Liberty whereby Christ hath made you free c. Where the Apostle still goes on arguing the cause and reasons of the matter with them and saith he Gal. 3.2 this would I learn of you onely ye received the spirit by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith are ye so foolish having begun in the spirit are ye now made perfect by the flesh have ye suffered so many things in vaine if it be but in vaine he therefore that ministreth unto you the spirit and worketh miracles among you doth he it by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith Rom. 10.3 for the being ignorant of Gods righteousnesse and going about to establish their own righteousnesse have not submitted themselves to the righteousnesse of God Gal 2.16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but by the faith of Jesus Christ Even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith in Christ and not by the workes of the Law for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified Read further in the said Chapter and ye shall see that the Saints are delivered from the Bondage of the Law into the glorious Liberty of the Sons of God Gal. 4.4.5 so I say they are at Liberty 2 Cor. 5.19 to wit that God is in Christ reconciling the World unto himselfe not imputing their crespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation so this is the glorious Liberty the Saints so reconciled unto God in Christ and this speakes comfort unto the Saints of God that they should so redound in glory for which cause saith he we faint not but though our outward man perish yet the inward man is renewed day by day this is that which carries on the Saints so cheerfully for saith he our light afflictions which is but for a moment worketh for us a farr more weight of glory therefore though the Saints of God suffer in this Life yet their Liberty is a glorious Liberty Rom. 8.21 and they shall be restored into the glorious Liberty of the Sons of God Phil. 3.21 so we see the Saints have Liberty in this Life and in the Life to come We are not onely brought out of Bondage but we are brought out of darknesse into light 1 Thes 5.4.5 but ye brethren are not in darknesse that that day should overtake you as a thiefe ye are all the Children of light and the Children of the day we are not of the night nor of darknesse Againe John 1.9 Christ is the light of the world Psal 36.9 in thy light shall we see light this is a glorious state it is a glorious Liberty but those that are without Christ are in a sad condition they are in bondage under the Law as I said before and they walke in dorknesse knowing not whither they go Alas how soone is their candle out as you may see Job 18.5 how soone is the candle of the wicked put out John 12.35 and Mat. 6.23 To follow the words stand fast in that Liberty as this Liberty is such a Liberty that we who were the children of sathan are by Christ become the Children of God we who were dead in trespasses and sins hath he quickned we who in time past walked according to the course of this world Ephes 2.1 2 3 4 5. And so throughout the Chapter all along setting forth the love of God and the free grace of Christ unto his Saints who were in Bondage under the yoake of sin wounded and lay bleeding between Jerusalem and Jericho Christ was that good Samaritan that bound up our wounds powring in Oyle and wine for the suppling of our griefes so in Ezekiell 16.5 when no eye pittied thee to do any of these unto thee to have compassion upon thee but thou wast cast out in the open field to the loathing of thy person in the day that thou was borne and when that I passed by thee and saw thee polluted in thine own Blood I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood live in the seven and eight verses and so forward Now when I passed by thee and looked upon thee behold thy time was the time of love and I spread my skirt over thee and covered thy nakednesse yea I sware unto thee and entred into a Covenant with thee saith the Lord God and thou becamest mine then washed I thee with water yea I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee and I annointed thee with Oyle thus the Prophet goes on felling out unto us the love and free grace of Christ Notwithstanding Jsrael had played the whore with the Assirians because thou walt unsatiable yea thou hast plaid the harlot with them and yet couldest not be satisfied at the 28. verse thus when we were in misery and in distresse when no eye pittied us then was the time of love so when we were going away from God and after other lovers then he allured us Hosea 2.14 so the love of Christ out-bid all other lovers Is it so that Christ is so our Liberty that all that do believe in him he hath fulfilled the Law for them and taken away the curse from them this may instruct us to take notice of this Bondage that every man is in by being under the Law it is a miserable thing we all by nature are borne slaves under the Bondage of sin and sathan but from this hath Christ delivered his people and in respect of this deliverance it is glorious and honourable as in all times when God delivered his people he doth it with honour so when God delivered his Children out of Egypt it was with honour in the face of all the world so Christ delivering us from sin and from sathan how glorious was it even when he being on the cross did on that cross by his death triumph over the divel and over his Kingdome by the powring out of his blood he did work a most glorious deliverance to the delivered of slaves men were made the servants of God of bond-men adopted to be his Children this Bondage which the Apostle speakes of here is a Bondage under the Law and under Ceremonies you may see Col. 2.8 Beware lest any man spoyle you through Philosophy and vaine deceit after the traditions of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ when they do bind them to humain Ordinances it is a leading of them captive from Christ are ye allured then let this be instructions to you Hath Christ delivered you from bondage and set you at Liberty and hath he fulfilled the Law for you and taken away the curse of the Law from you art thou allured and art thou brought to Christ hast thou taken Christ for thy way to the Father how comes it then to passe that thou art subject to humaine Ordinances this shews that you have no part in Christ so long as you are subject to humaine Ordinances for
