more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory Oh the Dimenssons of this glory 't is glory and 't is a weight of glory and 't is an exceeding weight of glory nay 't is a weight of glory that will last as long as eternity For 't is an eternal weight of Glory 2 Cor. 4.17 'T is not short that will soon begone neither is it a light and fethery thing like the things of this world that the wind will blow away but 't is a weight that will outweigh all that ever we met with in our way to it You shall have joy unspeakable and full of glory 1 Pet. 1.8 There are things unspeakable here we cannot see nor are we able to utter the unspeakable things that are above we cannot see the beauty and that splendour of the Majesty of God I might ask you whether you do believe Blessed are they that have believed and have not seen but Faith is the evidence of things not seen If thou believest thou shalt see greater things then these greater things then these earthly drossy things nay be they the best things thou canst imagine thou shalt see greater things John 1.50 For thou shalt see God Thou shalt see him as he is see him thou wilt say I see him now in his Creation and Providence and all his great and wonderful works I but thou shalt see him as he is that is as he is in his glory Alas his glory is vailed now but thou shall see him as he is in his glory 1 John 3.2 Alas now we can only see him in the glass of his Word and dispensations but then Face to Face 1 Cor. 13.12 Ah soul to be in and to see the presence of God is a Heaven on Earth nay more it would be a Heaven in Hell Oh what a transporting sight would it be to see the Vision of the Almighty to behold the beautifical Vision 't is that which hath such an influence that had Adam beheld it he had not had room to turn aside to sin as some are of opinion 't is so glorious so bright that not only Moses but the very Angels cover their Faces at surely here is the Crown of all In thy Presence is fulness of joy saith David psa 16.11 Possible thy fleshly part doth please it self in the presence of thy relations thy Wife thy Children thy Parents c. and thou mayst think there is reason to rejoyce in them nay it may be some may rejoyce in the presence of their companions in wickedness it may be thou may'st rejoyce in thy cups or in thy Harlots of in the presence of them that are thy Brethren in iniquity nay it may be in the company of them that help to bring thee in some of the Worlds gain though it be by lying and unwarrantable nay cursed ways oh but here is the onely true ground of rejoycing God is the chief good and he that hath him hath all and therefore in his Presence is fulness of joy 'T is a joy that strangers shall not intermeddle with Prov. 14.10 I tell thee thy joy shall be such that strangers to God strangers to Christ and to the Covenant shall not intermeddle with these indeed may have a little shadow joy but no substantial joy a little fethery but no solid joy they may have some what may tickle the fancy but nothing that will revive the heart they may have joy but none of thy joy strangers shall not intermeddle with thy joy there is a joy peculiar to the Saints others may have joy but it may be taken from them men may take it from them but thou shalt have joy in his presence that no man shall take away John 16.22 Wicked man may have joy as they think in their Wine and their Women but an Allarm of War the sound of a Trumpet at the Gate of their Court or the voice of Fire Fire as was but lately experienced will put a damp to all their mirth and terrifie them in the midst of laughter Oh hearken to this thou voluptuous wretch that will sell all and venture thy soul and all for a little pleasure what if when the glass of Wine is in thy hand thine enemy should stand at the door with a naked Sword in his hand and thou shouldst be made sensible of it would it not make thy countenance change and thy face to gather paleness Ah but thou that art a believer needst not fear for neither persons nor things shall damp nor take thy joy from thee here is great support for thee still soul thou that art in Christ thou that art one for whom Christ dyed shalt have all this joy and glory and much more and prethee do not take my word for it but take Christ's own word for it and with that I will conclude this use John 17.24 Father I will thou wilt Son what wilt thou I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am to behold my Glory not be with my people and my Ministers which many place much of their happiness in I wish they do not Idolize them not be with my Angels above which is a degree higher but be with me where I am is not here incouragement that you shall be and do as Christ doth when a Child a Servant or Souldier seeth the difficulty that some times lyeth before him and he thinks he shall sink under the weight of it yet what new resolutions doth it put into him when he shall hear the Father Master or Captain say come my Children come Servants come Souldiers though the work be difficult yet still remember you are with me and you shall do no worse nor fare no worse then I why soul is this comfort to hear such words on a Cross what is this then to have such words on a Throne to hear Christ say on a Cross you shall do no worse then I that 's no small comfort but how much more when Christ saith you shall be on my Throne with me to behold my glory time was indeed it may be when thou sawest my Servants Blood shed for their Testimony of me and brought before Kings and Rulers for my name sake ah but now there is an end of that sight with thee thou shalt be with me to behold my glory well soul 't is possible thou mayst have troubles without and corruptions within yet here is comfort for thee these shall have an end thou that art in Christ mayst therefore lift up thy head For thy Redemption draweth nigh Luke 21.28 And now a word of exhortation and I have done I have but three things to exhort and perswade Saints unto and as many to perswade sinners to and I have done because I doubt I am tedious and I beseech you all to suffer the word of exhortation which first speaketh to the Saint on this wise if it be so that the sins of believers are passed over by Vertue of the Blood of Jesus First Then
