subject to the same Conditions in matters Spiritual that Ismael was subject to in matters Temporal The exposition of that Allegory Gal. 4. 24. you have heard ‖ See Book 7. Sect. 2. chap. 12. ● 2. before at large The Apostles Conclusion is the very same with our Saviours here in my Text to wit that This People were to be cast out of the House of God And Treatise of the Catholick Church as Ishmael was cast out of Abrahams house That whilest they remained in it they remained only as Servants or sons of the Bond-woman Book 1. ch 10. more largely not as the Free-born sons of the heavenly Jerusalem Of which Society none are capable save only so far as they are Set Free by the Son who is the Builder and maker of this House of God as the Apostle tels us Heb. 3. 3 4 5 6. For this man was counted worthy of more Glory then Moses in as much as he who hath builded the house hath more honour then the house For every house is builded by some man but he that built all things is God And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a Servant for a Testimony of those things which were to be spoken after But Christ as a Son over his own house whose House are we if we hold fast the Confidence and the rejoycing of the Hope firm unto the end But the best is we need not stand long or Curiously upon the meaning of the Antecedent or manner of the Inference seeing we believe as we are in duty bound that our blessed Saviour was a Prophet most True and most Infallible as well in every Conclusion or Proposition which he uttered as in the Premisses whence he Inferred them or in the manner of the Inference It shall suffice us then to fasten our Belief upon the Conclusion If the Son therefore shall set you Free Then shall ye be Free indeed CHAP. XXIII The Second Discourse or Sermon upon our Saviours words S. JOHN 8. 36. If the Son therefore shall make you Free ye shall be Free indeed That That sowre Reply to Christ We be Abrahams Seed c. was made by those very Jews which are said verse 30 to Believe on Him And That men which for a while Believe may in Temptation or strong assaults of passions Fall away 1. The Coherence THese words contain One of the Most Remarkable Passages and of best use for Surveying the rest of that long Dialogue between our Blessed Lord and a great Assembly of the Jews of divers sorts and Qualities The Dialogue continues from the 12 th verse of this Chapter unto the End The former Part from verse the 12 th to the 30 th contains so many and so Profound my steries concerning the Eternity of Christs God-head and of his mission c. from his Father to this people That for the present I must apply that Saying which the woman of Samaria directed to our Saviour unto my self The well is deep and I have nothing wherewith to draw neither strength of Body of mind or skill nor opportunity if these were greater to present so much of it as I could perhaps draw for mine own use clear and perspicuous to the major part of this Audience in a short discourse Let it suffice then I pray to acquaint you with the Vent or Out-burst of this deep Fountain of Life which none of these Jews could Sound the one half of the Way though all Catechiz'd by the Lord of Life himself The Issue of this Catechism from verse the 12 th you have verse 30 th As he spake these words many believed on him A good Issue of so Gracious a Sermon concerning the Fountain of Life had his Auditors had the Grace to have followed the clear Current of it not mingling it with their own muddy Passions as in the very first Issue or Out-burst they did For our Saviour had no sooner uttered those words of comfort to the Jews which Believed on him If ye continue in my word then are ye my Disciples Indeed and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you Free verse 30. and 32. But some of his Auditors whoever they were Tartly Reply We be Abrahams seed and were never in Bondage to any man how sayest Thou ye shall be made Free verse 33. Unto this passionate Reply or impertinent Interruption our Saviours Rejoynder is Calm and meek but fortified with a double seal of Truth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Verily verily I say unto you whosoever committeth sin is the Servant of sin and the servant abideth not in the house for ever but the son abideth ever verse 34 35. Thus by following the Current of the former words I am fairly arrived at my Text it being our Saviours own Inference out of his former Assertions If the son therefore make you free c. 2. Which sort of Jews made that Passionate Reply to Christ Believers or others But before I can conveniently unfold the meaning of our Saviours former speeches or the Connexion betwixt my Text and Them I must briefly discusse a Question naturally emergent out of the 33. verse to wit whether The Passionate Reply or interruption We be Abrahams seed and were never yet in bondage unto any c. was made by those Jews which in the 30 th verse are said to have Believed on Him or by some other Auditors which did not Believe on him at all but were at least for the time being meer By-standers at this debate Some Interpreters say Vnbelievers Some of the choisest Commentators upon this Gospel are of Opinion that the fore-mentioned sowre Reply We be Abrahams seed and were never in bondage to any man was returned by the Jews which for the present did not Believe More for Believers Yet the greater part of more judicious and discreet Interpreters of our Saviours discourse in this Chapter or of S. Johns Relation of it take it as granted That the Reply was made by those very Jews which verse 30. Believed on him And unto any Rational man specially well conversant in Scriptures or well experienc'd in his own or other mens Affections it will upon short Examination appear that the Contradictory Opinion of Cardinal Tollet and some others could never have found Enterance much lesse any setled habitation or rest in any Learned Mans Judgement or Apprehension unlesse they had been first surprized by that General Incogitancy or common Error from which many plausible Pulpit-men and some otherwise most acute Divines have taken occasion The One sort to deceive their Hearers The Other not to discover the deceitfulnesse of their own hearts Neither of them take it into due consideration that This Word Belief is not a Term Indivisible but admits of many Degrees as well for the Certainty of the * This Great Author in his First Book 1 Ch.
