his Mind his Affections together with all other Faculties of the Soul are altogether dead and lifeless And secondly it is a deadness in sin not to sin for so is the truly godly according to their measures but a deadness in sin Hence note a natural Man thus dead in sin is First not sensible of sin secondly he is not troubled for sin thirdly he is not burdened with sin fourthly he hath no true desire to be delivered from sin true he may have some Convictions and perhaps sometimes sharp ones too but it is either not for sin as sin or else but for some particular Acts of sin more notorious than ordinary in the mean while not seeing that his whole Nature is polluted and that the best of his Actions whilst out of Christ is but as filthy Rags which instead of meriting any good thing for him doth rather like the Blood of Abel cry to Heaven for vengeance upon him for without Christ we can do nothing John 15.5 that is nothing well-pleasing to him for whatsoever is not of faith is sin O that the World could once be brought to see this then Men would have done talking of Free-will and of a power in Man whilst in Nature to do that which is good then would they be brought off trusting in depending upon or boasting of their own Righteousness then should we all fall down as one Man before the Lord crying out as with one Voice Oh wretched men that we are who shall deliver us from this body of sin Rom. 7. 24. Then should we know what Christ meaneth in that notable place John 5. 24 25. But Secondly THE State of Christ's Church in general and of every Member thereof in particular before called by him c. is a State of Hardness and desperate Wickedness but still I mean as to the things of God for alas if the Devil tempt if the World allure if the Flesh lust after its own things if any Profit Pleasure Honour Preferment or Advantage be offered to us Oh how soon then have we an Eye to see an Ear to hear and an open Heart to receive these things though tending never so much to our Souls ruine and destruction but on the other hand God may call and call again he may stand at the Door and knock day after day he may cry aloud in our Ears by his Word Works and Providences he may threaten Death Damnation and Destruction by the Law and again sweetly tender Grace Mercy Forgiveness of Sins and Salvation by the Gospel time after time and in Sermon after Sermon and yet for all this Man whilst in Nature hath neither Eye to see Ear to hear nor Heart to receive Oh sad Condition But again Thirdly THE State of Christ's Church in general and of every Member thereof in particular before called by Christ c. is a State of Blindness and Insensibility for though Man in this Estate lie in the Gall of Bitterness and Bond of Iniquity chained up in the Devils Prison where Satan himself is Gaoler though he be in a State which if lived and dyed in will certainly usher him into the Pit of Hell and though he be posting with the greatest Expedition towards everlasting Damnation sleeping and snoring in a Condition near equivalent to the Damned in Hell and though he hear all this from the Scriptures and God's Ministers yet still he remains blind and insensible till God move upon the Heart See Eph. 4.18 But Fourthly FOR I haste The State of the Church of Christ and every Member thereof whilst in Nature and uncalled is a state of Alienation from God Alas whilst thus they have no true knowledge of him nor fellowship with him they see him not nor enjoy him though in him they live move and have their Being they rise up in the Morning and ly down again at Night Day after Day Month after Month and yet have not God in a godly way as much as once in all their thoughts they rarely do as much as once seriously consider whether they be going to Life or Death to Heaven or Hell to God or the Devil Fifthly and lastly THE State of Christ's Church in general and every Member thereof in particular before effectually called by Christ to himself is a State of Deceiveableness This Paul confesseth to Titus Titus 3.3 For alas generally nay I think I may say always they that are most without God have the least sense of the want of God they that are most with the Devil are in the least fear of the Devil and they that are really the greatest sinners are the least troubled for their sins for either they are wholly Carnal in their Lives as well as Hearts and so minding no Religon at all or else they fall a doing and working for Life building upon their Prayers Duties Works and Obedience thinking these shall stand them in some stead concluding that if they can but live Civilly deal Justly do their Duties orderly and keep all God's Commandments to the utmost of their Power according to the Law Well then undoubtedly all shall be well with them both in Death and Judgment and consequently to Eternity though they know nothing no nothing of Christ the Gospel Faith nor Self-denyal not minding that the Scripture saith That there is no name given under heaven whereby we can be saved but the name of Jesus and that whosoever believes not in him shall be damned for without Faith it is impossible to please him but Do and Live is the only Religon consistent with the fallen Nature it is wholly a stranger to all Gospel Mysteries and so I fear are too many called Gospel Ministers else why is Free-will and Mans works and Righteousness cry'd up at such a height at this day to the great dishonour of Christ and the Gospel in so many places and persons and why is there such Heart-burnings against such as preach the Pure Gospel of Christ whereby Man and his Righteousness is laid in the Dust and Christ and his Righteousness exalted according to the Scriptures But to conclude this Point Paul most plainly tells us what all Men are by Nature For indeed there is no difference In the second of the Ephesians 11 12. 1st Gentiles in the Flesh 2ly Uncircumcised in Heart 3ly Without Christ 4ly Aliens to the Commonwealth of Israel 5ly Strangers to the Covenant of Grace 6ly Void of Hope 7ly Without God in the World a dreadful Condition indeed and this brings me to the Second Particular To consider Whether the Church first seeketh unto Christ or on the contrary Christ first seeketh unto the Church in order to the effecting of this blessed Union or Marriage betwixt them And the Solution is plain First as intimated by the Text and 2ly As confirmed by all the Scriptures relating thereunto 1st As intimated by the Text thus viz. As Samson first sought unto and endeavoured after this Philistine Woman in order to the concluding of this Contract betwixt
