THE GOOD SAMARITANE LUK. 10. VERS 30-38 And Jesus answering said a certaine man went downe from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell amongst theeves c. A Picture drawne to the life is highly praised but when we see one made by the hand of a cunning workeman to nod with the head moove the lips roll the eyes c. we so much the more extoll it All the Parables in Scripture are set forth to the life as it were but this with some others in such a manner Lyra in leo as that it seemeth and so is held by some to be rather a History then a Parable though generally held to bee a Reall Parable Our Saviours Scope in propounding of it was First to shew unto the boasting Lawyer who was his Neighbour Harm Evang. For however our Saviour saith Calvin could have simply answered to the latter question made Who is my Neighbour verse 29 yet he chuseth rather by this Parable to draw an answer from the Lawyers owne mouth the more sweetly to induce him and others to acknowledge all man-kind to be so linked together by one common Nature that every man in necessity is to be counted for a Neighbour and the hand of reliefe to be reached out unto him Secondly to instruct the Church concerning that Righteousnesse which must save u● and that by by the works of the Law no man living shall be justifi d.

And Jesus answering said Where you have first the Author Iesus 2 The manner of delivering it which was first by word of mouth He said 2. By way of answer Answering he said In the Narration two things 1. The Subj●ct or Person spoken of A certaine man 2. The Predicate or what is spoken of him He went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho and fell amongst theeves And here we have more specially considerable 1. His Misery 2. His Recovery His Misery ver 30. and in it First the meanes whereby he came so miserable Secondly Particulars wherein that his misery stood The Meanes were either more Remote or more Proximary and neare The Remote was his travelling from Hierusalem to Iericho where you have the termes from whence and whether The more neare was his falling into the company of theeves c. The Particulars of this his misery stood in the evill both of Losse and Sense 1. The evill of losse He was stripped of his rayment 2. The evill of sense he was wounded so as that he was left halfe dead His Remedie or Recovery ver 31 This is laid downe 1. Negatively 2. Affirmatively Negatively how or by whom it was not verse 31 32. There first the Persons noted first by Profession 2. By Disposition By Profession the one a Priest the other a Levit. Their Disposition is first generally notified They passed by 2. Particularly exemplified from the manner of it which was very unhumane They saw him in the way yet passed by on the other side Affirmatively where 1. The Person succoring a Samaritane 2. His mercifull Disposition and that is enlarged first from the Cause Secondly Effects The Cause was either more remote viz. his travelling that way and comming where he was or more neare he saw him and had compassion on him The Effect or Fruit. ver 34.35 There see what he did 1 To him immediately by himself while present with him 2 For him mediately by others when absent Whilst he was present with him So in generall 1.

spirituall Kindred must take place and be preferred in workes of Mercy before those who are a kin unto us only in the flesh Psal 16.3 Rom. 12.13 Than they before any common friend or Neighbour and these before Strangers and Strangers before Enemies Thus if our liberality cannot extend to all sorts we must stretch it as farre as we can according to this order there being an equality of estate and the want and necessity being alike taking things in an even and equall comparison And so when we are linked to any in many of those bonds we are to preferre them before any of those to whom were are but bound in some one particular As a gratious Child before a gracelesse a Religious Kinsman and Neighbour before one irreligious As a Center out of which issueth many Lines the farther they are extended from the Center they are the farther dis-united amongst themselves and the nearer they draw to the Center the nearer they are united So the nearer they draw to God the nearer they should be to us and more beloved of us Phil. 16. How much more unto thee saith Saint Paul to Philemon both in the flesh and in the LORD And so much for this Point Mystically Doct.

As he only had a Calling to go about this work So he only had Power and Ability Those necessary conditions required to our help and succour were performable by no other creature Who could rescue out of the hands of the strong man but he Who could satisfie but he Rom. 3.26 Heb. 2.14 Who could restore to life but he who was God-Man no other could therfore he or none Vse 1 We may than hence first inferre that to whomsoever Christ is not revealed nor made known Isa 53.1 from them Salvation as yet is hidden Ephes 2.12 Salvation is by Christ no Christ no Salvation to be had Are not they much mistaken who think all shall be saved There were and are Nations amongst whom the name of Christ was rever heard Romans 15.20 Even at Athens the name was new and for the novelty of that strange God they desired to heare Paul further Acts 17.18 20. True it is God hath set up his Sonne for a Standard to draw all people to it yet what the better if we have no Eyes nor will to look up The Sunne is set in the Heavens for a publike light yet it benefiteth none but those who have Eyes and open them to admit and make use of that light A Court of Iustice or Equity is a publik Sanctuary yet it actual●y relieveth none but such as fly unto it Christ is a publik and universall Salvation set up for all commers and appliable to all particulars Iohn 3.16 Heb. 2.9 But all this is not beneficiall to life but only to those that receive him and that many receive him not is evident Isa 53.1 Vse 2 Secondly it may stay the heart of every poore wounded sinner who lies groaning under the sight and sence of his spoyled condition For see it is not an estate past hope There is a Samaritane who is willing and able to recover thee and worke thy cure Surely this only is the board that must help to escape the wrack no comfort in any other thing after the Priest and Levite have looked on us and passed by but in this news of the Samaritans comming When Noah was in the Arke if he looked downward he saw nothing but sinking drowning c. if he looked upward nothing but Beares and Tygers yet in the midst of all this he had the Arke to comfort himselfe withall Thus thou lookest upward downeward without thee within thee and every thing affrights thee till thou lookest on Christ and there thy heart reviveth Saint Paul Rom. 7.24 sinking as it were under an unsupportable loade A body of sinne and death which he carried about with him cryes out in an Agony Infaelix ego wretched man that I am His sins seemed to be so many his transgressions so fowle that he counted himselfe miserable and wretched in respect of them Finding himselfe sinking he gets hold upon this twig there he hangs I thanke God through Iesus Christ my Lord q. d. yet I hope God hath sent his Sonne into the world to save sinners of whom I beleeve my selfe to be the cheife Through this cranny let light enter into thy soule Vse 3 And let us learne to receive this Doctrine of Salvation by Christ with all possible joy and affection Luk. 2.10 11. There is matter of joy to the Patient to heare from his Phisition that his disease is cureable To the client to h●are from his Councell that the day is his To one condemned to heare from his friend that a pardon is obtained It is a sweet thing to be saved from fire from water from the sword from Pestilence but to be saved from our sins is a farr greater matter Therfore the joy arising thence should farr exceed the joy that ariseth from any thing of that nature this joy should be like Harvest joy Such strong affections have the godly sensible of their sins and misery borne to this doctrine of Salvation by Christ as that the very name of IESVS hath bin sweeter to the smell of their soules than roses and violets to the outward sense Nomen cum rosis violisque natum Mart.
