleepe with Iesus shall GOD bring with him 1. Cor. 15.20 All must bee assured of this Christ is risen from the dead and is become the fruite of them that sleep that is as by the offering of the fruites all the rest had a blessing so in christ his resurrection ours is confirmed This made Paul so carefullie to aduertise Timothie of this poynte of doctrine remember that Iesus Christ made of the seede of Dauid was raised againe the third daye 2. Tim. 2.8 according to my Gospell remember it that is forget it not while thou liuest but remember it euen when thou diest and then as he is of that power that in very death he raysed the dead and sent them out of their hollow sepulchers into the holy citie to bee seene of such as were aliue Matth. 27.52 And as while hee liued hee called things that were not Rom. 4.17 as though they were Ioh. 11.34 as hee did Lazarus carkesse by the name of Lazarus and the bodie of the widdowes sonne Luk 7.14 by name of young man So the houre shall come Luk. 7.14 Ioh. 5.28 that the dead shall heare the voyce of the sonne of man and then wee shall all stand vp like the bones that Ezechiel sawe Ezec. 37.10 According to that he hath done whether it be good or euill 2. King 20.1 Therefore abe at vnusquisque in domum suam Let euerie one goe into his owne house vz. looke into himselfe that he may reforme what is amisse as Esay sayd to Ezechia Set thine house in an order If ye doe possesse your soules in patience haue care to keepe them still Luk. 21 19. As Rahab had a red thread tyed in her windowe so giue the Lorde a signe to remember you when the destroyer commeth Iosua 2.18 that GOD may haue mercie on you as you haue shewed mercie to other Looke how you will bee rewarded so doe your worke for you waite for the day of the Lord Iob. 14.6 as the hireling for the euening to receiue his reward He that knoweth of what spirit ye are better then your selues 〈◊〉 14.6 must needes know you well Luk. 9 55. He that hath made the eye seeth you when ye see not him He that made the heart fore knoweth your conceit be where ye will hee findeth you when you thinke least vpon him 1. Sam. 24.5 as Dauid founde Saul a sleepe in a caue Say what you will he knoweth what you speake As Elisha could tell what the King of Asseria spake in his priuie chamber 2. King 6.12 As no vertue shall bee vnrewarded with God Iob. 14.17 so no sinne shall be vnpunished with him For he sealeth vp your sinnes in a bagge Psalm 56.8 as duely as he putteth your teares in his bottle that is as hee regardeth the sorrowe of them that repent like Ezekia so hee retaineth the sinne of such as sorowe truely Matth. 13.30 like as Pharao did not That the scripture may be true the cockle must continue among the corne vntill haruest and no longer Ecclesiastes Therefore sayd Salomon There is a time for all things c. As the vngodly haue had a time to bee like the rich man on earth Luk. 16.25 so they shall haue a time to bee like the rich man in hell As they haue been like the bush that was burning Exod. 3.3 so in time they shall be like the Sunne shining Matth. 13.43 The Church is like Iohn Baptist Iohn 5.35 and Iohn Baptist was like a candle burning Iohn 3.20 and shining consuming himselfe to giue light to other Exodus 14.20 But for so much as there are some that loue not the light the Iudge must deale with thē according to their darknes making a separation betwixt them as the pillar of a clowde did betwixt the Israelites and Egyptians in the wildernesse FINIS AT LONDON Printed for William Leake and are to be sold at his shop in Paules Churchyard at the signe of the Crane 1595.
