A50858	A beame of light darted thorough [sic] the clouds, or, Truth breaking forth from under a veil by Joshua Miller.	Miller, Joshua, 17th cent.	1650 (1650)	Wing M2062; ESTC R35047	30,283	75

saint_n i_o judge_v that_o all_o punishment_n for_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o word_n be_v take_v away_o only_o a_o love_a correction_n whether_o god_n castigate_v for_o sin_n or_o from_o sin_n i_o have_v a_o latitude_n in_o my_o judgement_n to_o suppose_v both_o may_v be_v true_a and_o i_o believe_v that_o christ_n never_o so_o satisfy_v god_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o correct_v his_o people_n for_o christ_n death_n do_v not_o at_o all_o extend_v to_o that_o particular_a when_o christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n pray_v he_o exhort_v they_o to_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n now_o if_o they_o need_v not_o to_o ask_v pardon_n in_o this_o sense_n why_o be_v this_o petition_n include_v so_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o saint_n by_o the_o first_o word_n say_v our_o father_n now_o in_o what_o sense_n this_o prayer_n may_v mean_v we_o shall_v ask_v pardon_n i_o answer_v only_o as_o to_o a_o father_n and_o no_o otherwise_o so_o john_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n 1_o john_n 1.9_o why_o be_v not_o sin_n forgive_v before_o yea_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n but_o this_o confession_n and_o pardon_n be_v only_o under_o a_o fatherly_a relation_n yet_o hereby_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o our_o prayer_n make_v any_o change_n in_o god_n will_n but_o rather_o in_o pray_v god_n do_v manifest_a what_o he_o will_v do_v to_o we_o and_o for_o we_o so_o than_o i_o judge_v that_o a_o christian_n ought_v not_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o a_o judge_n for_o pardon_n but_o may_v consider_v he_o as_o a_o father_n chap._n v._o whether_o this_o visible_a world_n shall_v be_v destroy_v or_o change_v and_o how_o god_n from_o age_n to_o age_n bring_v forth_o some_o old_a truth_n as_o new_a unto_o the_o world_n therefore_o let_v not_o the_o reader_n stumble_v if_o he_o find_v that_o here_o which_o may_v at_o present_a be_v contrary_a to_o most_o man_n judgement_n for_o that_o opinion_n of_o some_o that_o say_v the_o world_n be_v judge_v already_o in_o the_o saint_n in_o some_o respect_n be_v true_a to_o he_o that_o live_v in_o spirit_n but_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o that_o i_o leave_v the_o end_n to_o try_v all_o thing_n my_o discourse_n shall_v only_o be_v of_o this_o question_n whether_o this_o visible_a frame_n of_o thing_n shall_v be_v destroy_v or_o change_v which_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o godly_a man_n which_o i_o say_v not_o that_o i_o will_v resolve_v but_o only_a hint_n at_o it_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v manifest_v in_o i_o first_o that_o this_o visible_a world_n shall_v be_v destroy_v by_o material_a sire_n as_o some_o place_n seem_v to_o allow_v as_o 2_o pet._n 3.7_o where_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v keep_v in_o store_n reserve_v unto_o fire_n some_o think_v that_o as_o the_o old_a world_n be_v destroy_v with_o water_n so_o the_o anti-type_n must_v be_v like_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v destroy_v by_o fire_n a_o argument_n for_o this_o opinion_n may_v be_v thus_o frame_v fire_n be_v a_o element_n strong_a and_o fierce_a therefore_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v tangible_a by_o it_o may_v be_v consume_v but_o the_o visible_a world_n have_v matter_n fit_a for_o fire_n to_o feed_v upon_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v burn_v but_o this_o argument_n be_v more_o logical_a than_o theological_a and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o heaven_n be_v not_o matter_n for_o fire_n but_o rather_o fight_v against_o it_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a chapter_n the_o heaven_n be_v on_o fire_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n that_o as_o fire_n consume_v all_o stubble_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o utter_a consummation_n so_o in_o 2_o thes_n 1.8_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o flame_a fire_n take_v vengeance_n some_o from_o these_o place_n conclude_v that_o it_o will_v be_v material_a fire_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v burn_v up_o now_o to_o answer_v these_o place_n there_o be_v some_o scripture_n that_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o utter_a desolation_n and_o if_o i_o err_v consider_v with_o thyself_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a i_o may_v ask_v whether_o those_o former_a place_n speak_v of_o fire_n in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n and_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n and_o no_o more_o that_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o fire_n be_v to_o purge_v and_o purify_v dross_n out_o of_o metal_n and_o it_o sudden_o burn_v up_o all_o combustible_a matter_n so_o this_o may_v note_v the_o suddenness_n of_o that_o change_n and_o that_o it_o will_v purge_v the_o world_n of_o its_o dross_n and_o for_o the_o haven_n melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n it_o may_v point_v this_o to_o we_o that_o they_o shall_v melt_v so_o as_o wax_n do_v by_o the_o candle_n where_o it_o be_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o make_v pliable_a to_o receive_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o scale_n so_o the_o heaven_n may_v thus_o be_v say_v to_o melt_v that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o change_v from_o those_o corrupt_a quality_n that_o be_v in_o it_o not_o of_o the_o substance_n it_o shall_v receive_v the_o deep_a impression_n of_o god_n image_n and_o glory_n now_o to_o illustrate_v this_o that_o there_o will_v only_o be_v a_o change_n 2_o pet._n 3.13_o nevertheless_o we_o look_v for_o a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n this_o seem_v to_o allow_v that_o only_o the_o corruption_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o righteousness_n they_o shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o into_o a_o state_n of_o purity_n free_v from_o bondage_n non_fw-la per_fw-la interitum_fw-la pristinorum_fw-la sed_fw-la commutationem_fw-la in_o melius_fw-la not_o by_o a_o destruction_n of_o the_o old_a but_o by_o a_o change_n into_o a_o better_a so_o david_n speak_v psal_n 102.26_o the_o heaven_n shall_v wax_v old_a as_o a_o garment_n as_o a_o vesture_n shall_v thou_o change_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v he_o say_v not_o here_o destroy_v they_o now_o the_o change_v a_o thing_n be_v a_o convert_v the_o same_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n and_o the_o allusion_n seem_v to_o be_v strange_a that_o as_o a_o vesture_n when_o change_v be_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o refine_v dress_v the_o best_a side_n outward_a so_o the_o world_n have_v at_o present_a corruption_n cover_v it_o as_o a_o garment_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v into_o a_o better_a state_n for_o if_o david_n word_n hold_v true_a than_o it_o must_v be_v change_v but_o not_o destroy_v and_o indeed_o the_o worst_a side_n of_o the_o world_n be_v now_o outward_a since_o adam_n fall_n but_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o this_o change_n will_v be_v by_o material_a fire_n or_o whether_o fire_n in_o those_o place_n be_v a_o figurative_a speech_n for_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o this_o change_n i_o may_v have_v some_o ground_n to_o suppose_v the_o contrary_a but_o will_v leave_v this_o to_o the_o end_n which_o try_v all_o thing_n some_o have_v convert_v these_o scripture_n into_o other_o mysterious_a sense_n and_o i_o judge_v a_o spiritual_a use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o all_o thing_n yet_o let_v none_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o to_o bind_v one_o sense_n upon_o such_o place_n as_o these_o be_v for_o some_o scripture_n have_v both_o a_o literal_a and_o a_o spiritual_a meaning_n under_o they_o for_o instance_n where_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o raise_v the_o dead_a cleanse_v the_o leper_n heal_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o like_a no_o man_n can_v true_o deny_v but_o that_o christ_n do_v fulfil_v this_o in_o the_o letter_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n

conceive_v pleasant_a divine_a joy_n move_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o earthly_a joy_n do_v but_o only_o pitch_v upon_o a_o high_a object_n these_o two_o way_n divine_a joy_n manifest_v itself_o to_o we_o first_o union_n be_v the_o principal_a conduit-pipe_n through_o which_o this_o joy_n proceed_v a_o soul_n unite_v to_o the_o lord_n have_v all_o from_o he_o what_o a_o ocean_n of_o joy_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n with_o that_o appropriate_a title_n god_n be_v i_o for_o all_o true_a joy_n flow_v as_o natural_o from_o this_o as_o the_o river_n run_v from_o the_o sea_n and_o indeed_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n misery_n in_o earth_n arise_v from_o a_o notknowing_a himself_n unite_v to_o the_o lord_n by_o one_o spirit_n for_o this_o union_n be_v much_o more_o glorious_a than_o any_o relation_n on_o earth_n and_o carry_v all_o sweetness_n and_o delight_n with_o it_o the_o knot_n of_o union_n be_v tie_v so_o strong_a by_o divine_a love_n that_o what_o ever_o be_v god_n pleasure_n can_v never_o be_v a_o saint_n pain_n propriety_n give_v life_n to_o a_o cause_n when_o a_o soul_n can_v say_v god_n and_o all_o in_o he_o be_v i_o and_o for_o i_o what_o joy_n do_v you_o think_v it_o will_v produce_v then_o second_o possession_n add_v much_o to_o a_o divine_a joy_n thus_o faith_n do_v give_v the_o soul_n a_o possession_n of_o he_o who_o possess_v all_o thing_n until_o a_o man_n have_v possession_n in_o his_o own_o land_n he_o can_v never_o full_o rejoice_v for_o this_o aggravate_v my_o joy_n when_o i_o have_v so_o much_o as_o at_o my_o command_n good_a old_a simeon_n when_o he_o have_v embrace_v christ_n in_o the_o arm_n of_o faith_n then_o for_o joy_n desire_v to_o die_v that_o he_o may_v full_o possess_v he_o thus_o a_o soul_n when_o enjoy_v christ_n in_o the_o arm_n of_o faith_n his_o sorrow_n be_v go_v what_o joy_n be_v there_o for_o the_o lose_a prodigal_n when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o his_o father_n house_n as_o in_o outward_a delight_n those_o of_o

to_o this_o glorious_a object_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o lock_v up_o of_o divine_a joy_n but_o it_o run_v forth_o as_o the_o father_n to_o meet_v the_o lose_a prodigal_n the_o nature_n of_o this_o joy_n as_o one_o say_v be_v like_o the_o water_n of_o esculapius_n his_o well_o which_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o putrefaction_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o where_o the_o soul_n joy_n in_o

at_o thy_o right_a hand_n be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o now_o the_o excellency_n of_o divine_a joy_n further_o appear_v in_o two_o thing_n 1._o first_o it_o behold_v life_n in_o eternity_n for_o in_o all_o natural_a thing_n joy_n do_v arise_v from_o some_o kind_n of_o life_n or_o motion_n eternal_a life_n be_v the_o womb_n of_o divine_a joy_n that_o first_o bring_v it_o forth_o and_o be_v the_o nurse_n that_o feed_v it_o and_o strengthen_v it_o therefore_o when_o the_o soul_n right_o understand_v that_o it_o shall_v live_v with_o the_o lord_n the_o spirit_n be_v exalt_v to_o satiate_v itself_o upon_o life_n on_o the_o contrary_a take_v a_o man_n that_o know_v not_o this_o life_n for_o the_o most_o part_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v he_o be_v sad_a despair_a for_o death_n natural_o produce_v sorrow_n as_o life_n do_v joy_n therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o joy_n in_o heaven_n at_o the_o conversion_n of_o one_o sinner_n then_o of_o ninety_o nine_o that_o need_v no_o repentance_n to_o intimate_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o joy_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n raise_v to_o life_n be_v much_o increase_v by_o the_o difficulty_n it_o meet_v with_o in_o conquer_a death_n 2._o second_o divine_a joy_n transport_v the_o soul_n beyond_o a_o fear_n of_o suffer_v nay_o the_o soul_n thus_o set_v upon_o glory_n rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n itself_o col._n 1.11_o therefore_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v now_o affliction_n be_v a_o evil_a not_o to_o be_v desire_v yet_o consider_v the_o event_n all_o suffering_n that_o they_o make_v way_n for_o a_o great_a glory_n thus_o a_o saint_n in_o divine_a joy_n see_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o suffering_n and_o as_o a_o woman_n in_o travail_n forget_v her_o pain_n for_o joy_n that_o a_o manchild_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n so_o divine_a joy_n snatch_v up_o the_o soul_n above_o all_o earthly_a burden_n as_o some_o martyr_n sing_v in_o the_o fire_n m._n philpot_n say_v the_o world_n wonder_v how_o we_o can_v be_v so_o merry_a in_o such_o misery_n but_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n turn_v our_o misery_n into_o felicity_n so_o vincentius_n laugh_v at_o the_o torture_n lay_v upon_o he_o say_v they_o be_v his_o jocularia_fw-la &_o ludicra_fw-la matter_n of_o sport_n and_o pastine_fw-fr to_o he_o now_o another_o reason_n why_o saint_n joy_v in_o suffering_n be_v christ_n go_v as_o a_o pattern_n before_o we_o heb._n 12.2_o who_o for_o the_o joy_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n despise_v the_o shame_n old_a latimer_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a promotion_n god_n give_v in_o this_o world_n thus_o a_o soul_n in_o divine_a joy_n call_v death_n no_o more_o marah_n but_o naomi_n a_o man_n in_o heavenly_a joy_n we_o may_v ask_v he_o quid_fw-la agis_fw-la but_o may_v as_o well_o draw_v in_o all_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o world_n as_o tell_v what_o a_o saint_n be_v about_o not_o that_o there_o be_v want_n of_o word_n but_o want_v in_o word_n to_o express_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v unspeakable_a joy_n 1_o pet._n 1.8_o not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v speak_v of_o it_o but_o we_o can_v describe_v the_o dimension_n of_o this_o joy_n thus_o far_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o divine_a joy_n a_o encouragement_n to_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o bird_n while_o prison_v in_o
