A49289	An alarm to slumbring Christians, or the parable of the wise and foolish virgins and of the talents, sheep and goats; being a plain and practical exposition of the whole XXV chapter of St. Matthews gospel, calling upon all professors to a strict and constant watchfulness, lest their Lord at his certain and second coming, find them not ready, but with their lamps gone out. By Samuel Loveday	Loveday, Samuel, 1619-1677.; Gosnold, John, 1625?-1678.	1675 (1675)	Wing L3231; ESTC R216910	188,072	322

Congression or gathering that will be unto Him and before His Throne a this His second Coming exprest by a figure All Nations 3. We have the curious and exact Segregation and strict Division that CHRIST will make of this vast number into two Parts Sheep and Goats 4. We have the Examination Tryal and final Sentence upon both Numbers according to their Works That which lieth first in order before us is the first of these Heads which is a third Relation of Christ's second Coming We had two before in this Chapter first His Coming under the capacity of a Bridegroom Secondly as a Lord or Nobleman and here as a glorious King on his Throne Now we have in this Relation of Christ's second Coming four Circumstances considerable 1. The Capacity that He then comes in which is as Son of man 2. The Glory He shall come in here called emphatically His Glory 3. The great Attendants He shall have in this day all the Holy Angels 4. That in this Appearance of His He shall place Himself upon a Glorious Throne Of these briefly in order 1. He comes as Son of man which is not an empty Epithet Jesus Christ is near an hundred times in Scripture stiled Son of man not half so many Son of God and as often is this title applied to him upon his second Coming as upon any other account See Mat. 16.27 28. Luke 18. chap. 19. chap. 22. 21.27 36 and many times more So it is plain that when Christ comes again He comes as Son of Man That Jesus Christ shall assume this N●me with respect to this day of His Coming is so plain that it is needless to multiply Scriptures to prove it But that which will be more needful to insist upon is to enquire Why it may be thought he doth so often render himself under this capacity First He is stiled Son of man to shew the property and reality of his Person Son of Man and Man is the same That He shall come as a Man in this day see Act. 17.31 He shall judge the World by that Man whom he hath appointed Here he is called a Man who in our Text is called Son of Man Christ would have us know that in all His O●●ices to us ward He is and acts in them as the Son of Man as a Man in his Preaching and Conversing on Earth In His Death a Man In His Resurrection a real Man Act. 24. Feel me saith Christ a Spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have Joh. 20. Act. 7.56 Stephen saw Him so I see the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God in His Mediatorship 1 Tim. 2.5 There is one Mediator the man Christ Jesus In His coming again He is a real Man therefore it is recorded as to His Coming Rev. 1.7 Every Eye shal see Him So that He may well by himself be stiled Man or Son of Man So Daniel fore●aw Him in a Vision of His second Coming Dan. 7.13 He shal appear as the Son of Man that is real substantial Man 2dly He is called Son of Man to set out the foundation of his Exaltation which was founded in his great Humility For Son of Man is a title of dim●●t on a lessening title an ●p●het to set ou● Meanness Lowness That it is often used see Num. 23.19 God is not a Man that he should lie where it is used by way of dimmution So it is used Job 26.6 Son of man which is a worm So Psal 8. Wh● is Man or the Son of Man Ezekiel is near an hundred times called the Son of Man and as the judgment of the Learned is it was to humble him Ezekiel was a Man wrapt up in the Visions of God and he might be apt to think of himself above a Man he lived so much in Heaven as that he might be ready to think he was above the Earth and not of the Earth therefore God in this stile minds him often of his original Son of Man It is recorded of some proud men who would derive their pedegree from the Gods or from the Stars as Alexander the Great would be called the Son of Jupiter the Son of the Sun he did think it below him to be call'd Son of Man In our Lord 's stiling himself Son of Man He bears in his mind his former low estate which gave Him a right to this his Glory as the Apostle in Phil. 2.5 lays the foundation of Christ's Glory in his Humiliation and we have an eminent place to this purpose Joh 5.27 And ●ath given him Authority to execute Judgment because he is the Son of Man This gives Him right to this his Glory 3dly Son of Man to set out the suitableness of Christ to have converse and followship with Men which makes society with Him very desirous and the contrary very burdensom Therefore Israel begg'd of God not to speak Himself in his Glory but to speak unto them by a Man like themselves and it was reckoned a mercy to them when God did so condescend to them in it Deut. 11. We are Sons of Men therefore cannot be capable of communion with the Son of God 4thly Son of Man to shew that he shall be glorisied in the same body that he suffered in as his visage was more marred than any Isa 52. so his visage shall be more glorious Christ shall have a glorious Body Phil. 3. this was figured out in the Transfiguration Mat. 16. 5thly Son of Man as he is the second Adam so called 1 Cor. 15. By Man came Death by Man came the Resurrection of the Dead Christ triumphs and is victorious conquers and recovers all that the first man lost These Circumstances considered it is not an empty title when Christ calleth himself in his second Coming Son of Man The use of this Consideration Use Doth Christ appear as Son of Man or real Man● Then this may serve for instruction against those va●● and airy imaginary Conceits as to Christ's Coming Many that conceit his coming only in the Spirit an● invisible do not take notice that he is Son of Man i● this his glorious Coming This Doctrine however understood in our dayes is a feeding nourishing Doctrine Christ teacheth his Disciples to eat ha● Flesh and drink his Blood Joh. 6.51 to 58. which in effect is to have our Faith conversant upon the reality of Christ that he had Flesh and Blood as we Qu. But how doth this nourish I ans It informs us and satisfieth us that Christ took and carries our nature on him Heb. 2.16 17. See how the Apostle applies this Consideration as nourishment to the Hebrew-Church 2. Christ by this assuming our Nature puts himself into a capacity to be a Sacrifice for us as St. Peter speaks 1 Pet. 2.24 He bare our sins in his own Body on the Tree Heb. 10. A Body hast thou prepared me Christ overcame as Son of Man both the World and the Devil This may be a ground
