but great faith where there is (b) Luk. 8.47 48. fear and * i. e. At Gods presence and glory and a mans owne vilenesse debility Esa 6.5 Job 40 4. trembling and it is a sure signe of faith to see your owne (c) Mar. 9.24 unbeleef and (d) Luk. 7.7 unworthinesse Fourthly Consider whether you doe not sin against God and wrong your owne soule by such unbeleeving words For if you do beleeve and say you doe not then doe you deny the worke of God in you and lie against the Spirit of God Againe suppose you doe not beleeve yet by your words you put weapons in the hands of the Devill to wound and kill your selfe for when you accuse your selfe to be an unbeleever and a Hypocrite doe you thinke that Satan will not make advantage of your sayings against you and so labour to confirm you in your unbeleef and doubts Therefore I counsel Saints to take heed what confessions they make what accusations they charge themselves with for Satan will seeke no better proofe against a man to impeach him before God then this Lord I accuse such a man to be an unbeleever and a hypocrite witnesse this owne confession if he be so why dost thou suffer him to live if he be not so why dost thou suffer him to lie Consider (a) Psal 77.8 9 10. Asaph a godly man and holy Prophet when he had but propounded these doubting questions though he concluded nothing Will the Lord cast off for ever and will he be favourable no more Is his mercy cleane gone for ever doth his promise faile for evermore c. he presently sees his sin therein and saith This is my infirmity or as it is in the (b) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Lxx. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Now I have begun Hebrew this is that my sicknesse or plague he looked upon unbeleefe as the great plague sore of his soule and till God convince you of unbeleefe and that it is your sinne to give way to doubting you will continue to nourish this snake in your bosome which will sting your souls to death Ob. But though God makes the Covenant with men at first freely and though it be sure in its selfe yet afterwards there is some condition on mans part which if it bee not performed by man God is dismissed and discharged from performing his part for in a mutuall Covenant among men when one party neglects to performe the Covenant or Articles on his part the other is no longer tyed in that Covenant to the other party or to performe the conditions on his part A. This Objection supposes three things that are not true First that the Covenant of grace is partly free and partly conditionall but this hath beene before spoken of and therefore I say no more but what the (a) Esa 26.12 Prophet saith by altering the tense and person The Lord doth worke all our workes in or for us as well after beleeving as before beleeving Secondly This Objection seems to hold forth that a man may have true faith objected before as the condition of the Covenant and afterwards lose it But it s plaine otherwise that the (b) 1 Job 2.27 Spirit and (c) 1 Jo. 3.9 seed of God being once in beleevers they remaine and abide for ever in them and therefore they cannot lose their faith or any other grace totally It s true they may lose (d) Ps 51.12 2 Sam. 27.1 with Ps 3.6 degrees of faith and recover them againe and they may (e) Prov. 24.16 fall oft and be restored and (f) Hos 14 4 backslide and be recovered But God hath said (a) Jer. 32.40 I will write my Lawes in their hearts and they shall not depart from me Thirdly this Objection would make God as man and Gods Covenant like mans Covenant but neither of both is so Let God therefore be true but every man a lyar for when God makes this Covenant of grace once with any he cannot doth not nor will not breake it with them For marke how the Lord (b) Esa 54.10 speakes The mountaines shall depart and the hills shall be removed but my kindnesse shall not depart from thee neither shall the Covenant of my peace be removed So in (c) Jer. 33.20 Jeremy If you can breake my Covenant of the day and my Covenant of the night that there should not be day and night in their season then may also my Covenant be broken c. But grant Gods Covenant to be like mans Covenant though to speak with reverence it differs as much as God and man differ yet doth not the Apostle (d) Gal. 3.15 say though it be but a mans Covenant yet if it be confirmed no man disanulleth it And if man who is both fraile and mutable will keepe his promise and covenant how much more will God who is (e) Gen. 17.1 Alsufficient (f) Jam. 1.17 without variablenesse and (g) Tit. 1.2 cannot lie keepe his Covenant Can it be thought that that just God who (h) Ro. 1.31 hates Covenant-breaking and (i) Eze. 17.15 16 17 18. punishes Covenant-breakers will himselfe breake Covenant no no far be it from us to entertaine such a sinfull thought Ob. But God threatens the children of Israel that they should know his breach of promise Num. 14.34 A. That is they should know what it was to charge him with breach of promise withall this was but a conditionall and temporall promise see Judg. 2.1 Ob. But God threatens to deal with men even as they deal with him so that if they breake Covenant with him he may do the like with them Ezek. 16.59 A. Gods dealing here was not to breake his Covenant with them for in the next verse he saith hee will remember his Covenant and establish it with them but his dealing with them was to chastise them as he saith (a) Ps 89.31 32 33 34. else-where If they breake my Statutes and Commandements then will I visit their transgressions with a Rod and their iniquity with stripes neverthelesse my loving kindnesse will I not utterly take from him nor suffer my faithfulnesse to faile my Covenant I will not breake nor alter the thing that is gone out of my mouth Ob. Yet God saith in Zach. 11.10.11 that he did break his Covenant with them A. By this Covenant may bee meant outward happinesse that God had promised the Jewes and that conditionally or else by this Covenant as may seem by the 11. verse may be meant Jesus Christ which the poore of the flocke i. e. the elect and saithfull knew to be the word of God which was broken for their sins and this agrees with other Scriptures which call Christ a (b) Esa 42.6 Covenant and also speake of the (c) Esa 53.10 breaking of him as Esa 53. It pleased the Lord to bruise him or as the Hebrew is to (d) Dacha that same word which is
in which he freely and absolutely conveyes all his estate riches benefits blessings and merits to be divided distributed and disposed among his poore friends the children of men that beleeve in him And that this Testament might bee of force Christ the Testator dyes otherwise the Testament (z) Heb. 8.16 17. could not bee of force and the holy Spirit is (a) Joh. 16.13.14 appointed by Christ as Executor to see this his will performed Q. Was there no necessity for Christ to dye save onely to confirme the Covenant A. Yes there were many other ends and reasons of Christ his death Q. What are they A. First To (b) Lu. 24.44 fulfill the Scriptures viz. the Ceremonies (c) Mat 26.56 Prophesies and (d) Mat. 5.17 Commandements or morall Law and that this was a maine end of Christs death it clearly appeares by our Saviours (e) Mat 26.54 owne words when Peter would have defended him with the sword but how then saith Christ to him shall the Scriptures be fullfilled (f) Lu. 24.44 Ioh. 19.36 again all things saith he must be fullfilled that are written in the Law of Moses in the Prophets and in the Psalmes concerning me Q. How did Christ by his death fullfill the Ceremoniall Law A. The Ceremonial Law which confisted in types and shadowes as in slaying and offering of sacrifices in shedding of blood when Christ who was the (g) Ich. 1.7 truth here is put in opposition to ceremonies truth and substance of them suffered they were expired finished executed in which sense the word fulfilled is (h) Act. 13.25 Rev. 15.8 taken yea the whole bulke and body of that law with all that belonged thereunto was as I have hinted before so absolutly and perfectly (i) Eph. 2.15 the Greeke word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies destroyed taken away and (k) Col. 2.14 nailed to Christs crosse that those Ceremonies were afterwards to bee looked upon in respect of observance as if they never had been at all and no more to be (l) Col. 2.20.21 22. by ordinances is meant the ceremonies Heb. 9.1.20 used then if they had never beene commanded by God Obj. If they were so done away by the death of Christ why had they not beene put out of the Bible A. They are not left in the bible that men may retaine and use those Ceremonies now in Gospel dayes as Prelaticall and Demi-Jewish-Priests did and stil do maintaine viz. a materiall Temple or Church therefore Temple or Church-worship Altars therefore offerings and sacrifices Piests therefore Tythes and Oblation but they are left that Jewes and Gentiles may compare the Type with the Antitype that they might beleeve Likewise to shew the great difference between the administration of the Law which the Jewes were under and the administration of the Gospell which the Gentiles are now under and that wee Gentiles may praise God for our freedome from such Obj. If they were done away by the death of Christ why then did the Apostles after his death use any of them A. 1. The Apostles did use but very few of them and that very seldome and but for a short time neither then to allow of them or confirme them but partly because that the Jewith people were not as yet (n) Ac 13.45 46 47. rejected nor unchurched and partly because of their (o) 1 cor 9.20 21 22. weaknesse hoping thereby to win them But wee do not find that the Apostles did ever do this among the Gentiles as I remember but once that (p) ga 2.12.13 Peter did conforme out of feare and dissimulation and then Paul reproves him (q) v. 11. 14. publickly and that justly too for it 2. The Apostles did both (r) Act 15.6 7 10 12 19 20. joyntly and (s) Ac 17 24 7.48 severally (t) Ac 21.21 teach and (u) Ac 21.25 write against the observation of those Ceremonies making the (w) 2 cor 11 14. with Gal 6 12. Phil 3.2 teachers thereof false and the (x) Gal 5 2. 4 9 11. observers thereof faith lesse Obj. Nay the Apostles were so farre from taking away all the Ceremonies that at a publicke Assembly they rather establish some of them Act 15.29 as blood and things strangled and things offered to Idols they do prohibite to be eaten which things were Ceremoniall and prohibited in that Law A. 1. You are to understand that the Church of Antioch and some other Churches to whom the Apostles wrote and sent their decrees consisted both of Jewes and Gentiles and so were guilty of giving offence each to other as some by Fornication others by eating things offered to Idols things strangled and blood The Apostles for the reconciling of them each to other and likewise to subdue sinne amongst them joyn eating of things offered to Idols things strangled and blood being now but things indifferent with Fornication which was absolutely evill that so both parties without upbraiding each other might close in love and eschew sin Note also that in three Greek copies there is this added at the end of the (e) Staphanus Greek Testament 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 b. 1 so after the word fornication in the 20 verse 20 verse that whatsoever ye would not have done to you do ye not to others 2. Those decrees concerning meate offered to Idols things strangled and blood did not then binde their consciences For doubtlesse they might have eaten thereof without sin in case they did not offend others by eating much lesse doth it binde Christians now Therefore be not scrupulous in this but read the (f) Ro 14 14 1 Cor 8 8. 1 Tim 4.5 Act 10 14 15. These Scriptures shew that all things edible may be eaten now in Gospell days without sin Scriptures that are sufficient to resolve you herein Q. How did Christ fullfill the Prophesies by his death A. He (z) So the word is taken in Psal 20.4 1 Kin. 2.27 made good those Prophesies that foretold his death as for example compare Zach. 11.12 with Matth. 27.3 and Esa 50.6 with Matth. 26.67 and Psal 69.21 with Matth. 27.34 Esa 53.12 with 22.37 and Psa 22.18 and Mat. 27.35 These and severall other paralleld Scriptures doe plainly shew that Christs sufferings were a true and lively exposition of the Prophets and that the words of the Prophets without variation or contradiction were true in him Q But how could it possibly be that the Jewes who knew all these Prophesies did not see them fulfilled in Christ A. Doubtlesse that (a) 2 Thes 2.10.11 Scripture was verified in them Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved God sent them strong delusions that they should believe a lye they partly (b) Mar. 13.15 shut their eyes against the truth and partly (c) Joh. 12.40 Esa 6.8 God blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts and partly the (d) 2
to his Father That (m) Ioh. 11.52 Prophesie was also true though spoken by a false man that he i.e. Christ should gather together in one all the children of God that were scattered abroad Hereby you see that all the Elect are accounted and termed the children of God as well those uncalled as those that are already called Ob. But the Lord saith of the Gentiles that he will (n) Ro. 9.23 call them his people which were not his people which plainly shewes that God did not account them to be his people before they were called A. The meaning is that they were not his people by outward profession as the Jewes were but doubtlesse they were his people by (o) Ro. 11.2 fore knowledge and (p) Eph. 1.4 15. 1 Pet. 1.2 election as our Saviour said of the same people Other sheep I have which are not of this fold Here marke he ownes them to be his Sheep though they were not as yet brought into the same sold Ob. But the Apostle saith that we are all the children of God by (q) Gal. 3.26 faith in Christ Jesus so that untill we doe beleeve we are not his children A. Men may be said to be the children of God severall wayes as by (r) So are all Angels all men Iob 1.6 2.1 Mal. 2 10. Creation by (s) Eph. 1.5 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 having sealed us unto the adoption See Rom. 9.4 Election and Adoption and by (t) Gal. 3.26 Faith and (u) Jam. 1.18 Ioh. 3.3 Mat. 18.3 Regeneration In the latter of these senses men are not the children of God till they doe receive the Spirit and beleeve yet (w) Gal. 4.6 because they are children God gives his Spirit unto them It is (x) 1 Joh 3.24 Rom. 8.16 impossible that any should know themselves to be Gods children till they are converted and do really and actually beleeve Yet doubtlesse God may and doth know them to be his children long before and if none could be Gods children save onely by faith how then are those saved Infants who doe not actually beleeve for ought we can gather from Scripture the children of God Q. Can men be saved any other way but by the Covenant of Grace A. No sure for men must bee saved either by the Covenant of grace or by the Covenant of works for there be but those two wayes and the Apostle saith That (a) Gal. 2.16 no man is justified by the workes of the Law So (b) Ro. 3.28 elsewhere he saith That a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the Law and that (c) Rom. 4.6 righteousnesse is imputed without works If then a man cannot be justified and saved by the Covenant of workes and there be no other way but the Covenant of grace of necessity men must bee saved that way and by that Covenant or not at all Ob. But why cannot men be saved by the Covenant of works A. Because the Covenant of workes requires to salvation that which no man can perform viz. (d) Ro. 10.6 personall (e) Gal. 3.10 perfect and (f) Jam. 2.10 perpetuall obedience Ob. But may not men be saved partly by the Covenant of works and partly by the Covenant of grace A. No for if it is of grace then it is no more of workes otherwise grace is no more grace but if it be of works then it is no more grace So that it is inconsistent to grace to have workes joyned and added unto it in the point of justification and salvation Rom. 11.6 Q. Are men then saved onely by grace A. Oh yes onely and altogether by grace for the whole way and path of salvation is paved with the grace of God the Father and the grace of Jesus Christ the grace of love the grace of good will the grace of mercy and the grace of Christ his merits and obedience So that from everlasting to everlasting from the first minute of time that God intended mens salvation to the last moment of Eternity if I may so expresse it there was nothing and there will be nothing but grace in mens salvation (g) Ro. 11.5 their predestination and election their (h) 2 Tim. 1.9 Gal. 1.15 calling and vocation their (i) Ro. 3.24 Tit. 3.7 redemption and justification their (k) Ro. 9.26 adoption and (l) Ezek. 36 25 26. sanctification their (m) Ro. 5.2 confirmation and consolation their (n) 2 Cor. 12 9. preservation and supportation their (o) Ro. 5.17 perseverance and (p) Tit. 3.5 glorification flowes all from free grace (q) Eph. 1.7 and 2.7 riches and exceeding riches of grace Nothing moved God to will mens salvation but his good Pleasure nothing perswaded God to send his Son Jesus Christ God gives all to men does all for men and works all in men freely Hos 14.4 Ro. 8.32 Rev. 21 6. 22.18 Esa 26.12 55.1 2. to worke mens redemption but his meere and dear love Observe here is nothing of self-will nothing of self-righteousnesse nothing of selfe-power neither fore-seene faith nor fore-seen workes no qualifications nor conditions no preparations nor performances no duties nor deserts of men having so much as avoice the least hand or place in their salvation The first and the last stone yea all the materialls in this glorious building of mens salvation is hewne out of the Quarry of Gods unspeakable Grace Oh soule consider how the God of grace owned thee how the Lord of grace bought thee how the Word of grace called thee how the Herbe of grace healed thee and how the Spirit of grace wrought in thee and sealed thee yea when thou didst slight and reject grace then like Hester thou didst obtaine grace above thousands cry therefore Grace Grace and say I had perished and been damned for ever had it not beene for Gods grace for where my sinne did abound his grace did abound much more and when I was exceedingly gracelesse the Lord was more abundantly and exceedingly gracious Ob. If men are saved onely by grace how then is it said that (a) Luk. 7.50 faith (b) Ro. 8.24 hope the (c) 1 Co. 15.2 Gospel and (d) 1 Pet. 3.21 Baptisme do save men A. I. Faith hope the Gospel and Baptisme are all (e) Eph. 2.8 2 The. 2.16 1 Cor. 2.12 fruits and effects of Gods grace and given freely unto men and so included in grace and therefore to be saved by any of these is to be saved by grace for these are of grace But Secondly Faith hope the Gospel Baptisme c. are considered as the instrumentall meanes of mens salvation As the Apostle (f) 2 The. 2.13 saith That God hath chosen men to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and beliefe of the truth Marke he doth not say for sanctification and beliefe of the truth as making those the causes of mens salvation but through sanctification and beliefe
CHRIST and MOSES Excellency OR Sion and Sinai's Glory BEING A Triplex Treatise distinguishing and explaining the TWO COVENANTS or the Gospel and Law AND Directing to the right understanding applying and finding of the Informing and Assuring Promises that belong to both Covenants By VAVASOR POVVELL Preacher of the Gospel in Wales Joh. 1.17 The Law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ Gal. 3.21 Is the Law then against the Promises of God God forbid LONDON Printed by R. I. for Hannah Allen at the Crown in Popes head-Alley 1650. To the courteous and Christian READER Reader THis little Book is divided into three parts and it treats orderly of three things to wit of the Covenant of grace of the Covenant of works and of the promises belonging to both In the two first parts is handled most or all of the materiall Questions about the Gospel and Law also the Intent extent and efficacie of the death of Christ together with the Scriptures that declare the same and the Objections that are made about the universality thereof In the last Part are several things concerning the dividing understanding and applying of the Promises with an easie and speedy way how to finde all or most promises in the Bible alphabetically Though there be severall books extant some upon the Gospel and Law and others particularly upon the Promises yet I hope I may truly and without ostentation affirm that this hath the sum of most of them somwhat more then any of them especially concerning the Promises about which I have taken no smal paines where besides sever all other things there are a See pag. 260. c. forty five Rules gathered out of the Scriptures for to give light therein also the promises made to b See pag. 269. Christ personally by themselves in severall particulars and the promises made to the c As pag. 271 c. Jews whilst they were formerly a Church Likewise the promises that concern the d As Pag. 275. c. Jewes hereaster when they are called and converted and these under distinct and severall heads The third Part of this book to wit that upon the Promises may serve for a double use First as a small Concordance where you may find proofes especially those of the nature of promises for most material points in Scripture Secondly this may serve for to help you to find Promises for any thing you desire and which is to be found in the Scripture and that instantly without looking in the Table to the book for that reaches no further then the promises As for example to find Promises of faith See the word Faith in the margin of pag. 331. so of any other word Object But it may bee you will say There were severall Books extant before that did direct us to find the Promises Answ It is very true that other and far more able men then my selfe have done exceeding well herein yet to use the expression of one of them That a child upon a Gyants shoulders can see further then the Gyant So I having the help of their labours herein and of other bookes but especially by a frequent thorow and diligent search of Gods Book I have by the Lords light and Spirit seen and set down without vaine-glory be it mentioned more Promises by severall scores according to comparison and computation and in a more distinct and easie way to finde then others have to my understanding done before me Observe but these few Rules and I will leave thee to tryall 1 I doe divide the Promises into two ranks or sorts to wit informing and assuring Promises and the difference I make between them is this that the informing Promises which are upon the left side of the page doe not speake directly and patly but by way of information but the Assuring Promises speak directs and those are the chiefest Promises As for instance in the word pardon pag. 404. in the Informing Promises in Nth. 9.17 God is said to be ready to pardon But in the Assuring Promises in Jer. 33.8 God saith I will pardon all their iniquities 2Vnderstand that there are not Informing and Assuring promises under every word As for example in the word glory there are no Assuring or direct Promises So in the word finde there are no Informing Promises 3 There are severall things or heads under one word As for example under the word receive there are six distinct things so under the word save 4 Where you finde but few Promises or sometimes but one Promise under a word know that there is no more in the Bible belonging to that word as in the word Peace-makers 5 Note that severall words are of the same signification and if you find not many or several Promises in one word turn and see in another as in the word Assurance See there is know faith beleeve confident 6 Observe that sometime words that give light or testimony to a oint though they doe not sound like Pâ—mises yet they are set downe as Promiss As in the word kindnesse 7 Search for the Promises here and then read them in Gods owne Book and labour to get the Promises especially the chiefe ones and those that are of spirituall and speciall concernment by heart Loving Reader having held thee thus long in the Porch I invite thee into the house but I am sorry that this book is so big and I fear deare but not dearer by any Merchandize I have made of it but it s not so dear to thee as to me it having cost me many nights study because I would not neglect for the Printing of a thousand Books the preaching of one Sermon I intended this onely for a private yet worthy Gentleman who by many severall motions and courtesies put me on I wish him and thee as much good in reading as I had in stuching and writing it And this shall be the prayer of one of the Lords meanest Saints and in him thy servant for thy soules good V.

in Ps 94.5 breake him in pieces Ob. Yet for all this the Covenant of grace may be broken if not on Gods part yet on mans part for it is said plainely that the Israelites brake the everlasting Covenant Esa 24.6 A. By the Covenant here is meant the (e) 2 King 18.12 Law or ten Commandements which the Israelites brake as it is in the (f) Heb. 8.9 Hebrewes They continued not in my Covenant and I regarded them not saith the Lord. Ob. But did not the Lord make this Covenant with the people of the Jewes and yet for their unbeleefe they are cast out and broken of these sixteene hundred yeares A. You are to consider the Jewes (g) Rom. .2 28 29. Gal. 2.15 with Rev. 2.9 two wayes either carnall and spirituall or Jewes onely by name nature and profession or else Jewes indeed viz. the faithfull and sincere hearted people of God or for the elect Jews that are yet to be called As for the first sort of them God did never make the Covenant of grace with them neither were they ever in or under the saving part and promises thereof And as for the faithfull he never brake promise with them and for the elect Jewes that are yet to be called God will remember the Covenant made with their Fathers and will (h) Esa 59.20 Ro. 11 27 28. performe it unto them their children Ob. But how could those carnall Jewes be cast out of the Covenant if they were never in A. It s usuall in Scripture language to speake of persons not as indeed they are but as they seem to be as in Exod. 32.33 God threatens to blot their names out of the booke of life whereas indeed they were (i) Rev. 20.15 never in the booke of life unlesse by the booke of life you understand the (k) Ps 69 2â— booke of naturall life or of the (l) Deu. 29.20 life of communion with the people of God as that Scripture is to be understood but they were rather written in the (m) Jer. 17.13 Earth then in Heaven So (n) Joh. 15.2 branches are said to be in Christ when they are not really but (o) v. 6. seemingly so In this sense those carnall Jewes and carnall beleevers may be said to bee in Covenant with God and in no other sense for were they really and indeed in Covenant with him they could never bee cast out nor the Covenant broken with them For the whole word of God is very (p) Ps 9 3 5. 19.7 111.7 sure and all his promises very (q) 2 Cor. 1.20 certaine grounded upon the (r) 2 Tim. 1.19 unchangeable purpose and (s) Heb. 6.17 counsel of God so that he being altogether wise (t) Joh. 21.17 knowes how to performe and (u) Gen. 17.1 Isa 43 13. al-sufficient is able to performe (w) 1 Thes 5.24 faithfull and must performe (x) ps 145.8 gracious and mercifull and therefore will and cannot chuse but performe Nay since God hath never (y) 1 kin 8.56 Iosh 21.45 and 23.14 failed nor brok promise surely he will not do it Fiftly It is a peaceable Covenant or a (a) Is 54.10 Eze. 37.26 Covenant of peace for when God enters into this Covenant with men it is a signe hee is at (b) Ez. 16 60 61 62 63. peace with them and pacified towards them (c) Eph. 2.13 14. through Jesus Christ Also then the Lord (d) Is 57.19 speakes peace to their soules and (e) Is 33.17 Rom. 4.17 sets up peace in their consciences so that they walke with God in peace as the (f) Mal. 2.6 expression is concerning Levi and are (g) luk 1.79 led into the way of peace and their (h) Phil 4.7 Rom. 8.6 Isa 26.3 hearts and mindes are kept by that peace so that it may bee said that the children of the Covenant have (i) Is 54.13 great peace with (k) Ro. 5.1 God with the (l) Ez 34.25 Hos 2.18 Iob. 5.23 24. creatures in (m) Is 66.12 Psa 29.11 life and (n) Ps 37.37 Ier. 34.5 death Obj. But there bee many that are doubtlesse in Covenant with God and yet have neither spirituall nor worldly peace neither peace within nor peace without neither peace living nor peace dying so that it may be said of them as the expression is that they know not the way of peace and they hear rather a voice of trembling and of feare then of peace A. 1. It is true as (o) Eccl. 3.8 Solomon saith in another case that there is a time of war and a time of peace and doubtlesse many a deare and precious soule that is in Covenant and favour with God may for a time want-inward peace and till the Lord himselfe (p) Ps 85.8 speakes peace and (q) Is 45.7 makes peace the soul cannot enjoy it yet mark how graciously the Lord speaks (r) Is 27.5 Let him take hold on my strength and hee shall make peace with me and I (s) Is 57.19 create the fruit of the lips peace peace to him that is a farre off and to him that is neare c. It may be the fault of many soules to refuse to receive peace as the (t) Ps 77.2 Prophet refused to be comforted or else to ground it upon their sense and feeling and when that is gone their peace is lost whereas inward and soule-peace comes through (u) Rom 5.1 15.13 beleeving Seeing then God is the Authour and Giver of peace Christ the Prince and promiser of peace the Spirit the worker and sealer of peace and the Gospel the word and ground of peace and the Ministers the Heraulds and Messengers of peace such beleevers as want peace of conscience should strive to have the peace of God to (w) Col. 3.15 rule in their hearts and to beleeve that God will (x) Ps 29.11 Isa 26 12 blesse them with peace and to take heed if God do speake peace to them that they returne not againe to the folly of unbeleife y Ps 85.8 2. For outward peace or peace with the creatures God gives that often to his Saints according to his (z) Is 66.12 Hag 2.9 promise and when they want it yet they have peace in (a) Ioh 16.27 Christ And God so orders and sanctifies their troubles to them that they do receive no (b) Is 11.9 hurt but much (c) 2 Cor 7 4 Rom 5 3 benefit thereby Sixtly It is a holy Covenant Dan. 11.28 30. Luke 1.72 Psal 105.42 Quest Why is it called a holy Covenant A. 1. In respect of the Authour of it The most holy God who is proclaimed by the Seraphims i. e. the Angells (d) Is 6 3 Rev 4 9. it is in two Greek copies nine times holy thrice together holy holy holy And this Covenant God did (e) Ps 60 6. speake in his holinesse and (f) ps 89
world Ob. But where are the Elect called the world in Scripture A. In severall places as 2 Cor. 5.19 God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himselfe not imputing to them their trespasses These cannot be reprobates for he saith their sins are not imputed to them So Ro. 4. 13. for the promise that he should bee heire of the world by the world is here meant the (o) Ro. 4.16 faithfull who are the (p) Gal. 3.29 Luk. 13.16 children of Abraham so Joh. 3.17 God sent not his Son into the world to condemne the world but that the world through him might be saved they that Christ intended to save or really saves cannot be Reprobates Also in Joh. 6.33 For the bread of God is that which commeth downe from beaven and giveth life unto the world Sure Christ doth not give life to all Again Christ promiseth that his Spirit should convince the world of sin Sure this must needs be a (q) This is the judgement of most or all godly Interpreters see Ioh 17.21 which expounds it that the world may beleeve i.e. those of the world that are appointed to beleeve saving conviction and they must needs be the Elect and not Reprobates that are convinced for they are convinced of unbeleefe of their owne and Christs Righteousnesse which I think no Reprobate is convinced of So also the Apostle (r) Heb. 2.5 saith That God hath not put in subjection to the Angels the world to come whereof we speake marke that meaning by the world to come the (s) Or the heirs of salvation Chap. 1.14 Church of the New Testament which hath appointed the Angels to be Ministers unto and not to be Rulers over I might instance in other places where the word world is taken for the Elect as Psal 22.27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turne unto the Lord so the Apostle saith He was beleeved on in the world or as the Greeke will beare it (t) Tim. 3.16 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 See the preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 translated by Mat. 5.34 35. by the world So Joh. 1.29 The Lanb of God which taketh away the sins of the world this must be of the Elect and Beleevers for how doth he take away the sins of Reprobates when they are damned for them Ob. But is it not said God loved the world 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 A. Yes God is said to love the world and that shewes that by the world is not meant all the world for other Scriptures say that God (u) Ps 5.5 11.5 hateth the wicked or reprobate wicked and that God (w) Mal. 1.3 Ro. 9.13 hated Esau God is not capable of loving and hating the same person for that would argue both weaknesse and change which far be it from us to think that either should be in God Ob. But doth God hate any of his creatures A. God doth not hate them as they are his creatures no not the Devils themselves for their being but not their sin is from him but as now by their fall and degenerated condition they have enmity in their natures against him it is just for him to hate them also Ob. But doth not God hate the Elect also before and untill they beleeve A. Oh no he loved them with an (a) Jer. 31.3.2 Tim. 1.9 everlasting love and this love of his was the (b) Eph. 1.4 Ro. 9.11 12 13. cause of their election Ob. Doubtlesse Christ hath taken away the sins of all for be is said to be the propitiation for the sins of the whole world 1 Joh. 2.2 A. 1. The whole world is oft-times in Scripture taken either for a great part and number of the world or for the nations of the world the Gentiles as the Apostle (c) Rom. 1.8 saith The faith of the Romans was spoken of throughout the whole world So (d) Rev. 13.3 all the world wondered after the Beast (e) Mat. 24.14 This Gospell of the Kingdome saith Christ shall be preached in all the world So the Jewes said the whole world is gone after him And the Evangelist saith (f) Luk. 2.1 All the world came to be taxed The Apostle John also saith (g) 1 Joh. 5.19 The whole world lyeth in wickednesse and the (h) Rev. 12.9 devill deceiveth the whole world The whole world in these and such places cannot be understood of all and every one in the world But Secondly That text may be expounded by another which (i) Ro. 3.25 saith That propitiation is through faith in his i.e. in Christs blood And according to these Objectors (k) Vid. A book called The fountaine of Free-grace p. 4. own opinions their sins are not done away nor they pardoned or justified till they doe believe and yet they say all the sinnes of all the world yea the sinne of unbeliefe are washed away in the bloud of Christ This is a Riddle and Paradox how they are done away and yet imputed to men how unbeleefe is washed away and yet men are damned for it Sure they must either be done away (l) Heb. 10.12 perfectly and for ever or not at all And if they be once pardoned they are so far from being imputed againe to men that the Lord (m) Heb. 8.12 saith He will not remember them any more Ob. But some are said to be purged from their old sins which shews that their sinnes were done away and yet they were blinde still A. Purging must here be taken one of these three wayes as it s taken in Scripture 1. For Justification and forgivenesse of sins as Heb. 1.3 and 10.2 Psal 79.9 and 51.7 Or 2. For true and reall Sanctification as Job 15.3 Esa 1.25 Heb. 9.25 Tit. 2.14 Or 3. For an outward and seeming sanctification as Ezek. 24.13 Lev. 12.7 Or as the Apostle (n) Heb. 9.13 speaks a purifying of the flesh If you take purging in either of the two former senses then you must either conclude that those who are truly and really justified and sanctified may be blinde i.e. miserable againe (o) Ro. ◠30 Act. 20.32 contrary to the Scriptures or else that these were not quite blinde or without the knowledge of Christ altogether but that they were Christians who could not see afareff as the Apostles expression is and so this text is understood by some that are most knowing and spirituall But this purging here may rather be understood of an outward and seeming sanctification and holinesse which the Apostle seemes to relate to in the (p) 2 Pet. 2.2 20. next Chapter If saith he after they have escaped the pollutions of the world c. they are againe intangled therein and overcome the latter end is worse with them then the begining These men had indeed a sanctification in shew and they seemed to be made holy by the bloud of Jesus and through the knowledge of him to escape the pollutions of the world but yet
beleeve and turne 5. To preach the Gospell is to open and apply all those great and glorious (r) Eph 3 8. Col 2 2â— mysteries concerning the Father Sonne and Spirit and concerning the Saints happy estate in grace and glory As also how they are to live by faith To teach duties to God and men in a gospel way is to preach the Gospel Re 15.19 with Ac. 20 27. through love in obedience and conformity to their Father and Lord and to perform all duties towards their brethren and those without or the world according to what is written in the Scriptures Obj. But men will have cause to doubt and to be discouraged from beleeving unlesse that they hear that Christ dyed for every man A. It is sufficient to tell men in generall tearms that Christ dyed for sinners for the ungodly for enemies for the rebellious for the world yea for all and every man that will beleeve in him Here is a door wide and open enough Those that preach that Christ died for every man yet preach that none shall be saved but those that beleeve and those that doe not speake so particularly but generally that Christ dyed for simiers yet preach that all that doe beleeve shall be saved which in effect is one and the same and a way free and large enough for any man be he what he will to come in For the word Sinner comprehends all kinde of Sinners what soever And may not a Sinner from hence argue thus If Christ hath dyed for Sinners for the ungodly c. then why not for me for I am a sinner and one that 's ungodly Ob. Oh but the Sinner may say true Sir Christ dyed for sinners and for the ungodly but if he dyed not for all sinners I may be one of those for whom he did not dye A. 1. A Sinner should not object so for he doth but debarre himselfe thereby from partaking of the grace of Christ tendred to him and such an objection is to be looked on as a temptation or arising from the soules grand sinne and Christs great enemy unbeliefe But put the case one should so object yet this is a sufficient ground to resolve him that if he doth beleeve he shall have a part in the death of Christ and be saved Prisoners adjudged to die and having pardons tendred to them doe not question whether those pardons were intended and granted for all in their condition but they upon the first sight and hearing thereof strive and grapple hard to catch hold upon such a pardon even so sinners when pardon of sinnes and salvation is tendred and preached to them they should like Jacob strive to have the blessing or like the women that strove for the childe they should cry It is my pardon My pardon and not Is it for me Is it for me 2. The same objection might have been made by the Jewes when Christ said That (t) Mat. 22.14 many were called but few chosen and that (u) Mat. 7.13 14. many did goe in at the wide gate and few at the narrow also that (w) Luk. 13.24 many should seeke to enter in and should not be able that be (x) Joh. 17.9 prayed nor for the world c. The like objection may be also now made against many expressions in the Apostles writings As that some (y) Eph. 1.4 Were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and others (z) Iud. v. 4. ordained of old to condemnation Q. Whether were the Heires of salvation or the Elect alwayes under the Covenant of grace A. As elect and considered in Christ they were doubtlesse before the foundation of the world and ever since under the Covenant of grace For the Covenant which God made with Christ before the foundation of the world was a Covenant of grace and this Covenant as I shewed before was made with him as he was a Mediatour for and in the behalfe of the heires of salvation And therefore doth the Apostle say That (a) Tit. 1.2 God promised eternall life and (b) 2 Tim. 1.9 gave his grace unto such before the world began Obj. But did not they as well as others sin in Adam and therby ring themselves under the Covenant of workes A. It s true they did (c) Ro 5 12 16 18. sin in Adam and so did deserve to come under the Covenant of works and the curses thereof as well as the damned themselves But yet Gods former Covenant and act of grace made with Christ concerning them stayed and stopped legall proceedings and execution against them And instead of bringing them to a judiciall tryall according to their deserts their sin was transferred and put upon the account of Christ As when the children of a King breake the Statute of their King and Father deserve to be punished as well as any other Subjects yet their faults are remitted and they pardoned upon that ground of relation betweene him and them so that they never come under actually the penalty and execution of that Statute-law which they break Obj. But the Elect by nature and before they doe beleeve are the children of wrath and not the children of God Eph. 2.2 A. 1. It is true that the Elect are the children of wrath by nature as well as others till they doe beleeve But withall it is as true that they are the children of God by grace As Christ was a son of Gods love and an object of his delight in (d) In the confideration of a Sonne Mat 17 5 Joh 3 35 one consideration so hee was both an object and a subject if I may so say of his (e) Ps 88 16 Mat 26.46 wrath in (f) In the consideration of a Surety 2 Cor. 5 21. Gal 3 13 another sense and consideration 2. There is a dstinction and difference to bee made between the state and the persons of men it is undeniably true that the state of nature is a state of wrath but yet the persons in that state I meane the Elect may bee and are persons of love As Absaloms rebellion against his father David was an Act deserving punishment and his state a state of wrath yet his person was still (g) 2 Sam. 18 33. 19.4 affected and loved by David Obj. But it doth not appeare that the Elect are the children of God before they do beleeve A. Yes the Scriptures prove it As for example the (h) By this Prodigall was meant the Gentiles called Publicans and sinners Luke 15.1 Prodigal was a son whilst yet dead and his father so ownes him For this my (i) Luk. 15.24 son saith he was dead and is alive And againe speaking to his eldest son this thy (k) v. 32. brother was dead and is alive So these words applyed to Christ (l) Heb. 2.13 Behold I and the children which God hath given me these Children were the Elect that Christ suffered for and presented
the Law in the perfection and strict demands and conditions of it is to be preached 2. The Law is to be preached when men would absolutely destroy it and to those that would make it null and of none effect As our Saviour said to the Jewes Thinke not that [q] Mat. 5.17 I am come to destroy the Law And as Paul satisfied the Romans that thought he intended by the doctrine of Justification to destroy the Law saying Doe we then [r] Rom. 3.31 make void the Law by Faith God forbid Yea we doe establish the Law 3. The Law is to be preached and taught unto men after they doe beleeve in the mandatory part of it or so farre as it doth teach beleevers their duties towards God and Christ and thus the Apostles in their Epistles did commonly make use of it But observe 1. That the threatnings and curses of the Law are not to be taught at all unto beleevers for they doe not concerne them neither are the curses of the Law to take place upon beleevers or against them at all so as to enthrall or enslave them againe in bondage for in this sence I shewed before that beleevers were not under the Law 2. The Promises of the Law are not to be at all preached to beleevers so as to put them upon expectation of living and being saved thereby for that is granted and pass'd before through grace upon the account of Jesus Christ 3. The duties and commands of the Law are not to be urged upon any other ground then upon that ground which Christ himselfe did urge them which was this [Å¿] John 14.1 5. If ye love me keep my commandements Thus having cleared and ended the second part of this Treatise which treates of the Law now I come to the third and last part which treats of the Promises THE Third PART of this BOOK Treats upon the Promises which belong to the two Covenants Quest WHat did Beleevers obtaine and do you desire to obtaine Answ The fulfilling and inheriting of Gods Promises Heb. 11.33 6.12 Q. What doe you mean by Gods promises A. All the free and conditionall Ingagements of God the Father to Christ or of God and Christ to men which are written in the Scriptures and distinct from Commands and Threatnings Q. Is the word promise alwayes taken in Scripture in that sence A. No Sometimes it is taken for the performance of the promise or for the thing promised Luk. 24.49 Act. 1.4 Heb. 10.36 and 11.39 Q What are you to learne and to observe concerning the Promises that you may obtaine them and partake of them A. Six things Q What are they A. 1 Such Rules as are in the Scriptures for the right and distinct understanding of them 2 To whom they do belong and with whom they are made 3 Why the promises are made and performed 4 How they are and may be divided 5 How to apply them rightly And 6 How to finde suitable promises both direct and indirect promises readily The first thing namely the Rules to understand the Promises Q. WHat are those Rules that you are to observe for the right understanding of the Promises A. 1 That all the promises of God are in themselves true faithfull Yea i.e. true Amen i.e. faithfull and precious and in Christ or through him fulfilled and performed 2 Cor. 1.20 2 Pet. 1.4 2 That a Promise is put for Promises and so on the contrary Gal. 3. 16 18 19 29. compared together 3 That the Promises were spoken and uttered some by a God the Father someby b Jesus Christ some by * Judg. 13.3 18.22 Mat. 1.20 Luke 1.13 20. Gen. 16 10.12 Angels some by c men guided in a special maner therunto by the holy Spirit a Esa 42.1 2 3. Joel 2.28 with Act. 1.4 b Prov. 1.23 Mat. 11.28 29. Joh. 6.27 Lu. 1.13 to 20. c Lam. 3.25 and 3.32 33. 4 That some Promises are Prophesies as well as Promises As for example Gen. 48.19 and 49.10 Num. 24.7 and 18.15.33.27 Esa 2.2 3 4 and 7.14 Psal 66.4 and 72.2 to 18 and 146.10 Esa 40.4 5. Luke 1.67.76 Deut. 33.12.38 5 That some Promises are of the nature of Commands and may bee taken for Commands as well as for Promises as Deut. 12.7.12.18 and 13.11 and 16.15 Judg. 13.5 1 Sam. 9 16. 2 King 17.39 Prov. 4.21 Mat. 22.19 6 Many Scriptures that are as Promises to the godly yet are Threatnings to the wicked as Psal 140.11 Esa 17.4.17 and 24.13 Jer. 6.3 Ezek. 6.10 Amos 3.12 Nah. 2.13 Zeph. 2.9 Mal. 3.5 and 4.3 7 Some Scriptures which are accounted Promises are rather confident sayings and experimentall expressions of the Saints upon severall occasions yet true and proceeding from the Spirit of God in them these are very many See a few for example Josh 23.10 Jud. 5.24 1 Sam. 2.6 to 10. and 2.22 3. Psal 9.9 Eccles 8.12 Esa 17.11.13 and 26.12 Jer. 38.20 Mic. 7.8 9. Nah. 1.7 Rom. 6.14 and 16.20 1 Cor. 1.8 Phil. 1.6 Eph. 4.30 Rev. 15.4 8 Some Promises are made to some concerning others as Gen. 16 12 and 17.16 and 18.10 Num. 11.17 Judg. 12.5 and 13.3.5 1 Sam. 9.16 1 King 21.29 1 Chro. 17.12 and 22.9.10 Luke 1.13 14 15 16. Act. 9.16 Rom 9.12 9. Some Promises are purely legall and conditionall such are * See Luther on Gal. 2.18 all the Promises of the Law See Lev. 18.5 Ezek 18.21 and 20.11 Deut. 5.33 Luke 11.28 Rom. 10.5 10 Some Promises are free absolute and without condition and these are purely Evangelicall as the Promises of giving Christ of giving the Spirit of giving a new heart c. See Esa 42.6 and 49.8 Joel 2.28 Ezek. 36.26 Jer. 32.40 Heb. 8.10 11 12. 11 Some Promises are partly free and partly conditionall as Esa 55.1 Joh. 6.37 and 7.37.38 12 Some Promises are free in one place and conditionall in another as Esa 6.7 Heb 8.11 compared with Lev. 26.3.12 Jer. 24.7 with 7.23 13. Some Promises in the Old Testament are Commands virtually in the New Testament as Esa 42.7 and 49.6 with Act. 13.46 14 That Promises made in the Old Testament are cited in the New Testament especially when they are fulfilled as Esa 43.3 with Luke 3.5 See Act. 2.39 and 3.26 and 7.37 and 13.38 and 15.15 16 Rom 9.15.33 and 11.26 1 Cor. 3.8 and 2.6.16.18 Gal. 3.8 15 Some Promises are already perfectly fulfilled as those concerning the Incarnation Death and Resurrection of Christ with many others 16 Some Promises are fulfilled in part but not wholly as Esa 2. Mich. 5.
