Word of Exhortation seeing God compels us not but gently drawes us and neither to expect that God by Enthusiasme and immediate revelation without the word should inspire us or yet so farre to presume on Gods decree of praedestination of us either the one way or the other as either to expect and hope to attaine eternall Life being the end without a care●●ll conscionable constant use of the Meanes or yet to despaire of attaining ●nto Life if wee with any good conscience doe use the Meanes SECT 32. THe consideration o● our Election The certainty of Gods election and of Gods grace shold whet our diligence to all good duties whether we have the knowledge o● it or no and the certaine and infallible performance of all Gods promises which wee have so fully proved should whet our diligence in all good duties teaching us to labour earnestly for Faith and all other saving graces which as they are the meanes of our Salvation so are they the evidence of our Election As we are chosen to Salvation and to attaine it through sanctification of the Spirit and beleef of the Truth So are we to give all diligence to make our calling and Election sure 2 Thes 2.13 2 Pet. 1.10 For saith S. Peter if yee doe these things ye shall never fall As Faith and Repentance like graces are blessings in regard of God so doe befall the Elect most certainely whereof also hee gives them assurance by his most free and absolute promises Ephes 1.3 and by his Covenant of Grace So are they most of them at least duties in regard of us being required of all living especially in the Church and such as from which none may exempt themselves Though then we should know our selves to be elected to life 1 Such as know their election must not neglect the means yet wee are by no meanes to neglect the meanes of Life as hearing of the word Faith Repentance prayer perseverance c. Seeing God hath as well foreordained us to the meanes as to the end to these as well as to life yea to life by these meanes so that if any will neglect the meanes let him never look to attaine the end So that I avow it and say that if it were possible that the Elect should not bee sanctified should not beleeve or not use the meanes being called to the use of them upon that supposall they should never attaine to life but perish eternally So Paul concluded in a like case Hee was assured of safety for himselfe and those that sailed with him yet said he most truly except these the mariners abide in the ship and so use the meanes of safety appointed of God yee cannot be saved Hebr. 12.14 See Acts 27.22.24.25 with verses 30.31 Luke 13.3 Therefore say I to such Follow peace and holinesse without which no man shall see the Lord. And Iohn 8.24 except ye repent yee shall all likewise perish And if ye beleeve not saith Christ that I am he yee shall dye in your sinnes Iohn 3.36 and hee that beleeveth not the Sonne shall not see Life On the other hand Much Iess● should such as know it not a● yet let not the wickedest that truly repent and beleeve despaire of Life Let them do well and they most undoubtedly shall have well God himselfe could say to Cain whom yet hee knew to be a reprobate Gen. 4.7 if thou dost well shalt thou not be accepted And I as truly may say to all one and other as our Saviour in my Text If yee know these things happy are ye if ye doe them Exclude not thou thy selfe Gods Word will not exclude thee doe thou thy duty and attend to the Word as for Gods secret coun●●ll meddle not with it nei●●er search into it and I am sure God hath not revealed to any in particular aforehād that they are reprobates and flye to God though he seeme an enemy unto thee at least put it to this adventure and say to God as the Lepers reasoned concerning the Syrians if he kill us we shall but dye See 2 Kings 7.3.4 And with the Ninivites saying when they heard a terrible threatning absolutely for the forme of it denounced Iona 3.9 who knoweth if God will returne repent c. Repent thou and put it to the tryall otherwise thou shalt most undoubtedly perish thou shalt finde unexpected successe Oh that we durst or would but take tryall of Gods Truth and promised mercies Oh that God would make this exhortation working po●erfully by it effectuall to ●he calling home of his owne But howsoever let us all know that wee must expect an end answerable to our doings All must expect an end answerable to their doings If then saith Paul yee live after the flesh yee shall dye but if through the Spirit yee doe mortifie the deeds of the body yee shall live Be not deceived God is not mocked For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reape Rom. 8.13 For he that soweth to the flesh Gal. 6.7 8. shall of the flesh reape corruption but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reape Life everlasting Cease then to doe evill learne to doe well If ye be willing and obedient Isa 1.16 17 19.20 yee shall eate the good of the Land But if ye refuse and rebell ye shall be devoured with the Sword for the month of the Lord hath spoken it Know it then for a certainty that God will render to every man according to his deeds to them who by patient continuance in weldoing seeke for glory honour Rom. 2.6 7 8 9 10. and immortality eternall Life But to them that are contentious and do not obey the Truth but obey unrighteousnesse Indignation and Wrath Tribulation and anguish upon every soule of man that doth evill But glory honour and peace to every man that worketh good And so I conclude saying with my Text If ye know these things happy are yee if ye doe them A COROLLARIE SECT 33. WHereas Truth is ever consonant to it selfe A generall inference from the foregoing discourse and that there is no reall and true contradiction in the Scriptures but a sweet Harmony and Analogie proportion and correspondence betweene and among all the parts thereof and seeing the Scriptures are so evident and exceeding plaine pregnant and full For the proofe of the powerfull determining and most effectuall operation of Gods grace and of the most certaine performance of Gods conditionall promises by his undoubted working and effecting of the required Conditions themselves according to his most abs●lute and free promises and his new Covenant made in Christ as now hath beene shewed we may from such pregnant proofes and evidence of Scripture cōceive of the truth of such other points and articles Teaching us how to conceive of other controverted points as have either dependance on or reference unto the aforesaid
