great Point Whether we lie under the aforesaid danger or have made our escape out of it the Determination of this depends upon the indwelling of Christ in the Soul Let us then put it to the Question Is Christ in us or no And if we would satisfie our selves herein we must search 1 What Freedoms we enjoy by Christ his in-being in our selves 2 Cor. 3.17 Where the Spirit of God is there is Liberty If Christ be in us by his Spirit he hath set our Souls at Liberty There is a sort of Liberty peculiar to the People of God John 8.36 If the Son make you free ye shall be free indeed This Freedom is Demonstrative that Christ is in us and by his Spirit hath set us free Now there is a twofold Freedom that the Spirit gives to all in whom it dwells viz. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Spirit 1. Freedom of Speech whereby especially in Secret they are enabled to pour our the desires of their Souls unto the Lord with much enlargedness of Heart I say especially in Secret to distinguish these enlargements from enlargements in Publick Exercises drawn out by outward incouragements A Hypocrite praying in his Family or with the Church whereof he is a Member for Ostentation sake and Affectation of applause puts forth his Parts to the utmost and is oft much enlarged But he is seldom in Closet Prayer and commonly flat and with little Life but the Children of God find their Secret Enlargements exceed their Publick Enlargements It 's in Secret that Christ and his Spouse have the sweetest embraces 2. Freedom of Spirit viz. From the Bondage of Sin and Captivity of Satan Rom. 8.9 Ye are not in the Flesh if the Spirit dwell in you that is ye are not in a Carnal Estate and under the Dominion of the Flesh the Spirit of God is a pure and Powerful Spirit and will overcome the Flesh and keep it in Subjection that though Sin remain yet it doth not Reign It 's a subdued Rebel and kept under by the Spirit yet will be raising up new Rebellions in the Soul The Flesh will be Lusting against the Spirit but in the main the Spirit is the prevailing Principle and doth enable the Soul more and more to die unto Sin and live to Righteousness 2ly What Fellowship we have with Christ in his Ordinances The natural Man hath no Fellowship with Christ in his Ordinances but the Children of God have Men in the State of Nature are Strangers to Communion with God Psal 94.20 Shall the Throne of Iniquity have Fellowship with thee No no They have no Fellowship with thee 1 John 1.6 If we say we have Fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie Such as have Fellowship with the unfruitful works of Darkness have no Fellowship with Christ But it 's the Priviledge of the Children of God to live in Fellowship with the Trinity 1 John 1.3 Truely our Fellowship is with the Father and the Son It 's an Assertion with an Asseveration Christians are no sooner Effectually called but they are admitted into this Fellowship 1 Cor. 1.9 God is Faithful by whom we were called unto the Fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ dwelling in the Soul doth verifie the Truth of this can Christ and a Christian live together and not have Communion together No if Christ be in us there will be Communion betwixt Christ and Us. And this Communion is a Manifestation of his abode in us Now then let us examine our selves hereby do we experimentally know what this Mistery of Communion betwixt Christ and the Soul meaneth Do we feel and find it in our selves Have we a Receptive Participation from God in our selves that Dilates Revives and Refresheth the Soul above what any sensible sublunary thing doth or can do and leaves behind it a relish which raiseth in us a singular Love to and Delight in the Ordinances how Familiarly doth God sometimes carry it towards his People he takes them into his Banquetting-House and his Banner over them is Love he Dandles them upon his Knees embraceth them in the Arms of his Love and speaks comfortably to them sometimes he gives in such a Sense of Sin as makes them weep with Grief and Godly Sorrow and dissolves their Souls into Penitential Tears And sometimes such a sight of Grace and such symptoms of Love as makes them weep for Joy and Solace If it hath been thus with us at any time it proceeds from the influence of the Spirit in us and is demonstrative of the Presence of Christ in our Souls 3ly What first Fruits of the Spirit is there in us A natural Heart is barren ground destitute of the Fruits of the Spirit but when Christ comes into the Soul he changeth the Soil and makes it fruitful And all the good Fruit that it brings forth are the Fruits of the Spirit and discover the State of the Soul and declare the goodness of the Tree Now the Fruits of the Spirit are divided into First-Fruits and After-Fruits Though the Graces of the Spirit are linkt together and are all in semine in the Seed in the Soul of a Child of God yet some of these Seeds spring up before others and are called the First-Fruits of the Spirit Rom. 8.23 We our selves have the first Fruits of the Spirit Though the Spirit it self be the first Fruit of Glory yet here something more must be understood than the Spirit it self because he speaks not of the first Fruit of Glory in the singular number but of the first Fruits of the Spirit in the Plural number and therefore the first Fruits of the Spirit must be understood of such Fruits as the Spirit causes to spring up in the Soul and there make the first visible Appearance such as saving Knowledge Evangelical Repentance Faith and Love These two last include the two first for there is no true Repentance without Faith nor any true Love without Light to discover the Loveliness of the Object Therefore I 'll confine my self at this Time to the two first Fruits of saving Faith in and sincere Love to Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us Examine then 1. Our Faith whether it be saving Faith This is the uniting Grace that knits Christ and the Soul together and all that truely believe shall be saved For saving Faith though it may be shaken yet it cannot be lost and extinguished It 's a spark that never goes out a durable Dye that cannot be washed away And if we have any Faith though in the least Degree that is of a saving Nature then for sure Christ is in us and we may Hope for Glory Now Paul tells us Heb. 11.1 2. what this Faith is he doth not define it but describe it by its Excellency and Efficacy 1. By its Excellency It 's the Substance of things Hoped for The Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is a Word of that force that no Language can fully express It 's used in Heb.

Guides to direct you what to say and what to do and how to carry it under your Tryals and Troubles and this is secured to you in the Promises you shall not want guidance he hath promised that the Word shall guide you Luke 1.79 And that his Spirit shall guide you John 16.13 And that he himself will be a guide unto you Psa 48.14 And that unto Death as long as you live in the World you shall not want a Guide a Faithful Guide an all-sufficient Guide Wisdom it self will be your Guide Thus you see all your needs are provided for and infallibly secured in the promises upon the account of the Faithfulness of him that hath promised and that the promises may be trusted to because they are infailable And all the great and good things lodged up in the Promise shall certainly be received by Believers either in kind or equivalence What then remains but that all you that are true Believers do make much use of the Promises and lay them up in your hearts as Jewels in your Cabinets and reckon them amongst your choicest Treasures and exercise your Faith in trusting unto them And under all your Trials and Temptations fly to them for refuge pleading them in your Prayers and applying them by Faith to your selves for your Support and Comfort And to afford you some aid herein I have made a Catalogue of the choicest Promises and added thereto the Saints Experiences I did it for my own private use and have found it so useful that I thought my self bound to cause it to be recorded for publick use and commend it to the Christian World as an Antidote against distrustful Fears and Cordial against fainting Fits and assure such as faithfully make use of it that their Labour will not be in vain the Lord but that if they by Faith suck those Breasts of Consolation they will afford them much Sweetness and Soul Refreshment A CATALOGUE of many choice Promises of God verifyed in the Experiences of the Godly Published for the Use of Beleivers to support their Faith and suppress their Fears in the days of their Pilgrimage THe breasts of Consolation Are full had we but skill To tug and suck our precious Souls With Comfort they would fill Distrust be gone let Faith come on And play its skilful part The Promises of God are his That trusts him in his heart Physick and Food and all that 's Good The Promises contain Faith play thy Part and use thy Art That I this good may gain First Promises of Provision for the Supply of the Body Oh fear the Lord ye his Saints for there is no lack to them that fear him The Lyons lack and suffer hunger but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing Psa 34.9 10. When the Poor and needy seek water and there is none and their Tongue faileth for thirst I the Lord will hear them I will make the Wilderness a pool of Water Isa 41.17 Behold the fouls of the Air for they neither sow nor reap yet your heavenly Father feedeth them are ye not much better then they Mat. 6.26 Take no thought saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewith shall we be cloathed for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you v. 31 32.
