A85737	Svveet and soule-perswading inducements leading unto Christ. Deduced, 1. From the consideration of mans misery, emptinesse, basenesse, and dishonour without Christ. 2. From the meditation of the comforts attending the soules receiving of Christ. 3. From the apprehension of the joy and excellency of Christs living in man: the whole singularly sweetning the meditation of Christ to the soule of man. By Alexander Grosse, minister of Christ.	Grosse, Alexander, 1596?-1654.	1642 (1642)	Wing G2077; Thomason E120_1; ESTC R209830	364,575	490

and sinke of the foulest and basest misery The man in the parable fell among theeves which stripped him of his rayment and wounded him leaving him halfe dead Man is fallen among three great theeves the Devill sinne and the world and these have stripped man of all his spirituall rayment these have taken all grace and holinesse from man which once covered him like a rich and costly garment and they have also wounded and left man halfe dead in his very naturall abilities The fall of man hath totally stript him of all grace and holinesse and also given a mortall wound to his morall and naturall faculties Hee that abides not with God at Jerusalem makes himselfe a prey to sinne the Devill and the world There came a Priest and a Levite passing by and looking upon the man thus stript and wounded but neither of them had compassion upon him neither of them ministred any consolation nor lent an assisting hand unto him Neither the Priest nor the Levite neither the Morall nor Ceremoniall Law can deliver sinfull man from Satans bondage nor heale his wounded conscience neither the works of the one nor the Rites and Ceremonies of the other can restore man to his originall happinesse nor justifie him in Gods presence Mans best abilities and all-humane devises are miserable comforters to sinfull and perplexed soules in their anguish Though the Priest and the Levite had no compassion upon him yet there came a Samaritan which had compassion upon him though the Law shew no pitty nor minister no comfort to wounded soules and afflicted consciences yet the Lord Jesus communicates both great and sweet mercies to broken hearted sinners The Samaritane a man from whom this distressed man could not expect any mercy had compassion upon him and helped him Christ is become the Authour of mans comfort and salvation beyond all humane and Angelical thought conceit or imagination the wisedome worke and love of God in providing a Saviour for distressed sinners was farre above the reach and comprehension of all creatures The Samaritan bound up this poore mans wound and poured in wine and oyle the Lord Jesus binds up the broken-hearted and gives the oyle of joy for mourning to them whose soules are truly humbled the Samaritan set the man upon his owne beast Christ communicates his owne honour to the penitent and broken-hearted sinner sinne is the cause of mans dejection Christ is the Authour of mans exaltation the Samaritan brought this distressed man to an Inne and tooke care for him gave two pence to the Hoast charged him to take care of him and promised payment of whatsoever he should spend more The Lord Jesus brings perplexed soules to God as to their spirituall Hoast and to the ministery of the Gospell as to an Inne full of spirituall provision gives his Ministers the two Testaments the Law and the Gospell out of them to minister to the soules of his people and chargeth them as the ministeriall Hoast of poore and perplexed soules to make all necessary and plentifull provision and in the end by his merits his active and passive obedience his two great pence he dischargeth the debt of all penitent and beleeving sinners The whole of a sinfull and grieved soules happinesse flowes from the Lord Jesus all the supply of mans want and emptinesse is derived from Christs super-abundant fulnesse All the myrrh and odours and instruments of Hesters purification and all her rich and costly apparell were given her out of the Kings house and the royall crowne was put upon her head by the Kings hand All the purity and perfection all the righteousnesse and justification all the dignity and excellency of a holy and gracious soule is drawne from Christ the spirituall and heavenly King All mans holy and heavenly excellencies are borrowed from the Lord Jesus Man is an empty cisterne and hath all his fulnesse from Christ the true and everliving fountaine Christ is the root by whom he is sustained the spring by whom he is filled the Sun by which he is enlightened the garment wherewith he is covered the crowne with which he is honoured the head by which he is guided the eye by which he seeth the hand by which he worketh the foot by which he walketh yea the very soule by which he liveth Whatsoever goodnesse or excellency is in a Christian it is Christs and not his owne his very life is nothing but the living of Christ in him he must say with Paul Neverthelesse I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me The words are a declaration of a Christians life Christ living in beleeving man and man living unto Christ The Apostle setting forth how he was dead to the Law that he might live to God tels us that he was crucified together with Christ Christ being crucified for us and we being by faith ingrafted into him doe dye to sinne and mortifie our earthly members which are upon earth the death of the Lord Jesus is the death of sinne in all beleeving Christians they live no more as formerly they did they have Christ now living in them and communicating himselfe unto them He that hath not experience of Christs living in him in the way and worke of sanctification presumes in vaine of being saved by his death and suffering no man knowes the benefit of Christs death but he that feeles the vertue of Christs life Man hath no further assurance of Christs dying for him then as he feeles Christ living in him He that knowes the power of Christs death in the mortification of his lusts knowes also the vertue of Christs life in the quickning of his soule and can say with Paul now I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me In the words not to trouble you with many particulars we have two generall things proposed 1. Christian abnegation I live yet not I. 2. Holy and gracious vivification but Christ liveth in me In the abnegation we have 1. the Subiect I Paul the Apostle a man chosen and called of God a man filled and furnished with the fulnesse of Christ and in and under him is understood all beleeving Christians Such alone as are truly sanctified and gracious people are the compleat and proper Subiect of that life which is heavenly and spirituall Onely the living body is the seat and subject of the soule and that man alone that is spiritually quickned hath Christ residing and dwelling in him communicating holy and heavenly life to him 2. Here is the Predicate or thing affirmed Life and that is two wayes proposed 1. affirmatively I live 2. Negatively yet not I. First affirmatively I live I lived once under the Law which made me a persecutor of the Church of God convinced me of sinne wrought in me all manner of concupisence and slew me and I then found my selfe to be dead in sinne but now I have embraced Christ and am crucified with him now I am no more the man I was but now

not without grace without God 6. By the carnall mans estrangement from Christ he receiveth not Christ as a dweller to possesse him as a King to command him as a Lord and Master to be every way serviceable to Christ as a friend to love Christ as a husband to marry his soule to Christ as a Physitian to be healed by Christ as a fountaine to be filled with Christ as the root of life to live in and by Christ Every carnall man is a sinfull and a Christlesse creature having nothing of Christ in him and being without Christ he is without God God is no God of grace of mercy of peace to the soule without Christ Whosoever saith Saint John denieth the Son embraceth not loveth not honoureth not the Sonne hath not the Father And againe whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the Doctrine of Christ hath not God God is truly and comfortably knowne rightly adored and sweetly and savingly enjoyed onely in Christ Man hath no way to God but Christ he is the glasse in whom God is clearly seen he is the fountaine whence the fulnesse of God is received he is the beloved in whom alone man is accepted God is an utter stranger to the soule of that person who hath not Christ dwelling in him 7. By the carnall mans estrangement from the remembrance of God In the grave saith the Psalmist there is no remembrance of thee Among the carnall men the dead in sin there is no remembrance of God God is not in all their thoughts their thoughts are worldly thoughts vain thoughts evill thoughts thoughts of iniquity Every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts is only evill continually they remember not they thinke not upon the Lord He is forgotten as he speakes by Jeremy dayes without number The carnall mans thoughts of God are erronious thoughts superstitious thoughts doubtfull thoughts low thoughts dishonourable thoughts seldome cold and flitting thoughts no serious dwelling abiding and working thoughts He doth not remember God as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with high honourable transcendent awefull and reverent thoughts disposing his soule to the feare of God He doth not remember God as the rich man his treasure with ioyfull and delightfull thoughts as the captive his Ransomer with gratulatory and praise rendring thoughts as the Bride her Bridegroome with loving soule-warming and heart-affecting thoughts as the thirsty man the fountaine with longing and incessant thoughts He doth not remember the dominion of God to be subject to him the Wisedome or God to be guided by him the power of God to repose himselfe upon him the presence of God to walke all the day long as in Gods sight nor the Al-sufficiency of God to seeke all satisfaction in him Perhaps like Mariners in a storme in a time of trouble he hath some constrained thoughts of God but otherwise he forgets God as Pharaohs Butler forgate Joseph as men in time of peace lay aside their weapons and thinke no more upon them till warre be renewed Thus carnall men lay aside all thought of God make no use of God untill some dismall distresse ceaze upon them and as they are strangers to the remembrance of God so they must of necessity be estranged from all interest in God and from all communion with God CHAP. XXII Opening the Atheisme of Man and the haynousnesse thereof IN carnall and naturall mans estrangement from God in his being without God we may see and behold a deluge of Atheisme overflowing and drowning the men of the world as once the deluge of waters overflowed and drowned the earth Some are Atheists in opinion concluding or at least supposing that there is no God at all saying in their hearts there is no God A generation of men sinning against the great and glorious workmanship of God in the Creation of the world wherein he that runnes may read as in lively characters the invisible things of God the power wisedome and goodnesse of God Transgressing against the providence authority dominion and wisedome of God clearly shining in his most wise and powerfull preservation moderation dispensation and ordering of the whole universe and all the particulars thereof as a great Centurion his army as a prudent Lord and Master his family Subverting and overthrowing all Religion and divine worship as if it were but a politicke devise to keep men in awe as children with tales and stories of bug-beares and hob-goblins there being no God to be adored no supreame and eternall Lord and Soveraigne to be served no Hell to be feared no Heaven to be desired Letting loose the raines to all licentiousnesse as if there were no Law to be transgressed no punishment to be inflicted offending against the honour and dignity of mans condition equalizing the very beasts with man as if man were to perish like the beasts partaking king after death of no greater glory then the beasts partake of extinguishing the very light of nature by which the very heathens of all ages have acknowledged a supreame divine being shamefully disgracing and dishonouring the sacred Scriptures as if they were either so many empty lamps or false lights set up for shew and not for truth haynously sinning also against Christ if there be no God then was Christs undertaking with God for man in vaine then he suffered to no purpose then had he no authority no commission from above and so is made the greatest Imposter and deceiver that ever the earth did beare a generation of men these are worse then the Devils for they beleeve and tremble O the miserable condition whereinto sinne hath cast man causing him to deny the being of that God who gave him being the fruition of whom was the Paradise of mans soule at his first Creation and is now the sweetest joy and glory of mankinde being either in the state of grace or in the Kingdome of Heaven Some are Atheists in practise professing as the Apostle saith that they know God but in works deny him Some make Idols their God bowing downe before a stocke and a stone as the superstitious some make worldly goods their God as the covetous some make meat and drinke their God as the drunkard and glutton some make honours and high places their God as the ambitious some make carnall delights and pastimes their God as the voluptuous and pleasure-hunters some make whores and harlots their God as the wanton and adulterous some make their workes their God as the merit-mongers some make their naked attendance upon holy Ordinances their God as the the carnall-Gospellers some make their morall vertues their God as the civill man some make their formes of godlinesse and outward shewes their God as the hypocrites c. All these and such like though they professe God yet in practise they are Atheists and doe deny God He that discernes not the seeds reliques and movings of this abomination in himselfe never yet knew himselfe nor the state of his
