of sleeping for if you do fall asleepe you will never wake again will he not take heed of sleeping thus it shall be with the sleepers of this latter time at other times men shall sleepe and wake and wake and sleepe but if men fall asseepe into a spirituall sleepe immediately before the coming of Jesus Christ they shall sleepe till he comes and shall be wake't no more but by his coming Oh! Lord who would not watch and pray least he enter into temptation Thirdly If ye observe this Parable ye shall finde that there are two sorts of sleepers and accordingly two events of their sleeping Some slept as the wise Virgins but did keep their oyle their oyle not spent these when the Bridegroome came entred with him into his joy Others there are that sleepe and have spent their oyle had oyle but spent it and these when the Bridegroome cometh are shut out and though they call Lord open He answers I know ye not So now in the latter dayes there shall be two sorts of professors one that shall sleepe and slumber but they shall keepe their graces their oyle their principles and these though they be found asleepe when Christ comes Christ will pardon and their sleeping becausethey have still their oyle Others there shall be who shall not only fall asleepe but they shall lose their principles True I thought indeed that a man was bound for to keep the sabbath to live strictly and to make a conscience of every word and thought but now I see there is more liberty thus they shall lose their principles their oyle their judgements these poore soules shall never wake againe and when Christ comes though they cry to him for mercy they will not obtaine it No ye have lost your principles your oyle your judgements ye are foolish Virgins ye shall never enter into my joy he will then say Who would not then watch and pray what I say to you I speak unto my own soule and to every person here present Oh! let us all watch for the Son of man comes and he comes at midnight and if it be not midnight now yet it is late already And seeing all these things are so give me leave Honourable and Beloved to leave an exhortation with you which is no other then that which the Psalmist presents unto ye in the 24. Psalme Lift up your heads O ye gates and be lift up ye everlasting doores and the King of glory shall come in Gates ye know are the place where the Magistrate fate The Temple doore was called the Everlasting doore in opposition to the doore of the Tabernacle which was to continue but a little time The Psalmist speakes here of Christs Kingdome and Lordship on earth verse 1. The earth is the Lords and the fulnesse thereof the world and they that dwell therein Then he will have a Church and a precious people Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord who shall stand on his holy place verse the 3. Which he answers in the generall He that hath cleane hands and a pure heart And more particularly at the 6. verse This is the Generation of them that seeke him that seeke thy face even Jacob. The Children of Israel had two names sometimes they were called Israel when they were in a more flourishing and strong condition sometimes they were in a low and weake condition and then they were called Jacob Feare not O worme Jacob. Now sayes the Psalmist here The earth is the Lords and Christ shall raigne and the poore despised Israel who now are in low condition and therefore called Jacob shall be converted and ascend unto the hill of God Now therefore my advice and counsell unto you is That as the Lord Jesus shall make any approach unto your Townes Cities Kingdomes Churches you would receive him and not shut your gates and doores against him but O all ye Cities Townes and Magistrates lift up your heads lift up your heads O ye gates and all you Temple-men and Churches lift up your everlasting doores that this King of glory may come in And if ye aske who it is It is the Lord strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battel wherefore lift up your heads And because this exhortation is of great consequence and men are slow to receive it I exhort you to it againe at the 9. verse Lift up your heads O ye gates even lift them up ye everlasting doores and the King of glory shall come in Now the Lord grant that we may all so lift up our heads and gates that this King of glory may come in among us not as a judge to condemne us but as our Bridegroome to love us FINIS
