A78218 [Baʻal-samz] or, Soveraigne balsome, gently applied in a few weighty considerations (by way of quærie) for healing the distempers of such professors of religion as Satan hath wounded and drawn aside (under the notion of living in God) to the utter renouncing and casting off the use of divine ordinances, and Gospel-institutions of worship. With an apendix by way of postscript to such professors, wherein the most principall grounds upon which they build their practise, are fully answered and removed. And a catalogue of the errors that many of them hold since they left the ordinances, discovered. As also a true relation of Gods extraordinary working upon one of this way very lately in Plimouth, to the sight of his error, for the good of others published. / By Will.

In respect of their use because they present Christ to the soule more lively and clearly more feelingly and spiritually more fully and abundantly 2. In respect of their end because they are to end in heaven at the comming of Christ to glory whereas those of the Law had their period in the grave of Christ 3.

As the Iewes had Officers to lead them so Beleevers now have Pastors and Teachers c. As the Iewes had the ministery of the Law read and preached so Beleevers now have the ministery of the Gospel As the Iewes had a Temple and an Altar so now Beleevers have Iesus Christ and the Saints in fellowship which are living Temples And as the Iewes had sacrifices so now Beleevers have the spirituall sacrifices of Prayer and Praises which they offer to God by Iesus Christ 1 Pet. 2.5 as compleat in point of Ordinances as the Nationall Church of the Jewes was under the Law according to Coloss 2.10 6. Whether Jesus Christ the alone Head and King of this visible Church-state and Kingdome did not n Nova Ecclesia sonare debere ca quae Christus credenda servanda praecepit Discipulis Facessere igitur debent traditiones humanae neque misceri cum Evangelio Christi Idem in Matth. 28.20 Himselfe institute and ordain those Holy Ordinances of Worship for Beleevers to make use of in all Ages till his comming again Ephes 4.11 12. 1 Cor. 11. o Non dicit Ego enim vester Apostolus Apostolica vobis authoritate sic tradidi sed ego enim accopt à Domino quod tradidi vobis Ad eandem nobis respiciendum est hodie videndum que ne à uorma illius quolibet deelinemus Non sunt audiendi qui praetexunt Patres Concilia Magisterium spiritus potestatem Ecclesiae Catholicam confuetudinem c. omnia haec posterius sunt inducta Nobis regula veritatis esse dobet quae veniat à Christo per illius Apostolos transmissa M●●c in loc 23 24 25 26. 1 Cor. 12.28 Mat. 28.18 19 20. And whether these Ordinances of worship being Jure Divino it be in the p What is made a Law no authority can pull down but that which sets it up power of any publique or privat person on earth to eause an alteration or cessation of them 7. Whether Jesus Christ and his Apostles who I suppose without controversie lived more highly in God then any now doe or can did not in their first ordaining and gathering of this visible Church-state and Kingdome make use of Gospel-ordinances of worship q Our Lord Iesus himselfe did not only institute holy ordinances and duties of worship for his Churches to observe but was in the use of them himself He made use of Baptisme of the Lords Supper of publishing and preaching the Gospel of Prayer of singing Hymnes or Psalmes of private conserence of giving thankes before meat of praying amongst and for the wicked of society with the Disciples and that after his resurrection in their meeting together at times of worship c. And thus it was with the Apostles also as is evident to such as are but meanly acquainted with the Histories in the Scriptures themselves and intend that the Saints that followed them should do so also yea whether they did not by their own use and practise of these Gospel-ordinances of Worship leave to the Saints in succeeding ages a pretious r There are three sorts of workes which Christ wrought 1. Some Qua Deus i. as he was God as working of miracles pardoning of sinnes c. In these we cannot imitate him 2. Some Qua mediator Dei hominum i as he was mediator between God and Man and satisfying Gods justice for our sinnes and reconciling the world to God And in these neither can we imitate him 3. Some Qua homo privatus i. as he was a private person and these are all such duties as God required in his word to be performed And herein Christ hath given us an example to follow and imitate him Vide Zanch. in 1 John 2.6 Apostolos Domini habemus authores qui nec ipsi quicquam ex suo arbitrio quod inducerent eligerunt sed acceptam à Christo disciplinam fideliter Nationtbus adsignaverunt Tertul. de praescript advers Haeres c. 6. example and ground of encouragement to walk in the same way of practising and using joyntly or apart those ordinances of worship according to their conditions and relations private or publique 1 John 2.6 1 Cor 11.1 And whether the practise of the primitive Saints and Churches be not also a pattern and copie for beleevers now to write after Rom. 15.4 ſ Non vult ergo ut quosvis temerè imitemur sed qui sunt fimiles Apostotis Nequc etiam Apostolis simpliciter sed quatenus Christum imitantur Zanch. in loc Phil. 3.17 18 19. 4.9 8.

And whether that place in c This is evident from the Apostles quoting this Text in Acts 4.25 26 27. against the Rulers Elders Scribes c that sate in counsell against them and made open opposition against Christ in them refusing to bow to his Scepter and Government held forth both in the Doctrine and practice of the Apostles And to this agree Expositors generally Psal 2.1 2 3. be not meant of those wicked men more especially that cast off all Divine Ordinances and Lawes of Christs Kingdome and Government under the Gospel 27. Whether the Face of Christ in which the Glory of God the Father doth shine forth d Non loquitur autem de corporea Christi facie sed de ea quae salutis nostrae dispensationem spectandam proponit Musc in loc 2 Cor. 4.6 be not to be understood of Gospel-ordinances and Institutions Christ himselfe personally being now sate down at the right hand of the Majesty on high Heb. 1.3 In which Face or Ministery and Ordinances of Christ the admirable and illustrious beauty of the eternall God his infinite wisdome power and love which is hid from the world doth so shine forth oftentimes through the Spirit of Christ to the hearts of the Saints that they seem to be out of the body and in heaven before they are in heaven and in glory on this side glory as it was with Paul 2 Cor. 12.1 2. And whether a Beleever be not bound to be in the use of these Gospel-ordinances and administrations where he may * Psal 27.4 behold this beauty and glory of the Lord it being the Lords own way he hath appointed to reveale himselfe by and not trust to other wayes of our own making for the sight of this glory having not a warrant for it in the Scriptures 28. Whether a Beleever in this life whiles he is cloathed with his earthly Tabernacle can see Spirituall things especially God Himselfe who is an infinite and incomprehensible Spirit so as to have fellowship and communion with him and to live in him otherwise then by an eye of faith in the e We cannot see Divine things othewise then in a glasse that sight of God which wee shall have immediatly in heaven without the Word and Sacraments is of a higher nature when we shall be perfect but while we live here we cannot see God but in Christ and we cannot see Christ but in the Word and Sacraments such is the imperfection of our fight Dr. Sibs Excel of the Gospel above the Law p. 280 281 286 287 c. glasse of Gospel-ordinances as the works of God and the word of God but especially Iesus Christ who is God incarnate God manifest in the flesh and this Jesus in the mystery of the Gospel and Seales according to 2 Cor. 3. ult And whether the Lord doth not as a great testimony of his love to us in Christ very much condescend and stoop to the weake and imperfect condition of his people while they are here below to make known the glory of his Wisdome Mercy Power and Love to their soules by his Spirit in the Ordinances 29. Whether the Commandements of Christ so much spoken of and mentioned in the Scriptures doe not extend to the obedience of the outward man as well as the inward and to the externals of worship as well as the internals of faith And whether a person can upon Iust grounds number himselfe among the friends of Christ that doth not make conscience of f Nota igitur verae amicitiae est observantia voluntatis amicivoluntas Christi est in illius praeceptis illis obedtre est voluntati Christi este conformem Amici Christi non sunt qui Christi praecepta susque deque facientes doctrinis mandatis hominum subjiciuntur Musc in loc keeping those commandements of Christ according to that of our Saviour Iohn 15.14 Yea whether any one can say upon just grounds that he loves or knowes Christ that doth not keep his commandements seeing the Scriptures speak directly against it and renders such for lyers that pretend to know Christ and love him but yet keep not his commandements g Necessario igitur consequi quicunque jactant sidem sen studium pietatis et interim studium servandae legis Dei negligunt eos impudentissimc mentiri Zanch in loc 1 Iohn 3 4. Iohn 14 15. 30. Whether the end of Christs comming into the world were not rather to fulfill and confirme then to disanull and make void the law of God ingraven in our hearts and revealed in the Scriptures whereby he calls for the obedience of the whole man inward and outward in the service of Christ And whether such as break the least of these lawes and shall teach others to doe so likewise doe not bring themselves under that penalty of Matth. 5.15 to be counted h 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e minimi fiet imò nihili fiet vult enim dicere illos exclusum iri è regno coelorum Piscat in loc least in the Kingdome of heaven that is to have no part nor portion in the Church of Christ here on earth or the Kingdome of glory hereafter 31. Whether those that enter on the actions and workes of their particular callings or upon the use of the creature especially at the accustomed times of refreshing Nature as at Dinner Supper c. without seeking to God by prayer for praises through faith in Christ can expect a blessing upon them or a sanctified and comfortable use of them And whether they doe not transgresse the revealed will of God expresly manisested herein and discover a loose i Let us never come to the table without calling upon Gods name let us never rise from the table without giving thāks for it is certain that all they that eat so and doe not pray to God are for the most part worse then bruit beasts Calv Serm. in 1 Tim. 4.3 4. brutish and prophane frame of Spirit herein Phil. 4.6 Be carefull for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thankesgiving let your requests bee made knowne to God So 1 Thess 5.17 Pray without ceasing and the 18. verse In every thing give thankes for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you So 1 Tim. 4.3 4.5 speaking of meats that seducing Teachers should in the latter times endeavour in a k As on Fridayes in Lent in Embring dayes and fasting dayes c.

uberior perfectior clarior magis explicata Christi mysteriorum divinorum cognitio And this hee proves by five Arguments but yet reproves those that would hereby lay aside the Scriptures and look upon them as unusefull to them when the Day-starre is risen in their hearts considering the whole state of the New Testament-light is no other to that of glory then the midnight is to the noon-day and especially because that the dawning of the day and the arising of the Day-starre in our hearts spoken of here is meant of the Ministery and Doctrine of the Apostles who were the best interpreters of the Prophets Christ himselfe having before his ascension opened their understandings to that end Luke 24.44 45. Sic ergo sermonem Propheticum comparat Apostólus lucernae tempore noctis lucenti Apostolicum vero sermonem seu Evangelii in N. T. praedicationem comparat Lucifero diei plenam lucem adferenti hac ratione majorem doctrinae claritatem N. T. tribuit And thus Piscator Beza and others understand the place so that beleevers are to have respect to the Scriptures alwayes both of the old and new Testament and not to cast off the use of them as soon as the Day-starre begins to rise in their hearts that is so soon as they come to understand or attaine a more cleare knowledge of the doctrine of the Gospel or salvation by faith alone in Christ crucified by the ministery and teaching of the Spirit 3. Concerning that Text of 1 John 2 27. in my judgement Calvin and Beza speake out the proper sense of the place Vide Bee Annot. Calv. in loc saying That the Apostle in these words onely signifieth to those he wrote that they were not so ignorant as to be taught such things as were unknown to them or that hee propounded such things to them as the Spirit of Christ which they had received into their hearts did not readily prompt and make known unto them And therefore faith Calvin Frantick men doe rashly from hence seek to shut out of the Church the use of the publique Ministery For in that the Apostle saith that they are taught in all things by the Spirit it must not be generally taken but restrained to the circumstance of the present place c. 4. As for that of Revel 21.22 23. though the most both Ancient and Modern Writers doe understand it of the Church Triumphant hereafter in glory yet Mr Brightman and others take it to be meant of the glorious times of the Church here on earth when the Jewes shall be called and come to their full glory in Gospel-enjoyments At which time the worship that shall then be in use shall be most simple and most pure c. Let the Jewes therefore saith he hearken to this and let them not expect the re-edifying of a new materiall Temple amongst them any longer as they have done to this day foolishly and perversty but let them breathe and bray with their hearts hearty wishes ter the right manner of worshipping God which shall not stand in need of any Temple Let them long with hopefull hearts to see Almighty God himselfe and the Lamb conversing among them in respect of which glory they shall judge whatsoever can be framed by the policie of men are but vile and nothing worth And then afterward upon the 23. verse Now these things saith Mr Brightman are not spoken to this purpose as if there should be no use at all of the Scriptures but because all men shall be so able to understand the will of God at this time as if they had no need to be brought to knowledge by the reading and studying of the Scriptures or any other holy bookes which help to open them To this agree Mr Bernard on the Revelations with Mr Burroughes on Hosea and divers other late Writers 10. Lastly though some of those that renounce Ordinances will make use of Scriptures so farre as they conceive will advantage their cause as is the property of all Heretickes to doe yet for the most part such persons wholly renounce them calling it a dead letter a common writing of no more value truth and authority then the writings and sayings of other Saints containing in them many weake silly vain grosse and contrary things and therefore not to be made use of especially by grown Christians as a Rule to guide them but the Saints are to follow the dictates and teachings of the Spirit within them Answ 1. It seemes then that the Scriptures or the word of God which was written by the holy Prophets and Apostles who were infallibly led and guided by the holy Ghost in the penning of the Old and New Testament as I shall shew in the following Answers will serve young Christians turnes and may bea help to such as are poore weake low beleevers Babes in Christ Well then they are some way usefull but why not as usefull and serviceable to * S.

The Apostles though they had such a fulnesse of the Spirit powred out upon them Acts 2. yet they made use of the Scriptures Peter did 1. Pet. 1.10 11 12. and chap. 2.6 and 2 Pet. 1 20 21. and chap. 3.16 And the Apostle Paul who was caught up into the third heaven whose divine enjoyments were so great that few could match him he made use of the Scriptures Acts 17.2 Rom. 1.2.4.3.9.17.10.11.11.2 Gal. 3.8 22.4 30. 1 Cor. 15.3 4. 1 Tim. 5.18 So the Apostle James he made use of them Jam. 2.8 23 4.5 So the Evangelists we read how often they quoted the Scriptures So Apollos was mighty in the Scripture Acts 18 24.28 So the Bereans they searched daily the Scriptures and were highly commended for it Acts 17.11 Yea the Lord Jesus Christ himselfe our alone blessed Saviour made use of the Scriptures often as we finde Iohn 7.38 Luke 4.18 Luke 20.37 Matth. 21.42.22.29 Luke 24.27 32 45. Neither did Christ and his Apostles make use onely of the Scriptures for their own use but charged others to make use of the Scriptures and those also that were no mean Christians but such as had attained a great measure of the Spirit That they gave the Saints in charge to make use of the Scriptures is evident from Iohn 5.39 Col. 3.12 Rom. 15.3 4. 2 Tim. 3.14 15
