lurch And make thy self a servant of righteousness binde thy self to it not to the grave like stinking menstruous rags of sin for otherwise thy wages is set here down determinative say the Schools i. e. death which is indeed ultima linea rerum the determination and period of all our natural dayes whereas the reward of others is eternall life the duration if I may so call it and why not of a day without a night Whence S. Rev. 21.22 23. Exp. Ps 84.6 John most Divinely sets forth his heavenly Temple The path-way to it is the street of the Citie of pure Gold not the vally of Baca as it were transparent glass Ecce puritatem claritatem And I saw no Temple therein Hic Ecce Theologum the word of God sine Templo in vitâ aeternâ and the vail of the Temple here rent at his death And I would I might not justly take up the same complaint I have a people or Congregation But my Temple as Jerusalem was the Wall of it burn't down Neh. 1.3 I wish I might not say by a perfidious brother and the Gates thereof were burn't with fire Exp. for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple he that was on earth the sacrifice agnus ille mactatus And the Citie had no need of the Sun neither of the Moon to shine in it for the glorie of God did lighten it and the Lamb is the light thereof In the pacifical Prophet we read of the Lion and the Lamb lying down together but here he who was the Lion of the Tribe of Judah now the Lamb of God fits alone Col. 3.1 Ecce Solstitium perpetuim solis Juscitiae● Christ the Sun of righteousness sits Exp. in praesenti implicat aeternitatem at the right hand of God Mal. 4.3 Never again to descend with healing in his wings till that general day of doom When he shall change our vile body Phil 3.21 Exp. that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body similitudinem non paritatem aut aequalitatem according to the working no more passion Exp. but action onely whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself Let not sin then or therefore reign in your mortal body Rom. 6.12 Exp. as the Apostle speaks least it as another Haman exalted swelling with pride even against Mordecai's humility that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof neither yield your Members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin the former against thy Neighbour the latter against thy God but yield your selves unto God as those that are alive from the dead and your Members as instruments of righteousness unto God 2. Use Is none but that of S. Hierom. That men would not aspire too high in this sinfull World but be content with that lot which is cast into the lap It may be it is not so good for them to be high the power they have being abused may make them the more servants unto sin As it did Haman in his cruel design against Gods people the Jews Esth 7.4 Exp. if God had not appointed Esther to prevent it Who boldly delivers her message as to God Ecce virilitatem 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sexus imo foeminini For we are sold I and my people to be destroyed Exp. I whom thou hast chosen as an instrument to increase and enliven thy own to be slain secundum corpus and to perish as our enemies think secundum animam This I take to be the meaning of the holy Ghost here But if we had been sold for bond-men and bond-women I had held my tongue an admirable Rhetorical insinuation although the enemy could not countervail the Kings dammage If men then will be no more in slavery then they are let them content themselves with those lower places which are freest from the commission of sins I speak not this to bite or back-bite but to caution any authority Occasio facit furem The higher the place the more occasion is offered unto sin and our corrupt nature as Children about this time on sweet and gilded Marchpans is apt enough to lay hold of it I le end this use with the words of the forenamed Father do not repine in thy low or so servile citate for Satis est potens sayes he qui servire non cogitur For thus thou art high and powerfull enough in that thou art not so much in service to or under the dominion of sin Thus much for the uses of the first doctrine I hasten now to the second part of the Text which is the Wages of sin particularly specified in this word death The Wages of sin is death And here before we proceed any further I pray note the earnestness of the Apostle in the following of this argument he was very loath to leave it being so enforceable to them Why was it not enough once to tell them so Vers 21 as he doth in the end of the 21. verse The end of these things is death No non frustra aliis verbis idem iterum repetit sed terrore duplicato magis detestabile reddere peccatum voluit Jo. Calv. It is Mr. Calvins note upon the Text. If the first reason would not serve he repeats it again in other words that by often inculcating he might make the sin the more odious to them He speaks it the more urgently that as Children with their lesson if they will not learn at first by often reciting it he would even beat it into their heads So then the second Doctrine we may gather from the words without any wresting of them are no other but the words themselves Doct. The Wages of sin is death and that three wayes All which before I insist on receive a modern recapitulation of my foregoing discourse D. F●a●ly Sin eclipseth the light of the understanding disordereth the desires of the Will weakneth the faculties of the Soul distempereth the Organs of our body disturbeth the peace of our conscience choaketh the motions of the spirit in us killeth the fruits of grace enthralleth the Soul of the body and the body and Soul to Satan Lastly it depriveth us of the comfortable fruition of all temporal and if continued in of the fruition possession of all eternal blessings First The first is a death unto grace which sin causes in regard of the absence of grace altogether or in respect of the suspersion of the acts of grace for some certain time which is plainly proved in that Epistle to the Ephesians in two places where the Apostle especially opposeth living in grace Eph. 2. Zanch. or by it and death in sin i.e. death to grace so it is in the first verse And you hath he quick'ned who were dead in trespasses and sins Exp. loci It was time for S. Paul to praefix a conjunction copulative since sin had made such a separation Quick'ned is raised from death or restores unto life ex

Pauls temper and constitution finding a Law in my Members rebelling against the Law of my minde Rom. 7. Let me never be a secure owner of my worldly goods neither well can I since thou in thy goodness hast taken them wife and all from me Yea Lord let them appear as they are Transitory uncertain that I may not repute them to be my goods Let Theeves strip me let crosses distress me as I thank thee I am Christianus quia Crucianus though I lose yet I shall gain and prosper best when I do not prosper Death that must come shall never be unwelcom yea the remembrance of it shall be my greatest comfort it shall never finde me but willing to leave what I never did injoy or joy in And happy shall I account that hour that shall take me out of the World when it takes as it hath done I thank God for five moneths together the World from me because we never were well at one Yea I had almost said she which once lay in my bosom and therefore shall not fear to be at odds The World is crucified to me and I unto the World Death shall take no pains in parting our association which shall finde us before hand parted in affection Let death be bitter unto others to me it shall be sweet when it pleaseth God to send it And I will God-willing and assisting prepare my self by a timely thinking of it Praemonitus praemunitus so shall I never be uncomfortably surprized by it in regard of my body And with holy Stephen notwithstanding all the stony hearts of these times I shall call upon God saying Acts 7.39 Lord Jesus receive my spirit Amen 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 P.
