due to the Ministers of the Gospell by a Law of Iustice. It is a wrong and foolish Apologie to pretend the punishment for the continuance of the fault The poverty of many men is doubtlesse a just recompence for their neglect of the honor of the Gospell For God hath ever severely punished the contempt and dishonor done to his messengers 2 Chron. 16.10.12 2 Chron. 24 21-25 2 Chron. 26.19 20. 2 Chron. 36.16 17. Wheras on the other side doe thou deale faithfully with God fulfill to thy power his appointment and decree that they which preach the Gospell may live by the Gospell and then hearken unto God Honor the Lord with thy substance and the first fruits of all thine increase so shall thy barnes bee filled with plenty and thy presses burst out with new wine Prov. 3.9 10. Consider now from this day and upward from the day that the foundation of the Lords Temple was laid consider it Is the seed yet in the barne From this day I will blesse you Hag. 2.18 19. Yee are cursed with a curse for ye have robbed me even this whole nation Bring yee all the Tithes into the store-house that there may be meat in mine house and prove mee herewith saith the Lord of Hoasts if you will not doe it out of duty yet doe it out of experiment If I will not open you the windowes of heaven and powre you out a blessing that there shall not be roome enough to receive it Mal. 3 9-12 There was never any man lost by paying God his Dues there was never any man thrived by grudging or pittancing the Almighty I will conclude this point with the Apostle It is his Doctrine faithfull Ministers are worthy of double honor And it is his Exhortation Render to all their Dues Tribute to whom Tribute Custome to whom Custome feare to whom feare Honor to whom Honor Rom. 13.3 Note lastly The Priesthood of Christ is an everlasting Priesthood Hee also was without Father and without Mother without beginning of dayes or end of life As man without a Father as God without a Mother The same yesterday and to day and for ever His name was Everlasting Father His Gospell an Everlasting Gospell He was a lamb slaine from the beginning of the world The vertue of his bloud goes backward as high as Adam He was foreordain'd before the foundation of the world 2 Tim. 1.9 The redemption of those that transgressed under the first Testament the remission of sinnes that were past were procured by this Sacrifice Heb. 9.15 Rom. 3.25 It goeth downward to the end of the world he must raigne till all be put under his feete and he must raise up all by the power and vertue of his victory over death Ioh. 5 26-29 And lastly it goeth onward to all immortality for though the Acts and administration of his Priest-hood shall cease when hee shall have delivered the Kingdome to his Father and have brought the whole Church into Gods presence yet the vertue and fruits of those Acts shall bee absolutely eternall for so long as the Saints shall bee in heaven so long they shall enjoy the benefit of that Sacrifice which did purchase not a lease or expiring terme but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an endlesse life an everlasting glory an inheritance incorruptible that fadeth not away reserved in the heaven for them VERSE 5. The Lord at thy Right hand shall strike through Kings in the day of his wrath VERSE 6. Hee shall judge amongst the Heathen he shall fill the places with dead Bodies Hee shall wound the heads over many Countries IN the former part of the Psalme we have had the description of Christs offices of King and Priest together with the effect thereof in gathering a willing people unto himselfe Now here the Prophet sheweth another effect of the powerfull administration of these offices containing his victories over all his enemies allegorically expressed in a Hypotiposis or lively allusion unto the manner of humane victories wherein first I shall in a few words labour to cleere the sense and then the observations which are naturall will the more evidently arise The Lord at thy right hand To lay aside their exposition who understand these words of God the Father the words are an Apostrophe of the Prophet to those at whose right hand the Lord Iesus is Some make it an Apostrophe to God the Father a triumphall and thankfull prediction of that power and Iudgement which he hath given to this his Benjamin the Sonne at his right hand Because that thereby the phrase retaineth the same signification and sense which it had in the first verse As if David had said O God the Father of all power and majesty worthy art thou of all praise thanksgiving and honor who hast given such power to thy Sonne in the behalfe of thy Church as to smite through Kings and judge heathen and pull downe the chiefe of his enemies and to subdue all things to himselfe and these read it thus O Lord hee that is at thy right hand shall strike through Kings c. Others make it to be an Apostrophe to the Church and so to bee a phrase not expressing Christs exaltation as verse 1. But his care and protection over his Church his readinesse to assist and defend his owne people against all the injuries and assaults of adverse power Salomon saith A wise mans heart is at his right hand but a fooles heart is at his left Eccl. 10.2 That is his heart is ready and prepared to execute any wife counsels or godly resolutions as the Prophet David saith My heart is prepared ô God my heart is prepared I will sing and give thankes But a fooles heart when hee should doe any thing is like his left hand to seeke of skill unactive and unprepared when hee walketh by the way his heart faileth him vers 3. And this readinesse and present helpe of God to defend and guide his Church is expressed frequently by his being at the right hand thereof Because the Lord is at my right hand I shall not bee moved Psal. 16.8 Hee shall stand at the right hand of the poore to save him Psal. 109.31 I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand saying unto thee feare not I will helpe thee Esai 31.13 As if David had said Bee not dismayed nor cast downe ô yee subjects of this King as if being exalted to Gods right hand hee had given over the care and protection of his people for as hee is at the right hand of his Father in glory and majesty so is he at your right hand too standing to execute judgement on your enemies and to reveale the power of his arme towards you in your protection Now the reasons of this phrase and expression as I conceive are these two First to note that Christs power providence and protection doe not exclude but onely strengthen assist and prosper the ordinary and just endeavors of the Church

The Lord said unto my Lord Sit thou at my right hand untill I make thine enemies thy footstoole CHRIST IESVS the Lord is the Summe and Center of all divine revealed truth neither is any thing to be preached unto men as an object of their faith or necessary element of their salvation which doth not some way or other either meete in him or refer unto him All Truths especially divine are of a noble and pretious nature and therefore whatsoever mysteries of his Counsell God hath been pleased in his Word to reveale the Church is bound in her ministerie to declare unto men And Saint Paul professeth his faithfulnesse therein I have not shunned to declare unto you all the Counsell of God But yet all this Counsell which elsewhere he ca●s 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the testimonie of God he gathers together into this one conclusion I determined not to know any thing amongst you that is in my p●eaching unto you to make discovery of any other knowledge as matter of consequence or faith but onely of Iesus Christ and him crucified And therefore Preaching of the Word is called preaching of Christ and Ministers of the Word Ministers of Christ and learning of the Word Learning of Christ because our Faith our Workes and our Worship which are the three essentiall elements of a Christian the whole dutie of man and the whole will of God have all their foundation growth end and vertue only in and from Christ crucified There is no fruit weight nor value in a Christian title but only in and from the death of Christ. The Word in generall is divided into the Old and New Testament both which are the same in substance though different in the manner of their dispensations as Moses veild differ'd from himselfe unveild Now that Christ is the substance of the whole New Testament containing the Historie Doctrine and Prophesies of him in the administration of the latter ages of the Church is very manifest to all The old Scriptures are againe divided into the Law and Prophets for the historicall parts of them doe containe either typicall prefigurations of the Evangelicall Church or inductions and exemplary demonstrations of the generall truth of Gods justice and promises which are set forth by way of Doctrine and Precept in the Law and Prophets Now Christ is the summe of both these they waited upon him in his transfiguration to note that in him they had their accomplishment First for the Law hee is the substance of it hee brought Grace to fulfill the exactions and Truth to make good the prefigurations of the whole Law The ceremoniall Law he fulfilled and abolished the morall Law hee fulfilled and established that his obedience thereunto might be the ground of our righteousnesse and his Spirit and grace therewith might bee the ground of our Obedience And therefore it is called the Law of Christ. 2 For the Prophets he is the Summe of them too for to him they give all witnesse He is the Author of their Prophesies they spake by his Spirit and he is the object of their Prophesies they spake of the grace and salvation which was to come by him So that the whole Scriptures are nothing else but a Testimonie of Christ and faith in him of that absolute and universall necessitie which is laid upon all the world to beleeve in his name It is not onely necessitas praecepti because wee are thereunto commanded but necessitas medii too because he is the onely Ladder betweene earth and heaven the alone mediator betweene God and man in him there is a finall and unabolishable covenant established and there is no name but his under heaven by which a man can be saved In consideration of all which for that I haue formerly discovered the Insufficiency of any either inward or outward principle of mans happinesse save only the Life of Christ I have chosen to speake vpon this Psalme and out of it to discover those wayes whereby the Life of Christ is dispenced administred towards his Church For this Psalme is one of the cleerest and most compendious prophesies of the Person and Offices of Christ in the whole Old Testament and so full of fundamentall truth that I shall not shunne to call it Symbolum Davidicum the Prophet Davids Creed And indeed there are very few if any of the Articles of that Creed which we all generally professe which are not either plainely expressed or by most evident implication couched in this little modell First the Doctrine of the Trinitie is in the first words The Lord said unto my Lord. There is Iehovah the Father and My Lord the Sonne and the sanctification or consecration of him which was by the Holy Ghost by whose fulnesse he was anointed unto the Offices of King and Priest for so our Saviour himselfe expounds this word Said by the sealing sanctification of him to his office Ioh. 10.34 35 36. Then wee have the Incarnation of Christ in the word My Lord together with his dignitie and honor above David as our Savior himselfe expounds it Matth. 22.42.45 Mine that is my Sonne by descent and genealogie after the flesh and yet my Lord too in regard of a higher sonship We have also the S●fferings of Christ in that he was consecrated a Priest v. 4. to offer up himselfe once for all and so to drinke of the brooke in the way Wee have his Eluctation and conquest over all his enemies and sufferings his resurrection he shall lift up his head his Ascension and Intercession sit thou on my right hand And in that is comprised his Descent into Hell by S. Pauls way of arguing That he ascended what is it but that hee descended first into the lower parts of the earth Eph. 4.9

the will and consent of the Iudge to whom the debt is due and to whom it belongeth in the right of his jurisdiction to appoint such a forme of proceeding for the recovery of his right as may stand best with the honour of his person and the satisfaction of his justice who if he would might in rigour have refused any surety and have exacted the whole debt of those very persons by whose onely default it grew And thus it comes to passe that by grace we have fellowship with the second Adam as by nature with the first 1 Cor. 15.45 48. So then betweene Christ and us there must be an unity or else there can be no imputation And therefore it is that we are said to be justified by faith and that faith is imputed for righteousnesse Rom. 4.5 not the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 credere the act of beleeving as if that were in se accounted righteousnesse as it is a worke proceeding from us by grace because it is Vinculum and instrumentum unionis the bond of union betweene us and Christ and by that meanes makes way to the imputation of Christs righteousnesse unto us Therefore we are said to be buried and crucified in and with Christ by the vertue of faith concorporating Christ and a Christian together and communicating the fellowship of his sufferings and resurrection Rom. 6.6 Gal. 6.14 Ephes. 3.17 Phil. 3.10 If I be lifted up saith our Saviour I will draw all men after me crucem conscendit me illuc adduxit when Christ hanged on the crosse we in a sort were there too As in Adam we were all in Paradise by a naturall and seminall vertue so in Christ by a spiritual vertue wherby in due time faith was to be begotten in us and so we to have an actuall being of grace from him as after our reall existence we have an actuall being of nature from Adam Thus wee see that Christ did for us fulfill all righteousnesse by his passive meriting and making satisfaction unto the remission of sinnes By his active covering our inabilities and doing that in perfection for us which we could not doe for our selves First he suffered our punishment he was wounded for our transgression he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed Esay 53.5 If it be here objected that an innocent person ought not to suffer for a nocent for guilt is inseparable from sinne The son shall not beare the iniquitie of his father neither shall the father beare the iniquitie of the sonne the soule that sinneth the same shall die Ezek. 18.20 For the cleering of this objection we must note that there is a two-fold manner of guilt as I before touched either such as growes out of sinne inherent which is the deserving of punishment as it is in us or such as growes out of sinne imputed and that not by reason of union naturall as the guilt of Adams sinne is imputed unto us which manner of imputation is likewise funda●entum demeriti and causeth us to deserve punishment but voluntary by way of vadimony and susception And so guilt is onely a free and willing obnoxiousnesse unto that punishment which another hath deserved Amongst sinfull men it is true that the sonne shall not beare the punishment of the fathers sinne first because he is altogether personally distinct Secondly because he is not appointed so to doe as Christ was Ioh. 10.18 Thirdly because hee is not able to beare them so as to take them off from his father as Christ did ours He was himselfe able to stand under our punishment without sinking and was able by suffering them to take them off from us because his person was answerable in dignitie and therefore by the grace of God and the act of his Divine jurisdiction in ordering the way to his owne satisfaction equivalent in justice unto all ours Fourthly because he hath alreadie too many of his owne to beare But yet if the wil of the son goe along with the father in●sinning it is not strange nor unusuall for him to suffer for his fathers and his owne sin together as for the continuation of the same offence because though hee doe not will the punishment as Christ did ours yet imitating and continuing the sin there is Volitum in causa for the punishment too Now for an answer and resolution of the question whether an innocent person may suffer for a nocent wee must note first that God out of his Dominion over all things may cast paines upon an innocent person as it is manifest he did upon Christ And what ground of complaint could any creature have against God if he should have created it in fire and made the place of its habitation the instrument of its paine Doe not wee our selves without cruelty upon many occasions put creatures that have not offended us unto paine Secondly it is not universally against equity for one to suffer the punishment of anothers sinne we see the infants of Sodome Babylon Aegypt of Corah Dathan and Abiram were involved in the punishment of those sinnes of which themselves were not guilty The Lord reserveth to himselfe the punishment of the fathers on the children hee punished the sinnes of three hundred and ninety yeares all together Ezek. 4.2.5 C ham committed the sinne and yet Canaan was cursed for it Gen. 9.22.25 The sinne was Gehezies alone and yet the leprosie cleaved not to him onely but to his posterity 2 King 5.27 The sinne of crucifying Christ was the Jewes in that age alone and yet wrath is come upon them to the uttermost even unto this day Matth. 27.25 1 Thes. 2.16 Achan trespassed alone but he perished not alone but his sonnes and his daughters and all that he had with him Iosh. 7.24 1 King 21.21 Iudg. 9.56 1 King 2.33 Ierem. 22.30 Thirdly the equity hereof in the case of Christ doth herein plainely appeare when all parties are glorified and all parties are willing and well pleased there is no injury done unto any and in this the case is so first All parties are glorified the Father is glorified in the obedience of his Sonne I have both glorified my name and I will glorifie it againe Ioh. 12.27 28. I have glorified thee on earth I have finished the worke which thou gavest me to doe Ioh. 17.4 The Sonne is glorified Thou madest him a little lower than the Angels and crownedst him with glory and honour Heb. 2.7 Ioh. 17.5 and the sinner is glorified I will that where I am they may be also that they may behold my glory c. Ioh. 17.24 secondly All parties are willing first the Father is willing for by his Ordination he appointed Christ to it Act. 4.27 28. by his love and tender Compassion he bestowed Christ upon us Ioh. 3.16 by his Divine Acceptation hee rested well pleased in it Matth. 17.5 in one word by his wonderfull Wisedome he
