He was to be God because the greatness of the evill could not be taken away but by himself the wrath of God being infinite it could not be taken away by any finite thing Again it must be finite for it could not stand with Gods justice to punish Christ for our sins if he had not our nature neither could it have been satisfaction for us if it had not been in our nature and stead so that Jesus Christ is very God and very man of the very substance of the Virgin Mary begotten by the Holy-Ghost The unity of the two natures in Christ is not the confounding of them for the Godhead remaineth infinite invisible incomprehensible the Body finite and visible Acts 3. 21. 1 Cor. 15. 26 28 29.

Let us get a distinct knowledge of this Christ without us and a sensible feeling of his vertues in us Of the Holy Ghost THE Father sent forth the Son and the Son sent forth the Holy-Ghost yet Father Son and Holy-Ghost was never separated one from the other As there is one God Father of all and one Lord Jesus Christ redeemer of the world so there is one sanctifying Spirit of grace and as it is the office of the Father to elect and the office of the Son to redeem so it is the office of the Holy-ghost to sanctifie those and only those whom the Father hath elected and the Son redeemed and as the Father doth love freely and the Son manifest that love so the spirit doth evidence that love to and in the souls of the Saints the Father loves a Christian as redeemed by Christ Christ looks upon him and loves him as given by the Father for him to redeem the Holy-Ghost seeing the love of the Father in choosing him and the love of the Son in redeeming
That he would suffer and satisfie personally and perfectly for the sins of men Luke 24. 46. Hos 13. 14. 1 Pet. 2. 24. 5. That he would bring himself and all those given him by his Father unto glory Heb. 10. 14. Joh. 14. 4 9. Iohn 10. 18. The word of God doth contain the Articles of this Covenant those that desire further satisfaction search the Scriptures wherein you shall find that Christ did willingly undertake this work Heb. 10. 7 9. and did faithfully discharge it Heb. 10. 5 6 7 c. so our reconciliation was wrought by the Son Isa 61. 1. Iohn 1. 3. Iohn 5. 36 37. Col. 1. 16 17. Hebr. 1. 3. Iohn 5. 17. 3. 17. and sealed by the Holy-Ghost Ephes 1. 13. 4. 30. The third thing to be enquired into is when this Covenant was made with us THere be three set times wherein God may be said to make this Covenant viz. 1. Immediately after the fall of Adam Gen. 3. 15. the seed of the woman shall bruise the Serpents head these few words comprehended the sum of all Law and Gospel and the Covenant therein contained Tit. 1. 2. in hope of eternall life which God that cannot lie promised before the world began 2 Tim. 1. 9. who hath saved us and called us with an holy câ—lling not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Iesus before the world began 2. This Covenant in a sense may be said to be made with us at the death of Christ because thereby all the benefits were merited and procured for us so this Covenant came to be confirmed by the death of the Testator Heb. 9. 16 17 18. Hence his blood is called the blood of the everlasting Covenant Heb. 11. 20. And the blood of the New Testament Mat. 26. 28. 3. This Covenant may be said to be made with us when God doth confirm upon us the benefits which are therein promised which are many I will instance but in three 1. There is the matter and blessing of the Covenant on Gods part in these words I will be their God and they shall be my people Ier. 31. 33. 2. In this Covenant Christ doth first give us grace imputed and then grace inherit all the benefits of the Covenant are the fruits and effects of Christs death 3. There is also the promise that God will work out the manifestation by which man shall see his interest in this Covenant and his right and title to all the blessings thereof Now if we would yet farther know when this Covenant was made with Christ for us let us weigh that text Ephes 1. 4. We are chosen in him before the foundation of the world Now if Election be before the foundation of the world sure it is then also by the same ground the Covenant or promise was made before the foundation of the world for the word doth prove the one as well as the other these promises were made first to Christ on our behalf before they are made to us because the whole work of our redemption and salvation was transacted between the Father and the Son before the foundation of the world and is afterwards revealed to us in due time as is evident Tit. 1. 2. 2 Tim. 19. The fourth thing to be enquired into is whether there be any conditions of this Covenant on our part and if so what those conditions are WHat this Covenant is with whom it was made and when it was made hath been laid down before now it follows in order to examine whether there be any conditions on our part and for answer unto which let me give my judgement viz. In this Covenant the Lord doth bequeath grace and glory on no other condition but the death of the Testator that is Christ Jesus as the first Covenant was built upon the righteousness of the first Adam So the second is built upon the righteousness of the second Adam and it will plainly appear in this Covenant of grace that there is no condition on our part to entitle us to the blessing of it it is true to our head Christ this Covenant was conditionall though to us it is free to him it was a Covenant of works hence Christ is called the Mediator Witness and Surety of this new Covenant and that this Covenant is without conditions on our part will appear more fully by these ensuing reasons 1. Because a Covenant of free grace cannot stand with conditions for if it had conditions it would not be of grace for grace is not grace if it be not every way free Rom. 11. 6. and if by grace then it is no more of works otherwise grace is no more grace c. 2. Because to give a thing freely and condiotinally are contradictions and to say there is conditions as to us is to ecclipse the grace of God and to open a door for vain man to boast So that the whole glory of our justificâ—tion and salvation ought to be given to the grace of God and to the merits of Christ If either of them did depend and were obtained by works and conditions performed by us it would not be of grace 3. Because that justification by grace without conditions on our part is the life and soul of the Gospel Galatians 1. 6 7. I marvell that you are moved from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel which is not another but there be some that would pervert the Gospel how can there be another Gospel and yet not another Gospel First it is not another because it is not possible there should be two Gospels yet another Gospel because men did turn it aside in point of justification 4. Because if any qualification or grace in us be a condition Faith must needs be the condition or one of the conditions but if faith should be the condition of the Covenant of grace then it differeth nothing from the Covenant of works for it is as hard a thing for a man to believe as it is to keep the whole Law Again Faith cannot be the condition of the Covenant because we obtain it by the same means we obtain all other good things else to wit by the righteousness of Jesus Christ 2 Pet. 1. 1. Ephes 1. 3. Rom. 8. 32. Ezek. 36. 25. Jer. 31. 31 34. Again Faith and repentance justification and sanctification are things purchased by Christ for us and freely given to us and are the effects and consequences of the Covenant as doth appear Ezek. 36. 27. Jer. 32. 38 39 40. Hos 2. 18 19 20. It is true Faith and repentance are means of our enjoying the comforts of the Covenant but not the conditions flowing out of the nature of the Covenant for every means is not a condition though every condition be a means so that we are not justified by faith as the condition of the Covenant but organically and instrumentall So that all the blessings
4. Consider the nature and cause of justification more particularly viz. Justification is when God meerly of his own grace and free will forgiveth our sins and pronounceth us just and innocent Though Gods Law was by us violated we are absolved from sin and punishment by the grace of God and merits of Christ apprehended by faith and so by him all that believe are justified in all things in which they could not be justified by the Law of Moses Act. 13. 39. Justification is an act undivided and all at once and so it differs from sanctification which is done by degrees all different eminent acts as justification sanctification renovation are but one act in God I shall close up what I have to say to this thing by desiring the reader seriously to consider these precious Scriptures all speaking to the same thing Rom. 4. 5. Now to him that workoth not but beleiveth on him that justifies the ungodly his faith is accounted for righteousness Tit. 3. 5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us Rom. 11. 6. And if By grace then it is no more of works otherwise grace is no more grace So having spoken to the nature of justification give me leave also to lay down the usefulness of it as to us and the benefits every beleiver have by it the greatest thing that we can desire next the glory of God is our own salvation and the sweetest thing we can here obtain is the assurance of our salvation In this life we cannot get higher then to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed all godly people shall enjoy a Heaven when they leave this earth some enjoy a Heaven whilst they are here on earth that Christians may enjoy two Heavens let them enquire after diligently seek for and cheerfully embrace this Doctrine of justification freely and only by the grace of God as the cause through Christ as the way the Holy-Ghost as the worker and evidencer 1. This Doctrine is as the foundation and basis of all Christian Religion 2. This Doctrine is the inlet of all spirituall divine peace and consolation 3. This is the root and spring of all Gospel obedience 4. This Doctrine is the great stop and bar to keep out all floods of errour 5. This Doctrine is the main support of a soul under all trialls 6. This is the great Doctrine by which Satans kingdom is undermined and overthrown 7. This is the Doctrine that Satan doth most war against either to pervert or corrupt 8. This Doctrine is the most hardest piece to be learned it being wholly supernaturall in every part of it above the reach of nature and all things in us do oppose it 1. This Doctrine is the foundation and basis of all Christian Religion as doth clearly appear by these severall instances 1. To begin at the bottom our Election is the Election of grace and according to the good pleasure of his will Ephes 2. 4 5. 2. Our Vocation is according to his grace 2 Tim. 1. 9. who hath saved us and called us with an holy calling not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace given us in Christ before the world began 3. Regeneration is of Gods own will Jam. 1. 18. Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth 4. Faith it self is the gift of God Philippians 1. 29. Ephes 2. 28. 5. Justification is freely by his grace Rom. 3. 24. and a free gift Rom. 5. 15. 6. Forgiveness of sins is according to the riches of his grace Ephes 1. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace 7. Eternall life is the gift of God Act. 15. 11. But we believe that through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved even as they Rom. 6. 23. The gift of God is eternall life through Jesus Christ our Lord. If any ask what is the nature of this free grace I answer grace in its proper notion signifies that free goodness favour or good will whereby God is moved to open the eyes of the blind mind and to let him know the love of God that passeth knowledge If any ask why the Doctrine of the Gospel is called by the name of grace I answer because it was only Gods free good will to bestow it upon those that did most want it If any ask farther why this free grace was ever bestowed at all or why one age or place of the world should receive is rather then another or why God should discover this great misterie was kept secret since the world began to those who were sinners of the Gentiles who served dumb Idols or why God should be found of them that sought him not or be made manifest to those that asked not after him I can give no other answer then that 1 Cor. 1. 29. that no flesh should glory in his presence or that in Mat. 11. 35 26. Even so Father because it seemeth good in thy sight Whoever builds and builds not upon this foundation doth build upon the sand and his house in a storm and tempest will fall Mat. 7. 27. or if any man build upon this foundation gold silver precious stones wood hay stubble the fire shall try every mans work of what sort it is see 1 Cor. 3. 10 11 12 13 14 15. 2. This Doctrine is the inlet of all spirituall divine peace to the soul There is a vein through which this peace that passeth understanding is conveyed to the soul which the men and women of the world know not Isa 59. 8. The way of peace they know not they have made to themselves crooked paths whosoever goeth therein shall not find peace Rom. 3. 17. the way of peace have they not known in a word no man or woman under heaven can know the way to this peace untill the Lord give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death and to guide their feet into the way of peace Luk. 1. 79. No man can receive retain and enjoy this peace of God unless he wait on God at the springs of peace 1. The first spring of peace is faith Rom. 5. 1. being justified by Faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ faith seeth Christ to be our peace Ephes 2. 14. and from him freely given to us John 14. 27. and the vein through which it runs to the soul is the vein of faith laying hold on and applying of the free grace of God to the soul Rom. 15. 13. 2. The second way of peace is this a man must not only know it where it is and believe it but he must stay himself wholly upon God in the constant expectation of the increase and supply of it Isa 26. 3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose heart is stayed on thee 3. The next vein or spring
rely upon his providence for all the means of this temporal life and to rest contented with that allowance which he shall think fit for us Psal 4. 11 12. Yea in this petition we beg health wealth food sleep rayment house c together with all the helps and means to attain them and that he would give us care and conscience to get those needfull things by lawfull means that labouring with our hands the thing that is good we may eat our bread Eph. 4. 28. 2 Thes 3. 12. 5. The fifth petition And forgive us our debts as even we forgive them that are debtors to us In this petition there is a frank and humble confession that we have sinned and stand guilty of original and actual transgressions and that there is no power in us to make satisfaction sor our sins for by the Law as by an obligation every man standeth bound to keep it holy and continually Deut. 27. 26. Gal. 3. 10. James 2. 10. So that the breach thereof even once and in the least point maketh us debtors presently as having forfeited our obligation So that no man can make amends unto God for it considering that whatsoever he doth after the breach is both imperfectly done and if it were perfect yet it is due by obligation of the Law and therefore cannot go for payment no more then a man can pay one debt with another 6. The sixt and last petition And lead us not into temptation but delievers from evil In this petition we pray that not only our sin may be pardoned but also that it may be mortified Rom. 6. 1 2. and that we may be either kept from temptation or preserved by his grace from being hurt thereby 1 Cor. 10. 13. 2 Cor. 12. 9. The effect of temptation without the special grace of God is extreamly evil to wit sin and damnation 1 Tim. 6. 9. Now seeing we cannot be tempted without the will of God Job 1. 10. nor resist without his power 2 Cor. 12. 9. If it be his blessed will that he would not let us fall into the one unless he preserve us in the other and that he would tie up Satan and restrain his malice and power or else make us wise to know and avoid his stratagems Of the World Flesh and Devil the three great enemies of man First of the World TAke the world in all its beauty bravery and glory and you shall find sorrow attend worldly joy danger attend worldly safety and loss attend worldly joy labours and tears attend worldly prosperity Where one thousand are destroyed by the worlds frowns ten thousand are destroyed by the worlds smiles it sings to us and sinks us it kisseth us and betrayeth us Let heaven be a mans object and the world will soon be a mans subject the fashion of this world passeth away why should we set our eyes upon that which is not heaven hath a foundation the earth hath none again worldly light is mixt with darkness Joy with sorrows pleasure with pain honour with dishonour riches with want wine with water honey with gall and our Sugar with wormwood and roses with prickles in a word worldly comforts entertained with great delight are seldom lost without exceeding great Sorrow and grief Of the Riches of this world THE good things of this world are not so absolutely given us but that God retains still a right to it and an interest in it and may demand it how and when he please And usually the worst of men have most of these outward things and the best of men have least of earth and most of heaven A man may be great and graceless with Pharaoh honourable and damnable with Saul rich and miserable with Dives A man may have enough of the world to sink him but he can never have enough of the world to save him A man may as soon fill a bag with wisdom and a chest with vertue or a circle with a tryangle as the heart of man with any thing here below therefore it is better to be gracious then great inwardly holy then outwardly happy the riches of this world although well gotten are but like the manna those that gathered less had no lack and those that gathered more had little or none to spare the consideration of this raysed up the spirits of those Saints Heb. 11. to triumph upon all the beauty bravery and glory of the world they having acquaintance with and an interest in a better and more durable riches these are uncertain riches For one storm at Sea one coal of fire one false friend or one unavised word may make a rich man a beggar and a prisoner altogether Oh how do riches hinder the actings of Faith upon God how do they interrupt our sweet communion with God how doth it abate our love to the people of God and cool our love to the things of God oh the deadness dulness and the barrenness that attend men having large possessions in this world and when they fall sick a crown of Gold cannot cure the head ach nor a velvet slipper the gout nor a chain of gold about the neck cannot take away the pain of the teeth Many times he that we account the richest man is the poorest man in the world VVE account him a poor man that doth want meat for his belly cloaths for his back and money in his purse and a house to put his head in and in this respect every man that is out of Christ although the most richest and honourablest man in the worlds account is but a poor man 1. He is a poor and beggarly man that hath no money in his purse now if your bags be full of gold and silver and your hearts empty of grace you are poor and beggarly in a Scripture account yea you are poor and blind and miserable and naked Rev. 3. 17. 2. He is a poor man that hath no meat to put in his belly but every man that is out of Christ doth not nor cannot feed upon that true manna the bread of life nor drink of that water of life John 6. 55. 3. He is a beggarly man that hath not an house to put his head in this is the case of all those that have no interest in Christ when death cometh they know not what to do nor where to go unless it be into a dungeon of darkness full of devils and damned Spirits Mat. 25. 41. 4. He is a poor man that hath no clothes to put on his back thus every man out of Christ is not only poor but naked too Rev. 3. 17. surely he is the poorest man in the world for he wanteth an interest in God Christ the Spirit and promises he wanteth peace with God and peace in conscience he wanteth acceptation and reconciliation he wanteth righteousness Justification and adoption and redemption he wanteth the pardon of sin and power against sin and freedom from the reign of sin he wanteth those riches that perish
but not such Spots as wicked men 2. Whereas it is said they had no spot or wrinkle in them it was as they were made comely by the comeliness that he had put upon them Ezek. 16. 14. And as they were covered with the robe of his own Righteousness Isa 61. 10. And so their Holiness and Righteousness was of the Lord Isa 57. 17. Hence he is in Jer. 23. 6. Called the Lord our Righteousness the nature of Grace and Sanctification in this life is but imperfect and growing unto perfection 1 Cor. 13. 9 10. Phil. 3. 12 13. Some Canaanites are still in the Land although we are entered into Canaan there is a Remnant of flesh as well as a Principle of the Spirit Gal. 5. 17. In this sense the Church is not actually purged but in purging from all defilements and at last there shall be no spot nor wrinkle nor any such thing Ephes 5. 26 27. So that compleat purity from sin and perfection is to be desired on earth yet reserved for heaven Rom. 6. 7. Ephes 5. 27. Heb. 12. 23. Rev. 21. 27. I have dwelt longer then I intended upon this question I must get it up again in being brief in the next We read Mat. 12. 31 32. The Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come Quest What that sin against the Holy Ghost is Answ The sin against the Holy Ghost doth comprehend and take in three things Knowledge in the mind Malice in the heart persecuting some known Truths and persevering therein for the proof of this let me instance in three Scriptures first Paul was filled with malice in his heart but although a scholar he had no knowledge in his mind as the text saith he had mercy on me because I did it ignorantly now Peter he had much knowledge in his mind but no malice in his heart and so although he sinned out of knowledge yet he sined not this sin but upon the crowing of the cock and Christs looking on him he repenteth now take the knowledge that was in Peter and joyn it with the malice that was in Paul and in both these persecute the truth and persevere therein this is that grand sin for that grand sin hath these three properties 1. Knowledge 2. Malice 3. Perseverance in a way of wickedness for finalness maliciousness and universalness must be taken joyntly together not severally one from another if by them we would describe the sin against the Holy Ghost for a man may fall knowingly and maliciously yet unless he fall finally and so make a defection from the truth not through fear or infirmity but out of hatred blasphemy and persecution if he come not up to this he hath not committed this sin for we find all the former sins to be pardonable It is reported of Julian that committed this sin that he was from his child-hood trained up in piety and attained to great knowledge and when he came to the Empire he carryed himself with much clemency but after this he came to deny Christ in France and turned a most bloody butcher and barbarous persecutor to poor Christians after this being either wounded in a battle or a blow from heaven he took a handfull of his blood and flung it up into the air and burst out into a most wicked experssion against Christ and said thou man of Galilee thou hast overcome me and so miserably dyed Quest Is not Election the cause of salvation and Reprobation the cause of damnation Answ Election and Reprobation are not in any sense the causes of salvation and damnation but Christ is the proper and meritorious cause of salvation and sin the proper and meritorious cause of damnation Election and Reprobation they are but precedent and precurrent acts or decrees and the causes of salvation and damnation they come in between the decrees and the execution thereof Quest How could Christ being but one make satisfaction for the sins of so many Answ How could father Adam being but one infect so many with original sin I hope you will grant that the second Adam was as well able to sanctifie as the first was to putrifie for though Christ was but one yet he was such a one as was greater and better then all and so able and sufficient to satisfie for all and to redeem all as well as he made all and the blood of such a one as Christ the son of God was of such an infinite value and price that it did surmount and surpass in dignity and worth all the souls in the world and his sufferings and merits were a sufficient satisfaction if intended and applyed to that end for to save so many worlds of men as there is men in the world Quest Did Christ fulfil the moral Law or ten commandments by his death Answ He did satisfie and perform for his people what the Law could require and exact from them and so became the end of the Law for righteousness or Justification to every one that believeth Rom. 10. 4. And so redeemed and freed them from the Curse of the Law Gal. 3. 13. By being made a Curse for them c. but it still remains in full force and vertue as a Rule of life as it is opened by Christ Mat. 5. There is some difference in the administration of it since Christs coming from the administration of it before his coming Quest Hath not Christ dyed for all men and tasted death for every man 2 Cor. 5. 15. 1 Tim. 2. 6. Answ The word All is not to be alwaies taken for every one for the word All hath many restrictions for this word All is very often taken in Scripture for all kinds as Paul exhorteth that supplication be made for all men that is some of all sorts and degrees as well Rulers as others 1 Tim. 2. 1. So it is said that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Aegyptians that is in all kind of wisdom so we read that Christ healed all diseases that is all manner of diseases All is sometimes restrained in Scripture to Gods peculiar people Christ saith I will draw all men to me John 12. 32. That is all men that the Father gave him John 6. 4 5. See Isa 54. 13.

These cannot be meant of all the wicked Again we read 1 Thess 2. 15. They please not God and are contrary to all men that is all good men Again we read Mat. 10. 22. Ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake that is of all wicked men by which we may see how the word All is taken variously and therefore it is to be limited and determined to persons and things according as the text will bear and no otherwise and when as it is said he tasted death for every

Make thy will in time of health and leave all things clear upon both books of shop and conscience that thou mayst have nothing to do but to dye and to meditate upon and to have faith in the precious promises which speak of rest joy peace and perfect happiness which is provided for us in heaven firmly believing that God will after this life give us all those things with himself which he hath promised as certainly as thou hast in thy will given to thy relations such and such things for them to enjoy and so exercise faith in the resurrection of thy body 1 Thes 4. 16. to have a spiritual body 1 Cor. 15. 43 44. to have a glorified body Phil. 3. 21. to have fulness of knowledge Ephes 3. 18 19. to have fulness of joy and pleasure Psal 16. 11. sâ—ch as shall be internal pure full spiritual and eternal where no misery hunger cold nakedness pain grief nor weariness but rest without labour in rest tranquility in tranquility content in contentment joy in joy variety in variety security in security eternity c. thus shalt thou that hast prepared for death aforehand dye sweetly whilst others that put off preparation to the last O what a hurry be they in Oh the anguish that their souls endure they apprehending God angry with them the Devil accusing them earth leaving them heaven refusing them hell claiming them soul and body parting friends weeping and themselves hopeless going they know not whither But to a godly man death is neither strange nor fearful unto him not strange because he dyed dayly not fearful because whilst he lived he was dead and his life was hid with Christ in God to dye then is nothing else but to rest from our labours and to go home to our fathers house unto the City of the living God the heavenly Jerusalem to an innumerable company of Angels to the general assembly and Church of the first born to God the Judge of all and unto the spirits of just men made perfect and to Jesus the Mediator of the New Testament whilst his body is sick his mind is sound for God maketh all his bed in his sickness Psal 41. 3. and as his outward man decayeth the inward man â—renewed day by day when the speech of his tongue saltereth the sighs of his heart speaks lowder unto God when the sight of the eyes faileth the Holy Ghost illuminates him inwardly with abundance of spiritual light sometimes he is saying with Paul I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ Phil. 1. 23. and with David Psalm 42. 2. As the heart panteth after the water brooks so panteth my soul after thee O God when shall come and appear before him come Lord Jesus come quickly So when the appointed time of his dissolution is come knowing that he goeth to his father and redeemer in the peace of a good conscience he saith Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace c. and so surrenders up his soul as it were with his own hands into the hands of his heavenly Father saying with David Into thy hands O Father I commend my soul for thou hast redeemed me O Lord thou God of truth and so saying with Stephen Act. 7. 59. Lord Jesus receive my spirit Thus far of the preparation for death with a taste of the sad condition of one dying out of Christ and the sweet condition of a Christian dying that is a member of Christ that did prepare for death before it came I had once intended here to have spoken to the sad condition of the ungodly after death resurrection and last judgement and also of the blessed condition of all that dye in the faith after death resurrection and last judgement but that will not fallin order here but towards the end of this book when we come to speak of the resurrection of the body and last judgement when Christ shall deliver up his Kingdom to his Father and God shall be all in all I shall proceed now to speak of the second coming of Christ in power and great glory c. The great and terrible day of the Lord is near dawning and the glory of all flesh staining the Kingdom of Christ appearing and the restitution of all things approaching this great Mysterie opened the grounds thereof examined the truth cleared and the ignorance of many in this Mysterie discovered THat very self-same Jesus which was born in Bethlem and suffered at Calvary even he shall come again the same Jesus not another Act. 1. 11. shall so come again as he was taken up viz. Visibly substantially apparently to all yea in the same manner yea it is added as you have seen him that we might not allegorize the matter we are kept to the very manner now for the probation of this truth we have 1. The testimony of all the Prophets 2. We have the testimony of all the Apostles 3. We have the testimony of Angels all bearing witness to this truth 1. We have the testimony of the Prophets see Acts 3. 21. Whom the heavens must receive untill the time of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the the world began but especially the Prophets since Samuel ver 24. yea and all the Prophets from Samuel and those that follow after as many as have spoken
dwelleth Righteousness beholding and being filled with the fruition of the glorious presence of God and of the Lamb Jesus Christ in the company of innumerabl Angels and Saints 1 Cor 13. 10. Psal 16. 11. Rev. 3. 21. 2 Pet. 3. 13. Psal 17. 15. 1 Tim. 4. 17. Heb. 12. 22. O what variety of joyes may be considered in the glorification of man in the delights of heavenly mansions and in the blessed society of the Saints but chiefly in the beholding of God the body glorified the soul shall be far more prefect then it was in the state of innocency for in it shall be understanding without error light without darkness wisdom without ignorance reason without obscurity the Lord shall in the sight and hearing of all world pronounce unto his servants Matthew 25. 34. Come ye blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world 1. Come ye here is our union and communion with the Trinity 2. Blessed here is our absolution from all sins and our endowments with all happiness 3. Of my father here is the Author from whom proceeds our felicity 4. Inherit here is faith ending in fruition and the promises in possession 5. The Kingdom behold our birth right according to grace 2 Tim. 1. 9. 6. Prepared See Gods fatherly care for his chosen John 14. 2. 7. From the foundation of the world O the free and eternal love of God in Christ having made this introduction let me crave leave of thee reader to speak more particularly of the most glorious state of a Christian in heaven after the sentence of absolution at the last day of judgement and to this point I shall rather lisp then speak being not able to conceive much less to describe that most excellent bliss and eternal wait of glory but we may take a scantling thereof thus the Lord in his word doth set forth to our capacity the glory of our eternal life after death in eight things 1. Their bodies shall shine as the brightness of the Sun 2. The soul shall be far more perfect then it was in the state of innocency 3. Consider the place where we shall be and that is in the third heaven 4. Consider whose presence we shall enjoy Father Son and and holy Spirit Saints and Angels c. 5. In this sâ—ate we shall know one another 6. In this state we shall speak one to another 7. Consider the variety of joy that there shall be in heaven 8. Consider the duration and continuance of this blessed state 1. Their bodies shall shine as the brightness of the Sun in the firmament like the glorious body of Christ The Glory of a thousand Suns made into one will be but as sack-cloath to that wherein Christ shall appear in mans nature he being in the Glory of his Father Mat 16. 27. And we shall be like him 1 John 3. 2. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of their father as appears in this Scripture Mat. 13. 43. 2. The soul shall be far more perfect then it was in the state of innocency sor in it shall be understanding without errour Light without darkness wisdom without Ignorance reason without obscurity memory without oblivion the Will also shall be without perversness joy without sorrow pleasure without pain In the slate of innocency there was in man a possibility not to Sin but in the state of Glory there shall be no possibility to sin In a word both body and soul in heaven shall be in such a blessed state that neither our tongue can express it nor our mind conceive it The soul shall be more happy in being present with Jesus Christ in heaven then if it had been present with Adam in the state of innocency Adam was instated only in an earthly paradise but now thou being with Christ art instated in an everlasting Kingdom Again Adam though pleased in a state of innocency yet he was liable to lose that blessed slate and did lose it though he were a perfect creature but by Christ we are instated in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken or lost Again When Adam was made by God in innocency he enjoyed only the society of beasts on the earth and birds of the air but when Christ brings a soul to heaven God the Father Son and holy Ghost Angels and Saints shall be his companions 3. Consider the place where the Saints shall be after the Judgement and that is in the third heaven we read of Saints departed that they see the face of God They that are in the third heaven are in the presence of God the Saints departed are in the third heaven they are in paradise Luke 23. 43. which is the third heaven 2 Cor. 12. 2 4. The place of the blessed is usually known by the name of the third heaven the third heaven is a shining body created immediately of God the throne of his special presence and of the gracious manifestation of his perfections and the habitation of the blessed both Angels and men The whole Region of the air unto the Moon is in Scripture called the first heaven from the Moon to the highest stars inclusively the second heavâ—n That which is above these the place of happiness is the thiâ—d heaven 2 Cor. 12. 2. This third heaven is called a house not made with hands 2 Cor. 5 A City whose makâ—r and builder is God Heb. 11. 10. The City of the living God Hâ—b 12. 22. This is Châ—ists fathers house John 14. 2. Paradise Luke 23 43. Heaven the Heaven of Heavens 1 Kin. 8. 27. The woâ—ld 〈◊〉 this is the great City of the gâ—eat King he measured with the reed twelve thousand â—urloâ—gs the length and the bredth and the height of it are equal Rev. 21. 16. It is the Court of God and Christ wherein are habitations for in numerable company of Saints and Angels John 14. 2. Heb. 12. 22 23 24. This heaven of heavens hath twelve foundations Rev. 21. 14. The matter of the building of the wall of it was of Jasper and the City was pure gold like unto clear glass Rev. 21. 18. the form four square ver 16. Twelve thousand furlongs that is fifteen hundred English miles square the gates are in number twelve made of twelve pearls every several gate was of one pearl ver 21. Situate East West North and South three looking every way ver 13. Having ingraven upon them the names of the twelve Tribes of Israel and twelve Angels for the keepers of them the streets are of pure gold ver 21. It s Temple is God and the Lamb its Light the glory of God and the Lamb its Inhabitants are the Lords people ver 24. It s water a pure river of Life Chap. 22. 1. Its fruits are the fruits of the tree of Life ver 2. In a word there is no place so glorious by creation so beautiful with delectation so rich in possession so comfortable for habitation
love thereof they willingly parted with much of their earthly goods and possessions to lay up treasure in heaven Abraham and Sarah left their own country and possessions to look for a City whose maker and builder is God Heb. 11. 10 15 16. David preferreth one day in this place before a thousand elsewhere Psal 84. 10. Elias earnestly besought the Lord to receive his soul into his Kingdom and went willingly though in a fiery Chariot King 19. 4. Saint Paul having once seen heaven continually desiâ—eth to be dissolved that he might be with Christ Phil. 1. 23. Saint Peter having espyed but a glimpse of eternal glory in the mount wished that he might dwel there all the dayes of his life Mat. 17. 4. saying Master it is good for us to be here c. Christ a little before his death prayeth his Father to receive him into that excellent glory Joh. 17. 5. And the Apostle witnesseth Heb. 11. 2. that for the joy which was set before them they endured the cross and despised the shame 1 Pet. 5. 4. and when the chief Shepheard shall appear ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away c. this eternal condition admits of no change or alteration decay or consumption waste or diminution mans eternal condition admits of no comparison revocation or conclusion c. What use we may make of all these precious things 1. EXcellent arguments may be drawn to pres-Christians to a holy life 2 Pet. 3. 11. see ing then that all these things must be dissolved what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness and ver 14. Wherefore seeing ye look for such things give diligence that ye may be found in him in peace It is our duty to live in a continual expectation of the coming of the Lord Jesus with our loins girt and our lamps burning for blessed is that servant whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing 2. Consider that here is a fountain opened for Christian comfort and ground for patience in all troubles that there shall be an end a Christians hope shall not be cut off if in this life only we had hope we were of all men most miserable 1 Cor. 15. 19. But here lyes the comfort and patience of true Christians theywait for another world and they know it is a just thing with God to give them rest after their labours 2 Thes 1. 9. and a crown after their combate 2 Tim. 4. 8. and after their long Pilgrimage an everlasting habitation 2 Cor. 5. 1. Be patient saith the Apostle and settle your hearts for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh James 5. 8. 2 Pet. 2. 9. When they that have sown in tear shall reap in joy Psal 126. 5. 3. Consider that assurance of that blessed state may be attained in this life we know faith Paul 2 Cor. 5. 1. That if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed we have a building not made with hands eternal in the heavens these things saith John I have written unto you that ye may know that ye have eternal life 1 John 5. 13. I am sure saith Job 19. 25 26 27. that my Redeemer liveth and he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth and though after my skin worms destroy this body yet shall I see God in my flesh whom I my self shall see and mine eyes shall behold when I awake saith David I shall be satisfied with thy Image Psal 17. 15. 4. The consideration of this should provoke us to be such as may be made meet for this inheritance of the Saints in light and to endeavour to attain and retain the earnest of the Spirit whence we may be alwaies able to say we are confident and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord 2 Cor. 5. 8. and to fill the soul with strong consolation against the sufferings of life and the fear of death and to work an answerable conversation that whether absent or present we may so walk as we may be accepted of him 5. The consideration of this should put us upon a patient waiting for and a longing expectation of our change which draweth on a pace and not to put that off as most do to the last year and when that is come to the last moneth of that year and then to the last week of that moneth and then to the last day of that week and then to the last hour of that day and then to the last minute of that hour and so time shall be no more and we shall not find repentance although we seek it with tears 6. Consider that the cause of our salvation and so of our glorious condition is Gods meer love and favour without any merit of ours Luke 12. 32. It is our Fathers good pleasure to give us a Kingdom Joh. 3. 16. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son Ephes 2. 8. By grace we are saved through faith and not of our selves it is the gift of God Rom. 6. 23. everlasting life is the gift of God and though eternal life be called a reward yet it is not of merit but of mercy let this be grounded in our hearts that the Kingdom of heaven is not a stipend of servants but an inheritance of Sons which they only obtain that lay hold on his mercy Romans 5. 8. compared with 1 Tim. 6. 12. and 19. 2. Now as hath been said as the love of God is the cause of our salvation fo Jesus Christ is the way Joh. 10. 9. Joh 14. 6. 3 The holy Spirit is the guide in that way as in Joh. 16. 13. 4. The Scriptures of truth is the rule Gal. 6. 16. Isa 8. 20. 5. The evidence of this salvation is faith Heb. 11. 1. It is true the instrumental cause offering and proclaiming salvation is the Gospel but the instrumental receiving and applying it is faith and the cause sealing it inwardly to our souls is the Spirit of God the external and instrumental seals thereof are the two confirming Ordinances Baptism and the Lords Supper 6. The anchor of this salvation is hope Heb. 6. 19. 7. The effects of this salvation is love to God because he loved us first and a holy conversation if ye love me saith Christ keep my commandments and they that have believed in Christ must be careful to maintain good works which are found and required in the way to the Kingdom but they are not the cause of reigning Of the end of the world THE consequents of the last judgement is life eternal in heaven or hell and the end of the world having finished the former let me point to the latter and I have finished what I intended we read Mat. 24. 3. that Peter James John and Andrew Mark 13. 3. came to Christ and desired him to satisfie them in these three questions 1.
