A27306	The work of sin (in the flesh) condemned and the power of the enemy (in and over the creature mankind) by spiritual weapons resisted, and warred against ... / R.B.	R. B.	1663 (1663)	Wing B175; ESTC R11933	18,524	26

be of the flesh of the flesh it reapes corruption for the works of each body and spirit is ripe for tryal and to receive Judgement is ready which must be born by and rest end on the transgressor though it hath begun or may begin on the creature of God And though the works of many doth suffer loss in this particular yet so as their persons shall be saved alive in this day of the Lord Iesus but where Judgement goes against the body the tree or man if the creature be not dead to it and it to him how hard is it to be born And the more just judgement is the more painful is it to be born by a life in the creature So this is the sume of what hath been sayed what fruit was brought forth to God before his truth was professed was in a green tree and then was the wild olive standing and the wild vine and grapes was brought forth and as their Judgement was without and in the first man they have found hard measure and were beaten with a few stripes that which was under the Law and had its measure from men without mercy in a time of profession there Judgement is only with the Lord and their fruit called for c. Though such hath been and are beaten with a few stripes and hath the like measure meated from God as they have measured to him in his requirings of their duty to his creature and do taste of the bitter things of his house as he hath tasted of their bitter fruit as the fruitless and barren tree that hath worren out the patience and forbearance of God and hath drawn forth the strength of the root into a bare and meer show and profession flourishing with leaves only but hath no fruit of that which it makes a shew of and professeth in the world This is it that hath a curse at its root which the Axe of God is layed to whereas under the law when the fruit was only sower and unpleasant bitter to the taste of God and unsavoury in the nostriles of the holy one when as in a sensure it was offered to him as insence the axe was onely layed to the branches to the bodyes spreading forth but now cut it down saith the Lord why cumbers it the ground Oh that this could be read for great is the work of God in revealing the mistery hereof in this day For it is this tree God is displeased with in the biterness of his soul that hath not the nature and virtue and sap of the life it makes shew of and professeth to and in the worlds eye and sight whereby the name of God is blasphemed and spoken evil of by and through them that have been branching forth themselves into several Judgements and perswasions of opinion and the strength of all they labour and indeavour after is but to make a fair shew in the flesh and to insult over such they have power over in this particular and so is fit for nought but the fire for the sower grapes though they were unpleasant to Gods taste su●h that our fathers or father eat of this tree and the childrens teeth hath thereby been set an edge whereby the ●nger of what was raised and kindled hath discovered Gods countenance not to be his wounted favour way and course of doing good whereby the sons of men have seen themselves threatned with the displeasure of God that which was thus unpleasant to his relish yet shall this proverb no more be used in our Land the fathers have eaten sower grapes and the childrens teeth are set on edge but as what was done in a green tree hath been favourably dealt with and the branches thereof only cropt and taken away as a time of ignorance God winked at much of these things and chastised them with rods only but now with Scorpions then with a few stripes but now with many and concerning this saith my soul oh that the states hereof could be distinguished of in the world Concerning the words of Christ fear not him that can kill the body but fear ye him that is able to destroy both body and soul and cast it into hell fire Intorduct Because the Judgement of God is eternal and the fire is everlasting into whose burning flames the wicked is and are to be cast it hath become a common proverb in the world that out of hell is no redemption though there may be and are many already in it that thus are useing and exclaiming this message unto others and that both such and all others may have a care for the future what they say and pronounce in such cases I proceed to declare First What hell is And who those are that already are in it Hell is utter darkness and its fire is the unquenchable fury of the wrath of Gods judgement in the torment of the wicked but though it be so to a nature and state the creature mankind was once fallen into and under yet it is not absolutely so to the creature of God in any state he hath been betrayed into and hath so fallen in and under for there is a great deal of difference between the man of sin and worker of inequity the enemy of mankind under whose power the creature of God hath fallen and the creature it self thus betrayed by the subtle alurements and temptation of the serpent and Satan that old deceiver of mankind Yea and the creature of God shall be redeemed and restored in all the world into that state of liberty and under that subjection God first placed and stated him in and though God created all things for himself and the wicked for the day of destruction yet did not God create them wicked but that state they were lead into under the power of the destroyer that thereby hath deceived the creature of that peace and comfort in the world that stands in time and place that otherwayes was therein peculiar to him and that he might have injoyed whose such day of destruction he the destroyer called to himself though the day God created even this day that manifesteth the destroyer and power of destruction that God in eternity and his equal decreeings that measures to every one and thing a just recompence of reward had ordained and measureth back to him and on his own head what he thus awakened to the creature that is now returned to and on himself Therefore Such are already in hell Who are not or hath not been brought down into a sence and filling of the creatures misery under the power of the destroyer and devourer for thither was Christ Jesus the lambe of God that taketh away the sin of the world that was made sin for us though he knew no sin in himself but took on him the infirmities of nature sin was the cause of and suffered the curse of the Law due to sin and that was added because of sin and transgression against God brought and he indured the
