all the sinnes of all mankinde fell vpon him and yet he had a glorious eluctation a victory a triumph ouerall that And he is not onely my rule and my example but my Surety and my Promise That where he is I shall be also not only where hee is in Glory now but in euery step that he made in this world If I bee with him in his Afflictions I shall be with him in his Eluctation in his Victory in his Triumph St. Chrysostome falling vpon such a meditation as this is loth to depart from it Hee insists vpon it thus Illine qui à dextris Dei sedet conforme fiet hoc corpus Will God make this body of mine like that that sits now at his right hand Yes he will Illi quem adorant Angeli Like him whom all the Angels worship Yes like him Illi cui adstant incorporales virtutes Like him to whom the Thrones and Powers and Dominations and Cherubins and Seraphins minister Yes he will doe all that saies that Father But allow mee the boldnesse to adde thus much Cumillo I shall bee with him before with him wheresoeuer hee was in this world I shall bee with him in his Agonies and sadnesse of soule but in those Agonies and sadnesses I shall be with him still in his Veruntamen In his surrender of himselfe Not my will but thine O Father be done I shall bee with him vpon his Crosse but in all my crosses and in all my iealousies and suspitions of that Dereliquisti That God my God hath for saken me I shall be with him still in his In manus In a confidence and assurance that I may commit my Spirit into his hands For all this I doe According to his promise that where hee is I shall be also Si totus mundus lachrymis sumptis deflesset saies the same Father If men were made of teares as they are made of the Elements of teares of the occasions of teares of miseries if all men were resolu'd to teares as they must resolue to dust all were not enough to lament their miserable condition who lay hold vpon the miserable comforters of this World vpon their owne merits or vpon the super-erogations of other men of which there are no promises and cannot finde that true promise which is impli'd in those examples of Iob and Christ appliable to themselues Neuerthelesse we we that can doe so wee that can reade that promise that where they are we shall be that what he hath done for them he will also do for vs we according to his promise declar'd in his Scriptures in the midst of Scoffers and in the midst of Terrours expect and looke for more than we haue yea which is another ther and our fift consideration As God hath prouided vs an Endlesnesse in the world to come so to giue vs an Inchoation a Representation of the next world in this God hath instituted and endlesnesse● in this world too God hath imprinted in euery naturall man and doth exalt in the super-naturall and regenerate man an endlesse and Vndeterminable desire of more then this life can minister vnto him Still God leaues man in expectation And truly that man can scarce proue the immortality of the soule to himselfe that feel's not a desire in his soule of something beyond this life Creatures of an inferiour nature are possest with the present Man is a future Creature In a holy and vsefull sense wee may say th●t God is a future God to man especially hee is so Mans consideration of God is specially for the future It is plaine it is euident that that name which God hath taken in Exodus signifies Essence Being Verum nomen Dei Semper esse Gods proper name is Alwayes Being That can bee said of no creature that it alwayes was That which the Arrians said blasphemously of Christ Erat quando non erat is true of all creatures There was a time when that thing was nothing But of God more than this may bee said so much more as that when we haue said all that wee can more then so much more remaines vnsaid For Totum Deum nemo vno nomine exprimit sicut nec totum aerem haurit A man may as well draw in all the aire at one breath as expresse all God God entirely in one name But the name that reaches farthest towards him is that name which he hath taken in Exodus Deo si coniungimur sumus In being deriu'd from God we haue a Being we are something In him we liue and moue and haue our Being But Deo si comparemur nec sumus If we bee compar'd with God our Being with his Being we haue no Being at all wee are Nothing For Being is the peculiar and proper name of God But though it be so cleere that that Name of God in Exodus is Being yet it is not so cleere whether it be a present or a future Being For though most of the Fathers expressed and our Translators rendered in the present Sum qui sum I am that I am and Goe and tell Pharaoh that he whose name is I am hath sent thee yet in the Originall it is plaine and plaine in the Chalde Paraphrase that that name is deliuered in the future Ero qui ero I shall bee that I shall be and Goe and tell Pharaoh that he whose name is I shall bee hath sent thee God cals vpon man euen in the consideration of the name of God to consider his future state For if we consider God in the present to day now God hath had as long a forenoone as he shall haue an afternoone God hath beene God as many millions of millions of generations already as hee shall be hereafter but if we consider man in the present to day now how short a forenoone hath any man had if 60. if 80. yeeres yet few and euill haue his daies beene Nay if we take man collectiuely entirely altogether all mankind how short a forenoone hath man had It is not yet 6000● yeeres since man had his first being But if we consider him in his Afternoone in his future state in his life after death if euery minute of his 6000. yeeres were multipli'd by so many millions of Ages all would amount to nothing meerely nothing in respect of that Eternity which hee is to dwell in We can expresse mans Afternoone his future Perpetuity his Euerlastingnesse but one way But it is a faire way a noble way This That how late a Beginning soeuer God gaue Man Man shall no more see an end no more die then God himselfe that gaue him life Therefore saies th' Apostle here Wee We that consider God according to his promise expect future things looke for more at Gods hand hereafter then we haue receiu'd heretofore For his mercies are new euery morning and his later mercies are his largest mercies How many how great Nations perish without euer hearing the name of Christ But God

super-exalted infinitely multiplied by euery minutes addition euery minute infinitely better then euer it was before Of these new heauens this new earth we must say at last that wee can say nothing For the eye of Man hath not seene nor eare heard nor heart conceiu'd the State of this place We limit and determine our consideration with that Horizon with which the Holy Ghost hath limited vs that it is that new Heauens and new Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousnesse Here then the Holy Ghost intends the same new Heauens and new Earth which he doe's in the Apocalyps and describes there by another name the new Ierusalem But here the Holy Ghost doe's not proceed as there to enamour vs of the place by a promise of improuement of those things which wee haue and loue here but by a promise of that which here wee haue not at all There and elsewhere the holy Ghost applies himselfe to the naturall affections of men To those that are affected with riches he saies that that new City shall be all of gold and in the foundations all manner of precious stones To those that are affected with beauty hee promises an euerlasting association with that beautifull Couple that faire Paire which spend their time in that contemplation and that protestation Ecce tu pulchra dilecta mea Ecce tu pulcher Behold thou art faire my Beloued saies he and then she replies Behold thou art faire too noting the mutuall complacencie betweene Christ and his Church there To those which delight in Musicke hee promises continuall singing and euery minute a new song To those whose thoughts are exerciz'd vpon Honour and Titles Ciuill or Ecclesiasticall hee promises Priesthood and if that be not honour enough a Royall Priesthood And to those who looke after military honor Triumph after their victory in the Militant Church And to those that are carried with sumptuous and magnifique feasts a Mariage supper of the Lambe where not onely all the rarities of the whole world but the whole world it selfe shall be seru'd in The whole world shall bee brought to that fire and seru'd at that Table But here the holy Ghost proceeds not that way by improuement of things which wee haue and loue here riches or beauty or musicke or honour or feasts but by an euerlasting possession of that which wee hunger and thirst and pantafter here and cannot compasse that is Iustice or Righteousnesse for both those our present word denotes and both those wee want here and shall haue both for euer in these new Heauens and new Earth What would a worne and macerated suter opprest by the bribery of the rich or by the might of a potent Aduersary giue or doe or suffer that he might haue Iustice What would a deiected Spirit a disconsolate soule opprest with the weight of heauy and habituall sinne that stands naked in a frosty Winter of desperation and cannot compasse one fig leafe one colour one excuse for any circumstance of any sinne giue for the garment of Righteousnesse Here there is none that doe's right none that executes Iustice or not for Iustice sake Hee that doe's Iustice doe's it not at first And Christ doe's not thanke that Iudge that did Iustice vpon the womans importunity Iustice is no Iustice that is done for feare of an Appeale or a Commission There may bee found that may doe Iustice at first At their first entrance into a place to make good impressions to establish good opinions they may doe some Acts of Iustice But after either an Vxoriousnesse to wards to the wife or a Solicitude for children or a facility towards seruants or a vastnesse of expence quenches and ouercom's the loue of Iustice in them Non habitat In most it is not but it dwels not in any In our new Heauens and new Earth dwelleth iustice And that 's my comfort that when I come thither I shall haue Iustice at God's hands It was an Act of mercy meerly that God decreed a meanes of saluation But to giue saluation to them for whom Christ gaue that full satisfaction is but an act of Iustice. It is a righteous thing with God to recompence Tribulation to them that trouble you and to you who are troubled rest with vs saies the Apostle It is an act of the same Iustice to saue the true Beleeuer as to damne him who by vnbeleefe hath made himselfe a Reprobate Iustice dwels there and there dwels Righteousnes Of which there is none in this world None that growes in this world none that is mine owne For howsoeuer we doe dispute or will conclude of inherent Righteousnes it is indeed rather adheherent then inherent rather extrinsecall than intrinsecal Not that it is not in my self in my will but it is not of my selfe nor of my will My will was neuer able to rectifie to iustifie it selfe But the power of God's grace cals in a forraine Righteousnes to my succour the Righteousnesse of my Sauiour and cals his and makes his my Righteousnesse But yet Non habitat This Righteous● dwels not vnremoueable in mee here Though I haue put on that garment in Baptisme and girt it to me closer in the other Sacrament and in some acts of holinesse yet my sinnes of infirmity slacken this garment and it fals from mee before I am aware and in my sinnes of contempt and rebellion I teare it off and throw it away my selfe But in this new state these new Heauens new Earth Iusticia habitat This Righteousnesse shall dwell I shall haue an innocence and a constant innocence a present impeccancy and an impeccability for the future But in this especially is Righteousnes said to dwell there because this Righteousnesse is the very Son of God the Sonne of Righteousnesse himselfe And this day the day of his second Comming is the last day of his Progresse For euer after that day these new Heauens and new Earth shall bee his standing house where hee shall dwell and wee with him as himselfe hath said The Righteous shall shine forth as the Sunne it selfe As the Sonne of God himselfe as the Sonne of glory as the Son of Righteousnesse himselfe For God shall impart to vs all a mysterious Gauelkinde a mysterious Equality of fulnesse of Glory to vs all God shall not whisper to his owne Sonne a Sede à dextris Sit thou at my right hand nor a Hodie genuite This day haue I begotten thee nor a Ponam inimicos tuos I will make thine enemies thy footstoole and no more But as it is said of the Armies of Israel That they went forth as one man so the whole Host of God's Saints incorporated in Christ Iesus shall bee as one man and as that one Man who was so the Sonne of Man as that he was the Sonne of God too And God shall say to vs all Sedete à dextris Si● ye all on my right hand for from the left hand there

ciuill Actions was Religion so the rule of her Religion was the Scripture And her rule for her particular vnderstanding of the Scripture was the Church Shee neuer diuerted towards the Papist in vndervaluing the Scripture nor towards the Separatist in vnderualuing the Church But in the doctrine and discipline of that Church in which God seal'd her to himselfe in Baptisme shee brought vp her

Super-dying a death vpon the death a Morte vpon the Mor●eris● a Spirituall death after the bodily then wee died a●cording to Gods threatning Now when by the Gospell that second death is taken off though wee die still yet we die according to his Promise That 's a part of his mercy and his Promise which his Apostle giues vs from him That wee shall all bee changed For after that promise that change follow 's that triumphant Acclamation O death where is thy sting O graue where is thy victory Consider vs fallen in Adam and wee are miserable that wee must die But consider vs restor'd and redintegrated in Christ wee were more miserable if wee might not die Wee lost the earthly Paradise by death then but wee get not Heauen but by death now This shee expected till it came and embrac't it when it came How may we thinke shee was ioy'd to see that face that Angels delight to looke vpon the face of her Sauiour that did not abhor the face of his fearfullest Messenger Death● Shee shew'd no

Reuersionary vpō along life The whole world must die before she come to a possession of this Reuersion which is a Glorified body in the Resurrection In which expectation she return's to her former charity shee will not haue that till all wee shall haue it as well as shee She eat not her morsels alone in her life as Iob speakes Shee lookes not for the glory of the Resurrection alone after her death But when all we shall haue beene mellow'd in the earth many yeeres or chang'd in the Aire in the twinkling of an eye God knowes which That body vpon which you tread now That body which now whilst I speake is mouldring and crumbling into lesse and lesse dust and so hath some motion though no life That body which was the Tabernacle of a holy Soule and a Temple of the holy Ghost That body that was eyes to the blinde and hands and feet to the lame whilst it liu'd and being dead is so still by hauing beene so liuely an example to teach others to be so That body at last shall haue her
