Reign for ever And since it is plain that this Jesus this Son of David did not sit upon his Fathers Throne he must therefore mean some other Kingdom and Throne and he does express it to be such an one too as shall have no End Now he could not sit on this Eternal Throne he could not Reign in this his Everlasting Kingdom if after having once submitted to Death he had not come to Life again He therefore is risen from Death to Life on purpose to enter upon this his Government to sit upon this glorious Seat the Seat of the Eternal Father the Lord both of Heaven and Earth And all this David himself spoke of and what he said so long ago is now come to pass This same Jesus Dyed You Crucifyed him and he lay some time in the Grave but did not Putrefie there making good all the Prophecies of him For he rose again to take his Government to enter upon his Kingdom And we are Witnesses of all this we saw him have Eat Drank and Convers'd with him since his Resurrection and we are not we cannot be Deceiv'd in him we knew him well in Person and Voice and besides we saw and felt his wounded Hands and Side and many others also can testifie the same who saw and heard him as well as we And this very same Jesus whom ye slew and hanged on a Tree thus raised up by the Power of God we also saw ascend into Heaven And he having promised to send to us the Holy Ghost from thence has now performed that too which you cannot but own by this evidence which you now see and hear those several Languages we now speak which before we knew nothing at all of we never were bred up in By all this it is very plain That this same Jesus is advanced to His Kingdom is now Lord over all is the very Messias promised in the Prophets whom ye look for and who will most certainly one day take Vengeance of all his Enemies This surprizing Relation carrying with it such Demonstration and Evidence touch'd them to the quick who had consented to the thing and who had acted in the Crucifying of Him being fearful therefore now and apprehensive of their great danger and that they were soon to be brought under His Foot-stool they cry out for help they intreat the Apostles to relieve them they have no Patience but begg as for Life Men and Brethren what shall we do The Apostle is as quick has a Remedy at hand for them Repent and be Baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ There are some excellent Lessons in this Sacred History which before we proceed I shall but just mention The Apostle here charges the whole body of the Jews and especially all the City of Jerusalem with that barbarous Murder of their King Ye men of Israel says he both High and Low Great and Small 't is you that by wicked hands have Crucified and Slain the Holy One. He could not but know that the Soldiers mostly were the Executioners But the whole Nation being Guilty he charges all in general with it those who Consented to it as well as the Actors and those who with mighty Clamours cry'd out Crucify Him Crucify Him We have indeed a Record of one not to be forgotten a Good Man and a Just who did not consent to the counsel and deed of them St. Luke 23. 51. 't was Joseph of Arimathea who took worthy care of the Corps also whose Humanity therefore is Honourably noted But for the body of the Jews they were all Guilty as well as the poor Heathen Soldiers St. Peter then teaches us That in Preaching the Gospel of Christ the first thing must be to Convince Men of their Sins to charge them home with them and bring them to a general acknowledgment thereof For as no Physitian knows well what to do with that sick Patient who conceals or dissembles his Distemper so nor can Christ profit any who will not be brought to a true sence of their Sins For which reason Christ calls himself a Physitian and says That He came to Heal the Sick and again Not for the Just but to call Sinners to Repentance And the Office of the Holy Ghost He says is to Convince and to Accuse the World of Sin And in his last words to his Disciples when he commands them to Preach Repentance to Encourage them he immediately joyns thereto Remission of Sins St. Luke 24. 47. Nor does the Apostle seem to charge the Mobb only the common Rout of Crucifiers but their Captains too You say he who by wicked and unjust hands have slain c. Judas in the first place once the Disciple and Apostle of Christ but now their Leader and who deliver'd him to them so the High Priest and all the Colledges of Scribes and Pharisees who corrupted Judas and gave him Mony for his part in the Fact Pilate too who sat in the Emperours Seat and gave the unjust Sentence against Him to gratify the importunity of the People Herod also in whose power it was to let him go who instead thereof Mock'd Him and sent Him back to Pilate All these tho never so Great who were guilty as well as those common People who cryed out His Blood be upon us and on our Children the Apostle boldly charges notwithstanding their Grandeur and Authority Tho' by some it might have been esteem'd no less than Treason to charge the Government with Unrighteousness and Injustice in their Sentence yet he plainly does it without that wretched Fear and those fawning Hopes which too oft Tempts Men even in good things to Prevaricate And this is the Duty of every one who comes from God for a Minister is a publick Person an Ambassador and that from the Almighty and his Business is to tell his Masters Mind to deliver his Errands discover his Truths and Pleasure only and not to sew Pillows under the Peoples Arms not to bolster them up in any of their Errors And tho' thus to do is somewhat Irksome as the Prophet Jeremiah complains Wo is me that thou hast made me a Contentious Man and a Man that striveth with the whole Earth c. Jer. 15. 10. Tho' it appears uneasie and troublous to thwart the Inclinations of Men and discharge them of their own Humours yet we find it plainly intimated in their Commission so the aforesaid prophet Jer. c. 1. v. 28. For behold I have made thee a Defenced City and an Iron Pillar and Walls of Brass against the whole Land against the Kings against the Princes against the Priests and against all the People of the Land In the next place this Honestly and plain Dealing in the Apostle had very good effect upon those Jews they were Pricked at the Heart they were sensible how ill they had done they own'd their Evil Condition and looked out for help This is the beginning of true Reformation to be deeply impressed with their
