shalt thou remaine for euer If thou fall in the warme South euen in the armes of IESVS CHRIST reconciled to God by him in that happie estate shalt thou remaine for euer and euer You read of that cursed figtree in the 21 Chapter of Mathew which hauing a shew of leaues yet Christ in his hunger could not finde one fig vpon it There is nothing more grievous and offensiue to God then the faire leaues of a profession wanting all true fruit of godlines and a curse more grievous is vpon them who haue great show with no substance then they who openly make knowne what they are Let vs labour to bee that in deed which we are by profession that being trees in the garden of God we may be fruitfull A good fig to a hungry man is better then ten thousand leaues So is a good fruite of our profession better and more acceptable to God then great ostentation multitude of words men hauing the shew of godlines but denying the power of the same The last point is there is here also shadowed and resembled vnto vs the pleasant communion and fellowship that the members of Christ haue amongst themselues that as in the peaceable estate of a worldly kingdome neighbour doth call and invite neighbour vnder the Vine vnder the Figtree So in the kingdome of Christ there is harmony there is agreement among the members and there is sweet and heauenly communion Communion of the Saints is an article of the Creed and I referre it to that place There is two parts of this Communion Communion with the head and communion among themselues These words of the text are of the last Again of this cōmunion among the Saints there is also two parts The one is of the liuing with the liuing and the other is of the liuing with the dead It is of the first of these two that mention is made here This communion of the liuing with the liuing standeth in communion of affections communion of spirituall gifts and in some cases communion of temporall gifts As for cōmunion of affection they are all of one heart to God to Christ and among themselues Thus is it said in the fourth Chapter of the Acts That the multitude of beleeuers were all of one heart And of this it commeth to passe that they continually beare the burden one of another they mourne with them that are grieued and reioyce with them that reioyce 2. When each man communicateth the grace that he hath gotten to the well and profite of his neighbour And this is done when one edifieth another by example that they may say I will doe as yonder man doth by admonition each one admonishing another by exhortation each one provoking and stirring vp one another vnto good by consolation A word in season to a man in distresse is like apples of gold and pictures of siluer By prayer when we pray one for another And this communion is well resembled in this speech when neighbour calleth neighbour vnder the Vine and vnder the Fig-tree that is each member is a stirrer vp of another to come to Christ and taste of his sweetnes I reioyced saith Dauid when I heard neighbor cal neighbor each one saying to another Let vs go vp to the house of God And you haue this same man this way communicating his grace in the 34 Psalme Come hither I shall tell you what God hath done for my poore soule that is I shall communicat my experience with you that ye may taste of the like There is againe communion of temporall gifts when according to thy power thou helpest the necessity of thy poore brethren All this proceedeth from cōmunion with God he that saith he hath communion with God with Christ hath not this cōmunion with his members he is a lyar To testifie therefore thy cōmuniō with him keep this cōmunion with the Saints loue all them that loue the Lord Iesus be carefull not to giue offence to any of these little ones that appertain to him Let the word of exhortation to thy brother be in thy mouth seasoned so that he may see thou louest him Let the word of comfort be in thy mouth to a wearied body That is a singular comfort that a man hath who is of this communion when he is so heavy and sick that he can scarce pray himself yet he may say I haue the prayers of all the members of this body and the prayer of Iesus Christ is effectuall for vs all Let vs walk in this communion of Saints that may testifie vntovs that we haue such communion with CHRIST our Head in this life As when this life is ended we shal be brought to reigne in glory with him To whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit be all honour praise and glory for euer and euer AMEN FINIS 1 Tim. 3. 16 Rom. 1. 4 Iohn 5. 29 Gen. 3. 15 Gen. 9. 27 Iohn 8. 56 Gen. 22. 6 Iohn 19. 17 Gen. 49 Exod. 4. 13 Apoc. 12. 9 Ruth 4. 18 1 Sam. 16. 13 Psa. 110. 1 2 Sam 23 1 Math. 12. 4●… Dan. 9. 25 Esther 7 Luc. 1. 74.
