Lord ver 15. Know ye not that your Bodies are the Members of Christ and thence he infers Shall I take the Member of Christ c. VVe should do nothing with our Bodies but what is fit to be done by a part of Jesus Christ Shall I swear or lie with the Tongue that is a part of Christ Shall I make any part of Christ drunk or unclean or worldly no certainly our Bodies being Parts and Members of Christ should be moved at the VVill and Pleasure and for the Honour of our Head in Heaven 4. By Dedication Our Bodies are dedicated to the Honour and Service of God ver 19. What know you not that your Bodies are the Temples of the Holy Ghost which is in you and is of God And therefore saith he Ye are not your own ye are for the Lord whose Temples you are These Temples should be kept Holy and Pure and for the Use and Service of God You may easily conceive what a horrid thing it would have been to have seen a Company of People VVhoring and Drunk and Swearing and Fighting in the Temple of God What make the Temple of God a Bawdyhouse No The Temple of God is to be a House of Prayer a place Devoted to the Service of God so it 's a very horrid thing that our Bodies which are the Temples of God should be filled with all manner of Sin Eyes full of Adultery Mouths full of Lies and Oaths and the whole Temple of God filled with all manner of Sin Beloved we know the Glory of God was seen in the Temple his Glory did shine in the Temple and indeed we may see the Glory of God in the very Looks Countenances and Languages and Behaviour of the very Bodies of Holy Men which speak their Bodies to be the Temples of God 5. By Covenant This is one great use of Baptisme and the Lords Supper that we do therein bind our selves our Souls and Bodies to be for the Lord. So that it may be said of us as in Deut. 26.17 18. Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God Or As some read it Thou hast made the Lord say this day that he will be a God to thee verse 18. The Lord hath made thee say this day That you will be a peculiar People unto him And every time we stand before God to worship him in the use of any Ordinance We do profess our Bodies to be the Lords and for him II. Reas Because there is much work for the body to do for the Lord. The Commands of God bind the body to Obedience as well as the Soul Jesus Christ lived here in the body and left us an Example of bodily service and sufferings Our profession of Religion must be by the body Rom. 10.10 With the heart man believeth and with the mouth confession is made to Salvation We must by the use of our bodies confess Christ before Men that he may confess us before his Father in Heaven Matth. 10.32 We must with our bodies worship God in all the Ordinances of Worship We must pray with our bodies as well as our Souls We cannot hear or read the Word but in the use of our bodies The Sacraments are bodily Signs that by them we may with our bodies as well as our Souls Worship God We cannot eat or drink in the Lords Supper without the Body Water in Baptisme is to wash the Body Our Bodies are to be employed in our particular Callings for the Lord. The Graces of Gods Spirit come into the Soul by the Body Rom. 10.17 Faith cometh by hearing And all the Graces are exercised by the Body I believed therefore have I spoken The Soul sets the Body on work Ps 45.1 My Heart is inditing a good matter c. and my Tongue is the Pen of a ready Writer Matth. 12 34 35. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things VSES I. Of Dehortation II. Of Exhortation I. For the First Of Debortation In respect 1. Of the Bodies of others 2. Of our own Bodies 1. If the Bodies of Men are for the Lord do not debauch or corrupt any Persons by enticing them to bodily Sins Do not draw them to Whoredom and Drunkenness They have a better Master to serve and better work to do they may be honouring and serving God whilst they are serving thy Lusts Their Bodies may be better employed than by Drinking and Whoring with thee entice no body to any thing but what their bodies were made and purchased for Draw them to nothing but what is fit for a Spouse and Member of Christ to do 2. Do no wrong to the bodies of any Persons by unjust beating them or hurting them How darest thou disable any person for the service of God You Masters be not cruel to your Apprentices their bodies are for the Lord You would not starve or overwork or abuse a dear Horse that cost many Pieces Look on thy Apprentice he is a dear Child do not abuse that body which was bought with the blood of God prize it and cherish it for the Owners sake 3. Do not cheat any of their bodily Wealth by Theft by Over-reaching them in buying or selling by withholding the just Debts which thou owest They and their Estates are for the Lord and the Lord will concern himself to take vengeance on thee 1 Thess 4.6 It may be sad to many to think that they have consum'd that on their Lusts for which many Parents and their Children would be blessing God for And here I may warn Husbands and Wives and Parents that they consume not the bodily Wealth which is for the good of their Yokefellows and Children Oh what a cruel Husband or Wife art thou who hast consum'd that on thy lusts which would have maintained thy Yokefellow And how can Parents endure their Children should cry We might have been better Scholars or might have had better Trades or Portions had it not been for our Fathers and Mothers Lusts II. Dehortation In respect of your own Bodies Do not abuse your own Bodies by Sin This sets all the Members of the Body against the Lord which should be for the Lord Let not your bodies be us'd as Instruments to execute or bring forth the sins of your hearts Remember the Apostle Rom. 6.12 Let not sin reign in your mortal Bodies More particularly keep your Bodies clean from these four sorts of Sins 1. All manner of Whoredom and Uncleanness Mark the Text The Body is not for Fornication but for the Lord see ver 18. How the Apostle pleads against this Sin as being more against the Body than other Sins Flee Fornication saith he The reason follows Every sin that a man doth is without the Body but he that committeth Fornication sinneth against his own Body i. e. Although the Body be the Organ or Instrument to execute other sins yet the matter which by
