saith that Christ shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things vnto himselfe Q. Proue that the godly shall haue fulnesse of ioy A. So much the Pasmist noteth speaking prophetically of Christ and of himselfe as the type and so proportionally of all the faithfull Psal. 16.11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life in thy presence is fulnesse of ioy at thy right hand there are pleasures for euer more Q. Proue there are degrees of glory A. We may gather so much by the words of the Prophet Dan. 12.3 They that are wise saith he shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament and they that turne many to righteousneâ—â—e as the Staâ—res And 1 Cor. 15.41 Aâ— onâ— Starre differeth from another in glory so also is the resurrection of the dead Againe wee read Luk. 19.16 c. that the seruant who with his Masters piece of mony had gained ten peâ—ces was made rulâ—r ouer ten cities and hee thâ—t had gained fiue had authority giuen him ouer fiue Thus the Lord doth proportion the reward according to the mâ—asâ—re and imployment of his graces giuen vnto vs. Therefore the Apostle saith 2 Cor. 9.6 Hee that soweth sparingly shall reape sparingly and he that soweth bountifully shall reape bountifully Q. Proue that this happinesse of the godly is vnspeakable A. It is said 1 Pet. 1.8 that the faithfull reioyce with ioy vnspeakable and full of glory And 1 Cor. 2.9 Eye hath not seene nor eare heard neither haue entred into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for them that loue him Q. Proue that this happinesse is eternall A. The Apostle affirmeth so much 2 Cor. 4.17 in that hee saith That our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for vs a â—arre more exceeding and eternall weight of glory and 1 Pet. 1.4 it is called an inheritance incorruptible and vndefiled and that fadeth not away reserued in heauen for vs and therefore it is said 2 Tim. 1.10 That our Sauiour Iesus Christ hath abolished death and not onely brought life but immortalitie to light Q. Proue that it stands with the certainty of Gods electâ—on A. The godly caâ—not faile of this their happinesse because it is grounded vpon Gods election see 2 Tim. 2.19 The foundation of God standeth sure hauing this seale The Lord knoweth them that are his and Rom. 8.30 S. Paul groundeth mans glorification vpon Gods predestination and election Whom God did predestinate them he also called whom hee called them hee also iustified and whom he iustified them hee also glorified Q. Proue that it stands with the truth of Gods promise A. Christ saith of his sheepe Ioh. 10.28 I giue vnto them eternall life and they shall neuer perish neither shall any plucke them out of my hand and Ioh. 3.16 That whoseuer beleeueth in him shall not perish but haue euerlasting life and Râ—u 2.10 Be thou faithfull vnto the death and I will giue thee the crowne of life Q. Pâ—oue that it stands with the iustice of God A. It is manifest that it stands with the iustice of God for the merit of Christ in regard that he hath purchased mans saluation by his death 1 Cor. 6.20 and 7.23 Yee are bought with a price and 1 Pet. 1.18.19 the price is said to be not siluer and gold but the precious bloud of Christ therefore it is said 1 Tim. 2.6 That Christ gaue himselfe a ransome for all men Q. Proue that thus eternall life becomes the reward of the faithfull A. Eternall life becomes a reward to the faithfull and that of due debt in respect of the merit of Christ which is meerely in him and not in vs For God hath made him to be sinne for vs who knew no sinne that wee might bee made the righteousnesse of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 But in respect of vs who can merit nothing because our workeâ— â—re imperfect it is a reward of fauour and not of debt as the Apostle reasoneth Rom. 4.4.5 To him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace but of debt but to him that worketh not but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vâ—godly his faith is counted for righteousnesse Thus of the free grace and mercy of God and for the merit of Christ euery good worke shall haue a reward Math. 5.12 and 6.4 6. and 10.41.42 Q. Proue that then all the sorrowes of the godly shall be turned into ioy A. So did Christ foretell his Disciples and in them all gooâ— Christians Ioh. 16.20 Ye shall weep and lament and the world shall reioyce and ye shall sorrow but your sorrow shall bee turned into ioy And in that regard he pronounceth the godly happy Luk. 6.21 Blessed are yee that weepe now for yee shall laugh Q. To conclude what doe we owe vnto God for so great a blessing A We doe owe and are bound with the Apostle Col. 1.12.13 To giue thankes vnto the Father who hath made vs meete to bee partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse and hath translated vs into the kingdom of his deare Sonne And therefore we all with one heart say as it is in Iud. 24.25 Now vnto him that is able to keepe vs that we fall not and to present vs faultlesse before the presence of his glory with ioy that is To God onely wise our Sauiour be glory and Maiestie and Dominion and Power both now and for euer Amen FINIS Rom. 2.20 2 Tim. 1.13 Heb. 5.12 Heb. 6.1 Heb. 5.13.14 Psal. 32.8 1 Cor. 3. â—0 a Pro. 3 6. 1 Chro. 28.9 b Deu. 29.29 Ro. 15.4 c Io. 17.3 2 Thes. 1.8 d 2 Tim. 3.15 Io. 5.39 e Deu. 6.4 Isa. 44.6 f 1 Cor. 8.4.5.6 Eph. 4.5.6 g Eph. 2.12 1 Co. 10.20 h Iam. 2.19 i 1 Io. 5.7 k Luk 3.21.22 l Math. 28. m 2 Cor. 13.14 n 1 Cor. 8.6 Ro. 11.36 o Psal. 22.7 Ioh. 1.14 p Io. 15.26 q Eph. 4.6 1 Cor. 15.24 Io. 1.1 1 Io. 5.20 Act. 5.3.4 r 1 Io. 5.7 s Io. 1.2 and 17.5 Gen. 1.2 t Psal. 2.6 1 Cor. 12.4.5.6.11 u Psal 90.2 1 Tim. â— 17 x Ier. 23.22.24 Psal 139 7. y Iam 1.17 Mal. 3.6 z Col. 1. â—5 Io. 4.24 a Ge. 17.1 Reu 15.3 b Ps. 147.5 c Isaiah 6.3 1 Pet. 1.15 d Math 19.17 Psal 145.9 e Psal. 145.8.9 Iam. 5.11 f Due 3 2.4 Psal. 145.17 g Exod. 34.6 h 1 Tim. 6.16 Exod. 33.18 c. i Gen. 1.1 Act. 17.24 Col. 1.16 k Ps. 33.6 and 148.5 l Heb. 11.3 m Gen. 1.31 Exo. 20.11 n Gen. 1.31 o Ps. 100.3 p Heb. 3.4 q Ps. 5.4 Iam. 1.17 r Pro. 15 3 Matth. 10.29.30 Ps. 135.6 s Ps. 36.6 and 145.15 t Iob. 1.11 and 2.5 Mat. 8 3â— u Io 19.11 Act. 4 27. x Act. 1.7.25.28 Ps. 119.91 Deu.
and faith worketh outwardly by the word as by an instrument and inwardly by his spirit Q QValities of faith inseparable vnto it are these to vnite vs to God in Christ. to assure vs of Gods loue in him to purifie the heart and to worke by loue For vntill we beleeue wee are without God without Christ and without hope but when once wee beleeue wee haue peace with God and cannot but be fruitfull in all good workes R REmember that faith and so all other graces are increased and confirmed by the hearing of the word of God preached as also by reading meditation conference practise prayer and Sacraments For as God requireth of euery Christian a daily increase of grace so he hath appointed these meanes to that end S SAcraments are outward visible signes of the couenant and promise of God in Christ ordained by Christ himselfe to signifie and to seale or confirme and as instruments or meanes to conuay sauing grace to euery true beleeuer and to bee as badges or tokens of our Christian profession And they are in number onely two namely Baptisme and the Lords Supper For such helpes our weake faith doth require and these only hath Christ ordained and no more being answerable to the two Sacraments vnder the Law that is Circumcision and the Passouer and are alone in that kinde sufficient both for the beginning and continuing of sitting grace T THe sacrament of Baptisme is when the persons baptized professing repentance and faith in Iesus Christ and the children of such are by the Minister of the word washed with water in the name of the Father the sonne and the holy Ghost being thereby admitted into the communion of the body of Christ which is the Church assured of the remission of their sinnes do vow and promise and are by Baptisme confirmed in grace to beleeue in Iesus Christ and to liue no more in sinne but in newnesse of life For Baptisme is the signe of our regeneration or new birth and therefore is once onely to bee receiued as it is sufficient to be once borâ—e and yet the virtue of Baptisme is perpetuall V VNderstand that the Sacrament of the Lords Supper is when bread and wine representing the body and blood of Christ broken and shed for vs being by the Minister taken and blessed is broken and poured forth and so deliuered to all the faithfull prâ—sent and of them receiued by eating the bread and drinking the wine in remembrance of Christs death as also to communicate vnto vs the very body and blood of Christ spiritually by faith and so to confirme our faith in Christ and loue one to another For this Sacrament is the signe of our new life as Baptisme is of our new birth And therefore as we haue neede of often nourishment so wee ought to receiue often and that with due preparation W WE must know and beleeue that all men dying the soules of the godly goe immediatly to heuenly ioy the wicked to hell torments and all of them shall at the last day rise againe in their owne bodyes by the power of Christ the godly to life eternall the wicked to euerlasting damnation For Christ came to destroy death for vs and is himselfe risen from death that wee might rise with him and if there were no resurrection the preaching of the word and our faith should bee in vaine X EXCeeding glorious in it selfe ioyous to the godly and fearfull to the wicked shall be the day of iudgement wherein Christ shâ—ll call to account and iudge all men of all things done in thiâ— life according to theâ—r works For he shall come with glory in the clouds accompanied with innumerable Angels and sitting vpon his throne of Maiestie shall vpon due triall of euery mans workes the bookes being opened pronounce the sentence of saluation to the Godly and of damnation to the wicked Y YOu that are wicked shall by the power of the voyce of Christ goe away into hell being separated from God consorted with the Deuils depriued of all comfort punished with vnspeakable torments both in soule and body according to your sins and that eternally without case or end For it is iust with God so to punish the wicked and that they who haue liued heere in the pleasures of sinne should be recompenced with answerable torment Z ZEalous godly men the iudgement being ended shall immediatly goe with Christ into heauen hauing in him immediate communion with God who shall be all in all vnto them and so shall be freed from all euills and possessed of all good things as perfection of grace brightnes of glory and fulnesse of ioy in their seuerall degrees and that vnspeakable and euerlasting For it stands with the certainty of Gods election with the truth of his promise and with his iustice for the merit of Christ thus to reward the faithfull that so all their sorrowes may bee turned into ioy THE SECOND PART of the Christian ALPHABET Containing The grounds of knowledge repeated by way of Question and Answer with the proofe of euery particular point of Doctrine A Of the knowledge of God in Generall Q. Rehearse the first Letter of the Christian Alphabet that is the Letter A. A. ACknowledge God as hee hath reuealed himselfe in his written word For no man can bee saued without the knowledge of God neither can a man know God to saluation but by the Scriptures Q. How proue you that there is a God to bee acknowledged A. That there is a God to bee acknowledged of all is euident both by the light of nature and of grace as also by the workes of God Q. How may it appeare by the light of nature that there is a God A. It is manifest by these euidences 1. Because in the very Heathen there is the worke of the conscience 2. Because they haue by naturall instinct an inclination to some kinde of Religion 3. In that they haue the vse of an Oath 4. In that they make obseruation of GODS vengeance against sinne Q. Proue that in the Heathen there is the worke of the conscience A. The Apostle doth affirme so much Rom. 2.15 That the Gentiles shew the worke of the Law written in their hearts their conscience also bearing witnesse and their thoughts the meane while accusing or excusing one another This worke of the conscience is a manifest euidence that there is a God who is aboue the conscience according to that in 1 Ioh. 3.20 If our heart condemne vs
with more stripes then sinnes of ignorance Luk. 12.47.48 and hypocrites receiue the greater damnation Math. 23.14 Q. Proue their torments shall be eternall without ease or end A. The torments of the wicked in hell shall continue without ease or end to all eternitie as the Salamander burning in the middest of the fire and not consuming therefore hell torment is called Math 25.41.46 Euerlasting fire and euerlasting punishment and 2 Thes. 1 9. euerlasting destruction and it is said Râ—u 20.10 That they shall be tormented day and night for euer and euer And it is agreeable to the rule of iustice because the sinne committed is against an infinite and eternall Maiestie Q. Proue that it is iust with God so to punish A. The Apostle speaking of the day of iudgement 2 Thes. 1.6 saith it is a iust thing with God to recompence And Ro. 2.5 that day is called the day of the declaration of the righteous iudgement of God Therefore it is said Luk. 16.25 Remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures and likewise Lazarus paines Now therefore is he comforted and thou art tormented And hence it is that Christ saith Luk. 6.25 Woe vnto you that now laugh for ye shall mourne and weepe Z Of the execution of the sentence of saluation Q. Rehearse the Letter Z A. ZEalous godly men the iudgement being ended shal immediatly goe with Christ into heauen hauing in him immediate communion with God who shall be all in all vnto them and so shall be freed from all euills and possessed of all good things as perfection of grace brightnesse of glory and fulnesse of ioy in their seuerall degrees and that vnspeakable and euerlasting For it stands with the certainty of Gods election with the truth of his promise and with his iustice for the merit of Christ thus to reward the faithfull that so all their sorrowes may bee turned into ioy Q. Proue that the godly shall immediatly go with Christ into heauen A. It is the first part of the execution of the sentence of saluation as we may see Matth. 25. if wee conferre verse 34. with 46. For when Christ had said Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdome prepared for you it is added accordingly that the righteous shall goe into life eternall as vpon the contrary sentence of damnation the wicked are to goe into euerlasting paine and that immediately Q. Proue that they haue immediate communion with God A. In this life the faythfull behold God and after a sort enioy his presence by certaine meanes as the word Sacraments and the like but in the life to come they shall haue immediate communion with him Therefore it is said 1 Cor. 13.12 Now wee see through a glasse darkâ—ly but then face to face now I know in part but then shall I know euen as also I am knowne And 1 Thes. 4.17 that the faithfull shall bee caught vp together in the clouds to meete the Lord in the ayre and so shall euer be with the Lord. According to the prayer of Christ for the vnion and communion of the faithfull with God in him axd through his mediation Ioh. 17.21 That they may be all one as thou O Father art in me and I in thee that they also may bee one in vs. Q. Proue that God shall be all in all vnto them A. The blessed estate of the godly shall bee such in the Kingdome of heauen that they shall need no such meanes or helps as here in this world they cannot be without but hauing communion with God and enioying his presence they shall in him haue supply of all for he shall bee all in all that is in stead of all vnto them They are the expresse words of the Apostle 1 Cor. 15.28 that all things shall bee subdued vnto him that God may be all in all And therefore in spirituall helpes there shall be no want Reu. 21.22 There is no temple for the Lord God almighty and the Lambe are the temple of it Againe there shall be no want of temporall meanes Reu. 21.23 no need of candle Sunne or Moone for the glory of God doth lighten it and the Lambe is the light of it There is the riuer of water of life there is the tree of life Reu. 22.1.2 Q. Proue that the godly shall be there freed from all euills A. Here in this world the euills and afflictions that the faithfull endure are great and many but in the life to come they shall be deliuered out of them all as it is said Reu. 21.4 God shall wipe away all teares from their eyes and there shall bee no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more paine for the former things are passed away Q. Proue that they shall be possessed of all good things A. The godly shall there enioy whatsoeuer good thing may tend to their happinesse So that whereas in this life the graces of God are imperfect in them there they shall haue perfection of grace Whereas here they are obscured in so much that it doth not appeare what they are in the life to come they shall haue brightnesse of glory and whereas in this world they are filled with sorrowes there they shall possesse all fulnesse of ioy Q. How shall they haue perfection of grace A. First they shall haue perfection of knowledge see 1 Cor. 3.12 Now wee see as through a glasse darkely but then face to â—ace now I know in part but then shall I know euen as I am knowne Secondly they shall haue perfection of sanctity or holinesse see Ephes. 5.26.27 where it is said that Christ gaue himselfe for his Church that hee might sanctifie and clense it that he might present it to himâ—selfe a glorious Church not hauing spot or wrinckle or aâ—y such thing but that it should be holy and without blemâ—sh Which â—erfâ—ctioâ— wâ—e knoâ— canâ—ot be â—â—thâ— life Thirdly they shall haue 〈◊〉 sloâ—e in which respect loue is for the continuance of it preferred before faith and hope 1 Cor. 13.13 Now abideth faith hope and loue euen these three but the chiefe of these is loue Q. Shew that the godly shall haue brightnesse of glory A. Secondly they shall haue brightnesse of glory The Apostle telleth the faithfull Col. 3.4 Your life is hid with Christ in God when Christ which is our life shall appeare then shall yee also appeare with him in glory Dan. 12.3 it is said that they shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament and as the Starres for euer and euer And Matth. 13.43 Then shall the iust men shine as the Sunne in the kingdome of their father Q. In what part of man shall this glory be A. The whole man both soule and body shall bee thus glorious in the life to come The soule for it is said Matth. 22.30 that they shall be as the Angels of God in heauen In body for the Apostle
