and in his graue and to doe this is al the difficultie And be satisfied Third property is ioy and peace and quietnes or conscience when a man is assured of the pardon of his sinnes through faith a man knoweth that God loueth him and doth accept of his person and watcheth ouer him to doe him good hee knoweth that he is freed from death and damnation through the redemption of Christ that life euerlasting appertaineth to him vnder hope whereof he reioyceth yea in the midst of affliction though somtime this peace bee disturbed thorough some sins wherin to the children of God fall through temptation this is termed here satisfying not for that a man that hath it neuer desireth grace more but because nothing in the world can satisfie him til he haue comfort in the assurāce of his sins pardoned when a man is once throughly humbled or because a man neuer is barren and drie and cleane void of grace and comfort after that once hath it Fourth propertie is desire of increase of grace Seeke after the Lord. which is obtained by seeking the Lord where and howe he is to be found that is in the word and the meanes of grace for he that wanteth grace can neuer desire it onely he that hath it and hath felt the sweetnes of it longeth for it still like vnto the man that finding the treasure hid in the field and the pearle neuer resteth till he get both by this also a man may knowe the trueth of grace in his soule for he that neuer regardeth the word neuer attēdeth vpon instruction nor watcheth to praier that man wanteth grace for the heauēly couetousnesse and dropsie of grace is insatiable and therefore the Church is sicke of loue vnto the Lord Iesus Christ in the Canticles A fifth propertie is the leading of a godly life according to gods commaundements Shall praise him with a constant profession confession of the trueth to the praise of God that others may see our good works and glorifie God also Also a thankefull heart whereby a man in himselfe blesseth God for all his goodnes saying with the Prophet All that is within me praise his holy name Euerlasting life is the last propertie Your 〈◊〉 shall liue for euer which is the reward of all the former and which is the complement of our happinesse and felicitie After the description of the subiects of Christs kingdome by their properties follow the seuerall sorts of them Gentiles as wel as Iews poore as well as rich malefactors condemned to die as well as guiltlesse persons the childrē as well as the parents Yea and the kingdome of Christ consisteth of all other sortes of persons that may be rehearsed as bond and free mā woman master and seruāt c. Generally hence may be noted two instructions First wherefore the church is called Catholike because it cōsisteth of al sorts of persons it is in al places it is at al times v. 27.29.30 31. V. 29. All that be fatt all that goe downe into the pitt Secondly that grace is vniuersall no sort or estate of men excluded form Christs kingdom ethe poore haue intrest to grace and Christ aswell as the rich the gentill aswell as the Iewe women aswell as men yet wee must knowe that the note of vniversality must not be stretcht to euery particular man but to euery estate and condition of man For it is more then grosse absurdity to say that all and euery particular rich mā and poore man shall bee a member of Christ shall eate and worship that is beleeue and serue God wherefore this doctrine serueth to admonish first the welthie and fatt men of the earth not to contemne and despise the poore and the leane needie soule and the poore not to enuie the rich and malice the wealthie but both to serue togither in their places and to preserue the communion of saints mutually remembering the Apostles rule Iam. 1.9.10 that the poore is exalted and the rich is made lowe in Iesus Christ that though the rich be the poore mans masters yet he is Christs seruant and though the poore man be the rich mans slaue yet he is the sonne of God and fellow heire with him and with Christ of the kingdome of grace and glory Besides these generall instructions certaine particular obseruations also are here to be noted which followe The Prophet saith Vers 27. The ends of the world The kindreds of the nations that the Gentiles shal become subiects to Christs kingdome which prophecie we see verified amongest vs at this day wherevpon we are to be stirred vp to glorifie the mercie truth of God who hath cast off his owne people and receiued vs that were wilde branches of the wilde oliue that were strangers and aliants from the common wealth of Israel without God in the world which must also teach vs not to be hie minded but to feare and looke to our selues that we stand fast Againe the conuersion of the Gentiles is here noted out vnto vs in the 3. parts thereof 1 They shall remember themselues Shall remember that is their sinfull and accursed estate they shall take notice of it by the powerfull preaching of the Gospell humiliation Turne to the Lord. 2 They shall turne to the lord forsaking their false way of Idolatry and other sinnes and turning their feet into the truth walking in obedience of Gods lawes obedience 3 They shall worship before God Worship before thee by partaking al the meanes of saluation as the word prayer sacraments c. publikely and priuately as good christians adoration Va● Kingdome i● the Lords Nowe because this may seeme a very staunge thing to the Iewes that the gentiles should be admitted into the fellowship of the Church the partition wall beeing broken downe one people beeing made of two the prophet rendreth a reason hereof designing out the principall worker of this conuersion of the gentiles and the meanes the workman is the Lord who is able to raise vp children vnto Abraham euen of the stones who is able to put life into the dead bones in the Church-yard and the meanes whereby God will effect and bring to passe this great worke is his rule and dominion which hee exerciseth among the nations He ruleth among the nation by his word and spirit which breatheth where it listeth whence that doctrine may be noted that was handled before v. 3. that conuersion is Gods worke Furthermore not only we that now liue Vers 10. Their seed shal serue him c. but euē our seed posterty that shal succeed vs in time to come shall serue the Lord for the Couenant of grace stretcheth not onely to vs but to our seede also euen to the thousand generation on of them that loue God doth the Lord promise mercie and the promise is made to vs and our children and to all that are afarre off euen to as many as
