penalty yea they binde it farther with an oath Neither was this oath taken with a grudging and repining heart such as too many of our hearts be that are affraid to bee too farre engaged in the seruice of God though it be to our owne preseruation but knowing that God loueth a cheerefull giuer They sware vnto the Lord with a loude voice and with shouting and with Trumpets and with Cornets And when they had sworne they were not sorry they had done a good deed which kinde of repentance to bee repented of is too common among vs But Israel yea all Israel reioyced at the oath and behold the reason For they had sworne with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire And now behold the happy successe God was found of them and he gaue them rest round about Behold here a path that leades to rest And the men are named that haue already trauailed in this path and by it came vnto rest 1 Cor. 10. 11. And wherfore doth the Scripture so punctually trace out this path but that ages to come might learne by this example in the same path to come to the same rest The same seeking the Lord with the whole heart and binding it with a Couenant and binding the Couenant with an Oath or solemne Vow are things which may bee done and being done they are followed with rest What remaines to bee said but that rest stands before vs and the way to rest is also open to vs and the Spirit encourageth vs by these examples and saith This is the way walke in it and ye shall finde rest to your soules If it seem heauy to vs it is because we doe not seeke God with all our heart and our whole desire for wee see that they who seeke the Lord with their whole heart and desire reioyce at the Couenant yea at an oath vpon the Couenant at a Bond vpon a Bond. For they thinke that all Bonds are little enough to binde the heart to him whom all the heart doth seeke and desire If a woman doe affect a man with all her heart to make him her Husband surely she will account it a very ioy full thing to bee bound to him by a solemne Matrimoniall vow For it is nothing else but to binde the heart to him aboue all whom the heart doth affect aboue all It is a pleasure to bee bound to that which wee loue Wherefore if we loue God we will take a pleasure to be bound to him yea wee will not only cry with the Spouse Draw me but binde mee to thee Cant. 1. 4. with cords of loue and I will runne after thee Neither is it any new thing to binde our hearts to God by a Couenant for it is but a repeating of the same Couenant which wee made in our Baptisme And it bindeth vs already if wee doe not renouce our Baptisme and so our Christianity Yea the same Couenant wee renew and repeate in the Lords Supper For the whole work of Grace working in the Church Militant is comprehended and bound vp in a Couenant which wee reade to bee thus summed vp in the Scripture God forgiueth our sinnes Ier. 31. 31 and writeth his Lawes in our hearts by his Spirite and so hee becomes our God to direct protect and blesse vs and we become his people to serue loue and obey him This Couenant wee enter into in Baptisme Heb. 8. 10. vndertaking then to bee led by the Spirit of Regeneration and not by the Flesh the World and the Diuell Now the Lords Supper is a seconding of this Couenant Therefore saith our Sauiour Luk. 22. 20 This Cup is the New Testament or Couenant for so the words are enterchanged Heb. 8. 8. 9. 20. 12. 24. in my bloud And indeede because by the frailtie of the flesh whose reliques remaine after Regeneration though the Reigne be abolished wee often goe aside from the Rule of the Spirit wee goe aside I say as a ship goes aside and fals off from the rule of the Needle or Compasse though the Compasse be not cast ouer-boord neither fall out of the ship therfore this Sacrament is appointed to bring vs againe into the path of the New Couenant the guilt of those frailties and errours being washed away by the bloud of Christ and the spot by the spirit of Christ. Which spirit of Christ also refresheth and reuiueth the Law of God written in our hearts and strengthens vs to a more perfect walking and abiding in this Law So the Iudgements of God doe but call vs to the same Couenant to which the Sacraments binde vs but indeede they call vs to a more reall performance of that Couenant which hauing vndertaken in the Sacraments yet we haue failed to performe For this Cause saith St. Paul many are weake and sickly among you 1. Cor. 11. 10. many sleepe And the Lord by his Prophet Ier. 11. 8. Therefore I will bring vpon them all the words of this Couenant which I commanded them to doe and they did it not And if hee That despised Moses Law died without mercy Heb. 10. 28. of how much sorer punishment suppose yee shall he be thought worthy who hath troden vnder foote the Sonne of God and hath counted the blood of the Couenant wherewith hee was sanctified an vnholy thing And thus while iudgements come vpon vs for the breath and contempt of our Couenant with God the same iudgements call vs to a Cure by the contrary that is by renewing our Couenant againe and stedfast keeping it 1. Cor. 11. 31 For if we would thus iudge our selues wee should not bee iudged of the Lord. Behold here is life and death set before vs and there are examples of both The breach of the Couenant is iudged and auenged with destruction An example of that breach and iudgement are Iudah Ierusalem who besides their many breaches after many renewings brake one euen a little before their Baby lonish Ier. 34. 10. 11. 17. 18. Captiuitie The making of a Couenant with the whole Heart is followed with Rest and Prosperitie and an example of that is Asa with all Iudah and Beniamin What shall I say Choose life that ye may liue Euery ones heart I thinke should say so to it selfe And the speech of another should be preuented or stopped as Elisha put to silence the children of the Prophets I knew it Gen. 12. 1. hold you your peace But then I say as Iacob to his sonnes Why doe yee looke one vpon another I haue heard there is Corne in Egypt get yee downe thither and buy for vs from thence that wee may liue and not dye Why stand yee still gazing on Gods chastisements which yee see vpon your selues and others and doe not goe about to cure them Our Ioseph euen Iesus that deliuers vs from the wrath to come whose coate was dipped in his own blood Phil. 2. 6. 7. 8. euen the coate of
