TWO Funeral Sermons OF THE Use and Happiness OF HUMANE BODIES Preached on 1 CORINTH vi 13. Now the Body is not for Fornication but for the Lord and the Lord for the Body WITH A brief Account of the Life and Death of Mr. G. Lorimer Merchant upon the occasion of whose Death the second Sermon was Preacht By Edward Lawrence M. A. Minister of the Gospel London Printed by J. R. for T. Parkhurst at the Bible and Three Crowns in Cheapside 1690. TO THE READER Reader THou hast many Discourses of the Souls of Men And here I offer thee one Plain and Short Discourse of Mans Body yet also with respect to the Soul It will cost thee but a very little Time to read it and but a very little Money to buy it If it may be of any use to preserve thee from wasting thy Time at the Door of Eternity and from losing thy Soul in a vain Religion and to save thee from a stinging Death and tormenting Eternity I have my end Febr. 17th 1689 90. Thy Servant for Jesus sake Edward Lawrence THE BODY FOR THE LORD 1 COR. 6.13 Now the Body is not for fornication but for the Lord and the Lord for the Body IT is ordinary for Nations and Cities Families and Persons to be in a special manner inclined to some particular sins The Cretians were branded for a Lying People Tit. 1.12 The Cretians are always Lyars And the Jews also to whom St. James writes seem by his Epistle to be much addicted to the Sins of the Tongue and this is exemplified in the Corinthians which were much given to Fornication and therefore we read that in Corinth there was a Temple erected for this Sin One reason of the prevalency of this Sin amongst them was an Opinion of the Gentiles which prevailed in Corinth that Fornication was no sin but a thing indifferent Hereupon the Apostle in this Chapter pleads against this Sin the argument he uses against it is That this sin is against the right use of the Body of Man Now saith he The Body is not for Fornication c. The words shew us the true and proper use of Mans Body And this is express't 1. Negatively the Body is not for Fornication 2. Affirmatively But for the Lord And this is amplified by another proposition which shews why the Body is and ought to be for the Lord viz. The Lord is for the Body By the Lord is here meant the Lord Jesus Christ as appears by his being mentioned with God the Father ver 14. and hath both raised up the Lord. The words chiefly teach us Two Doctrines I. The Body of Man is for the Lord Jesus Christ II. The Lord Jesus Christ is for the Body of Man I. The Body of Man is for the Lord Jesus Christ Method 1. What is meant by the Body of Man 2. What is it for the Body of Man to be for the Lord. 3. The reasons of the Doctrine 4. Use By the Body of Man is meant that visible and essential part of Man which is distinct from the Soul and Spirit this is that part of Man which was at first form'd out of the dust of the ground Gen. 2.7 and at death returns to the Earth when the Spirit returns to God that gave it Eccles 12.7 This is visible may be seen and felt and therefore Christ demonstrates his Body by this Luke 24.39 Behold my hands and my feet handle and see for a Spirit hath not Flesh and Bones as ye see me have 3. This is distinct from the Soul as appears verse the last of this Chapter Glorifie God in your Body and in your Spirit viz. In your Body and Soul Now this Body is for the Lord which implies Four things 1. The Body with all the Members of it in particular are for the Lord. The Eyes Ears Tongus Hands Feet are for the Lord. They have all work to do for the Lord Christ And it s a great piece of Skill to understand what is the main use we are to make of our Senses and of the Members and Limbs of our Bodies What is the chief work these are to be employed in they are to be used for the Lord they are to work for the Lord Christ 2. The Life Health Strength and Activity of all these is for the Lord Rom. 14.8 Whether we live we live unto the Lord If we have better Health and Strength than others it is that in the use thereof we may do more for the Lord than others 3. All things that are for the use and service of the Body are to be used for the Lord that with them you should serve him What Christ appointed his Disciples to say in a special case concerning the Ass and the Colt Mat. 21.3 The Lord bath need of them is true in ordinary cases The Lord hath need or use for them your Money Cattel Corn Goods and Apparel that with them you should serve him your Meat and Drink Preferments and Estates Houses and Lands are for the good of your Bodies but you must eat and drink to the Lord 1 Cor. 10.31 You must honour the Lord with your substance Prov. 3.9 When you buy or sell or build be able to say I get this Money for the Lord I trade in this Shop for the Lord I build these Houses for the Lord. The Lord Jesus shall have all at his service and for his Glory The Heavens Earth Seas c. must praise the Lord by your Mouths 4. All the time of Bodily Service The time wherein we are in the Body is for the Lord. Ps 148.12 13. Both young Men and Maidens old Men and children let them praise the name of the Lord. A young Boy or Girl hath work to do for the Lord. You should make all your Works and Recreations serviceable to the Lord. There is no time but you may find something to do for God 2. What is it for the Body to be for the Lord Account in seven particulars 1. It is for the Lord chiefly This doth not exclude our Natural much less our Spiritual Self Neither doth it exclude our Families Relations or the Publick the Body is for all these in their places but chiefly for the Lord and for all these things in and to the Lord. The Body is for Food and Raiment for to get Money and Wealth c. in their places but the Body with all these must be for the Lord as the last end You may take all the good God hath put in any Creature for your use and service but you must honour and serve God in the use of it And it s most certain that any Creature is best to you and you have most of the Comfort and sweetness of it when you do honour and serve God with it You will eat and drink with as true gladness of Heart as any Man alive when you eat to the Lord and drink to the Lord and you may get and keep riches with as much diligence
