unto him in heaven and in Earth The exercise of which power he would first have to be manifested in discipling whole Nations of the Gentiles Matt. 28.18 19. receiving them into Covenant by the Sacrament of Baptisme as the Jews were by the Sacrament of Circumcision Where the word Nation in order to the Gentiles must without controversie be taken in the same sense as it was with a reference unto the Jews for as the Nation of the Jews was made up of all sorts and sexes old and young so in like manner are the Nations of the Gentiles And because his commission which he then gave unto his Apostles was not formed according to the erroneous fancy of these deluded people who in effect render it thus Go and Disciple all men But thus Go and Disciple all Nations baptising them in the name c. And Children being a part of the Nations we may conclude without any hesitancy that the intent and purpose of the Lord in this commission to his Apostles was that they should wheresoever they came baptise the Children as well as the Parents And seeing he came to break down the wall of partition that was between Jews and Gentiles which was actually done in the execution of this Commission It is not to be imagined that he would by it set up a partition-wall between Parents and their Children so as that they should be at as great a distance the one from the other in point of eternal Salvation as Heaven is from Hell A thing he never did in all the Ages before and undoubtedly whatsoever these Dreamers may blasphemously prate against him He hath not done it now because he is still the Same I will not dwell any longer upon the Conviction of these obstinate people least the more reason be shewed unto them out of the Scripture to lead them into the way of truth they be thereby according to their usual wont the more hardened in their errour The Lord open their eyes that they may see betimes what dishonour they bring unto Jesus Christ in the diminution of his power by their frantick Opinions What disturbance they create unto his Church and consequently what hazard they run notwithstanding their conceited assurance of their own everlasting Salvation We have now done with this second particular viz. Jesus Christ is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Same to day which he was yesterday that is The Same to his Church in the time of the gospel which he was in the time both before and under the Law CHAP. III. Sheweth how JESUS CHRIST shall continue to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Same for ever Vnto his Church WE should now according to our prescribed method come to speak of the third course or computation of time here mentioned in the Text and of that which is predicated of it viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jesus Christ the Same or the onely He for ever But to avoid Prolixity which hath already spun out the former parts into a greater length then was intended we shall not distinguish this into several propositions as hath been done with those before Neither indeed can we be able to speak of what shall come upon the Church in the continuation of this day of the Gospel to the end of the world Onely this we can say because the Holy Ghost witnesseth it That persecutions and Afflictions do abide it but withall that Jesus Christ will be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 unto it which he ever hath been Hereupon therefore shall we fix the short remainder of our discourse deriving some inferences from it for the further edification of those that take pleasure in beholding the immutability of the Lord Jesus Observe then In the midst of all the various changes and chances that may come upon the Church to the end of the world Jesus Christ will be unto it still The Same No variableness nor shadow of turning shall ever be found in him either in his Mediation with the Father or in the dispensation of his power among his people But he will be Semper idem Alwayes the Same Now herein we can but speak of the exercise of Christs Mediatory office as we have already done and therefore it will be needless to spend many words about it As he began so he will continue to be the Prophet Priest and King of his Church The same word of truth which he hath revealed he will still continue no addition unto it or diminution from it will he ever suffer his Gospel is an everlasting Gospel Rev. 14.6 1 Pet. 1.25 His word abideth for ever And if an Angel from Heaven should come and preach any other we must therefore much more will he ho'd him accursed Gal. 1.8 He is a Priest for ever according to the oath of God not to be retracted saith the Prophet Hath an unchangeable Priest-hood saith the Apostle Ps 110.4 Heb. 7.24 A Priest established in his Dignity as master and Lord by virtue of his Son-ship not like unto the servants the Priests of Aaron's order Who when they entred into the most Holy place were not there to sit but otherwise to execute their office according to the order prescribed unto them by Moses Heb. 10 11 They stood as became servants saith the Apostle ministring before the Lord. But Jesus Christ when he had offered one Sacrifice for sins for ever and according to the Law entred into the holy place to finish the Atonement Sat down on the right hand of God noting the perpetuity of his office according to the dignity of his person and that he ever liveth which was not possible for any other to do to make intercession Dan. 7.14 Mach. 4.7 His Throne in like manner is for ever and ever His Kingdom an everlasting Kingdom and his Dominion endureth throughout all Generations No Salvation then to be expected for ever Act 4.12 but onely by him No other Name under Heaven given among men from the beginning of the world to the end of it whereby we must be saved For before him as he saith of himself there was no God formed Es 43 10 or rather as it may be rendred nothing formed of God for any such purpose as to be a Saviour Ec. 2.12 Ps 145.11 12. neither shall there be after him What alas can the man do that cometh after the King What He may speak of the glory of his Kingdom and talk of his power to make known to the Sons of men his mighty acts and the glorious Majesty of his Kingdom But to imitate him in his power and his mighty Acts or to compare with him in the Majesty of his Kingdom would not onely be a contempt cast upon his Crown and Dignity but an utter impossibility and a meere vanity for men or angels to attempt it They poor Creatures being infinitely unfit and unworthy must let that alone for ever and they that will expect it of them will finde it to be folly

One while making known his Grace under the Promise of the Seed of the Woman breaking the Serpents head which in all likelyhood was the constant Doctrine that the Patriarchs those Preachers of Righteousness in the first Age of the World insisted upon So Luther speaking of Enoch saith Summâ fiduciâ prae aliis Patriarchis Satanae Cainitarum ecclesiae se opposuit confitendo semen mulieris praedicando de conterendo capite Serpentis Another while entituling himself The Lord God of Shem Gen. 9.26 27. who first of all Men upon Earth had God entailed unto him in a special reserved sort of peculiar Appropriation and Noah prophecies concerning him that God should dwell in his Tents that is So Musculus Meo judicio simplicius est ut intelligamus loqui Noc de Deo qui fuerit habit turus in Tabernaculis Shem i e.

professing that this should be his Name for ever and his Memorial to all Generations that is till the time of Regeneration should come spoken of Mat. 19.28 Thus diversly did the Light of that Day break out and shine forth which various Light is now vanished and another more firm and steddy more resplendent and glorious displaies his Beams over our Horizon for in these last daies God hath spoken unto us by his Son and that not in part but this Messenger of the Covenant hath made known the whole Counsel of God nor obscurely for with open face we may behold as in a Mirroir the Glory of the Lord and the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God shineth now clearly to us in the face of Jesus Christ Now the kindness and love of God towards man hath appeared more plentifully more clearly then ever before being now discovered unto the Church under the Title of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in whom he hath opened all the Treasures of his bounty in whom his Name is more magnified and his Grace more exalted then Yesterday in all the Ages that were from the beginning From all which it appeareth that the time of the Old Testament with the whole Order and Institute of it is a Day that is past being Yesterday and therefore not to be recalled Which being so this serveth then for the conviction of all those who in this Day will be still groping after the obscure Light of Yesterday The first sort that come under this Censure are the Jews who are still of Yesterday and will know nothing of the Light of this present Day Poor people what wait you for Let me speak unto you in the words of truth and soberness Your Fathers of old did well to take heed unto that sure Word of Prophecy gi●en unto them by the holy Spirit of God as unto a Light that shined in a dark place whereby they did foresee and acknow●edge the expiration of their Day even in the same manner as it hath already come to pass and did discern afar off this present Day which the Lord hath made Rejoycing in it Oh that you would now also in this Day when the Sun of Righteousness hath gotten up into the Meridian of his full Strength take Counsel of the same Word too possibly your eyes may then be opened so as you may plainly perceive the Change that hath been wrought how the great God who hath the Times and Seasons in his own Power hath concluded the Light of Yesterday not onely in Demolishing your Temple and Depriving you of all your Glory but in the full Accomplishment of all whatsoever was written in that Word concerning the Messiah who is the Light of this our Day If you have not Faith to believe this let the faith of the Gentiles convince you of your Unbelief Is it not a clear demonstration without all controversy seeing Light is sprung up to the Gentiles who sat in Darkness that the former Light is vanished and utterly destitute of its Brightness I speak not of a few Proselytes that might be gathered unto you from among the Nations but that whole Nations and Kingdoms should so Unanimously joyn together to believe in the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and with one voice to cry out as they did of old 1 Reg. 8.39 Jehovah is the God Jehovah is the God What can it argue but that God hath taken them into Covenant with himself even as he hath done you Time was indeed when you were his peculiar People Deut. 4.7 Ps 147.19 20. and there was no Nation how great soever that had the true God so nigh unto them as you had in all things that you called upon him for Hee made known his Word unto Jacob his statutes and his judgments unto Israel He did not deal so with any Nation and as for his judgments we did not know them But now every Nation that worketh righteousness and feareth God is accepted of him now may we make our boast of Abraham as well as you if we walk in the steps of the Faith of our Father Abraham for we finde it by experience to our Comfort that God hath made him according to his Promise the Father of many Nations Gen. 17.5 God doth not now limit his Presence to an Ark as he did before but as it was Prophecyed by Malachi from the rising of the Sun even to the going down of the same Mal. 1.11 his Name is great among the Gentiles and in every place for no place is now Unclean Incense is offered unto his Name and a pure offering for the Lord of Hostes had said it and his Word must stand that his Name should be great among the Heathen Yea and the Prophet Esaiah likewise telleth us Es 11.10 that In that day that is another Day distinct from that wherein the Prophet lived there shall be a root of Jesse that is a sprig sprouting out and springing up from Jesse as from a Root which shall stand up for an Ensign of the people To it shall the Gentiles seek that is repair and flock together as to their Sanctuary and Refuge wherein they shall trust Now what have we Gentiles to do with Jesse were it not for Jesus this Root should for ever have lain hid in the Earth and we should have joyned with those who once said Look to thine own House David were it not for the Son of David in whom we trust Alas alass your continued Contempt of us
