Likewise some directions for, and concerning Christian magistrates. In the opening some instructions arising from the Apostles exhortation to Timothy, 1 Tim. 2.1, 2.

adoption of children but that done in Christ that this might be done was done for all them that were under the Law and who those are see Rom. 3. 19. though under it as a testament all Covenant were only all Israel after the flesh yet under the condemnation penalty and curse of it and so by it declared and concluded were all the world for what the Law saith it saith to them that are under the Law that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God By one man sinne entred into the world and Death by Sinne for that all have sinned Rom. 5. 12. Compare that with ver 18. As the disobedience of one was unto or upon all in the first publique man to condemnation so the righteousnnesse of one is unto or upon all in the second publique man unto justification of life his one righteousnesse hath so prevailed with the Father that he is justified in the nature and roome of all That one dyed for all is accepted with the Father as if all had dyed 2 Cor. 5. 14. that they might live and to that end live that after this Grace appeares they might not henceforth live to themselves but to him that dyed for them and rose againe 2 Cor. 5. 15. So that in Jesus the second publick Person the whole nature is delivered from the first condemnation and judgement The truth and verity of which is proved in that Rom. 5. 19. from this reason For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners namely in their particular persons and that is so many as ever came to have being from him even from the beginning verse 13 14 which fully shews That that offence was unto or upon the whole nature in him as the publick Man to condemnation before any of the individuals had their particular beings from him seeing there needs no other work or medium on their part but deriving beings from him to make them sinners in their own persons Even so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous even in their particular persons by way of imputation and application of the Righteousnesse of another to them Rom. 3. 22. 4. 3 4. And that is so many as receive that abundance of grace testified in that already done in Christ for men and that gift of righteousnesse by faith verse 17. and so come to have being in him in beleeving on his name That Righteousnesse that is unto All it comes upon All that beleeve even in their particulars which fully shews that one Righteousnesse was unto or upon the whole nature of man as men considered in him the second publick Man to the justification of life while all were out of him seeing there needs no other work or medium on their part no discovery or receite of any peculiar grace or gift of grace for them while sinners and enemies that was not for others nor any thing else is requisite for any one of this nature of man to make them righteous in their particulars but a receiving by faith that true in Christ for and towards them as men and sinners with the rest even that abundance of grace that love of God to Manward Tit. 3. 4. Rom. 5. 6 8. and that gift of righteousnesse The Son of God sent the Saviour of the world Joh. 3. 16. and 4. 14. Therein they are made righteous by the imputation and application of the righteousnes of another to them By him all that beleeve are therein through his name justified from all from which they could not be justified by the Law of Moses Act. 10. 43. 13. 39. which shews the truth of Justification Righteousnesse perfect in him for them as men and sinners considered that so in beleeving in him without the works of the Law or any other medium it might be received by any of that nature the whole nature is justified and acquit of that first disobedience and so of the guilt or condemnation of that sinfulnes in them as meerly and necessarily derived from it In that he in the common nature and in the room of them all as the second publick man is justified for them In his Resurrection he was taken from the prison and from the judgement Isa 53 8. And this so verily and vertu●lly for them all That the Father now judgeth no man but hath committed all judgement to the Son Joh. 5. 22. He doth not go to Law or proceed to Judgement with men according to that Law and Judgement by which without a Saviour they stood as condemned before him under which Christ was made for them Though men still according to his Ordinance passe through the first mortality and death as the fruit of sin yet not as the due and proper wages thereof and therefore shall not perish in that death he having taken out the sting and poyson that would have made it destructrive by his coming and passing through it and so abolished it 2 Tim. 1. 10. nor according to that Judgement The truth of which appears not onely in these serious and full Assertions of it but likewise by divers arguments or reasons used by the Scripture to evince it As First The nature of all present and eternal condemnations in the Scripture They are not because the fathers have eaten sowr grapes and the childrens teeth are thereby necessarily set on edge but every one for his own proper iniquity Ezek. 18. 2-4 no man condemned or abiding under the wrath of God for present or shall be eternally condemned meerly because he was simple or in darknesse or because he was filthy and poluted but because he loved his simplicity when the wisdome of God was oft and long reproving him Prov. 1. 22 23 24. c. When light came they loved darknesse rather Joh. 3. 19. Because in thy filthinesse was lewdnesse or stubbornesse and that thus evidenced and of this nature I have purged thee and thou wast not purged Ezek. 24 13. They hardened their own hearts wilfully when he spake in his Spirit by the hand of the Prophets Therefore came there a great wrath upon them from the Lord Zech. 7. 9. 11 12. And this could not have been the nature of condemnations present or eternall neither had the world been capable of sinning sins of that nature as for which they are now charged and under condemnation if Christ had not done for them the things mentioned in this Text given himself a Ransome for them and become a Mediator and by vertue thereof a Testimony in due time unto them See our Saviour so reasoning Joh. 15. 22. 24. If he had not done that for them which never man did or could do namely redeem his brother or give to God a Ransome for his soul Psal 49. 7. yea if also he had not spoken to them preached by his Spirit to their spirits in the means he used They had not known or been capable of sins after this consideration as now they are charged on them

forgoten that he was purged from his old sins 2 Pet. 1. 11. In abiding and walking in Jesus Christ as we have received him we shall grow more rooted in him and built upon him established in the faith as we have been taught abounding therein with thanksgiving Col. 2. 6 7. For being justified by faith of what Jesus Christ hath done and is become in himself for us by being delivered to death for our offences and raised again from the dead for our justification and so having peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ we have also by him through the same faith in him according to his name dayly more access into that grace of God to manward appearing in and through that gift of Righteousness which was that grace in which they stood so as to be made able to comprehend with all Saints what is the height length depth and breadth of that love that passeth knowledge and more to prove and taste the sweetness and vertues of it and so through it to rejoyce in hope of the glory of God and not onely so but to rejoyce in tribulations also meeting with this knowledge and proof of the truth of it in having dayly access or inlet into that grace That tribulation works patience and patience experience and experience hope and hope makes not ashamed and all from hence the love of God being shed abroad in our hearts while we have our recourse and access thereinto by a believing mindefulness thereof in all things the same is more displayed and opened to us by the holy Ghost which is given unto us still further reminding us of and opening to us this testimony of Jesus That when we were yet without strength in due time Christ died for the ungodly Rom 4. 24. with chap. 5. 1 6. Therefore saith our Saviour If ye abide in me and my words in you continue in my love keeping my Commands c. ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you for thereby you shall be taught to pray as you ought Rom. 8. 26. for nothing but according to his will 1 John 5. 13 15. and for that without wrath or doubting 1 Tim. 2. 1 8. Yea and ye shall bring forth much fruit and herein is my Father glorified John 15. 1 6 8 11. And this leads us to the next 2. The believers leading a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty tends very much to the adorning the name and doctrine of God our Saviour and to the manifesting the truth and goodness of his Gospel and Way before them Hence that is one great end propounded to move Servants to such demeanor towards their Masters and every Soul to the higher powers and so all Christians in their several places towards one another and towards all men as is according to godliness and honesty Even as that grace of God that brings salvation to all men teacheth That the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed 1 Tim. 6. 1. That they may adorne the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things Tit. 2. 10. That ye may be blameless harmless the Sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked generation amongst whom shine ye as lights in the world holding forth the word of life Phil. 2. 15 16. And that so as men seeing your good works may glorifie your Father the Gentiles in the day of their visitation may glorifie God Mat. 5. 13 16. 1 Pet. 2. 12. And this general councel a full direction in every case Onely let your conversation be such as becometh the Gospel Phil. 1. 27. For a little demonstration hereof see it in some particulars 1. The believer in all godliness and honesty living under Government being subject to the higher Powers as ordained of God over him yea though there be no such justice or righteousness issuing from them as he could desire as well as in other parts of such demeanor as is forementioned he declares plainly to others thereby That the grace of God in Christ instructs and leads to such high esteem of the infinite wisdom goodness and faithfulness of God that hath not spared his own Son but delivered him up to death for us all and that in due time and to such assurance that the same wisdom goodness truth and faithfulness is exercised in all his orderings and dispensations towards us according to that standing testimony of it in his Son whom he hath given to be a continual witness of his love and glory in the exercise of all his holy attributes for our good in all his dealings with and about us and in ordering to us mercies and chastisements that though by sence in most particular matters at present it be not so discernable yet by faith in him we may be helped to keep such right judgement at all times and from such right judgement taught and strengthened to all things through him and so for the Lords sake that hath done so much for us willingly submit to any Power or Ordinance of men that God by his providence orders over us and that either in doing or suffering so as in the Lord as judging that place and condition of servitude and under such a master or power to be at the present the best for us most seasonable for the accomplishing of Gods will in either mercy or chastisement for our good And seeing his will is good and acceptable towards us in both as manifested in his Son that grace instructs not to be solicitous or hastily inquisitive to know whether for one or for another it be so ordered yet quietly to wait for that also that as he is by grace enabled to understand or perceive it so he may receive and minde others of the instruction suitably in it considering that it is the great Master of us and them that is in Heaven yea it 's he that gave his Son to the death for us and now governs all things by his word and in the same exercise of wisdom grace and faithfulness in and through his Son that hath ordered to us such an inferiour Master or Government and us to such place of subjection Hence in those particular exhortations as to this matter we are so oft exhorted to do the honour and service and yeild the subjection to them as to the Lord the great Master that hath so ordered them over us to be submitted to by us and not as to men or as men-pleasers kowing that it 's he that pulls down and sets up at his pleasure And for this cause to pay tribute also for they are Gods Ministers Servants and Instruments permitted and ordered over us by him attending continually upon this very thing render therefore to all their dues c. as unto the Lord and so in submission and reverence to the great Master in Heaven Rom. 13. 5 6 7. Eph. 6. 6 7 8. Col. 3. 22 23. 1 Pet. 2. 13 14. hallowing his name 2. Herein also as likewise in those
