Let us go that we may Sacrifice to the Lord our God. Exod. 4.23 God saith Let my son go that he may serve me and at all times when Moses goeth to Pharoah this was his business as Chap. 5.1 2 3 c. Chap. 7.16 Chap. 8. 1 8 20 25 26 27 28. Chap. 9.1 13. Chap. 10.3 7 8 9 10 11 24 25.26 Cap. 12.31 c. So when God gave the Law Exod. 20. he saith Hear O Israel I am the Lord that brought thee out of the House of Servants thou shalt have no other Gods before me c. He makes the Deliverance which he had wrought the Motive to their Obedience Solomon's Rest 1 King 5.4 was that he might build the Temple We are Delivered by Christ that we might serve God Luke 1.74 75. That he would grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hands of our Enemies might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness c. In nothing more doth the Holiness of God appear against Sin then in the way of our Deliverance and Redemption by his pouring forth his Wrath to the uttermost on his only begotten Son. when made a Propitiation for us and therefore requires that every one that nameth the name of Christ do depart from Iniquity and this improvement of the Quiet which God giveth we have an instance of Acts 9 31. Then had the Churches Rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were Edifyed and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplyed So that this God designeth the Quiet for which he giveth that it may be thus used and when it is so Improved it is a sign that it was given of God for such have a right to it But it is too apparent that we have not duly Improved the Liberty we have Enjoyed and have cause to fear and suspect our selves that we have not the Qualifications of a People to whom God's Quiet is given in a way of Promise but are obliged to seek after them as we value the Quiet which God giveth Secondly The Second thing we are to Enquire into about the Subject of this Quiet is the manner of its being Produced which is of God. and 1st It is by his Own Presence in and with a People Exod. 33.14 God saith My Presence shall go with thee and I will give thee Rest So it is said in Joshuah God gave them Rest which was by his Presence among them Fighting for them Guiding of them c. And this Presence of God with a People is the greatest Dignity and Benefit a People can Enjoy The Beatyfical Vision consists in being ever with the Lord in his Presence God saith the Nations shall say What People is there like to this Nation that hath God so nigh to them as the Lord is in all you call upon him for Deut. 4.6 7. Again The Lord doth often give Quiet by mean and contemptable means as by Gideon Jeptath Samuel c. that the Power of God may appear thereby when out of the Months of Babes he ordaineth Strength yet always by Righteous Ways for He is a Holy God he is Almighty therefore needs no base means Infinitely Holy therefore abhors all Unjust Wayes some he excludes from his Service Again Thirdly The Peace which God giveth may be seen by a view of its Nature and Properties as 1st 'T is Noble Liberal Free and Full and in all respects a none such James 1.5 If any of you lack Wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men Liberally and upbraideth not 'T is Liberally Free and Noble no Base Conditions but is upon honourable terms And upbraideth not doth not twit them of it as some oft Repeat one Favour but he giveth Innumerable that pass by us unthought of Prov. 10.22 The Blessing of the Lord it maketh Rich and he addeth no Sorrow with it and Peace is his Blessing Psalm 29.11 He will Bless his People with Peace So that 't is Unmixed more Pure and Universal then other Quiet 't is Peace round about on every side as Solomon saith 1 King 5.4 The Lord hath given me rest on every side there is neither Adversary nor Evil Occurrent And thus it continued till he left God and so then he raised him an Adversary So in Joshuah's time there was not a man left to stand against them but when they turned to Idolatry the Book of Judges gives a large account of the Lords Selling them into the hands of their Enemies Judg 2.12.13.14 However till they Sinned they had a compleat quiet So of the Deliverance by Moses Exod. 10.26 Our Cattle also shall go with us there shall not an hoof be left behind the like to David 2 Sam. 7.1 To Israel Josh 21.44 To Asa 2 Chron. 14.6.7 Peace on every side as he maketh Sinners a Magor Misabib a Terror round about so he giveth Peace round about is a wall of Fire round about for Defence to them whose quiet he gives Lastly 'T is durable none can remove it but he that gave it as it was in Joshua's time till God sent them trouble for their sins none could trouble them And this leads us to the Predicate of the first Question to wit That none can cause Trouble First Wherein none can cause Trouble is evident to wit in that kind that the quiet is of When God giveth Quiet from War none can raise War till he sendeth it And therefore 2ly We shall enquire Wherefore none can cause trouble to such whom God giveth quiet unto and this is for two Reasons First Because all trouble is God's Creature he is the Author of it but not of Sin for he is holy When the Creation was finished all things were good and there was no trouble till Sin entred then death entred by sin in the day thou catest c. thou shalt die And when Cain slew his Brother the Ground was cursed for his sake When the World sinned the Flood overflowed it and though God hath promised he will not again drown the World and given his Bow in the Cloud for a Sign of his Covenant yet he is the same Holy Sin-Avenging God that ever he was So when Sodom sinned through Pride Idleness and Fulness of Bread which is too visibly our Frame then Fire came from Heaven and destroyed them So that God hath the Distribution and Ordering of it in his own hands and 't is Infinite Wisdom so to do
