Author of that Tract which hath this Title The Death of Christ the Death of Death 1 Cor. 13.13 And now abideth Faith Hope Love these three but the greatest of these is Love Litera scripta manet non ita verba diu Litera sculpta manet non itā scripta diu LONDON Printed by Thomas Snowden for the Author An. 1680. TO THE SERIOUS and SPIRITUAL READER READER SOlomon the Sage of Israel hath transmitted this Sentiment of his unto posterity Eccl. 12.12 Of making many Books there is no end and much study is a weariness to the flesh But though there may be a weariness in well-doing yet there should not be a weariness of well-doing for as 't is inconsistent with the truth of grace to be weary of well-doing so 't is incumbent upon the truly gracious not to be weary in well-doing Gal. 6.9 Let us not be weary in well-doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not There is a possibility a probability yea a certainty of persevering Job 17.9 The righteous shall hold on his way and he that hath clean hands shall add strength to strength Those that have an imputed and imparted or implanted righteousness shall certainly persevere in their spirituals and morals in their inward and outward way in the way of their Heart and in the way of their Hand The wayes of the Lord are right Hos 14.9 and the just shall walk in them but the transgressors shall fall therein Reader may not the Lip and the Pen offend two wayes Negatively by not speaking or writing as well as positively by speaking or writing But this may be objected that I bring Straw into Egypt a Country abounding with Corn Ne plus ultra that I draw a picture after Apelles that I write an Iliad after Homer that I do that which hath long since been done by protestant Heroes Nil dictum quod non prius dictum and that there is nothing spoken which was not before spoken My reply with all humility follows 'T is true I may much more than others apologize for my self being the Benjamin of my Fathers house and say what am I so little to appear in an Essay so great What is a Muscle-shell to empty an Ocean Can my Line sound these Depths Here is Faith which hath the person of Christ for Object here is Hope which hath Heaven for Object here is Love which hath the personal excellency of Christ for Object But though my Line cannot sound this Bottom may I not let it down If I cannot appear as a Cedar in Lebanon may I not appear as a Shrub in the Valley May I not cast a Mite into the Lords Treasury if I have no more to cast May I not bring a little Goats hair that may contribute towards the erection of the Temple if I have nothing better to bring A Book may speak when the Author doth not when the Author dares not when the Author may not when the Author is not It was the saying of an Emperor say little to others Conrade Pauca cum aliis tecum multa but more to thy self It was also the saying of a Monarch Qui nescit tacere nescit loqui Hen. 6. He that knoweth not how to be silent knoweth not how to speak But silence when Truth is wounded is a loud Sin God sent the book of Nature before he sent the book of Scripture God hath two books the book of his Works and the book of his Word the book of the Creatures and the book of the Scriptures The former is a very large Volume or rather containeth many Volumes a whole Library The latter divideth it self into the old and new Testament This is Mans book but there is Gods book the sacred Scripture which is the Book of Books I would not be guilty of that vanity in out-bidding my self and if I be not then I do assert with the greatest confidence and innocence that I would not appear with wisdom of Words and yet I would not appear without words of wisdom that I had much rather with Luther my book should not be read than that Gods book should be left unread yea than that should not be first and last most and best read Reader I begin to be weary of reading those books wherein I find not the NAME OF CHRIST In this Book thou shalt find this name which is a name above every name Phi. 2.9 10. that at this name every knee may bow things in Heaven Angels and the spirits of just men made perfect things on earth Saints and Sinners things under the earth infernal Spirits The Proconsul in Asia in the time of Justin Martyr did forbid the Christians to read any books that spake of a Christ Is this a wonder Peter and John were commanded not to speak at all Act. 4 18. nor teach in the name of Jesus It is said of one that he had a rare felicity in reading of books Perkins he did as it were but turn them over yet would give an account of all that was considerable in them he perused books so speedily that one would have thought he had read nothing and yet so accurately that one would have thought he had read all Erasmus saith that he learned more from one short page of Luthers writing than from all the great Books of Thomas Aquinas Though more may be learned in reading one line of Gods book than in reading all the leaves of Mans book and if thou beest spiritual thou wilt find a vast difference in reading the one and the other yet if Christ be with thee thou mayst learn something in reading the book of man I like thorough grace books under a divine Design that are sent into the world for Truth rather than Triumph and for Verity rather than Victory A pretension to satisfie every Reader would be as ridiculous as his Essay who studied to make a Vestment for the Moon that might suit her under every interchange And as improbable for Success as his Enterprize who with a dish of one Radish would satisfie every pallate Reader if thou beest curious and critical unto an Excess I despair of pleasing thee because thou wilt be finding fault besides the faults that are to be found As therefore I have not been writing in haste so be not thou reading in haste Eternitati pingo Xeuxis but as one painted for an eternity so do thou read for an eternity It hath been said THREE THINGS Tria sunt omnia ARE ALL THINGS The Father purposing the Son purchasing the Spirit perfecting here are three things they are great things they are as it were all things As the hypostatical union or Vnion of natures in Christ is the Wonder of VVonders so a Trinity in
