bridegrome It is an article of our beliefe and surely not without singular comfort and commoditie that he that vouchsafed to take our nature vpon him and to bee cloathed with our flesh that suffered and endured the spitefull dealing of the wicked and an accursed death for our sakes that he that rose from death to bring vs to life that he that ascended into heauen to procure vs an entrance into his fathers Kingdome and to make vs fellow heires with himselfe that he I say would not forsake vs euen in the most dreadfull time and greatest necessitie when we had deserued the heauy sentence of iudgement and wofull condemnation That hee would set vs free from all feare and to haue that comfortable and most gracious regard of vs as though we had neuer offended him and to vse this chearefull and ioyfull speech vnto vs Come ye blessed I say this article is not without singular comfort From thence shall be come to iudge both the quicke and the dead Which is not spoken to the wicked to whom nothing is comfortable but onely the vanities and pleasures of this transitorie life which shall haue an end and a sudden end and a finall and heauy recompence but to the comfort of the godly and to encourage them which haue sighed and groaned vnder the burthen of their sinnes and who haue fledde vnto the throne of the grace of God and holding out a godly course haue through hope and patience looked for this deliuerance which shall be at the day of doome and iudgement Which comming of Christ vnto iudgement shal be vnto them as the appearing of the Angel was after Christ his resurrectioÌ„ vnto the women that is milde and gentle Be not ye affraid let not your hearts be troubled But vnto the rest his countenance shall be like lightning and hee shal come in flaming fire reÌ„dring vengeance So that they shall not be onely astonied and become as dead men as were the souldiers that were set to keepe our Sauiour Christ in the graue but furthermore they shall be in horrible feare and trembling And happy were they if they might be partakers of their desire so far as not to be to become as thogh they had neuer bene borne But as the godly do passe to ioyes so the other of force must liue in eternall torments In consideration of which iudgement and torments to come they leade a life continually in feare and treÌ„ble at the remembrance of their woful estate which hereafter shal be The godly also haue good cause to feare the selfesame feare of the last iudgement and eternall torments in respect of their manifold sinnes and offences whereby they haue prouoked the heauy wrath of God against them But that they might be raised vp againe and comforted it pleased our Sauiour Christ to receiue the sentence of condemnation himselfe and against his owne person hee beeing altogether innocent and guiltlesse in the presence and from the mouth of an earthly Iudge Pontius Pilat by name that wee might bee acquitted and set free at the terrible and fearefull day of iudgement which in the ende of the world shall come vpon all flesh that wee I say might bee acquitted which are altogether full of sinnes and altogether guiltie According to that we read Ro. 8.1 Now then there is no coÌ„deÌ„natioÌ„ to them that are in Christ Iesus And what shall we then say If God be on our side who caÌ„ be against vs who spared not his own son but gaue him for vs al to death how shall he not with him giue vs all things also who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen It is God that iustifieth who shall condemne It is Christ which is dead yea or rather which is risen againe who is also at the right hand of God maketh requÌ„est also for vs. So that I may boldly say to them who feele the inward comfort of Gods spirit within their hearts by the forgiuenesse of their sinnes through Christ his death Feare not this feare nor tremble as the wicked doo at this iudgement For seeing ye are led by the good spirit of God it is a token that yee are the children of God and that yee haue not receiued the spirit of bondage to feare againe but ye haue receiued the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba which is as much as to say father euen our father which art in heauen And the same spirit of God beareth witnesse with our spirit that wee are the children of God and if we be children wee are also heires euen the heires of God and fellowe heires with Christ our elder brother Wherefore there is no cause why the godly should feare this iudgement as the wicked feare it For as the one sort shall at that day receiue the iudgement of condemnation whereof they haue an inward feeling in this life which makes them feare so the other shall receiue the sentence of absolution and shall bee quit as it were by proclamation when Christ shall say Come yee blessed Which is the cause that moueth the holy Apostle S. Iohn 1. Ep. 4.17 to breake forth into these words Herein is the loue of God perfect toward vs that we should haue boldnesse at the day of iudgement Therefore the godly make their prayers and wish that this day might come shortly Reue. 22. Come Lord Iesus come quickly The wicked would not haue it come as yet nay if it were possible they could wish it should neuer be and that it would neuer come to passe Torment vs not say the diuels to Christ before our time Oh say the wicked that this time might neuer be or that after death wee might vanish away and come to nothing How greatly auaileable shall it be to the godly when hee that is their Sauiour and hath shead his most precious bloud for their redemption hee that is their elder brother and hath purchased vnto them this libertie as to be called the sonnes of God when he that is their head and hath made theÌ„ his members shal be their Iudge to iustifie them and to declare them righteous and whâ—n at that day hee shall deliuer them from all sinne feare of death the diuell hell and all other miseries wherewith other shall not onely be ouertaken but ouerwhelmed For who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods children and who shall procure their destruction whose saluation God hath wrought But to the great terrour of the godlesse and wicked who feare not God nor loue either Christ or his Gospell hee shall be their Iudge to their fearefull and that most iust destruction This also shal not onely be an inward refreshing amoÌ„g great miseries wrongs and persecutions while wee liue heere on the earth but also a great ioy in time to come that al vnrighteous iudgement shall be called to account and that there shal be a generall and most absolute reformation For on earth for the most part there is no true

soule shall bee many And first to begin with that which I finde set downe in the Text. And the citie hath no need of the Sun or the Moone to shine in it that is there shal be seene no earthly wants For what a great temporall blessing is the benefite of the Sunne most comfortable to man and beast which bringeth forth the fruites of the earth for mans foode and without the which al things seeme to be sad lowring But theÌ„ shal we not need this benefite for the presence of God shall be more comfortable and the glory of God shall supply the want of Sun and Moone All things then shall bee ministred vnto vs so aboundantly that wee shall not so much as once think of any want whether it be foode or cloathing or any comfort of this life whatsoeuer As the Prophet Isay doth worthily expresse it Chap. 49.10 They shall not be hungry neither shall they be thirsty neither shal the heate smite them nor the Sun For he that hath compassion on them shall lead them euen to the springs of waters Here the body hath need of rest but there shal be no night neither shall there be any need of rest heere for feare of theeues and enemies our houses and the gates of our cities are shut but there the gates shall not be shut but alwayes open because there shal be no feare of enemies no feare of future hurts and dangers They that are oppressed here had need of defence of helpe and comfort and hardly it is to be had in this world Eccles 5.7 Psal 10. But there shall violence no more be heard of Esay 60.18 There shall euery ones cause be heard and euery wrong shall be righted For there shall be no curse for not onely the course of sin shall bee cut off but all ocasions of sinne shall far be remoued from vs and we shall bee throughly reconciled vnto our God and we shall enioy perfect peace As no griefe of minde so no disease of body shall molest vs neither shall there be any vse or need of Phisicke All infirmities shall be turned into perfections and all deformitie shall haue an end That which is now the mighty conquerour of mankinde that is death shall then be trode vnder foote for death shal be swallowed vp into victory that with comfort we may say O death where is thy sting O graue where is thy victory 1. Cor. 15. And that which our first parents could not taste of nor so much as touch that is of the tree of life for though they tasted of the tree of knowledge of good and euill yet they were soone cast out of Paradice least they should put forth their hand and take of the tree of life also and eate and liue for euer Gene. 3.22 in this Ierusalem euen in the midst of the streete of it shal be the tree of life and a common passage vnto it Reue. 22.2 For this corruptible shall put on incorruption and this mortal shall put on immortalitie Thus shall there be mirth without sadnesse health without sicknesse strength without weakenesse life without labour light without darknesse felicitie without abatement al goodnesse without any euill Where youth flourisheth that neuer waxeth olde life that knoweth no end beautie that neuer fadeth loue that neuer cooleth health that neuer diminisheth ioy that neuer ceaseth there shall be pleasure without paine and all happinesse without any change and life without the reach and gunshot of death The godly in this life are as wares then shall they come to their own possession now they are in the skirmish then shal they be crowned coÌ„querors now they are in the teÌ„pestuous sea then shal they be in the quiet hauen now in the heat of the day theÌ„ shal they be in the rest of the euening Now in place they are absent froÌ„ Christ thogh in affection they be present with him then shal they follow him whither soeuer he goeth now they suffer trouble with Christ though their life be hid in Christ but when Christ shal appeare they also shal appeare with him in glory Col. 3.3 and then also shal they receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory According to that warrant which was pronouÌ„ced by a voice froÌ„ heauen Re. 14.13 Write Blessed are the dead which hereafter die in the Lord. Euen so saith the spirit for they rest from their labors their works follow theÌ„ And what ioy wil thy soule receiue at that day wheÌ„ she shal be presented before so honorable and infirnite a multitude before the seat and maiestie of the blessed Trinitie with recital declaratioÌ„ of all thy good works trauels suffred for the loue and seruice of God wheÌ„ there shall be laide down in that honorable coÌ„sistory all thy vertuous deeds all the laborys that thou hast taken in thy calling all thy almes all thy praiers all thy fasting all thy innoceÌ„cie of life all thy patience in iniuries all thy constancie in aduersities And for their further comfort and in a maner woonderful astonishment as the wicked shal be vexed with horrible fear when they shal see the righteous staÌ„d in great blodnes they shal curse their foolishnes madnesse for tormenting such vniustly whom they thought nothing worthy of honour and yet now see them among the Saints of God Wisd 5. So shall the righteous in their place go forth and looke vpon the carkasses of the men that haue transgressed Gods will and holy lawe Esay 66.24 And looking backe vpon the daungers which they haue passed and wherein other men are yet in hazard their ioy shall so much the more be encreased For they shall euidently see how infinite times they were to perish in this their mortall life if God had not held his speciall hand ouer them They shall see and behold the daungers wherein other men are plunged and the death and damnation whereinto many of their friends and acquaintance haue fallen the eternall paines of hell incurred by many that vsed to laugh and be merry with them in the world when as they shall shine as stars which haue conuerted many vnto God Dan. 12. As contrariwise they that by their euill example and manifold offences haue bene the cause of the downfall of many shall suffer intollerable griefe In earth no ioy pleasure or comfort so surpassing so strange so wonderfull but will breed a sacietie and we shall after a while waxe aweary thereof either desiring greater or else longing after varietie as mans nature is giuen to nothing so much as to newnesse and noueltie but behold the ioyes of this new Ierusalem shall be so diuers so straunge and so incredible that we shal neuer be satisfied therewith Which in the Reue. 21.2 is expressed in these words that the tree of life bare 12. maner of fruites and gaue fruite euery moneth Twelue manner of fruites there is the diuersities of their ioyes Giuing fruit euery moneth there is the continual change Stil pleasing
