A94505	Christ knocking at the doore, or, The substance of a sermon intended to be preached in Pauls upon the Sabbath day which fell upon the fifteenth day of April last: but not preached, by reason of a suddain obstruction of that liberty which was promised him, being indeed unworthy to be the servant of Jesus Christ in any such ministration for ever. / Published by the authour Philip Tanny commonly Tandy.

one word Farewell or I am gone I will stay no longer you use me coursly unkindely as if you loved me not What ere the words were 't is sure they stung for she saith expresly her soul failed when he spake Well but what follows sad work Christ knows and your souls know too if you have any acquaintance with Christ I sought him but I could not finde him I called him but he gave me no answer No! what Christ give no answer when a poor afflicted soul cals that 's sad my brethren but thank your selves for it he cals oft and you will not answer him and therefore it is but just with him that when ye call he likewise should not answer you 't was so with the Spouse and ha●h been so with us if we have any experimentall knowledge of Christ as a Beloved The Spouse under this transaction findes things go sadly with her afflictions come tumbling on her like waves one upon the neck of another and truly no wonder seeing Christ is gone Woe unto you when I depart from you But see how she is put to it she hunts after her Beloved when he was gone she now seeth 't was better rising before as she hunts and seeks about she lights upon the watch and the watch upon her she was catched abroad at unseasonable hours after midnight belike it may be about four of the Clock in the morning but how did the Watch serve her they smote her and the blows were no small ones we use not to strike children so 't is said they wounded her nay it should seem they left her dead else 't is like they would have carried her to prison but by them she is left belike and then she fals into worse hands at least not better for the Keepers of the Walls light upon her and they take away her Veil Beaten Wounded Rob'd you see she is this was great affliction hard usage but all this is nothing to the losse of her Beloved 't was he 't was he that was gone that had withdrawn himself her soul failed when she spake for him she is sick sick at heart sick of love and I tell you my Brethren and Sisters love-sicknesse is heavy sicknesse What sicknesse like it 'T is an affliction greater then beating wounding robbing especially if spiritual the Spouse tels you that plainly for though beaten wounded rob'd and ●ob'd by those that should have comforted her yet all her complaint seems to be that her Beloved was gone that he had withdrawn himself that she could not finde him and therefore being wearied with searching she seems to sit her down panting under her affliction and as if she were able to do no more she cries out to the Daughters of Jerusalem by which I think you may understand such afflicted souls as are beginning to look after Christ and being young do groan like little young children after him To these I say she cries out as being most probably likely to tell her some news of Christ because of his tendernesse to such souls as being perpetually ready to succour them And how doth she cry out to them truly she speaks as if she were now fainting and could do no more for her self I charge you O ye Daughters of Jerusalem that if she finde my Beloved ye tell him I am sick of Love And what think ye now my sweet Friends is it good slieghting of Christ Is it good refusing of him Doth the Sppuse think so No. And What can you think so that have heard this experiment Take need Take heed my Brethren what ye do You see what it cost her you know not what it may cost you if you deal unkindely with him If ye refuse to hearken and to yeeld up your affections as well as your ears to the words which he speaks what know you whether he will speak again for ever You cannot say absolutely but that the spirit of Jesus Christ may be speaking to you in me now at this very time season and moment I say nothing whose I am God in due time will bear me witnesse and bear witnesse with me if I am his Fly not like the moth too busily about the Candle of your own Consciences If you slieght the burning light of that Candle yet consider betime that 't is too great a boldness to play and dally with the Spirit of God who is a consuming fire Oh kisse the Soune lest he be angry if he be angry yea but a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him For Gods sake for Christs sake for the Conversion of Souls sake for your Childrens sake methinks these concernments should have some prevalency with you By all these and all the mercies of God if ever Christ knocks deal but as civilly with him as generally we do with strangers ask him Who 's at doore he will answer you doubtlesse 'T is I 'T is I Pray you open and let me come in for this he knocks calls cries But what will he do when he comes in He will do any thing that is good for us he will sweep the house clense our hearts wash away our sins wash our garments or clothe us at least with clean white linnen These things done he will make ready a Feast for us a Feast of fat things and when all is ready he will sit down with us he will sup with us nay his Father will sup with us too he with him both with us we with them Come Come my hearts I am again your Petitioner for Christs sake for your Souls sake for your Childrens sakes little do you think how much they are concerned in the account of your yeelding yeeld yeeld great hearts throw down the bars away with your oppositions your lusts your sins Let me break open doors at this time with those words of the Psalmist Psa 24.7 8 9 10. Lift up your heads O ye gates and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in Who is the King of glory the Lord strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battell Lift up your heads O ye gates even lift them up ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in Who is this King of glory the Lord of Hosts he is this King of glory I have done with the word Behold as 't is a note of Attention but I told you it sixeth us upon two Considerations and the second Consideration is point of Admiration I must say something of that too The word Behold is often used in such a tendency of signification Behold a virgin shall conceive with childe I need not quote Texts for that which is so obvious it is a note of Wonder and let it be granted so to be here for surely 't is matter of admiration that Jesus Christ should stand at the doores of such a wicked people such ungodly hypocriticall professors as this Church of the Laodiceans was we are but behold he doth it though it
