THE VVORLDS PROSPECT OR A Commentarie upon the 33 of ISAIAH and the 14 vers. In these words The sinners in Sion are afraid In which words are declared how farre the Saints may sinne against Knowledge and Conscience and yet not sinne the sin against the holy Ghost Delivered And set forth by JOHN EMERSONE sometime pastr Dispencer of the word in private LONDON Printed by E. P. for Nicholas Gamage and are to be sold at his shop on London-Bridge neere the Gate 1646. The Contents THe poynt from the Text is this That sinnes against Knowledge and Conscience are sinnes of a high nature and when God doth once set them upon the Conscience they cause horror and vexation both in the Saints and Reprobates From the poynts there be these nine particulars derived 1. All sinnes committed against Knowledge and Conscience are not the sinnes against the holy Ghost for sinnes against Faith are not this sinne 2. All sinnes done wittingly and contrivingly and willingly are not this sinne 3. The sinne of unbeliefe which some maintaine to be the sinne against the holy Ghost is not that sinne 4. Every for swearing and denying of the truth of Christ is not this sinne 5. What sinnes of Knowledge be and how they come to be the sinnes against the holy Ghost 6. A Declaration of this sinne against the holy Ghost 7. A reason given why it is a sinne unpardonable 8. Who the persons be that commit this sinne 9. With what knowledge they must be endued that commit this sinne against the holy Ghost In this ensuing Treatise Every one of these particulars are fully proved As also with a word of comfort spoken in due season to troubled Consciences shewing that they need not feare the assurance of their eternall wel-being With many other poynts which are not named in this preamble THE Worlds Prospect ISAIAH 33. 14. vers. The sinners in Sion are afraid IN these words there be these three things considerable 1. The persons who they are in these words Sinners 2. The place they dwelt which was in Sion 3. The effect of sins in these Sinners In the last part of my Text in these word They are afraid From whence I observe by the way this observation That sinne is the originall cause of wicked mens feare In the word sinners I note onely these two sorts of sinners The first sort of sinners that have the guilt of sinne lying upon their soules which guilt of theirs shall never be washed off with the blood of Christ for these two Reasons First Because Divine Wisedome did never set love and mercy on worke for the satisfying of Divine Justice in their behalf Secondly God the Father did never appoynt the blood of his Sonne to wash off the guilt that is upon their soules and therefore they must dye in their guilt which lyeth upon their soules The second sort of sinners which have the guilt of sinne lying upon their soules yet shall not dye in that guilt for these two Reasons First Because God the Father did wisely contrive wayes to satisfie Divine Justice in their behalf Secondly God the Father loved them and did freely wash them in the fountaine of his Sons blood therefore though they were in guilt yet they shall not dye in their guilt Now in the handling of my Text in the fore-named particulars I shall shew from whence sinners were first derived viz. Adam was the first man that ever sinned and thus The first sinne that ever was in man was first found in our first Parents Adam And so I say by that meanes the sinne of our first Parents Adam was imputed unto Rom. 5. 12. and so called our sin Rom. 4. 25. Sinne was the onely cause of Adams feare Gen. 3. 9. So in like manner sinne is an originall of our feare who are the posteritie of sinfull Adam I come now to speake of the place where these sinners dwelt and that place I told you was in Sion a place I say which God did choose above all other places there onely of purpose to put or place his Name in This place Sion is a place unmoveable and therefore in the Scriptures called Mount Sion of old called Salem being the Mount on which Davids house and Castle was placed being in the City of Jerusalem to the East part of the same 1 King 11. 36. Deut. 11. 7 11. Psal. 132. 14. Psal. 125. 1. Rev. 14. 1. Sion a place where the meanes of grace was out of which place came also Perfection of Beauty Psal. 52. 2. Jehovah there was found in the puritie of Ordinances Sion was the Saints inquiring place in the old time I say it was their place of Residence ☞ there was their hopes in times past in an ordinance-way and there is still their hopes to enjoy Christ in a visible and glorious way for ever Though all the earth be mine yet Sion have I chosen to be the place of my habitation for ever and there will I dwell amongst my people and will goe in and out before them for ever leading them forth even as a Shepheard doth his flock Glorious things are spoken of thee thou City of God for it is the place and City of the great King even Christ Jesus And I heard him say unto me Sonne of Man this is the place of my Throne and the place of the soales of my feet where I will dwell in the middest of the Children of Israel for ever and then my holy name shall the house of Israel no more defile neither they nor their Kings These sinners which my Text speakes of had their names given unto them from the hainousnesse of their sinnes I say as they were sinners so they had the names of sinners given unto them And because they sinned against the gift of grace in Sion so they were called sinners of Sion and in the place where they dwelt They were afraid Sinnes committed against Knowledge be sinnes of a high nature and cause feare from these three particulars which were considerable in my Text From them I ●ay are these poynts derived which are these That sinne committed against Conscience and Knowledge be sins of a high na●ure and when God doth charge them upon the Conscience they cause terror and vex●tion both in the Saints and also in the Reprobates In the opening of the poynt I shall shew unto you how that all sinnes committed against Conscience and Knowledge is not the sinne against the holy Ghost 1. All sinnes committed against Knowledge and Conscience are not this sinne 2 Sam. 12. 9. 1 King 15. 5. sinne against faith is not this sinne 2. Sinnes done wittingly and contri●ingly against Knowledge and Conscience are not this sinne 3. All sinnes against gifts and graces are ●ot this sinne 1 Cor. 1. 7 11 12. 2 Sam. 11. ● 25. 2 Sam. 12. 9. The sinne of unbeliefe which some maintaine to be the sinne against the holy Ghost is not that sinne if it had bin this
