to the whole world II. Eph. 4. 13. To the measure of the Stature of the fulness of Christ Which is the explication of to a perfect man i. e. to that perfection of Faith and knowledge which becomes the Christian Church III. John 18. 6. I am the way the truth and the life i. e. I declare the true and onely way to life and happiness and no man can throughly understand the will of God nor consequently be a true worshipper of him without learning of me C. I. IOh. 11. 26. I am the resurrection and the life c. i. e. He hath power to raise the dead and will actually raise all those who are his sincere ●ollowers and reward them with immortality II. Joh. 5. 25. Tbe dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God c. i. e. He first raises those who are dead in sin to a new spiritual life and then hath authority to raise them to an immortal life III. Col. 3. 3. You are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God You profess your selves to be dead to this World in Conformity to the death of Christ and that immortal life which you expect to enjoy with Christ is at present concealed from your view The Fiftieth Meeting A. I. 1 COr 1. 22. The Jewes require a sign and the Greeks c. The Jewes were all for signes and miracles the Greeks were for curious Philosophical speculations which might gratifie their inquisitive minds and therefore neither of them could relish the plain simple Doctrine of a Crucified Christ II. 1 Cor. 1. 24. This crucified Saviour is the power of God and the wisdome of God i. e. the most powerful method which was ever used by God for the reforming the World and the contrivance and effect of excellent wisdome And thus the Gospel of Christ is called the power of God to salvation to them that believe Rom. 1. 16. And by this foolishness of preaching i. e. by preaching this foolish doctrine as it was accounted by the wise men of the World of a crucified Christ it pleased God to save them that believe III. Jer. 23. 6. Christ is expresly call'd The Lord our Righteousness ●s it that the onely Righteousness wher● with we must appear before God is the ●ightenousness of Christ imputed to us Or rather Righteousness here signifies no more than Mercy kindness and beneficence And so the Lord our Righteousness is the Lord who does good to us who is our Saviour and deliverer Which is very agreeable to the reason of this name that in his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely B. I. ISai. 54. 17. Their Righteousness is of me saith the Lord. Which is a parallel expression to The Lord our Righteousness and signifies no more than that God will avenge their cause and deliver them from all their enemies II. Isa 61. 10. The Garments of Salvation and the robe of Righteousness do not signifie an imputed righteousness but those great deliverances God promised to Israel in the former verses which should make them as glorious in the eyes of men as a splendid garment would III. Matth. 5. 19 20. Our Saviour in his Sermons to the peoplemakes ●o mention at all of imputed righteousness but severely injoyns them the practice of of an universal righteousness and threatens those who break the least commandment that they shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven C I. PHil. 3. 9. Is it not worth observing that in all the New Testiment there is no such expression as the Righteousness of Christ imputed We find there the Righteousness of God that which he commands and rewards and the Righteousness of Faith and ●he Righteousness of God which is by Faith in Jesus Christ Is i● not strange that neither Christ nor his Apostl●s should once tell us of the Imputation of Christs Righteousness did the mystery of the Gospel consist in it II. Rom. 3. and 4. The great Dispute in the Epistle to the Romans is whether we must be justified by the Law of Moses or by the Faith of Christ That is whether the observation of all the external Rites Ceremoni●s of the Law an external conformity of our actions to the moral precepts of it will justifie a man before God or that sincere and universal obedience which the Gospel of Christ r●quires which transforms our minds into the likeness of God and makes us new creatures III. Rom. 4. 3. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for Righteousness And this while he was uncircumcised Which is a convincing argument against the Jewes that circumcision and the observance of the Law of Moses is not necessary to justification Because Abraham who was the Father of the Faithful and is set forth for a pattern of our justification was justified without it The one and Fiftieth Meeting A I. HEb 2. 10. God sent sent his Son into the world to take upon him our nature and him being the Captain of our Salvation he would perfect through sufferings that no man might think it much to suffer when God spared not his own Son and every man might submit to the necessity when the Christ of God was not exempt And yet no man could fear the event which was to follow sad beginnings when it behoved even Christ to suffer and so to enter into glory II. Eccles 12. 7. God did not onely by Revelation and the Sermons of the Prophets to his Church but even to all mankind competently teach and effectively perswade that the soul of man does not die but that altho things were ill here yet they should be well hereafter that the evils of this life were short and tollerable and that to the good who usually feel most of them they should end in honour and advantages III. 2 Thes 1. 5. We must through much tribulation c. Christ himself and his Apostles and his whole army of Martyrs dyed under the violence of evil men When Vertue made good men poor and free speaking of brave truths made the wise to lose their liberty when an excellent life hastened an opprobrious death and the obeying God destroyed our selves it was but time to look about for another state of things where justice should rule and Virtue find her own portion where the men that were like to God in justice and mercy should also partake of his felicity B. I. 1. COr 15. 19. If in this life onely c. We are sick and we are afflicted we do well and we are disgraced we tell truths and few believe us speak well and we are derided but the proud are exalted and the wicked are delivered and evil men reign over us and the covetous snatch our little bundles of mony from us and every where the wisest and the best men are oppressed but therefore because it is thus and thus it is not well we hope for some great good thing hereafter For if in this life only we had hope then we Christians
THREE MINISTERS Communicating their COLLECTIONS And NOTIONS Touching Several Texts of Scripture most part practical at their Weekly Meetings WHEREIN The Law and Gospel Faith and works justification and salvation and in short the Substance of primitive Christianity is set forth as appeareth in the INDEX prefixed Contents of the N.

Govern of the Tong. p. 216. Would some of parts and authority but make the experiment I cannot think that all places are yet so vitiated but that they may meet with many who would relish sober and ingenious and religious discourse and by their example propagate it to others To the Right Reverend Father Lord Bishop of the Diocess This Essay with continual Prayers for his Lordships happiness is the humble Oblation of A. B. C. Advertisements THe courteous Readers may be pleased to understand these Three Ministers reside in the Country at so little distance that they easily meet once a week in course at their private Chambers There they have a sober Treat they distinctly read their Papers they confer calmly upon the particulars and discourse upon the affairs of Learning and Religion consider also how to do more good in their cures and comfort one another against Adversities The Names of the Authors Non-commentators are not mentioned though they are worthy of a thankful Remembrance but the Notes are left to commend themselves to the judicious Readers to whom we appeal from the Vulgar who value things only according to that affection they have for the persons The names of the Collectors are concealed not to decline Blame but rather to shun the praise due to such as endeavour by uniting themselves to promote Christian Piety and Vniformity in their stations And they humbly conceive this way of Meeting of conforming Ministers and withal the very Reading of the Explicit Stipulation countenanced by Superiours will prove a good expedient to reduce a more regular obedience to the Church of England our honored Mother But it will be very sad if we fall into an Age wherein both Grievances and Remedies are intolerable Deus meliora Be not hasty to censure but first have recourse as the Ministers do in their conferences to your Bible see the Scope Antecedents and Consequents of the place weigh them and then spare not to pass your Sentence Amongst 468.
