A89274	Mercies for man. Prepared in, and by Christ, even for such as neither know them, nor him. Discovered, that they might know, and enjoy them. Or a discourse of the interest there is for all men in, and by Christ in the end, and usefulmesse of the beleevers peculiar priviledges and service. In which is also some information about that service to which the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, instructeth, and obligeth the beleever for the good of them all, according to capacity, and opportunity given him. Likewise some directions for, and concerning Christian magistrates. In the opening some instructions arising from the Apostles exhortation to Timothy, 1 Tim. 2.1, 2. Delivered in November 1653. at the Munday meetings at Black-Friers: and because what then was spoken, met with some publick opposition, this is now published for further satisfaction.

To remember the law of Moses his servant so we are further counselled as in the prophesie Hab. 2. 2 4. That we may be strengthened to run with patience the race set before us to read the vision where it 's now more plainly written looking unto Jesus c. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest ye be wearied and faint in your mindes ye have not yet resisted unto blood striving against sin Heb. 12. 1 4. Be but patient a while the coming of the Lord draws nigh then you shall not need to run back to Moses nor to be under a Law so suitable to servitude bondage and misery But the Law shall go forth out of Sion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem to judge the Nations for he shall judge among many people and rebuke strong Nations afar off and they shall beat their Swords into Plow-shares and their Spears into Pruning-hookes and the Nations shall learn war no more then shall the Earth be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea Isa 2. 1 4. Mic. 4. 1 4. Isa 11. Then for all your shame you shall have double glory in your own land you shall rejoyce in your portion c. Isa 61. We may not further enlarge to this onely this word Notwithstanding the day of the Lord draws nigh and there is such full demonstration of it in the Gospel and of the blessed hope then that were it minded were enough to stablish the hearts of believers in their patient waiting for the coming of the Lord even as the husbandman waiteth hath long patience for the precious fruit of the earth yet still we finde it needful and now as much as ever to press the Apostles exhortation 2 Thess 2. 1 2. The Apostle having instructed them chap. 1 6 7 c. That it is a righteous thing with God to recompence tribulation to them that trouble you and to you that are troubled rest with us not without us or before us those of us or of our body that survive must not prevent them of us that sleep nor shall any one prevent another 1 Thess 4. 14 16 c. But they shall come together to the installing and sitting down in that rest which yet remaineth for all the people of God Heb. 4. 9. though the high-spirited Corinthians would have been fancying and concluding a raigning as as Kings without the Apostles and the residue of their brethren but the Apostle saith He was sure if the time were come that any of them should raign as Saints then they also should raign with them But when will this righteousness of God come forth in recompencing tribulation to them that trouble us and to all that are and have been troubled for him rest together it follows When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence● of the Lord and from the glory of his power when he shall come to be glorified in his Saints c. till then they shall none of them in these bodies sit down nor shall their Righteousness shine forth till he that shall come do come nor indeed will there be any long setling of the Kingdom or Glory upon any sort of men which may be a comfort to you nothing but overturn overturn overturn till he whose right it is do come and God will give it him Ezek. 21. 26 27. nor till then is it your time as Saints to wish for or execute vengeance on them that as such and for his names sake do trouble you Rejoyce not now when thy enemy falleth neither let thine heart be glad when he stumbleth lest the Lord see it and it displease him c. Prov. 24. 17 18. but take the counsel following in the 19 20 and 21. verses compared with Rom. 12. 18 19 20 21. and chap. 13. 1 c. The Apostle I say having thus instructed them in the first chapter makes use of these two things there discoursed of namely The glorious appearing or coming of our Lord and Our being gathered together unto him as the ground of his Argument or as motives for the pressing such an exhorcation by way of usefulness Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto him that ye be not soon shaken in minde or be troubled neither by spirit pretence of revelation nor by word or letter as from the Apostles by any doctrine though pretended to be drawn from their writings as there will be enough in these latter dayes pretending to be seers of the visions of the times that will pervert things hard to be understood to make them speak out their apprehensions the Vision of all as plainly declared being to them and so rendered by them to others as a sealed Book But we are to know That the Apostles have not intended in any of their writings telling us that the day is nigh and the like to signifie any such thing to us as that the day of the Lord is otherwise at hand then according to the instructions in the first chapter That day of rendering vegeance on them that trouble us and rest to the troubled is not so at hand as to be made in this day as some said of the Resurrection or to come unto any before the Lord be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels and we be all gathered together unto him which two things to be accomplished together the Apostle sets before us here by way of Argument or Motive for the pressing his exhortation signifying to us that there is so much sweetness and consolation to us in them there being such glory and excellency in the things themselves the glorious appearance of the Lord in that personal body glorified in our nature in which he suffered for us and hath through sufferings obtained eternal Redemption the faith of which though yet we see him not with bodily eyes nor do enjoy such personal fellowship with him leads even now to rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of glory what will it be then to enjoy his personal presence and immediate fellowship with him and the Father and the holy Spirit and so with him in his glory not in his weakness or abasement as sometimes some did but in that glory which he now actually possesseth in our nature in his own personal body for us even in the glory of his Father and with his holy Angels and we by that appearance to be changed even in our vile bodies into the likeness of his glorious body and so made capable of such sight of him as he is and fellowship with him and to be all gathered together not onely Moses and Elias but all that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him surely we

in and according to godliness and honesty And there after some several significations of quietnesse and peaceablenesse briefly hinted p. 88 Its especially applied in such a sense as opposed to war strife or contention p. 90 And so the beleever in and according to godlinesse and honesty is to lead his life quitly and peaceably 1 With reference to those in authority over him p. 91 2 Towards all men p. 95 3 Especially one with another p. 98 2 How the Beleevers leading a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honesty tends so much to the good of all men That shewed in two things 1 It tends much to the beleevers own advantage profit and furniture for the good of others p. 102 2 It tends to the adorning the Name and Doctrine of God our Saviour amongst and before them And that shewed in divers particulars p. 104 2 That therefore God likes it wel in and requires it of those whom he sets in place of Authority that they should all of them have a special eye at this That his people that worship him and would live quietly in the Land may lead a quiet and peaceable life under their protection and government p. 110 c. 3. What those things are in generall that will tend to this and which are therefore required of Governours that Beleevers may lead such a life 1 They are to afford them liberty and protection in such liberty for quiet and peaceable worshipping of God and endeavouring the good of others as the grace of God by Christ their Great Law-giver instructeth them p. 113 And by way of removing some scruple in this 't is shewed That they are to let the Tares and Wheat grow together till the end of the world and so to afford that liberty and protection in that liberty to all that pretend to desire to seek and worship God in Christ according to his Word or Scriptures if under such pretence they do not grosly blaspheme or cast off the outward acknowledgement of that name or do that which directly tends to the injury or damage of others in name estate or life or move sedition and so they shal afford such liberty and protection to all that are quiet in the Land p. 115 2 They are to give unto them those things that are just and equal by an equal distribution of Justice and thorowly executing judgement between a man and his neighbour p. 121 3 They are to seek peace and pursue it among those under their Government and with other Nations As much as is possible live peaceably with all men p. 122 Some scruples against this raised from some mis-apprehensions of Prophecies answered in which is shewed That in the Wars and Commotions of the latter days towards and yet before the end Saints as Saints and for their Kingdome are not to be actors in them but after that consideration only spectators of them though after other considerations as Members of the Nation where they live they may in some cases act with the rest that they are part of the sorrows evils or judgements of the latter dayes and that though God occasionally brings forth much good by them to the restraint and hinderance of bodily Persecution yet they are accompanied with more abounding of Spiritual iniquity And that though these Judgements and Battels be of the Lords permission and gracious ordering and such as in which he begins to stain the pride of the glory of such as have lifted up the Horn against him yet the instruments for the stirring up the Nations to them are unclean spirits p. 124 c. And that those Prophesies of the totall destruction of all enemies and bringing down their power and giving the Kingdomes under the whole Heavens to the Saints is not to bee accomplished till the Resurrection of the just and so not till the Lord himself come and bring all that sleep in Jesus with him and then it shall be accomplished together by a wonderfull and more immediate putting forth of the Arm of the Lord yea all his Saints from first to last shall then have that honour with him and no other p. 128. Some use of these considerations p. 132 4 What that is that will especially furnish Governours to the doing those things required of them and so is especially to be desired for them And that is showed to be wisdome in the knowledge of Christ and the glory of God as appearing in the face of him as to us declared in the Gospel p. 138 The Reader is desired to correct these faults escaped in the Printing as follow PAge 5. line 25. adde of p. 6. l 7. r. have p. 10. l. 11. r father p. 18. l. 22. blot out may p. 20. l. 38. r. provision p. 28. l. 10 r. them p. 31. l. 32. r. the view p. 37. l. 5. r. yea p. 43. l. 18. r according p. 50. l. 32. r. that it is p. 51. l. 9. r. come p. 56. l. 39. r. hating p. 57. l. 18. r distraction p. 58. l. 11. r. raising l. 27. r. enjoyed p. 59. l. 1. blot out the first in p. 61. l. 20. r. his l. 30. adde of p. 62. l. 33. blot out to p. 63. l. 4. r. given r. become l. 15. r. while l. 33. r.

All mens Interest by Christ in the end and usefulnesse of Beleevers peculiar privileges and service Shewed in the opening some Instructions arising from 1 Tim. 2. 1 2. I exhort therefore that first of all Supplications Prayers Intercessions and giving of Thanks be made for all men for Kings and for all that are in Authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honesty THe Apostle Paul having committed the faithfull Word of the glorious Gospel of Christ that great Commandement Even the word which was preached from the beginning but now more fully come forth and declared 1 Tim. 6. 14. with 1 Joh. 1. 1 2. and 2. 7 8. which was more immediately revealed to him and committed to his trust for more peculiar service therein from the Lord Jesus as 1 Tim. 1. 1. 11. with Gal. 1. 11 12. and Eph. 3. 1 9. He having committed this Word or Commandement unto Timothy and with it this charge To hold it fast and keep it by the Holy Ghost which was given unto him 2 Tim. 1. 14 15. Faithfully to preach it in season out of season to doe the work of an Evangelist
