A80141	A discourse of the true gospel blessedness in the New Covenant, or The distinction of the two Covenants, new and old, first and second. With the doing away of the first, and the establishment of the second, and likewise the mediatorship of Christ in the New Covenant, with some principles, duties, promises, and priviledges of the New Covenant. A useful companion for all saints at all times. / Written by Tho. Collier.	Collier, Thomas, fl. 1691.	1659 (1659)	Wing C5277; Thomason E1801_2; ESTC R35633	88,221	142

justifying sanctifying preserving comforting and glorifying grace Grace and glory and no good thing will be withheld from his People 4 I come now to the fourth particular proposed to wit the place where Jesus Christ mediates for his people and that is in heaven whither he ascended when he was taken up Act. 1. 10 11. A truth of special concernment for Saints to be established in for lose the place and lose the person and work and all at once A great cheat of the adversary at this day that perswades poor People of such a heaven and Christ within them as to deny and gain-say Christ and heaven above and pretend a supposition that if Christ be personally in heaven and by his Spirit in his people it must necessarily make two Christs But this is a truth and it concerns all true believers that expect salvation by Jesus Christ to believe and know That according to the Scriptures Jesus Christ is in heaven at the right hand of God in the work of mediatorship Angels and Principalities and Powers being made subject to him 1 Pet. 3. ●2 Heb. 4. 14. Seeing then that we have a great high Priest who is passed into the beavens Jesus the Son of God c. chap. 9. 24. Christ is entred into heaven it self now to appear in the presence of God for us Rom. 8. 33 34. It is God that justifieth c. It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is at the right hand of God who also maketh intercession for us Thus you see its clear from the word of truth which I believe above all the fancies of men on earth That Jesus Christ is in heaven at the right hand of God in the great work of mediatorship He is said to be ascended up far above all heavens Ephes 4. 10. that is above all the known heavens that are seen with the eye or understood in their motions by skill and Art of natural wise men called therefore the third heaven 2 Cor. 12. 2. but I shall conclude this with Heb. 8. 1. We have such an high Priest who is sate on the right hand of the Throne of the majesty in the heavens And there it is he mediates and thither let the Saints look and there let their hearts and affections be Col. 3. 1. 2. 5 I shall pass to the fifth particular proposed viz. the manner how Jesus Christ performs this work of mediatorship and that is 1 By his bloud as he was a sacrifice 2 Vocally by word as he is a Priest and Son 3 Faithfully and tenderly 4 Powerfully and prevailingly 5 Particularly and distinctly for all Saints for all wants 6 Constantly to the end 1 Christ mediates with his bloud as he was a sacrifice for when he was on earth he offered up himself a sacrifice for the sin of sinners He then performed the Priestly work in offering himself but having offered up himself a sacrifice he is gone into heaven and makes good that sacrifice there The high Priest was a type of this in entring into the holy place and that not without bloud Christ is entred with his own bloud into heaven it self there to appear in the presence of God for us Heb. 9. 23. 24. And by his blood he mediates that is clear by the words immediately following my Text. Heb. 12. 24. And to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel The blood of Christ pleads for the Lords people it was shed for them and therefore it pleads for them better things then that of Abel Abels blood cried for venvengeance but the blood of Christ crieth for mercy for poor sinners for the giving down the good things of the Covenant for which it was shed 2. He mediates vocally in behalf of his people He prayes for them as a son as a high priest that is the son of God consecrated for evermore And that Christ doth so will appear 1. From scripture 2. From reasons grounded upon Scripture 1. From Scripture the words of Christ are full and plain in this matter John 14. 16. I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter c. Here is Christs promise at his departure that he will pray c. And this is further clear chap. 16. 7. If I go not away the comforter will not come but if I go I will send him c. that is I will pray the Father and he shall send him Obj. Christ saith chap. 16. 26. And I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you c. by this it seems that Christ will not pray vocally for his people in heaven Answ This being rightly understood no whit derogates from the truth in hand or the former promise of Christ that he would pray the Father for his people when he came to heaven but rather confirms the truth thereof it being usual in the holy Scriptures that when any thing of special concernment follows that which goes before is exprest with a not not to deny the thing but to confirm the truth and excellency of that which in that saying is most especially intended and yet that which is brought in with a not is as fully true as the other Instances are John 6. 27. Labour not for the meat that perisheth but for that meat which endureth to eternal life Doth Christ in this place forbid labour for the meat which perisheth no doubtless for it was given as a law afterwards that such as would not work should not eat and idleness is forbidden in all therefore that we are to understand is Labor not onely or chiefly for the meat which perisheth So 1 Cor. 1. 17. Paul saith I was not sent to baptize but to preach the Gospel that is not onely or chief●ly sent to baptize 1 Tim. 2. 14. Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the transgression Was not Adam deceived yea doubtless and in other places it is laid all upon him death came in by him but Adam sinned not alone nor was first in the transgression now the Apostle speaks of women and applieth the womans sin to women and saith Adam was not deceived Women should know that not onely Adam sinned but the woman sinned and was first in the transgression too so that these instances may serve to clear up our understanding of the words of Christ I say not that I will pray for you that is I say not onely that I will pray for you but as a farther ground of strong consolation The Father himself loveth you by which I am sure to prevail in what I pray for and this is evident for he had promised it before 2. I shall prove this from reasons grounded on the Scriptures Reason 1. From his praying for them when he was in this world in some sence more remote from the Father and less exercised in the work of mediation gives us strong and undoubted grounds to
