the longer and more dangerous the way is we haue to trauell by so much the more desirous and inquisitiue are we after company because it maketh greatly for our safety and comfort and helpeth much against the tediousnes and wearisomenesse of the way Thou therefore my deare brother who as a pilgrime and stranger on earth art wandring in the wildernesse of this world towards that heauenly Canaan a way long and dangerous wherein doe lye in waite many theeues and robbers full also of crosse-wayes and by-paths and none almost to direct thee except thou wilt aske of the beasts of the wildernesse inquire and seeke out some of these that are trauelling as well as thou to Canaan to bee thy associates And this shall bee sweete and comfortable both to thee and them Thus did Dauid a pilgrime as all our Fathers were Psal 119.63 I am a companion saith he of all them that feare thee and keepe thy precepts And that which is more All his delight next to that he had in God Psal 16.3 Prou. 12.26 was in the Saints that were in the earth who are more excellent then their neighbours and consequently their societie more to be desired It goeth well with that woman who maketh choice of such an husband whose company shee cannot auoid and with that man which hath such a wife and with him that hath such neighbours or out of them can and doth cull out such to be his companions and acquaintance It is good being in the company of these for with the godly thou shalt learne to bee godly Prou. 13.20 or being godly to encrease in godlinesse But it is much better yea a blessed thing to be one of this society For is it not I pray thee an happy thing to be beloued of God and in speciall fauour with him Dauid so accounted it and therefore prayeth thus to God Psal 4.6 Many say who will shew vs any good but Lord lift thou vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs. And professeth that herein he had more ioy of heart then worldly minded men haue when their wheate and wine doth abound Now all of the Church are dearely beloued of God They are as wee heare the Congregation of the first borne Rom. 1.7 No first borne child is so tenderly beloued of his parents no not of his mother as these be of God For it may so fall out that a woman may forget her childe and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe Isa 49.75 Psal 27.10 Ephes 15.25 Iohn 10.11.15 Iohn 15.13 but this cannot fall into God Though father and mother forsake one of these the Lord will take him vp This Church and company of men Christ so loued that hee gaue himselfe for it that is layd downe his life for it And greater loue then this to dye for his friends can no man haue O loue vnspeakable As by his deeds so by his words Iesus doth witnes his loue to this Church Cant. 2.14.15 4.2 7 8. c. 5.1.2 Mat. 12.49.50 in calling it his Welbeloued his Doue his Spouse his Loue and in accounting euery one of this societie his Brother and Sister and Mother If then thou be one of this fellowship O man thou art in grace and speciall fauour not with thy King and Soueraigne on earth but with thy God and thy Lord who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and with him whose loue is the fountaine of all mans happinesse Of this loue I say euery one of this Church and company may be assured Happy therefore are all they and only they who be of this society Their happines and dignity their excellent estate full of maiesty and glory may yet further appeare by sundry of those titles which are giuen vnto them in holy Scripture They of this society are called a spirituall house the Tabernacle of God the Temple of God and are said to be the habitation of God by the Spirit because the Spirit of God dwelleth in them What a grace and honor is this that the King of glory should cohabite with vs And what a rebell is he Reu. 3.20 who though this King stand at his doore and knock will not open that he may enter in Happy and thrice happy is he who hath the presence and fellowship of God For who shall harme him with whom the Almighty is alwayes present to defend Hee needs not bee afraid of the feare of the night Psal 91.1 nor of the arrow that flieth by day nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darknes nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone-day that dwelleth thus in the secret of the most high and abideth in the shadow of the Almighty Though a thousand fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand yet shall not the euill come neere thee In all perils thou mayest be secure lye downe in peace and take thy rest when others feare and tremble Gal. 5.22 Where this Spirit is there is peace towards God with men yea with all men as much as is possible There is also loue to God to men for Gods cause louing our enemies praying for and doing good to them that hate and persecute vs Iohn 15.26 all maliciousnes enuy and euill speaking being laid aside If thou hast this spirit it will lead thee into the truth and preserue thee from error This is the holy Spirit and therefore hauing it it will sanctifie thee and make thee holy And is the Comforter giuing that ioy to man Iohn 15.26 and 16.22 which the world cannot take from him Where he dwelleth there is a continuall feast He makes the children of men to reioyce in afflictions taking away the bitternes of them If it fall out so that thou bee in prison in close prison and so want the company of men suppose of Angels too though that is not possible yet art thou not alone but hast one with thee to whom thou mayest make thy mone and in whose society thou mayest solace thy selfe He will lead thee when thou walkest watch for thee when thou sleepest and when thou wakest talke with thee and comfort thee in the houre of death when others dying shall be in heauinesse Is not he now happy that is one of the Church And yet heare what further I say vnto thee All of the Church for as much as they haue the Spirit of God are the children of God and so●eires of God and coheires with Christ Gal. 4.6 Because yee are sonnes saith the Apostle God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Sonne into your hearts And againe As many as are led by the Spirit of God Rom. 8.14 they are the sonnes of God Then he addeth If children also heires euen the heires of God and coheires with Christ For this cause all of this fellowship are most happy and of all persons vnder heauen the most honorable in truth though not in the account of the world
