his pasture the Oxen of his crib the Babes of his Nursery what then can bee more comfortable Doth God take care for Oxen 1 Cor. 9.9 Is a good man mercifull to his beast Was Iacob so carefull of his flock as not to over-drive it and shall not God bee much more carefull of us Yea surely if wee make it but our care to be his Lambs and Kids he will make it his care 1. To protect us to take us out of the paw of the Lyon and of the Beare to deliver us as he did S. Paul out of the mouth of the Lyon so farre as that deliverance conduceth to our eternall good 2. To provide for us Hee giveth fodder unto his cattell Hee muzleth not the mouth of the Oxe Hee can first feed us by Ravens and then feede the Ravens that call upon him Hee will feede his Sheepe and his Lambes both with daylie bread for our bodies and spirituall Manna for our soules 3. To save us Hee will both set the Goates on his left hand and the Sheepe Lambs Kids on his right The end of the second Sermon THE TRUE EUANGELICAL TEMPER The third Sermon ESAY 11.6 7 8. The Wolfe shall dwell with the Lamb and the Leopard shall lie down with the Kid c. THe Text at the first was tripartited and two of those parts are already handled to wit the seven nocent Creatures in the first Ser. and the 7. innocent in the last There now remaines to bee spoken too in this the third and last generall part which is the concord and agreement of these most divers yea adverse parties the Wolfe with the Lamb the Leopard with the Kid c. It was cautioned in the Law not to yoake an Oxe and an Asse together a and the Gospell too bids us not bee unequally yoaked b but what is it to bee unproportionably yoaked if this bee not a Lamb to a Wolfe c. And it is yet more strange if with Hierome Rupertus and others wee observe that this accord is not made by way of the retrograde motion as Crabs swim backward as if the Lamb should degenerate and goe dwell with the Wolfe or the Kid goe lye downe with the Leopard so forsaking their owne righteousness and taking up others vices But it is the regular and straight course of regeneration the Wolfe turning Lambe and the Leopard turning Kid Craft and Cruelty being the termes from which and simplicity and innocency the termes to which of this Conversion But most remarkable of all is it to consider the full and perfect expression of this their reconciliation and atonement which is a graduall expression growing up to the height of its emphasis by foure steps The first is that they shall dwell together not under one Canopie or under one elevation of the Pole but under one house and roofe And if it were no more this wants no waight of significancy of it selfe for cohabitation containes in it all the offices of matrimoniall dearnesse And S. Peter requires no more of Husband and Wife but that they be c dwellers together or housed together as the word imports The second is that they lye downe together A further degree of neereness To have one bed is more then to be in one house under one covering more then to bee under one roofe Can two walke together except they bee friends is the question Amos 3.3 but lye downe together sure they cannot especially so neere as one to keepe another warme Eccles. 4.10 The third is to feed and eate together Another degree of vicinity and neerenesse Therefore the Law when it separates one from close and familiar accesses to another severs à mensa as well as à thoro both from board and bed Nathan therefore expressing in his parable of Davids conviction the neere approaches of Wedlock saith it did eate of his owne meate and drank of his owne cup and lay in his owne bosome 2 Sam. 12.3 Loe there is mensa and thorus board and bed together againe And David said the like to Mephibosheth Thou shalt eate bread at mine own table when he would shew him the utmost of kindnesse 2 Sam. 9.7 The fourth is that they play and sport together A thing so true a symbole of deerenesse and alwaies so connate thereunto that Abimelech in the d book of Genesis looking out of a window and seeing Isaac sporting with Rebecca concluded thereupon she was surely his Wife Which thing also Zorobabel in the Apocryphall Esdras e thus expresseth I saw saith he Apame the Kings Concubine the daughter of the noble Bartacus sitting at the right hand of the King and taking the Crowne from his head and setting it upon her owne head shee also stroke the King with her left hand and yet for all this the King gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth if she laughed upon him he laughed also but if she tooke any displeasure at him the King was faine to flatter that she might be reconciled to him againe These are the foure degrees to make up this one entire union and accord And now the way is opened for the third and last Conclusion which is this It is a disposition and temper truly Euangelicall and savouring of Christ to be peaceable and reconcileable and that in all the severall approaches of love and union Or thus The Gospel is a true cause of peace and peace is a true effect of the Gospell Or thus The Messias where he is Monarchicall and rules is also Eirenarchicall and atones Christ Jesus is the true Augustus of the world and the Scepter of his Kingdome as it is a righteous so is it also a peaceable Scepter wheresoever whensover he is known and obeyed there then he doth by his Word and Spirit waste and take away all hatreds enmities and antipathies and makes Wolves and Lambs Leopards and Kids Lyons whelps and Calves Beares and Kine Lyons and Oxen Asps and young Children for thus the Text conjugates them dwell together lie down together eate together and play together that is have friendly and mutuall entercourse of affections actions customes habits Therefore is he called in his type Melchisedech King of Salem f which the Apostle renders g King of peace Therefore also Solomon was another type of him Solomon I say in whose daies abundance of peace flourished not David a man of War and blood Therefore again was he born under the raigne of peaceable Augustus who enjoyed such cessation of warre that he shut the gates of Ianus Temple and brought together all the world to be taxed His natalitiall hymne was sung not by a regiment of souldiers but by a Chore of Angels The Dity of that hymne or Caroll Peace on earth The tidings of his birth brought not to cavalliers but to quiet and simple Shepherds The time of the revelation of it in the night season a time of silence and rest His style A Prince of Peace h His
