A59622	The rising sun, or, The sun of righteousnesse shining upon the sons of unrighteousnesse a theological sun-dyal wherein is to be seen the rising, motion, influence and manifold operations of Christ upon the soul ... as also the description of the true believer ... as also the highest degrees and full growth and grace are here delineated ... / by John Sheffeild [sic]	Sheffield, John, fl. 1643-1647.	1654 (1654)	Wing S3064; ESTC R30141	166,752	332

only cast no shadow behind thee in the face of the Sun the Dyals do not in the face of Christ how grosse is it Be full of eyes within without before behind as those living Creatures Revel 4. 6. or those living wheels Ezek. 1. 18. Canst thou the secret sympathy behold Betwixt the bright Sun and the Marigold And not consider that we must no less Follow in life the Sun of Righteousness Let the morning Sun find thee praying with Jacob Gen 32 24. The noon Sun see thee working and the evening Sun see thee meditating with Isaak Gen 24. 63. Let not the Sun when risen see thee sleeping unrisen Sun all day moving behold thee all day standing still and Sunne setting leave thy Lust and Passion not set CHAP. V. The Suns Omnipresence a shadow of Christ. NExt to Christ his Omniscience consider his Omnipresence the ground and cause of that Omniscience In both which respects God may be said to have set his Tabernacle in the Sun which shadowes out both Christs Humanity also is called the Tent or Tabernacle of the Divinity The Sun locally in Heaven is virtually in earth his light heat influence every where overspreading the face of the Sea and Land penetrating the depths of both to the bottom of the sea and to those subterraneous minerals in the bosom and secret chambers of the earth Christ when ascending heaven left his promise as Elijah his mantle with his Disciples Lo I am with you alway to the end of the world And where ever two or three are gathered together in my name I am in the midst of them This may be a sensible Rebuke to the blind Atheists who are not to be dealt with by Scripture or reason who having puâ— out both their own eyes of reason and conscience would pull out Gods also of Omniscience and Omnipresence and having shut out the sense of a Deity out of their own thoughts would dispute the Essence of God out of the world If thou art not a man of Conscience art thou of Reason If not of Reason art thou of Sense Then I shall convince thee Wilt thou believe thy own senses Darest thou trust thine own eyes open them thou seest the light of the Sun or shut them if thou wilt thou feelest the heat of the Sun which though in Heaven is not far from thee but ever round about thee Doth its light scatter all clouds and shall any cloud or darkness cover thee Doth its influence reach the subterraneous cavernes and shall any corner hide thee from the presence of God This great Apostle as some have called it hath preached Heathens out of Atheisme and shall it not Christians Every beam of the Suns visible eye writes upon the heart of a rational man The invisible eye and presence of God is here Among all those abominations represented to Ezekiel the last and most hideous was that posture of faces towards the Sun and backs towards the Temple Solem exosculari Deum exoculare At the same time to see the Sun seeth us and to say the Lord seeth us not but hath forsaken the earth is such brutish reasoning as Heathens have no such Logick Hell hath no such bad Divinity The Heathen by their Logick could see in lumine Numen in the Suns light another Invisible Sun of greater light And Hell it self is not so full of darkness but whatsoever other impieties there remaine there is no room for Atheism Nullus in Inferno est Atheos ante fuit How should this consideration of Christs continual presence both awe and cheer the gracious soul provoking it to faith patience fortitude diligence in the work of God Christ is ever present 1. As an Observer He remembred every of the seven Churches of this in those seven Epistles I know thy works c. 2. As an Assister Lo I am with you alwayes to the end of the world 3. As a strong supporter Jer. 1. 18. They shall fight against theâ— but shall not prevail for I am with thee 4. As a bountiful Rewarder Therefore as all these Epistles begin with novi opera I know thy works they end in vincenti dabo To him that overcometh will I give c. to represent to you continually Christ present as an Observer from the first as a rich rewarder at the last Hence let Godly and wicked both learn to reason as godly Jacob and wicked Laban See if no man be present yet God is ever present Call thy dwelling Mizpah for wheresoever thou art God hath his Watch Tower neer thee CHAP. VI. The fourth Incommunicable Attribute Omni-influence AFter the Omniscience and Omnipresence of Christ already touched let us come to consider that Admirable and Incommunicable Attribute of Omni-influence wherewith the upper and neather Sun are adorned and enriched The Sun hath his residence in heaven only but his Influence is diffused into all the heavenly bodies and to all these Sublunary Creatures air earth water and all the hoste of them yea to those subterraneous Mettals and Minerals hid from the Vultures eye We have the influence and benefit of the Sun in every breath of air bit of bread in each dish of flesh fish fowle yea in each herb used for food or Physick The Sun hath an universal influence upon the Creature in his Generation production vegetation maturation c. So Christ upon the new Creature and upon all his actions and motions Sol homo generat hominem The Sunne and man beget a man the Sun and seed bring forth corn the Sun and showrs bring on Harvest But the Sun is one in every thing So Christ his influence is All in all In works of Nature nothing was made without him at first Joh. 1. 3. In works of Grace nothing is or can be done without him John 15. 3. Without me yee can do nothing Christ in the instruction gives saving knowledge Christ in the conviction worketh repentance Christ and the Promise work faith Christ and the Consolation works peace Accedat Christus ad Elementum fiet Sacramentum Christ and the Element make a Sacrament Christ in the Sacrament makes a rare Feast The Sun hath a various and marvellous influence but our Sun far more The Suns influence of light dispels darkness out of the air Christ out of the soul. The Suns influence of heat takes off the cold from the Creature brings in a reviving warmth but what like the cheering of Christ his love it takes off deadness restores the new Creature Thy favour is better then life sweeter then wine The Suns attractive influence draweth up grosse earthy and watry vapours and converteth them into air Christ in conversion is so attractive that hee drawes earth up to Heaven and turnes Corruption into Grace The Suns dissolving influence again sends downe those Vapors when purged and prepared in rich and fruitful showres and Christ those hearts full of grace and Peace he had before attracted turning again air

flash as the fire of Thorns but joyes maintained with joyes joy leading to joy a standing boundless joy an ending endless Joy whereas the wicked mans joy is brewed with sorrow compassed with it tends to it and ends in it but hath it self no end 8. Unmixt others muddy impure mixt with sin guilt gripes of conscience and when ready to run over cooled with the hand-writing upon the wall the remembrance of his sin the apprehension of Gods wrath But Spiritual joy is the purest thing in the world as the light of the Sun light without darkness as his warmth pure without smell or smoak 9. Permanent never eclipsed not by any disease or danger threatning death 2 Cor. 1. 12. not any distress 2 Cor. 16. 10. as sorrowing but alway rejoicing John 16. 22. Your joy shall no man take from you They must needs swim in Joy whom Christ holds up by the chin And as Josephs bow so the Christians joy must needs abide in strength when hee hath such a wall at his back and such a well at his foot At this Beer-la-hai-roi Hagar may fill her empty bottle as oft as she will and thirst no more 3. This directs what to do when wee complaine wee cannot profit and do not thrive The heart yeilds not the sin decayes not Go to Christ desire to be under the direct beames of the Sunne Trees thrive not in the shady side Cry Blow O North wind and breath O South wind distil O raine and look out thou Sun upon my Garden that the Spices thereof may flow out Let my Beloved come into his Garden and eat his pleasant fruits Hast thou a heart that will not yeild under Judgments his Love can melt it The Manna dissolved by the Suns gentle heat that was hardned and dryed in the Oven or boiling pot Whom the furnace of Judgments burn and the Oven heated with wrath doth bake and harden the melting love of Christ doth mollifie The last and â—orest Vyal upon sin which ends the mystery of iniquity and finisheth Satans Kingdom is poured from the Sunne The brightnesse of Christs appearing is the destruction of Antichrist and is that which alone distroyes the works of the Divel in the heart Cry out therefore with the Church Oh that thou wouldst rent the Heavens and come and make this Mountaine melt and this rock flow at thy presence as when the melting fire burneth the fire causeth the waters to boyle As thou didst of old at Mount Sinai when thou didst terrible things that wee looked not for Is my heart harder then the rock higher then Mount Sinai break this Rock cast down this Mountain Though I have had my part of Terroâ—s and been brayed with the pestle of afflictions though I have not wanted for light yet my heart yeilds not my heart freezeth in the shade in midst of noon day light as in the depth of Winter There is one thing only remains and the work is done Shine out thou Sun of Righteousnesse and with the warme beams of thy favour melt those Rocks of Ice and bring downe these Mountaines of snow Thou causest thy Spirit and warmer breath to blow and the waters flow Psal. 147. 18. 4. Comfort to them that have Christ near to them They are like those Countries near the Line they shall have a perpetual Spring no Autumn A constant Summer no Winter in their year but a renewed and successive harvest These shall never want Grace sufficient and peace necessary Their tree casteth not leaf nor loseth fruit Christ will be both Sun and Shield he will go with you in trouble In the fire go with you and be a Sheild to keep you from burning in the water be a Sun to warm you and keep you from shaking So he was to Jacob Sun by day burnt him not and frost by night starved him not The Lord will create upon every dwelling place in Mount Sion and upon her Assemblies a cloud and smoak by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night for upon all the glory shall be a defence and there shall be a Tabernacle in the day time for a shadow from the heat and for a place of Refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain When the worldlings heart is cold in his belly as Nabal who became as cold as a stone and when like old David thy native heat is decaied so far that no cloathes nor fire can keep thee warm Christ the Shunamite shall lye in thy bosom and cheer thy heart that thou shalt say for joy Aha I am warm the world is well amended with me The Winter is past the rain is over and gone the Flowers appear on the earth the singing of Birds is heard in the air and the voice of the Turtle soundeth and the Spring is come CHAP. XIIII The Suns Regency ANother Property of the Sun is his Regeâ—cy herein a shadow of Christ and his Regal Office The Lord gave the Sun to rule by day 1 His Rule is Monarchical The Sun hath no Peer but is an absolute Monarch So is Christ the sole King and Lawgiver in his Church who will admit of no Compartners in his Government 2. His Dominion is the largest Christ and the Sun no third both the universal Monarchs of the World whose Dominion is without bounds from Sea to Sea and from East to West 3. The Suns Dominion is the most ancient we read of began before mans The Suns the fourth day mans not till the sixth Christ is the everlasting Father who had a Kingdom in Heaven before there was man on Earth Our ancient Families are but of yester day to him The Princes of Zoan are Fools the Counsellors of Pharaoh are brutish How say ye to Pharaoh I am the son of the Wise the son of ancient Kings Egypt above other Nations had ever gloried in her Antiquity 4. For Duration both shall continue to the worlds end These two Monarchs have out lasted all others have seen the fatal dissolutions of royal Families and the Translation of all other Monarchies And both shall determine together when the Sun resigneth his then shall Christ also resigne his Kingdome into the Fathers hands 5. For Power the greatest Potentates Other Kings and Commanders are only titular many times these have uncontroulable commands The Sun hath power over all Creatures the earth aire seas it raiseth stormes and doth allay them gives Law to day and night the worlds first subdividers to winter and summer le ts in both frost and snow by his withdrawing and by his looking out dissolves them The Sun of Righteousnesse hath like but greater power hath all nations times seasons in his dispose He hath for the nations an Iron rod for Antichrist his Vyals and for his Church sharp storms sometimes he permits hereticks le ts lose persecutors and at his pleasure bindeth them up The Dragon he let loose three hundred years the Beast one thousand two

his hard bondage Christ Iesus had that first Testimony before that first and great tentation of forty dayes Moses and Gideon were prepared and forearmed with several signes that they might not dread those difficult undertakings they were set upon if we have well provinder'd the horse over night his Master reckons he may travel him the farther next day Expect some change of weather when thou seest the Sun rising early and shining gloriously 4. Often againe after some great and sad tryal Iacob never so much afraid of Esaus face a little before he saw Gods face and when he heard of Esau coming with his Troops to cut him off hee saw Gods host encamping at Mahanaim to secure him after the Trumpet had sounded louder and louder in Sinai terrours Moses spake and the Lord answered after the last and sorest throw the child is borne And after the great thunderclap heaven is opened and the refreshing showers fall plentifully on the thirsty earth 5. Often even when under the heat and brunt of sorest tryalls and conflicts Holy Steven standing before the Judge who condemned him and the people who shut their ears against his Apology sees heaven open and his Saviour standing up to absolve him in heaven who was condemned on earth in the midst of the fiery furnace the Son of God walked among those precious sons of men Into the dungeon where Paul and Silas were cast the Sun arose and shone out at midnight The spirit of Glory and of God never sits neerer nor rests longer upon any then upon Gods servants under their greatest sufferings 6. Sometimes again after some singular act of a well tryed obedience After that high acting of Abrahams faith and obedience in a ready offering of his son God could not hold but speaks expressely By my selfe I have sworn that in blessing I will blesse thee The like to Jacob after hee had sanctified his whole family and had taken his journey to Bethel the Lord appeared more fully and renewed the former promise and covenant with him 7. But if at none of these forenamed times then usually a while before they taste â—f death The Sun breaks out when near â—â—tting and gives the signe of the faire day â—f eternity following Moses saw not Canaan but at Nebo there saw and dyed Steâ—â—en saw heaven open at his death never before before he had been full of faith now of Assurance before of Courage now of Comfort hee had believed in Christ before â—ow hee beholds him hee was a precious Saint before now like an Angel full of glory from a lower heaven here on earth he ascendes to a higher from vision he goes â—o fruition Iesus Christ gave up the Ghost â—n peace after that bloody agony in the garden his bloudy death on the Crosse and after that double horrour of darknesse The Sun withdrawing his natural and the Father his divine â—ight from his spirit yet all ended well 8. But if not then nor before then certainely immediately upon the dissolution then is this and all the other promises not fulfilled in life perfectly accomplished therefore wee are said here on earth to embrace the promises there to inherite them Here the childe of God is heire of the promises yet as the great heire during minority hath but a smal part not the whole of his inheritance till he come to full age Death is the time to us when we come to that state There are many promises never actually and wholly fullfilled til death then are they all to the full Manyare called Blessedâ— here that are onely so by vertue of a promisâ— to be fulfilled then Blessed are the poor iâ— spirit Blessed such as mourne as hunger anâ— thirst after righteousnesse They have thâ— promise now they have the blessedness anâ— the fruition of the promise then Now juâ— ad rem then jus in re 9. Lastly after all and above all at thâ— day of judgement There shal be a rising oâ— the Sun and a rising of the Saints when thiâ— Bridegroome shal put on his glorious robe attended with ten thousands of his Saints the children of the Bride-chamber and shall be admired in all those that believe hee with his Crowne on his head they with theiâ— Palmes in their hands Then shall bee saiâ— to all that feare his name arise and stand up from the dead and Christ shall give thee light arise and shine for thy light is come Theâ— shall all feare cease teares be wiped away death and finne be svvallovved up in victory darknesse and shadows flye away And thâ— Lamb shall be the Sun this Sun shining iâ— his strength never more to set to all eternity Then shall the Sunne be ashamed and the Moone confounded when the Lord of Hostâ— shall reigne in Mount Zion and in the New Jerusalem and before his Ancients gloriously 1. This shewes that the people of God may expect and meet with sad times here both for themselves and for the Church They who can say are there any comforts like my comforts Shal there be any joys like my joyes May at present say Behold and see if there be any sorrows like my sorrows I am he who hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath Hee hath led me and brought mee into darknesse and not into light In the world tribulation is the Churches legacy and first payment In Christ peace their last portion and ful payment 2. Yet may the godly expect glorious times also many are apt to dream of such on earth but that will not be til Christs kingdom is of this world which never was yet There are two glorious times the godly may expect 1. On earth for their souls when this glorious promise is fulfilled when this Sunne of righteousnesse hath risen on them with healing in his wings This is the most glorious day to be expected on earth All Solomons glory nothing to this The approach of God in those signal manifestations of his presence to Isaael is oft called the glory of the Lord and the greatest glory of his people 2. The other is in heaven There are glorious times to bee expected indeed when the Sun shall no more give light by day nor the Moone by night but the Lord shall be thy everlasting light and thy God thy glory These are the onely glorious times the Scripture speaks of Therefore let the over-busie and earthy Disciple take off his thoughts from Kingdomes and the right-hand and left-hand in seats of glory And think againe of the old Cup and Baptisme of Christ wherin the true professour may sooner become an Anabaptist then he is aware Baptized not baptismo flaminis but sanguinis not flaminis but flammae not with the holy Ghost but with fire 3. This informes us that the foundation of all true peace and comfort is layd in Grace The Sun of righteousnesse onely riseth on them that feare his Name Grace and
