and there pronounceth Sentence of Condemnation against him and there leaves him in the Hands of Justice to expect the Execution of that fearful Sentence Go ye cursed Matth. 25.41 The Law gives no ground of hope to a poor Sinner to expect Salvation But now the Gospel that brings the glad-tidings of a Saviour Luk. 2.10 Behold I bring you good tidings of great Joy which shall be unto all People For to you is born a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. As if the Angel had said Come you that are under the Curse and fiery Sentence of the Law do not despair the great God hath in infinite Mercy contrived a way to save you from your Sins and Fears there 's a Saviour born for you who is able and willing to save to the utmost all those that come unto God by him This blessed News of a Saviour was reserved for Gospel-Times in a great measure 2 Tim. 1.10 Life and Immortality is brought to light by the Gospel And therefore this is the very business of a Gospel-Ministry to preach Christ to Men and to invite Persons to come to Christ 2 Cor. 5.20 We are Ambassadors for Christ we pray you in Christ's stead be ye reconciled to God And that great Apostle Paul who had well considered what he was to preach sums up the whole of his Ministerial Office in a little compass 1 Cor. 2.2 I resolved to know nothing among you but Christ and him crucified i. e. I had no purpose to teach any other Doctrine than the most necessary and only saying Doctrine the way of Salvation by a crucified Christ For indeed this is the only saving Knowledg as in that Saying † Si Christum discis satis est si caetera nescis Si Christum nescis nihil est si caetera discis If thou knowest Jesus Christ well 't is enough tho thou art ignorant of all other things but if a Man know not Jesus Christ all other knowledg will do him no good Accursed then be that Platonical way of Preaching that cries up Vertues and puts People upon legal Performances but hides from People the Pearl Jesus Christ O bless God for the Gospel and for a Gospel-Ministry and hear those Ministers that preach Jesus Christ Were it not for the Gospel and a Gospel-Ministry wherein would England differ from America Q. To whom doth God freely offer Christ in the Gospel A. 1. Jesus Christ is not offered to faln Angels they are in a fearful State inevitably sentenc'd to Perdition God could have recovered them if he had pleased Jesus Christ might have been their Saviour and not ours They are a nobler Order of Creatures than we but it seemed good to the Wisdom of God to pass them by when they turned their backs on God he let them go Heb. 2.16 For verily he took not on him the Nature of Angels or he took not hold of Angels but the Seed of Abraham 2. The Jews who had the first offers of the Gospel but refused are by the alwise God for the present passed by he has withdrawn his Offers from them and left them at present to sit in Darkness and in the Regions of the shadow of Death There is indeed a time when the blindness shall be plucked from off their Hearts and they turned to the Lord they shall be converted Rom. 11. tot Zac. 12.10 O let us beg that God would hasten it 3. There 's abundance of the Gentile World yet sit in darkness and in the Regions of the shadow of Death that never yet had the Gospel preached to them O what vast Countries are there in the East and West Indies that never heard of a Saviour that never had any Books to read but the Creatures Sun Moon and Stars these we should pity and pray for their Conversion 'T is a dreadful case not to have the Gospel Lord send out thy Light and Truth Psal 43.3 There is a day when the fullness of the Gentiles shall come in as may be seen by well considering these Scriptures Isa 49.6 Isa 61. throughout This will be then a golden time when Jews and Gentiles shall be converted and the Earth filled with the Knowledg of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea O beg and pray for such a time that Jesus Christ may be glorified upon Earth as he is in Heaven 4. There are abundance even in the Christian Church that are baptized and called Christians and make some kind of a profession of Religion that have so often and so long resisted the saving Offers of Christ in the Gospel and trampled on that sweet and blessed Blood of Jesus that Jesus Christ has done with them He has sworn in his Wrath that they shall never enter into his rest Heb. 3.11 O it 's dreadful for a Person to outstand his Day of Grace Be afraid Sinner lest it should be thy case if Jesus Christ should say I have done with that Swearer I 've done with this Drunkard with that Worldly Proud scoffing carnal Wretch I 've oft invited him warned him but to no purpose I have done with him he shall never be call'd more for me These indeed have Christ offered in the Word but the Spirit is gone God saith of these as once he did of Ephraim Ephraim is joined to Idols let him alone this is a dreadful case Of such as these the Apostle speaks Heb. 6.4 5 6. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightned and have tasted of the Heavenly Gift and were made Partakers of the Holy Ghost and have tasted the good Word of God and the Powers of the World to come If they fall away to renew them again unto Repentance seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put him to an open shame This is a hard Scripture and doth much stumble some weak but upright Christians therefore I 'le anatomize it to you * Locus perobscurus difficilis unus haud dubiè ex illis de quibus Petrus dixit quaedam esse in Epistolis Paulinis quae homines indocti instabiles Pervertant suo ipsorum exitio 1. Some as Novatus and his Followers from this Scripture broached his pernicious Opinion That those that sinned after Baptism could not be renewed to Repentance But this Opinion is long ago out of doors 2. Others would hence infer the falling away from Grace taking these Expressions to be once enlightned to taste the heavenly Gift to taste the good Word of God and the Powers of the World to come to intimate a sound Work of Conversion and Regeneration but that cannot be the sense because true Grace and the Seed of Regeneration can never be lost neither can a Person in Christ finally fall away from Christ as appears from that one Text which I shall now only name among many others to that purpose 1 Pet. 1.23 Being born again not of corruptible Seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth
