of the disposition of Christians a little before this Kingdom shall be made the praise of the Earth Now mark what those do desire that shall live a little before these times In the 24. vers I said O my God take me not away in the midst of my days As if he should have said O Lord I hope that e're long thou wilt build up Zion and appear in thy glory and fulfill thy promises concerning Jerusalem O Lord take me not away in the midst of my days It is I say a Prophetical Prayer of the Christians that shall live a little before Gods building up of Zion But you will say Why shall any desire to live for if one should die if he be Godly he shall go to Heaven and will it not be as good to be in Heaven as to live to see Jerusalem the praise of the Earth To that I answer that though it 's true It will be as good for the Soul but for Soul and Body to live here to see that glorious administration of God in the World to see God honoured upon the Earth where he hath been so much dishonoured certainly it cannot but be an abundant satisfaction and contentment to those that are gracious and that it is desirable notwithstanding the objection I make it clearly thus from the promise that God gave to Children that did obey their Parents in the fifth Commandment Honour thy Father and thy Mother why That thy days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee God makes a promise that they should enjoy the Land of Canaan And why Godly Children should go to Heaven if they had died But it was accounted a mercy to live long in the Land of Canaan Now the Land of Canaan was but a Type of the glorious Church so that this is a more glorious promise Therefore I say it is desirable to live to see what God intends to do in these Concussions It is observ'd by some that John did never fall down to worship the Angel but twice and twice he fell down and worshipped the Angel But you shall observe it if you examine the places It was when the Angel brought him the tidings of this glorious Jerusalem and Johns heart was so taken with these tidings as indeed he forgets himself so far as to fall down and worship the Angel which was sinful but I note it for this end to shew how mightily the heart of John was taken with the tidings of this new Jerusalem And God expects that though we have but a glimpse of it now yet that our hearts should be much taken with the tidings of this glorious Jerusalem when it shall be made the praise of the Earth Christ hath humbled himself in this world and hath been dishonoured here and therefore the Father will advance him and honour him in this World as well as in Heaven And the Heathen and uttermost parts of the Earth are given to Christ for a possession but Christ hath not had it yet and therefore let us strengthen our Faith and joyfully expect such a time as this is Those whose hearts are carnal and sensual they mind only carnal and sensual things and cannot believe these things but such as have Faith to believe they are able to rejoyce in the Expectation of this glory that is to be revealed Fourthly These truths that have been delivered about this glory of the new Jerusalem they call for heavenly hearts they call off all our hearts from the Earth why should we have our hearts groveling upon the Earth when as God hath revealed such glorious things as these are In the 60. of Isa v. 1. Arise shine for thy Light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee I may make use of it at least by way of Allusion thus O arise and shine in heavenliness and shake off the dust of this Earth for here you hear of the glory of this Lord and who knows but it may very suddenly within a little time arise upon us yet the very hearing of it were enough to cause us to shake off all Earthliness from our Spirits when John was shown the new Jerusalem he was carryed up upon the mountain so if we would understand the glory of this Jerusalem we must get up our hearts on high It is an Observation of Mr. Brightman upon the 4 th of Revel Where we have described the four living Creatures the Lyon the Oxe the Man and the Eagle Now saith he these four living Creatures do set forth the four Estates of the Church The Lyon sets forth the state of the Church in the Primitive times they had Lyon-like Spirits that were able to encounter the rage of persecuting Emperors to endure all kind of Torment without having their hearts daunted at all The second State of the Church was the Oxe that is Antichrist prevailing they were as an Oxe that is a heavy and dull Creature fit to bear burthens But then the third is the Man that is a man comes to inquire after the reason of things and to understand things and doth desire liberty Why now saith he in the beginning of the Reformation the state of the Church was like a Man They would not be under such base Thraldom to take the yoke of Antichrist as they did before before they were lead like beasts but now they were as Men they would understand what they did And then the fourth was like an Eagle that is soaring aloft on high When the Church shall be in this glorious condition Men shall be of Heavenly minds they shall soar up like the Eagle to be above the Earth And certainly such dispositions are fit for this new Jerusalem and though it be not yet come yet we should labour to be of such dispositions as are fit for it And that 's the fifth Use To prepare for these times fit our selves First By the Wedding Garment for now comes the Bridegroom and we should prepare for him by the Wedding Garment You will say What is the Wedding Garment by which the Saints are prepared to meet with Christ The applying of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ by Faith that 's the Wedding-Garment when Christians come to understand clearly the point of Justification without mistake There are some kind of hastenings about it in these times more than before and inquiring after the very grace of God in the point of Justification but certainly that point is darkened much by many errors But now the clear understanding the point of Justification of Gods Righteousness applyed by Faith this is the Garment by which we are to meet with Jesus Christ when he shall appear in his glory and I verily believe that in the time of the new Jerusalem the point of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ will be the main point of Religion that then will be known and that the hearts of the Saints will be taken up withall the main point of Religion and as we
