out-cry the voice of our sins the high Priest was a type of Christ Numb 16. He must have on his frontlet Holiness to the Lord as one which bears the iniquity of the holy things of the Children of Israel representing the holy one of the Lord and standing in the person of Christ Moses saith when there was wrath gone out from the Lord unto Aaron ver 46. Take a censer and put fire therein from off the Altar and put on incense and go quickly unto the Congregation and make an atonement for them for there is wrath gone out the plague is begun So when the wrath is gone out the High Priest comes and offers up himself a sweet incense acceptable unto God And Aaron took as Moses commanded and came into the midst of the Congregation and behold the plague was begun among the people and he put incense and made an atonement for the people When wrath is come out from the Almighty and his Army is sent out for to destroy the Rebels now our High Priest stands between the living and the dead and offers up himself an obligation to Almighty God to make peace Look to the case of Balaam when the people had committed fornication Phineas executed judgment wherefore the Lord saith Numb 25.12 Phineas hath turned away my wrath from the people and if that one act of Phineas his zeal for the Lord in killing the Fornicators before the Congregation if this I say appeased Gods wrath for the whole Congregation how much more doth our Phineas who hath fulfilled all righteousness whom the zeal of Gods house had eaten up He is nothing but zeal it self and all that he doth in our name unto his father is for our good How much more shall Christ pacifie Gods wrath who hath received the gash of Gods Sword upon his own body and would not have himself spared that he might do it As Jonah was three dayes and three nights in the Whales belly so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth Mat. 12.40 There is a mighty storm and Jonah is cast out into the Sea presently the storm ceaseth so Christ having suffered for us there is peace the storm is over Now follows in the next place in the Text By whom we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoyce in the hope of the glory of God These are the two privileges that a justified man hath he hath a gracious access unto God Suppose he be in a fault as who is not if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Fa●her Jesus Christ the righteous These things have I written saith the Apostle that you sin nat but if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father c. This is the state of a justified man though he do by his relapses provoke God yet he is in the state of a subject though he be a disobedient subject yet a subject not a foreigner as before but now ye that were not a people are become the children of the living God Rom. 9.26 A child of God in the midst of rebellion no sooner repenteth but he is sub misericordia as soon as he is in the state of grace he is under God's protection he is no stranger and as soon as he converteth unto his heavenly father though he hath his blood about his ears and is in his rags yet he may with an humble boldness come to God By Jesus Christ he may come boldly to the throne of grace that he may find help in time of need Heb. 4.16 The Apostle in Ephes. 2.18 sets down twice the great privileges Christians have For through him we both have an access by one Spirit unto the Father It is Christ which makes the way To have a friend at the Court is a great matter especially when a man hath need of him Christ is gone before us and he lives for ever to make intercession for us and we need no other Mediator thus he bespeaks his Father Father this is one of mine that I shed my blood for one of those that thou gavest me I beseech thee have pity upon him and I beseech thee give him audience Ephes. 3.12 By him i. e. through Christ we have access by one Spirit unto the Father in whom we have boldness by the faith of him and access with confidence I go not now doubting unto God I prefer my suit with boldness Mark the Apostle St. James If any man want wisdom or any other thing let him ask it of God that gives to all men liberally and upbraideth not It is otherwise with men when one hath done a great man wrong and comes to desire a favour at his hands Oh Sir saith he do you not remember how you used me at such a time or in such a place that he is presently upbraided with it is cast in his dish but it is not so with God he gives liberally and upbraids no man so there is a free and a bold access with faith and confidence by whom we have boldness and access let him not doubt or waver that is a notable place here is bold access by faith unto God and by that we may be assured of whatever we ask if it be forgiveness of sins we may be sure they are forgiven if we ask in faith we may be assured By the way take notice of the folly of the Papists who think that a man can have no confidence or assurance that his sins are forgiven This is our confidence that if we ask any thing according to his will he heareth us Now is it not according to his will to ask forgiveness of our sins Doth not he enjoyn us to do it Therefore what infidelity is it not to be assured of it And what impudency is it in them to go about to cut off that which is the whole comfort of a Christian The assurance of his salvation Thus it is indeed with those that have no feeling nor confidence as those who are in hell think there is no heaven and they who teach such uncomfortable Doctrine can receive no comfort farther than the Priest giveth it them It 's true there is not true assurance but in the true Church but there it may be found And as I began with sowing in tears so I would end with reaping in joy that is the next thing in the Text for which I pass over the other part of it I begin with humiliation but end with joy and not only that joy which we shall have in the Kingdom of heaven but on earth while we have these things but in hope and expectation A man that would reckon up his estate doth not only value what he hath for the present but he reckons his reversions also what he shall have after such a time what will come to him or his heirs God's children they have a brave reversion glory and honour and a Kingdom It is your Father's good pleasure to give you a
