to Glory as by the Spirit of the LORD 2 Corinthians 3 18 then ye are meet for Christ begging Poor Sinners are our LORDs Schollars The Lintel-stone of our LORDs School-door is a Low-stone ye must stoup Low and Lout Ye will be on your Knees with it or ye can win in Ye must be very humble else that Stone will take your head and ding you back and ye will not win in than be Fools that Christ may be your Wisdom 1 Corinthians 1 30 There is as much merit in Christ as will buy a Thousand Heavens Now if our Wooer Christ were not Kind and sought our Kindness even Words of us and brought the Love Tokens the Friendship betwixt Christ and us would soon wear out of Date grow Cold Christ ay blows at the Coal ere it wear out Christ would win a Friend yea a Foe to be kind to him He is ay thriping and claiming Kindness of us as if he were the Beggar and the Poor-man and we the King O he claims Kindness to us Then surely we need not think shame of our Friend Would ye ken for whom Christ Died and Payed even for Dyvours such as Swore themselves bare and came out of Prison upon Caution or a Cessiobonorum Poor-men that has been upon the Dyvours-stone and are far from Payment by the Dyvour-bill when there is not a finger in all your hand fastened upon your self then ye are meet for Christ For who are better met and yoaked than a Poor Sick Dying-man and a skillfull Physician Who is better yoaked than a crying Begging-sinner and a Rich Christ But oh it is ofttimes not so for Christ would give us more nor we will receive He scatters his Gold we Proud Beggars will not bow our back and lout down and gather He would fain Sell we will not Buy so there will be no blocking Let Me see thy Countenance An Allusion to Israel that was to present themselves before the LORD Thrice a Year in the Tabernacle The meaning is Walk before me It is not enough that thou believe and so dwell by Faith in the Holes of the Rock but thou must also shew thy Faith by Good Works and Prayers and Worshipping of GOD Christ loves not Professors that never wan or Love to Pray and such as hates not the World But you will see they are Believers by their Holy Living Matthew 13 The VVord of GOD is Seed sown that brings forth Thirty Sixty and an Hundred Fold Ilk Boll brings out Thirty Ilk Sermon ilk Communion should bring out an Hundred Good VVorks Beloved GOD's Land is Set at an High-price he is a Master that will have all his own from his Tennents and as the Song says Every one of GODs Sheep brings out Twins Hebrews 7 8 There is a Ground that drinks in Rain from Heaven and yet brings forth Briers and Thorns it is near a Curse Bring forth Fruit or else ye will make GOD say my Curse and GODs Mallison be upon thy Heart thou hears much and brings forth no Fruit Therefore beware Beloved a Tree that once gets a dadd with GODs Ax it will never do well again Ye shall become like the Girdle Jeremiah 13 17 which he did hide at the River Euphrates it was profitable for nothing it was marred it shall never go about GODs Wast again Beware then that ye be not Blasted Professors Fruitless Christians but be ye always in his Sight For there be some that comes never in GODs Sight they are GODs Dyvours They are aughting so much that they dar not come to GOD and Compt and Pay Outlaws and Borderers that comes not or keeps not Christs Kingdom but runs like Wild Asses and Drumadaries up and down the Mountains and snuffs up the Wind at their Pleasure I compare their Life to those that rides Post Many a Horse has Satan in his Stable and when these Out-laws has wearied their Greediness after Sin and has gotten they know not what they mount upon a Fresh-horse Some upon Pride and they ride once out of GODs Sight they run while they be in Hell in the end For the Devil is upon the Horse and the Rider GOD seeks Dear and for his Money ye must give him more than Ten in the Hunder For Five Talents he must have Ten again he must have double Stock Look what Grace ye receive by Weight render to him his own in Weight and more If his Gold want an Ounce he will cast it to you again For one Bolls sowing ye must give him Thirty again GOD would have his Servants ay keeping his Chamber if they go their own length from him he misses them Ye must not be GODs Chamber-pages and steal out of his Presence and give the Devil a Baggadge-yoaking nay he must ay see your Face and hear your Voice There be many that would serve GOD and be in Christs School but they are like Trowands that takes the Play and runs to Play sometimes with the World and the Devil and loves to sport themselves with the World and the Devil But GODs Schollars may not take the Play Let me see thy Face The Kirk might have said Dear LORD my Face Oh does Thou desire to see my Face it is very Black I am Sun-burnt Sin hath made me deformed and for my Voice it is both Harsh and Mistuned What then says Christ I think not so my Dear Spouse I think it is a Fair Face I think ye have a Sweet Voice It is Great Comfort for GODs Children when they rise many times off their Knees from Prayer with a woe heart thinking because they have no Heart nor Feeling nor Sence that GOD is offended with their Prayers and thinks little of their Works when as their Prayers and Tears and Works are accepted before GOD Ye think nothing of one Tear yet GOD puts it in his Bottle and nothing of one Sigh but GOD gathers it in his Treasure If GOD thought of us as the World does and as we think of our Selves oftentimes wofull would our Case be But GOD has not a Pleasanter Sight in the World nor the Face of a Child of GOD No Musick Delights Him more nor the Sighs and Tears Complaints and Prayers of his Children See ye not the Spirit of GOD bringing in Christ longing for a Sight of his Wife longing for a Word of her Proverbs 8. 31. Christ Rejoiceth and Sports and Plays in the Habitable Parts of the Earth and his Delight is with the Sons of Men Ye will see more of this upon the last words of this Song Take us the Foxes It 's a Speech of Christ to take the Kirk to take Convince Censure Rebuke Cut off and Excommunicat all Inordinate Livers and Offenders in the LORDs Vineyard Ezekiel 13. 4. O Israel thy Prophets are like Foxes in the Deserts Jeremiah 12. 10. Many Pastors have Corrupted My Vineyard O what can there be upon the Earth to make a Kirk Happy But it is here To hear a Kirk Sick
