of the world It is holy and true it is holy and true it is holy and true Who made it holy and true who kept it holy and true the great Mediatour of the Covenant The Covenant is but one Faith in the Covenant is my onely support yet if I beleeve not hee abides faithful Is there none that will come and praise God * Whatsoever sins thou hast doest or shalt commit if you lay hold upon free Grace you are safe but if you put your self under a Covenant of works you bring your self under the Law and so under the Curse then you are gone Is there none that saies who will deliver mee from the peril man can do nothing but God can do what hee will Lord thou knowest if I do desire to live it is to shew forth thy praise and declare thy works It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God Heb. 10. 31. This was spoke three times his Repetitions usually being very weighty and with great vehemency of spirit All the Promises of God are in him Yea and in him A men to the glory of God by us by us in Jesus Christ The Lord hath filled mee with as much Assurance of his Pardon and his Love as my soul can hold I think I am the poorest wretch that lives But I love God or rather am beloved of God 1 John 4. 10 19. Herein is love not that wee loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins We love him because he first loved us I am a Conquerour and more than a Conquerour through Christ that strengtheneth mee Rom. 8. 37. Nay in all these things wee are more than Conquerours through him that loved us Children live like Christians and I leave you the Covenant to feed upon 1 John 2. 1 15 28 29. cap. 3. 7 18. 5. 21. My little Children these things write I unto you that yee sin not And if any man sin wee have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous Love not the world neither the things that are in the world If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him And now little Children abide in him that when hee shall appear wee may have confidence and not bee ashamed before him at his coming If yee know that hee is righteous yee know that every one which doth righteousness is born of him Little Children let no man deceive you hee that doth righteousness is righteous even as hee is righteous My little Children let us not love in word neither in tongue but in deed and in truth Little Children keep your selves from Idols Amen Love not this world I say unto you it is not good that you should love the world 1 John 2. 15 16 17. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world And the world passeth away and the lust thereof but hee that doth the will of God abideth for ever Thus wee see not onely his clearness in the Covenant of Grace but the strength of his Faith even unto a high pitch of Assurance and triumph with exceeding spiritual joy and rejoycing And yet with a deep and soul-debasing sense of his own sinfulness and unworthiness thereby magnifying to much the more the Riches of Gods Grace with his deep apprehensions of the dreadful consequence of despising the same or turning it into wantonness or by drawing back from our holy profession and obedience after Conviction Illumination and some taste of the heavenly Gift so falling into the hands of the Living God which is a fearful thing But as to his Faith had it not been great considering the many trials and afflictions terrours and temptations hee was under before these times upon and after his turn to God And the difficulties and dangers hee encountred with with continual ha●●ard of life in his military employments Besides much more than ever since called to the Government of these Nations a burden of its self too heavy for any man or men to bear without a mighty power of God I say considering all this had hee not been strong in Faith hee had sunk long ago In the next place let us consider the exercise of his Faith in a few experiences of many wherein hee was Rich declared by himself and which were not ordinary But such as few I think of the choicest Saints have attained unto one whereof was as followeth Being at Edinborough in Scotland it pleased the Lord to exercise him with sore sicknesse a high and dangerous Feavor whereby hee was brought so low that his Physicians and others had little or no hopes in reason of his recovery For one fit of his distemper having lasted about twelve hours Immediately a second fit returned upon him without any intermission for as long a time and likely to have continued in that extremity until thereby hee had expired But behold this was Gods opportunity to shew his Power and to magnifie his Word a Portion whereof by the hand of the Spirit of the Lord was then given in unto him not onely to feed his Faith and revive his heart but also to rebuke his Disease which immediately left him to the astonishment of himself and others it being little less than a miracle For his Distemper returned no more upon him but the Lord raised him up intending further to use and honour him as hee hath done The Scripture is Psal. 91. 14 15 16. Because hee hath set his love upon mee therefore will I deliver him I will set him on high because hee hath known my Name Vers 15. Hee shall call upon mee and I will answer him I will bee with him in trouble I will deliver him and honour him Vers 16. With long life will I satisfie him and shew him my salvation Which Promises as then his Relief so all along in every condition have been eminently made good unto him in his own experiences and would bee of good use to others had not his own backwardness in uttering any thing wherein hee might seem to glory for the most part concealed them But as in sickness so also in the high places of the field as at Dunbar Worcester and elsewhere when hee carried his life in his hand ready to offer up the same as a willing Sacrifice in the great Cause of God and his People Did not his Faith then work at a more than ordinary rate insomuch that successe and victory was in his eye whilst fears and despondencies did oppresse the hearts of others and some good men too when great discouragements and that not groundless as to the strongest reason did lye in the way I say was hee not like another
