Patriarchs and Apostles Martyrs and Confessors and all the Quire of Heaven desire thy company and art thou loath to goe Away for shame ô my soul away rouze up thy self and let it never be said that Heathen and Heretiques have imbraced Death more cheerfully then thou let it never be said Thou hast incouraged others and art thy self a coward Away then with all unchristian diffidence and addresse thy self with joy and thankfulnesse to thy glory 14. But O Lord it is thou only that canst make me willing thou by thy Mercies canst draw me and by thy judgements canst drive me thou canst wooe me to a better world and weane me from this Oh prepare my Soul so far for thee then that it may bid thy messenger welcome Now that thou O Saviour hast tasted Death and so sweetned that cup let not me be loth to pledg thee Thou that givest both to will Phil. 〈…〉 and to doe give them both to me that I may not only die but doe it willingly 15. But O Lord though the spirit be willing yet the flesh is weak Mat. 〈◊〉 41. my soul would draw near with courage and comfort but my body boggles so many hindrances and hang-backs so many clogs and temptations within me without me about me that if thou O Lord leave me but to my self I shall shame my selfe and that name of thine that I have professed Oh! I cannot welcome Death so heartily so worthily as I ought instead of cheerfull imbracements I shrink inward and am scarce ashamed to let Death hale me as if I would make the world belive that I durst not die Lord how shall I shame and befoole my self if thou but leave me to my self 16. Now whither shall I goe for succour but unto thee O Lord O God of all Spirits and of all Flesh too make thou willing both my spirit and my flesh to come unto thee Oh! weaken my flesh to receive incourage my spirit to contemne Death The nearer I draw unto my end let my joyes be the clearer and my desires inlarged Oh draw this dark veile a little that I may see my glory and then I cannot but desire it And O God most holy O God most mighty O holy and mercifull Redeemer suffer me not at my last hour for any fear or paine of Death to fall from thee 17. 〈◊〉 4. 〈…〉 O Lord thou seest how soon I sink in these waters unlesse thou help and hold me up Oh! shew thy strength then in my weaknesse help him that cannot help himself and let all the praise and glory be thine owne I aske no more then what thou hast given to others and promised to me and hast given many earnests by many former deliverances perfect the work thou hast begun that thy praise and my happinesse may be consummate together 18. Yea O Lord I know it shall be so I cannot only build upon thy promise but prove by former deliverances that thou wilt save me now I cannot fear drowning in these waters while my head is above O Saviour thou hast conquer'd and triumph'd over Death how can I then fear a vanquish'd adversary Thou hast overcome Death both for thy self and me how then can I miscarry O Death then where is thy sting 〈◊〉 15. 〈◊〉 55. 〈◊〉 21 〈◊〉 4.7 〈◊〉 4.8 O Grave where is thy victory O my soul thou hast marched valiantly Thou hast fought a good fight and hast finished thy course henceforth is laid up for thee a crown of glory I will lay me down therefore and sleep in peace since thou O God makest me to dwell in safety 19. 〈◊〉 15.57 And now thanks be unto God who hath given me victory through Jesus Christ our Lord And blessed be that Redeemer who hath bought off the bitterness and torments of my Death with his own Blessed be he that hath made the bed of sickness tollerable of Death easie Blessed be that strength of my salvation who hath covered my head in the day of battell 〈◊〉 140.7 O Lord thou art my God and I will thanke thee thou art my King 〈◊〉 1.8.28 and I will praise thee Of Life Eternall 1. WHat wilt thou muse on O my soule what imployment shall I find thee or thou find thy self what meditations more worthy thy self next the glory of thy Maker then the glory of thy self Ascend then O my soule in thy thoughts to that Nebo and Pisgag Deut. 〈…〉 whence thou maiest descry a glimpse of that Land of blisse and promise which thy faith believeth and thy heart desireth 2. And what is that life of glory but a full fruition of God and thy self with the society of Saints and Angels the blessed vision of the all-glorious Deity Thy union to him thy enjoying of him and rejoycing in him A life that is all life and hath nothing of death or sorrow in it where are fulnesse of joies and pleasures for evermore Psal 〈…〉 A life whose glory cannot be described till it be injoyed 1 Cor. 〈…〉 for eye hath not seen nor eare heard nor hath it entred into the heart of man to conceive those treasures of happinesse that God hath laid up for them that love him A life whereunto not our light afflictions onely which are but for a moment Rom. 〈…〉 but whereunto the best things of this life yea our life it self is not worthy to be compared 3. And this is the last of lives and is a life everlasting Our first Life is a life of Nature the marriage of soule and body together Our next Life is a life of Grace an espousing of the Soule to Christ Our last Life is a life of Glory when Soul and Body are married unto God for ever The Soule is begotten to this life at our regeneration it is borne at our death or separation of Soule and Body from thence to the resurrection and re-union of the Body to the Soule it is in its childhood and then enters it into its full perfection In this glory there may be degrees there can be no imperfection though some shine like starres of greater some of lesser magnitude yet all shall shine some shal hold more glory some lesse yet all shall be full he that hath least shall neither want himself nor annoy him that hath a larger portion 4. And whence is this life eternal but from him who is the fountain both of life and of eternity The Father hath made it and decreed it The Son hath merited and procured it The Holy Ghost hath sealed and delivered it Not thy Free-will in doing good but his free Mercy in Electing thee is that which gives thee title to this Glory Thou art not happy because thou hast been holy but thou art holy because thou art ordained to be happy And as this Glory so all things tending thereunto are from God he that ordained thee to Glory hath given thee a Saviour to give thee this Glory he hath given thee Faith
