A81056	Samson a type of Christ in a sermon preached at Mr. Pomfret's meeting-house in Gravel-lane near Hounds-ditch, London: at the morning-lecture, on July 22. 1691. from Judg. xiv.5. Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Tunnath; and came to the vineyards of Timnath; and behold, a young lion roared against him. Wherein is shewed, I. In six particulars, how clearly Samson doth type forth Jesus Christ, ... II. With respect unto Samsons marriage, ... III. As Samson loved and married an uncircumcised woman, ... IV. As Samson did overcome the young lion which opposed him: so Jesus Christ doth overcome and destroy that roaring lion, the Devil, that opposeth him. Published at the request of the Congregation, for Publick Good. By D.C. an unworthy servant of Christ.	Crosley, David, 1670-1744.	1691 (1691)	Wing C7247A; ESTC R232725	34,097	40

from_o god_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o he_o will_v gather_v and_o call_v they_o all_o home_n to_o himself_o there_o be_v a_o time_n in_o which_o samson_n go_v down_o to_o timnath_n to_o take_v this_o daughter_n of_o the_o philistine_n to_o wife_n and_o according_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o god_n will_v gather_v his_o elect_n from_o the_o four_o wind_n of_o the_o heaven_n there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o every_o one_o of_o god_n jewel_n to_o be_v gather_v into_o his_o treasure_n and_o for_o every_o one_o of_o his_o sheep_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o his_o fold_n though_o god_n people_n be_v bear_v in_o sin_n he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o die_v so_o for_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n will_v call_v she_o belove_v that_o be_v not_o

stir_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o look_v for_o it_o for_o except_o we_o be_v convert_v and_o bear_v again_o we_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n a_o uncalled_a state_n be_v therefore_o a_o dreadful_a state_n for_o while_o a_o man_n be_v so_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o belong_v to_o god_n or_o no_o but_o certain_o such_o a_o one_o may_v conclude_v that_o for_o the_o present_a he_o belong_v unto_o the_o devil_n the_o lord_n awaken_v all_o such_o three_o from_o hence_o i_o will_v infer_v that_o god_n must_v condescend_v and_o come_v down_o to_o we_o which_o indeed_o he_o have_v do_v both_o in_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n before_o we_o can_v ascend_v to_o he_o so_o samson_n go_v down_o to_o timnath_n a_o man_n whilst_o in_o nature_n and_o so_o consequent_o

have_v not_o receive_v and_o with_o isaiah_n chapter_n 26._o 12._o thou_o o_o lord_n have_v wrought_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o but_o many_o professor_n at_o this_o day_n suppose_v a_o possibility_n of_o set_v up_o christ_n too_o high_a and_o of_o lay_v man_n down_o too_o low_a in_o himself_o but_o how_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v i_o can_v never_o yet_o understand_v sure_o i_o be_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o both_o possibility_n and_o danger_n of_o set_v up_o man_n and_o his_o righteousness_n too_o high_a and_o thereby_o disesteem_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o precious_a

in_o which_o they_o be_v i_o may_v speak_v it_o with_o sorrow_n so_o little_o practise_v but_o be_v but_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o due_o exalt_v and_o free_o preach_v in_o life_n and_o power_n it_o will_v i_o think_v be_v the_o only_a way_n true_o and_o without_o hypocrisy_n to_o reform_v man_n life_n and_o to_o work_v their_o heart_n into_o a_o godly_a sorrow_n which_o will_v issue_v in_o it_o true_a and_o evangelical_a repentance_n never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o but_o there_o be_v so_o much_o legality_n among_o professer_n at_o this_o day_n have_v undoubted_o be_v a_o great_a occasion_n of_o so_o much_o lukewarmness_n in_o the_o world_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o particular_a viz._n to_o mention_v some_o of_o the_o great_a let_n hindrance_n and_o impediment_n which_o do_v most_o interrupt_v this_o bless_a union_n and_o agreement_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n which_o indeed_o be_v many_o but_o time_n will_v but_o permit_v i_o to_o mention_v some_o few_o and_o the_o first_o main_n let_v or_o hindrance_n be_v the_o want_n of_o a_o thorough_a sight_n and_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o miserableness_n of_o the_o condition_n in_o which_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o according_o a_o enjoyment_n of_o rest_n and_o satisfaction_n though_o both_o false_a and_o soul-destructive_a in_o that_o condition_n and_o thus_o much_o even_a nature_n itself_o teach_v that_o no_o man_n will_v seek_v unto_o a_o physician_n for_o a_o cure_n unless_o he_o be_v first_o sensible_a that_o he_o be_v trouble_v with_o such_o a_o distemper_n as_o do_v necessary_o call_v for_o and_o require_v such_o a_o cure_n and_o who_o know_v not_o that_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o ready_a and_o forward_o to_o incline_v to_o and_o seek_v after_o the_o benefit_n and_o cure_n of_o the_o body_n than_o the_o benefit_n and_o cure_n of_o the_o soul_n insomuch_o that_o a_o man_n of_o who_o i_o have_v hear_v who_o desert_v and_o forsake_v the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n in_o which_o he_o have_v spend_v much_o labour_n and_o travel_n to_o take_v up_o the_o practice_n of_o physic_n and_o be_v ask_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o return_v this_o answer_n because_o say_v he_o i_o see_v people_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o careful_a of_o their_o body_n than_o of_o their_o soul_n and_o much_o more_o free_a to_o lay_v out_o their_o money_n and_o pain_n for_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o and_o christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o whole_a need_v not_o a_o physician_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a the_o reason_n therefore_o why_o christ_n our_o great_a physician_n of_o soul_n be_v so_o much_o slight_v be_v because_o so_o few_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o soul_n malady_n and_o distemper_n and_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n for_o the_o main_a reason_n why_o poor_a sinner_n be_v no_o more_o free_a to_o change_v their_o estate_n to_o forsake_v their_o first_o husband_n viz._n the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v join_v and_o marry_v to_o jesus_n christ_n be_v because_o they_o see_v not_o the_o danger_n and_o misery_n which_o they_o lie_v in_o and_o under_o in_o the_o condition_n in_o which_o they_o be_v a_o second_o let_v or_o hindrance_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v person_n be_v so_o much_o in_o love_n with_o their_o present_a state_n and_o the_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n which_o as_o they_o suppose_v they_o enjoy_v therein_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o see_v that_o place_n in_o matth._n 22._o at_o the_o beginning_n where_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o great_a king_n i._n e._n god_n make_v a_o marriage_n for_o his_o son_n i.e._n christ_n and_o send_v forth_o his_o servant_n to_o call_v they_o that_o be_v bid_v to_o the_o wedding_n but_o what_o say_v the_o text_n well_o they_o will_v not_o come_v again_o he_o send_v forth_o other_o servant_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v ready_a this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o invite_v but_o also_o to_o persuade_v but_o what_o say_v the_o text_n ver._n 5._o well_o they_o do_v not_o only_o refuse_v to_o come_v but_o they_o also_o make_v light_n of_o it_o and_o go_v their_o way_n one_o to_o his_o farm_n and_o another_o to_o his_o merchandise_n alas_o their_o purse_n be_v full_a they_o have_v riches_n enough_o at_o home_n they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o be_v wretched_a poor_a blind_a miserable_a and_o naked_a rev._n 3.17_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o bare_a have_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n thereof_o that_o hinder_v but_o it_o be_v the_o inordinate_a love_v thereof_o this_o be_v that_o which_o spoil_v all_o in_o 1_o tim._n 6.10_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o love_n of_o money_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil._n mark_v it_o it_o be_v not_o the_o money_n itself_o for_o the_o creature_n be_v good_a but_o the_o inordinate_a love_n of_o it_o this_o

and_o a_o poor_a soul_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o sin_n but_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n that_o separate_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n see_v rev._n 22.15_o whosoever_o love_v and_o

be_v the_o main_n let_v in_o our_o way_n of_o union_n with_o christ_n because_o we_o love_v sin_n and_o love_v the_o world_n together_o with_o the_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n thereof_o we_o love_v the_o flesh_n and_o we_o love_v our_o lust_n ourselves_o our_o work_n and_o our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v love_v christ_n and_o further_o provide_v that_o we_o shall_v

let_v in_o our_o way_n of_o union_n with_o christ_n which_o i_o shall_v now_o mention_v be_v want_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o true_o beloved_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mountain_n in_o our_o

that_o believe_v not_o for_o as_o faith_n have_v the_o pre-eminence_n above_o all_o other_o grace_n so_o unbelief_n have_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o all_o other_o vice_n and_o how_o many_o a_o poor_a
