then that Satans power was not to continue longer as Paulinus writeth Epist 4. than till he had slaine an innocent person therewith Was not this li●ertie enough Did hee not once vrge such a point against poore Adam for eating the fruit that was reserued because ●ee had libertie enough to eat of all the rest And is not his owne cause now like to this Ah thou vngratious and wicked seruant I will iudge thee out of th●ne ow●e mouth Did it not suffice thee to bee the minister of Gods iustice to inuade all that offended If this only were permitted oughtedst not thou to haue forborne this one innocent person that neuer sinned Thou hast shed innocent blood and art now not an executioner of the Law of God but a trespasser against it Art thou able to reinfuse the guiltlesse blood into those sacred veines againe out of which thou hast presumptuously spilt it Is thy power nothing to edification but al to destruction Know then O thou enemie that temeritie is not alwaies fortunate for destruction is now come to a perpetuall end Neque enim lex iustior vlla est quàm necis artifices arte perire sua Thus you see the power of Satan dissolued by the death of Christ not with force but in law and iustice And what doe you thinke of the Godhead of Christ that hitherto was a beholder and no actor a Iudge and no party in this businesse Should not the Iudge of all the world doe right Or can there be any better iustice any greater right than to restore the innocent and to punish the wrong-doer Euen so he did The Godhead of Christ which was glued to his bodie with an inseparable vnion which was with it in the graue that it did not see corruption that same Godhead did breath the breath of life into it againe and then he was inter mortuos liber a free man amongst those that were dead When he had thus reuiued and restored the innocent then he spoiled principalities and powers so much more magnifically because he pursued them into their owne holds and triumphed ouer them in their owne Castles of the graue and hell It fared with them all as it did with the great sea-beast when he had swallowed vp Ionas They had taken such a morsell as they could not hold but were faine to be rid of it againe Then hee tooke the beast euen the great Leuiathan that crooked serpent and cast him aliue into a lake of fire burning with brimstone Non iam Diabolum vt Leonem timemus sed vt pellem concul●●mus We doe not now feare the Diuell as a Lion but wee tread him vnder our feet as a case There is no cause now that you should stand in doubt of any angrie Porters that you should bee afraid of any firie sword Christ see Satan falling downe from heauen as if it had beene lightning Ego alium noui neminem qui hoc potuerit nisi d●minum meum Iesum I know not any that could so haue taken him away and remoued his power but only my Lord Iesus When Christ was risen againe hee made not the earth a place of his residence but ascended to heauen as a conquerour It is well seene how thou my King and God goest to thy sanctuarie not climing by ladders not hoised vp by cords or pullies but marching valiantly in the multitude of thine owne strength thou makest the Clouds thy Chariots and walkest vpon the wings of the winde And when hee came neere to the wals of that heauenly Citie hee did not begge or intreat an entrance by fauour but commanded it as one that had authoritie Lift vp your heads O ye gates and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores and the King of glory shall come in Securae estote caro sanguis coelum in capite pos●detis aut si vos in coelo negent negent in coelo Christum Feare not flesh and blood ye are now in your head possessed of heauen or if any denie you to bee in heauen they may as well deny Christ to be there He ●scended whole for there was not one bone of him broken then must his bodie bee there too which we are Hominem portauit ad coelum Deum misit ad terras He hath both taken and giuen a pledge He hath taken flesh of vs and carried it into Heauen that Heauen now knowes what it is to beare man and he hath giuen vs his spirit from thence in testimonie that we shall all bee gathered thither Ego alium noui neminem qui hoc potuerit nisi Dominum meum Iesum He shall be my mediator he shall be my ladder If he did redeeme me with the infirmitie of his death can he not make intercession for me in the maiestie and glorie of his life He liues at the right hand of God not in contemplation of his owne greatnes but for the comfort and sustentation of our wants He liues for euer to make interpellation for vs and if he were heard in the dayes of his flesh because of his reuerence shall he be refused now at the right hand of God because of his glorie Hauing once opened heauen he makes it a thorow fare for our praiers to ascend and for his benefits to descend Amongst other things that he giueth vs from thence one is here specially mentioned in the text The Angels of God ascend and descend vpon the sonne of man that is by his appointment and authoritie to attend to guard to comfort vs poore men Are they not all ministring spirits sent foorth for their sakes that shall bee heires of saluation The Angell of the Lord pitcheth round about the Tents of the godly and deliuereth them They shall beare our soules into Abrahams bosome Let vs vse their ministry that is glorious leaue their mediation that is superfluous There is another sort of Angels that ascend and descend vpon the sonne of man When he led captiuitie captiue he gaue gifts vnto men some Apostles some Prophets some Pastors and Doctors for the gathering together of the Saints These are called in the Reuelation the Angels of the Churches and heere they are said to goe vp and downe They had not need to sit still lest the children should call for bread and there no none to breake it vnto them We haue the keies of the kingdome of heauen committed vnto vs. Tibi ●abo claues regni coelorum Wee are key-bearers to open the kingdome of heauen to you by preaching of the Gospell This power Peter and Paul did exercise faithfully They preached the Gospell and in that remission of sinnes and so opened the kingdome to the beleeuers They neuer practised nor thought of such exorbitant and infinite power as the Church of Rome doth now vsurpe vnder the colour and title of those keies directly or indirectly to sway and to dispose of all the world Paul neuer planted any such power Apollos neuer watered it and God of his
