A02880 Heauens ioy, or, Heauen begun vpon earth Wherein there is discouered more plainely than euer formerly. The happy and surpassing glorious estate of a iustified person, or a saint on earth. Also that greater happinesse at the day of iudgement. And a small tast of that greatest and most glorious estate prepared for vs in the highest heauens. Also the writer will bee ready to defend what is here written against all opposers whatsoeuer. Traske, John, d. ca. 1638, attributed name. 1616 (1616) STC 13019; ESTC S118657 50,366 168

of the Hypocrite and of the child of God Though the Hypocrite triumph and reioyce yet he is neuer at quiet But the childe of God hath also Peace and Rest A third difference is this the Ioy of the Hypocrite lifts him vp as before Though his excellency mount vp to the Heauens and his head reatch vnto the Cloudes n Iob. 20.6 This doeth plainely shew the exaltation of Hypocrites in their reioycing and triumph yea these are so exalted that they despise others which our blessed Lord obserued and discouered by a parable where it is written That he spake this parable to certaine men which trusted in themselues that they were righteous and despised others Two men went vp into the Temple to Pray the one a Pharisee the other a Publicane The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himselfe God I thanke thee that I am not as other men are o Luc. 18.9.10.11 Thus doe Hypocrites exalt themselues and are lifted vp with Capernaum to Heauen though they shall come down to Hell p Mat. 11.23 Hee is so caried away with the Loue of himselfe that hee basely accounteth of other But the Ioy of the Saints is neuer seuered from meekenesse and lowlinesse q Gal. 5.22.23 They are all clothed with humilitie r 1. Pet. 5.5 For these haue learned not to reioyce in themselues but in the Lord as it is written Reioyce in the Lord alway and againe I say reioyce let your Moderation be knowen vnto all men the Lord is at hand yea the same minde is in them which was also in Christ Iesus who being in the forme of God thought it no robbery to be equall with God but made himselfe of no reputation and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant and was made in the likenesse of men And being found in fashion as a man he humbled himselfe and became obedient vnto Death euen to the Death of the Crosse ſ Phil. 4.4.5 So those that reioyce with exceeding great ioy when they saw that the Lambe had preuailed to open the Booke with seuen seales we reade that they fell downe before the Lambe t Reuel 5.8 And this is another manifest difference betweene the Hypocrites Ioy and the Ioy of the Saints The Hypocrites Ioy makes him proude and lifts him vp and causeth him to despise others The Ioy of the Saints doth humble him yea cast him downe before the Lord and is alwayes accompanied with Humilitie A fourth difference is this That the Ioy of the Hypocrite holdes not out in persecution as it is plaine where it is written Those on the Rocke are such which when they heare receiue the word with Ioy and these haue no roote which for a while beleeue and in time of Temptation fal away u Luc. 8.13 But Matthew writeth thus Hee that receiueth the seede in stony places the same is he which heareth the word and anone with Ioy receiueth it yet hath hee no roote in himselfe but dureth for a while for when Tribulation or Affliction ariseth because of the word by and by he is offended a Mat. 13.20.27 Whereas the Ioy of the childe of God that is indeed iustified by Faith in the blood of Christ doth increase in tribulation yea euen in the greatest trials such doe glory as it is written We glory in Tribulation b Rom. 5.3 And Iames also biddeth vs To account it all Ioy when wee fall into diuers Temptations c Iam. 1.2 Also Peter speaketh of this Ioy where speaking of manifold Temptations yet wee reioyce greatly in them all in the consideration of the liuely Hope and neuer fading inheritance which wee beleeue is laide vp for vs and shall be reuealed in the last time d 1. Pet. 1.5.6 We are as sorrowfull yet alway reioycing e 2. Cor. 6.10 This appeareth plainely in the examples of such Redeemed ones As the blessed Apostles when they were beaten departed from the Counsell reioycing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for Christs name f Act. 5.41 So Paul and Silas when they were cruelly beaten and had receiued many stripes and were cast into prison yea thrust into the inner prison and their feete made fast in the stockes yet at midnight they prayed and sang praises vnto God so loude that the prisoners heard them g Act. 16.22.33.24.25 Thus hauing laid down some differences betweene the Ioy of Hypocrites and of the Saints as that their Ioy is but for a moment ours is euerlasting their Ioy doth exalt and lift them vp ours doth humble and cast vs downe theirs is seuered from Peace and Rest ours accompanied with them both theirs failes them when tribulation commeth ours holdes out nay which is more encreaseth in the most sharpe and fiery Trials And by this the false Ioy of the Hypocrite being discouered the true Ioy of the Saints is clearely seene Which Ioy doth so comfort them as that it is truely saide of them That the voyce of reioycing and saluation is in the dwellings of the Righteous h Ps 118.15 These are euer singing making melody in their hearts vnto the Lord. Speaking to themselues in Psalmes and Hymnes and spirituall songs i Ephes 5.19 singing with Grace in their hearts vnto the Lord k Col. 3.16 So we read of the hūdred fourty foure thousand that were with the Lambe on mount Sion that they had the voyces of harpers harping with harpes and they sang as it were a new song before the Throne and before the foure Beastes and the Elders and no man could heare that song but the hundred fourty and ●ure thousand which were neuer ●edeemed from the Earth l Reuel 14.1.2.3 Also ●hen the Lambe had taken the ●ooke out of the hand of him that ●te vpon the Throne hauing also ●reuailed to open the seuen seales ●hereof wee reade that the foure ●eastes and the foure and twentie ●lders fell down before the Lambe ●auing euery one of them harpes ●nd golden Vials full of Odours which are the Prayers of Saintes And they sung a new song saying Thou art worthy to take the Booke ●nd to open the Seales therof for thou vast slaine and hast Redeemed vs ●o God by thy blood out of euery ●indred and tongue and people and nation And hast made vs vnto our God Kings and Priests and we shall reigne on earth m Reu. 5.8 Also Iohn saith I saw as it were a Sea of Glasse mingled with fire and them that had got●en the victory ouer the Beast and ouer his Image and ouer his mark● and ouer the number of his Nam● stand on the Sea of Glasse hauin● the Harpes of God And they sing th● Song of Moses the seruant of God and the song of the Lambe saying Great and maruellous are thy worke Lord God Almighty Iust and true are thy wayes thou King of Saints who shall not feare thee O Lord an● glorifie thy Name for thou onely ar● holy for
