them with an honest heart for thereby the fourth ground is distinguished from all the rest Thirdly examine whether ye hold out in time of triall or not whether you are able to approve your selves with joy as the Apostle sayes of himselfe that he did when he was in trouble on every side on the right hand and on the left in prosperity and in adversity The third ground held not out in temptation and the reason was because they had not depth of earth that is they wanted power and an inward stock of grace for that is depth of earth as a man that keeps a great house if he have not a stock able to supply him he will soone prove bankrupt and for a trades-man as yee say if he be not diligent in his trade and follow it well and make his returnes he will soon breake so also when a man wants inward power and an inward stock of graces to beare his daily expences out he will soone become bankrupt Fourthly every grace hath some property annexed to it which doth distinguish and difference it from counterfeit as in faith unfained laborious love patient hope and the like Thirdly take heed lest some lust overcome all and so lust overtop all and be predominant as the praise of men or a respect of pleasure as an Hawk you see though shee may soare and flie high yet she will have an eye to the prey below and so have hypocrites See therefore that ye serve God in singlenesse of heart and not with eye-service that you doe not harbour any lust within for that will spoile all at last as weeds in a garden if they be let alone and not plucked up will over-runne the hearbs so is it with sinne if it be suffered though it be but a little one at first yet it will like a leprosie overspread the whole man and therefore looke to that that some lust doe not overcome all in the end And so I end for this text and time FINIS Plenitudo Fontis OR Christ's Fulnesse and Man's Emptinesse A Sermon Preached by IOHN PRESTON c. 1 Cor. 4. 7. What hast thou that thou hast not received if thou hast received it why dost thou boast as though thou hadst not received it LONDON Printed for Iohn Stafford and are to be sold in Blacke Horse Alley 1644. ❧ To the Anti-Arminian OR To every good Christian Reader Good Reader PLiny the great Naturalist taxeth some of the Greeke and Latin Writers in his time of folly at the least for sending abroad their empty and worthlesse Pamphlets with an over-praise in the Title promising much at the first sight but utterly deceiving the Reader in his further search But he that shal with judgment reade this Sermon will finde somewhat more then a naked title to commend it Sometimes the work-man graceth the worke Sometimes the Worke the Worke-man but behold in this Treatise they kisse each other and are joyned together as a white Rose a red Rose in one sweete Posie But that both have beene abused in the first Impression hereof it appeareth as clearely by the Manuscript as the splendant Sun within Earths spangled Canopy for a● those Passages which will make the Arminians to stumble and without doubt to fall in some measure are by the Imprimatur-ist deleted as if Arminianisme were Englands true Doctrine But now for thy comfort Dear Christian thou hast the Author's Sermon as it was preached before King Iames without the least diminution And I sent it out with that prayer or benediction that Iacob sent with his sonnes into Aegypt God Almighty give thee mercy in the sight of the man In the sight of the great man that thou maist make him humble Of the poore man that thou maist make him content Of the stubborne man that thou maist hammer and supple him Of the penitent man that thou maist bind up his wounds sores Of every ma● that thou maist touch his conscience and wound his soule Amen Thine in the Lord Iesus P. B. Christ's Fulnesse and Man's Emptinesse c. JOHN 1. 16. Of his Fullnesse we have all received Grace for Grace SAint Augustine in his booke De Civitate Dei seemes to stand amazed at the Majesty which appeares in this first of Iohn above all other passages of Holy writ And Calvine saith he doth in this Chap De●onare ab alto giving it the chiefest instance wherein a divine stupendious authority appeares beyond all the writing of men Innins saith that he was never strucken with an apprehension of the Diety till he read this first Chapter affirming it to be the first and chiefest cause of his conversion from Atheisme to a sincere imbracing of Christianity you may see it in his life written by himselfe And in all this Chapter I finde not a richer and fuller sentence then this which describes to us the fullnesse of Christ. The parts of it are three First here is a Fulnesse attributed to Christ. Secondly this is not a respective but a diffusive Fulnesse that is Fulnesse not shut up in its owne Bankes but running over for our benefit and use Of his Fulnesse we have all received that is all that ever had any Grace took it from this heap drew it from this fountaine Thirdly these receits are amplified by the variety of them Grace for Grace That is Christ hath given to us for all the Graces which he received of his father for us Graces answerable as the Seal is said to give to the Waxe print for print Character for Character or as a father is said to give to the sonne lymbe for lymbe member for member though not of the same bignesse and measure In the same sence Christ is said to give to us Grace for Grace So that now you see here a full shop many Buyers or Receivers chose of wares or rather to use the Scriptures similitude A full Table many Guests Variety of dishes Of his fulnesse we have all received Grace for Grace We begin with the first This Fulnesse is attributed to Christ in 4. respects 1. In regard of his person So hee was full 1. with an increate Fulnesse for as the glory of God filled the Temple that Moses could not enter in so the humanity of Christ which answered to that type was filled not only with the effects of the Diety as then but with the Diety it selfe which is therefore said to dwell in him corporally or essentially 2. Hee was moreover filled with a Created Fulnesse and so hee was said to be full of all divine good things which Iohn reduces to two heads Grace and Truth Truth which comprehendeth all the vertues of understanding And Grace which comprizeth all beautiesand perfections of the will Secondly this Fulnesse is attributed to Christ in regard of his offices 1. as a Prophet He was full of all the Treasures of wisedom and knowledge So that all the Light which the World ever had came from him as
