deliuered foin the power of darknesse where the word signifieth by fine force to deliuer or plucke away Euen as Dauid pulled the Lambe out of the Beares mouth so hath Christ by his Almighty power reskued vs out of the mouth of the Roaring Lyon So also hée hath destroyed the deuill Heb. 2.14 not by abolishing his substance but by weakening his power as the word there importeth Christ then payeth his Bloud as a price to his Father and so forcibly deliuereth vs from the deuill Who hath the power of death as the Hang-man hath the power of the Gallowes not absolute but by commission from God for the tormenting of the wicked This Redemption wée speake of is so the worke of God that wée exclude all creatures from any power or possibility of redéeming vs. Psal 49.7 And wée acknowledge it to bée the worke of the whole Trinity deliuering vs in the person of the Sonne who redéemeth vs by his Merite and by his Efficacy by his Merite deseruing Redemption for vs by his Efficacy effectually applying it vnto vs by his Spirit through Faith Vse First héere wée may sée the wonderfull misery in the which wée are all till wée haue our part in the Eternall Redemption purchased for vs by Iesus Christ For first we are vnder the power of sinne and the tiranny of the deuill very Bond-slaues more miserable then euer were the poore Iraelites in Egypt or now are the poore Christians vnder the Turke for the bondage of these is onely bodily ours more bodily and spirituall also our bodies and very Spirits being subiect to obey his filthy will in all things Ephe. 2.2 Secondly we are all our life time in feare of death euen as is the case of one condemned to the Gallowes hee alwaies trembles and quakes at the approach and remembrance of the houre of his execution So wee if God make vs sensible of our estate in regard of sinne are alwaies haunted with the terrours of an euill conscience as with Furies and Fiends of hel as Caine Saul Iudas Thurdly wee are fire-brands of hell subiect to eternall condemnation for our sinnes c. This is our misery which who so vnderstandeth not nor considereth he neuer esteemeth this wonderfull mercy of God in redeeming of vs as he ought For as hee that supposeth himselfe to bee mortally sicke highly reckoneth of the Phisition which cureth him and he which is troubled but with some light infirmity not so Euen so to him to him onely is the tydings of the Gospell welcome the Promise sweete the Bloud of Christ vnualuable the Loue of God vnspeakeable yea without measure and passing all knowledge which seeth his misery and seeleth his heart wrung with the fetters and bolts of sinne and which considereth of those eternall torments due to the same Vse 2. Here we ought also to consider of the Price whereby wee are ransomed and of the exceeding Loue of God For the Price it was neither gold nor siluer nor any corruptible thing but the pretious Bloud of the Lambe vnspotted Iesus Christ Marke thou which readest 1. Pet. 1.18 19. It cost the very Heart Bloud of Iesus the Sonne of God who was without sinne to saue thee a vile wretch from eternall damnation which thou deseruest by thy sinnes The Loue of God herein appeared to be most wonderfull in that he spared not his owne Sonne but gaue him to death euen for vs and in our stead who were not his friends but his very enemies See what loue the Father hath shewed Rom. 6.7.8 that thou an Imp of the deuill by sinne shouldst haue the Bloud of Gods owne Sonne shed to make thee his son or daughter Let me speake vnto thee in the words of Ezra Ez. 9.13.14 which words he spake from the occasion of a meaner deliuerance Seeing God hath kept thee from being beneath for thine iniquities and hath granted thee such deliuerance shouldst thou continue in sinne shouldst thou rebell and returne to breake the Commandement of such so mercifull a God by drunkennesse blasphemy lying pride whoredome or any profanenesse Shouldest thou despise the Saboaths Word Sacraments Bloud of such a Sauiour Shouldest thou refuse to sacrifice thy Body and Soule to his glory that refused not to sacrifice his precious life for thy Saluation Shouldest thou be a Niggard of thy duty to him yea of thy best bloud who was prodigall to expend and shed his Bloud to redeeme thee Now God forbid Luk. 1.74.75 Tit. 2.14.15 c. Nay this inexcusably bindeth vs all to all thankefulnesse and true obedience Quest But you said that Man was created according to the Image of God in a most holy and happy estate how then comes bee to stand in need of a Redeemer Ans I beleeue that Adam and Eue being created by God according to his Image in singular happinesse and placed in Paradise did notwithstanding willingly and by the enticement of the diuell fall away transgressing Gods commandement giuen vnto them and so made themselues and their posteritie Gen. chap. 2. and 3. subiect both to sinne and death the wages of the same Expli Though it be farre better to indeuoure to come out of the misery we are in then curiously to inquire how wée came into the same yet because many necessary points depend on this and wee neuer séeke the heauenly Physition till we vnderstand and féele our disease and the danger Therefore it is necessary that wee should haue some good measure of knowledge hereof Which we shall attaine if we consider these two things First what Adams state was in his Innocency and vpon what conditions it did stand Secondly the manner of his fall We will héere intreate of his happinesse Genes 3. and the conditions thereof The happines of our first parents may bee referred to these heads First that they were created in the Image of God together with the manner of their creation but of this before Secondly that they were placed in the Garden of Eden translated by the Septuagint Paradise and commonly so called because it was a place of singular delight and pleasure Gene. 2.9 to 15. a most pleasant place in regarde both of the variety of all pleasant fruits the Trées also of knowledge and life in the middest thereof and also in regard of the pretious riuers watering the same Vnto this our Sauiour alludeth when he saith to the Thiefe This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise not that Paradise wherein Adam was put which was defaced in the flood but Heauen so called for the happinesse ioy and riuers of pleasure which are there for euermore Thirdly the happines of our first parents is set downe from their fréedome from all things which might hurt their bodies or disturbe their mindes They were both naked and were not ashamed Gen. 2.25 They were naked Hereby is signified that their bodies had a kinde of Impassibilitie so that though they were neither hairy nor woolly
