their visitation and be turned unto God and every one that so beleeveth the testimony of God concerning Christ in his heart that he therein receiveth Christ for his wisdom righteousnesse holinesse and redemption and is brought to rely upon him and God in him for pardon peace life spirit and whatsoever may concern his happinesse and therewithall is framed to the minde of Christ to live to him and to God in him as hath been shewn he is the truly righteous man here to be understood in the text one whom God approves and holds for righteous Every through cordiall and sincere beleever he is the righteous man here spoken of and that is the first thing propounded for explication who is this righteous man in opening which I have been the larger because that 's of most weight and men are aptest therein to be deceived resting either in morall or Pharisaicall conceited righteousness in stead of the true righteousnesse which is according to God or else to rest in a form and carcasle of faith that receives nothing but propositions of truth into the head but receiveth not Christ into the heart to be it's righteousness from all which the righteousnesse of God doth greatly differ beyond all which kinde of righteous men the man that 's truly righteous doth very much go as is declared having cleared that let us now come to the second thing propounded to be explained and opened Quest 2. viz. What the hope is that such a righteous man hath in his death In opening that I shall consider this his hope both in it's object and ground This hope may be considered according to it's object and that first Objectum in quo The object unto which the heart is led and carried and in which it hath it's expectation and that is not any vain empty creature either it self or any other thing in the whole world for the righteous man is crucified to them with Christ and knows there is nothing to be met with from them that can help or satisfie and that God hath pronounced a curse upon him that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm Jer. 17.5 His hope therefore is set upon God in Christ from him is all his expectation according to that of David Psa 62.1 2. Truly my soul waiteth upon God from him cometh my salvation and that in Lam. 3.24 The Lord is my portion saith my soul therefore in him will I hope God as he hath discovered himself to the soul in Christ so he himself is the object in which it hopeth and from whom it expecteth what it hopeth for 2. The Objectum propter quod the object for which it hopeth it hopes for something as well as in something as to instance he hopes for support and preservation through death Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death yet will I fear none ill for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff doth comfort me or support me Psa 23.4 Psa 37.25 2. The enjoyment of Christ and God in Christ more fully in his Spirit after the dissolution of the body thence Paul Phil. 1. I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ 2 Cor. 5.6 8. knowing that when we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord walking by faith and not by fight we desire to be rather absent from the body and to be present with the Lord the righteous man hopes for a more full enjoyment of Christ then here he was capable of 3. He hopes that God will yet take care of his people and preserve his Church and carry on his work in the world for the glory of his name and will not be wanting to his posterity if he leave any behinde him Deut. 33.26 29. 4. His resurrection out of death and the full possession of eternall glory which Jesus Christ in the re-union of the soul and body as is at large declared in 1 Cor. 15. and in 1 Thes 4.16 17. c. He that raised up the body of the Lord Jesus Christ shall also raise up the beleever and give him acrown of life and glory that shall never fade where there shall be no mixture of grief or misery with his joy or happinesse but he shall be fully and for ever satisfied with the glorious enjoyment of God in Christ Jesus This is the hope that a righteous man hath in his death the object hoped for 2. This hope may be considered too in the ground or motive of it whence it springeth or what that is that gives a man encouragement and boldnesse to hope in God and Christ for such happinesse yea even in death when God seems to be about co cut him off for ever and that is properly the Lord Jesus Christ as he is the gift of God the manifestation of the Fathers love and grace the Mediatour and Saviour of the soul declared to the soul in the Gospel and received by faith whence the Apostle stiles him our hope Paul an Apostle by the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope 1 Tim. 1.1 and again Christ in you the hope of glory Col. 1.28 for it 's in the gift of him for and to the soul that it apprehends the love of God to be such towards it as that it hath good cause for ever to hope in him and thus to reason concerning him If when we were enemies we were reconciled unto God by the death of his Son how much more being reconciled shall we be saved by his life Rom. 5.10 Now because it is this love of God shed abroad into the heart by the holy Ghost that springs up this hope in God as Rom. 5.5 6. therefore the Apostle cals it good hope through grace that is sprung up through the apprehension and appearance of the grace or favour of God towards us as in another respect viz. because this grace is declared in the Gospel and therethrough discerned by us it 's called also the hope of the Gospel Col. 1.23 2 Thes 2.16 a lively hope that puts lively chearfull thoughts into the soul and makes it live in the midst of death in expectation of a crown and inheritance incorruptible and immortall c 1 Pet. 2.3 and that grounded upon the resurrection of Christ from the dead thence it 's also a good hope not only because it doth good to the soul in saving preserving and supporting it in trials and afflictions so as that it saints not nor turns away from God 1 Joh. 3.3 but is kept in dependance on him or in that it also purifies the soul or leads the man to purge himself through the grace of God beleeved that he may be meet for such a hope or glory hoped for in the view of which it also gives the soul strong consolation making it in death to trample upon death and rejoice over death because of the glory to be revealed and enjoyed after it but also it 's good because of the foundation whence it
