of an Eagle the kinde of birde by which our Sauiour chose to shadowe them who shall bee gathered hither Now it remaineth that from this choice of the Fliers I proceede to those neare circumstances in the flight it selfe conteyned in these wordes shall bee gathered together which as I conceiue them are three The first the efficient cause of it or hee in whose strength it is made The seconde the manner or after what sort it shall bee made The thirde the certaintie or the assurance wee haue that it must bee made All three distinctly deliuered vs in that one Originall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which wee in english expresse by these many words shall bee gathered together The first of which notes or the efficient cause I gather by Abnegation out of the voice of this Verbe which beeing Passiue giueth to vnderstande that they who shall be gathered are no Actors in their owne gathering The seconde or the manner of this Flight I finde in the Praeposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which imposing vpon the Verbe that is compounded with it a communitie as the Grammarians speake indeede stretching the action or passion of it to manie argueth in this gathering a shoaling or an assembling of some companie The thirde or the certainetie of this flight I deduce out of the nature of this Verbe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it selfe which at least importeth a preheminence and not seldome an vnresistable violence in conducting or as one woulde say a soueraigntie in drawing whither it inioynes a necessitie of following For so vseth Aesebines it with whome 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 soundes as much as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to drag or haile one to the b●●●● no lesse than to leaue him no shift whereby to escape making his answere or to speake more to the capacitie of the meaner first in that it is saide these Eagles shall bee gathered I conclude that it is not they that shall gather themselues Then in that it is added in that they shall bee gathered together I collecte there must bee some number of them who shall be gathered Last in that it is tolde vs that they shall bee gathered or inforced to make this appearance I resolue they shall not haue power to denie it out come they must By the gathering I tolde you in the beginning was the resurrection meant and therefore cannot now doubt but you conceiue that by the cause in this gathering is the Author of our resurrection By the certainetie of this gathering is the assurance of our resurrection vnderstoode Now concerning that which I had intended in each of these three I haue place onely for our Sauiours complainte Iohn 16.12 I haue many things to say but you cannot beare them away not that your capacities would not serue to receiue them for their greatnes but that my strength cannot last to deliuer them for their number For besides what I had intended of the two first points the cause the manner with the summe of which Mor. 24. I should haue bene better able in fewe wordes to acquaint you my especiall purpose was in the thirde to haue attempted the making good vnto the Atheists of our time that which long time Gregory vndertooke to their fathers in infidelitie that Resurrections fidem qui in obedientia non tenent eaudem in ratione debuerant teners They whose faith was so weake that they could not therefore beleeue a Resurrection because God had promised it should yet in reason haue made no doubt of it because very reason in a sort perswaded it But heere as the straitnes of time hath preuented me for vttering that which it may be might haue done some good so hath it made me amendes with bidding me to the keeping of that best rule giuen but in one but true in euery such misterie of religion which otherwise I should haue ventured to haue broken Fides credat intelligentia non requirat Let faith beleeue it let wit seeke no reason of it Ne aut non inuentum putet incredibile aut reperium non credat singulare least curiositie for his paines gaine one of these two thinges either if it bee in iudgement dazeled and cannot finde it like an Apostata to thinke it incredible or if it bee in mercie illightned and able to reach it then like almost as ill to esteeme it no more than ordinarie Howsoeuer therefore either in an other place or at another time in this argument I may venture to doe as swimmers vse put my selfe to diuing to saue others from drowning for so much danger is there in seeking to establish that by reason which is aboue reason here now that one promise of him who is the trueth it selfe that all that are in their graue shall heare the voice of the sonne of God shal suffice mee both for direction to the Author intelligence of the companie Ioh. 5.28 and assurance of the Apparance vpon this Sommons The Sonne of God whose voice shall bee heard hee saith my soule shall bee the Author that All which shall heare it they shall be the companie and that hearing which shall be restored vnto them shall bee the warrant they shall rise Now the God of wisdome and consolation giue vs both in our searching modestie and in our suffering faith that to vs may the comfort redound and the checke not stretch of our Sauiours wheresoeuer The body which was slaine for vs quicken vs which is vnited to vs sanctifie vs which feeds vs strengthen vs which shall iudge vs acquite vs. The maiestie at whose commandement the Eagle mounteth aslure vs of our kinde by our nest so sure as on the rock our eye so strong as vnd aseled by the Sun our flight so true as high and swift our Foe so choyce as the Dragon our age so fresh as renewed our wit so discreere as peizing before bearing away And last the Sonne who wee know shal at last raise vs all out of the sleepe of death in the meane time raise vs his people out of our slumber in sinne that our first life may secure vs from the seconde death To this Son with the Father and the holy Ghost three persons but one God power wisdome and loue it selfe be ascribed al praise dominion glorie now and for euermore Amen FINIS
