A62017	Sō ̃ma thanatou, the body of death: or, a discourse concerning the saints failings & infirmities Wherein this position, viz. that absolute freedome from sinne is not attainable in this life, is both proved and improved, in three sermons preached in St Edmunds church in the city of New-Sarum; the first upon Wednesday Novemb 24. 1658. being the weekly lecture day; the two last upon August 14, 1659. being the Lords day.

yet the innocent bloud of thy brother Abel which thou hast shed doth speak yea cry aloud for vengeance x Etsi nomo hominum te accuset quippe cùm nemo tri sceleris fit conscius tam●n est qui te accus●t apud me videlicet itse sauguis fra tris tui ●●nocenter per te s●su● Iste inquam sanguis lo quitur coram me vindictam sui à me tanquam justo judice postulavi ●isca● in Gen. 4.10 But now the bloud of Christ hath a voice too and that speakes better things than the bloud of Abel The bloud of Christ pleads for the Saints crying not for vengeance but for mercy and pardon for them y Non vindictam clamat sed veniam Pataeus ad loc Sanguis Abel vindictam loquebatur Sanguis autem Christi melius loquitur quia veniam loquitur gratiam Estius ad lo● and by this meanes they are freed from the accusation and condemnation of the Law whereunto otherwise by reason of renewed transgressions they doe every day become obnoxious And hence it is that Paul throws down the gaunt-let as it were and maketh that triumphant challenge Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect It is God that justifieth Who is he that condemneth It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the right hand of God who also maketh intercession for us Rom. 8.33 34. Lastly There is a time approaching and not far off when believers shall be freed from the very being of sin Here indeed in this life they are under a sinfull necessity and sin dwelleth in them and will dwell in them whether they will or no insomuch that the pious soul often cryes out with David Woe is me that I dwell in Mesech that I sojourn in the tents of Kedar Psal 120.5 How long shall I be pestered with this troublesome inmate And with the Apostle Oh wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death Rom. 7.24 But at death Saints shall be delivered from sin When the body of flesh dieth this body of death shall be quite destroyed Corruption shall be then totally destroyed when this mortall shall put on immortality and this corruptible shall put on incorruption z 1 Cor. 15.53 The Saints shall never after death be proud more nor grieve the Spirit of God more nor have cause any more to complain of the hardness of their hearts and the earthliness of their mindes and the vanity of their thoughts Their sins may accompany them to death but they cannot proceed one step further It is with the people of God in this life as it was with the people of Israel they were delivered from their Aegyptian Taskmasters and that was a sweet mercy to them but presently they see them at their heels and upon their backs again and this was exceeding bitter and therefore the Lord to comfort them tells them Exod. 14.13 Those Aegyptians whom ye have seen to day ye shall see them again no more for ever So that it is with the the children of God in reference to their sins they are delivered from the bondage of their sins but yet their sins may trouble them and put them into frights and raise in them many imbondageing thoughts of fear afterward but yet at death their deliverance shall be compleated and then they may stand upon the shore of the other world and see all these Aegyptians drowned in the red sea of Christs bloud and may say in the highest triumph and exultation of Spirit concerning sin and Sathan and whatsoever else hath the face or deserves to beare the name of a mysticall Aegyptian These Aegyptians which we have seen and felt so often in the dayes of our mortality we shall not feel nor so much as see them again for ever Consider what I have said and the Lord give you understanding in all things FINIS Through the Authors absence many faults have escaped the Press The smaller literall mistakes and mispointings they indulgence I hope will pardon Other more material mistakes thou art desired to correct with thy pen.
