Cimmerian darknesse and euerlasting destruction To saue Israel to passe Iordan with the staffe of his crosse to redeeme Sion and with a few drops of bloud to purge the whole earth and to binde vp the fractures thereof Yea saith that good Bishop of Nazianzum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as runnet curdles milke so doth the bloud of Christ vnite and conioyne and cement and coagulate as it were the whole companie of Gods elect in one fellowship and communion to the praise of the glorie of his grace This is it that doth magnifie the Lord that heauen is not able to containe him before the triumph of his crosse he might haue bene held in a stable or a manger but now heauen must be enlarged and the gates thereof set wide open for the entrance of his glorie Lift vp your heads ô ye gates and be ye lift vp ô yee euerlasting doores and the King of glorie shall come in Who is able to expresse the wonderful celebrity of his magnificent greatnesse There is a voyce heard and the Saints of God are conuerted by the trumpet of his word to come forth and behold the solemne coronation of his victorious maiestie Egredimini filiae Sion Come forth ye daughters of Sion and behold King Solomon in his crowne It was a crowne though it were of thornes when hee made the crosse his throne and a reed his scepter Egredimini filiae Sion Come forth yee daughters of Sion and behold King Solomon in his crowne O let not those dead flies of Iewish infidelitie corrupt the sweetnesse of this pretious ointment or taint the sauour of his incomparable glorie Mused blasphemie saith Bernard these dead flies are blasphemous obloquies of heathens and infidels that stumble at the weakenesse of his flesh and are scandalized with the humilitie of his passion that tread vnder foot the bloud of his crosse and insult ouer the miserie of his voluntarie sufferings much like Tiberius in Sueton Qui Germanici facta eleuabat that snarled at the greatnesse of Germanicus and traduced his noble acts as vaine and friuolous Whereas wee know Christs honour is great in our saluation and that whatsoeuer he endured was but dispensatiue as when one man goes downe into a pit that he may helpe another out or a Physition tasts a potion that he may temper it for the sick by the greatnes of his loue and the bowels of his compassion What then shall I say but as the Apostle doth our vncomely parts haue more comelinesse on neither are wee ashamed of our God though he were crucified that was his glorie and will be our felicitie O Lord if thy shame bee glorious what is thy glory How shall wee be aduanced by the strength of thy power that are so dignified by the weakenesse of thy sufferings It is the honour of Christ to saue vs let it be the honour of Christians to serue him Yea and as Basil speakes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the very top and crowne of our glorie and reioycing When the wise men brought myrrhe they knew hee should die like a man but when they brought incense they knew he was to be honoured as a God Take heed then I beseech you lest at any time the weaknesse of his manhood abolish that honour which is due vnto his Godhead If yet it be obscure hee will proceed and ride on by the declaration of his power and the amplification of his kingdome which is the second thing that is here promised of our Sauiour 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ride on for the word of truth He rode on the cloud of his flesh when he came into the world hee shall ride on the clouds of heauen when he comes to iudgement He rode on an Asse the embleme of meekenesse when he went to Ierusalem whether he do so in the host when he is carried aloft by sacrificing Priests and ridiculous shauelings bee ye Iudges Iohn in the Apocalyps speakes of a white horse the puritie of his righteousnesse and of a red horse the seueritie of his iustice he fits the one in the long animitie of patience he fits the other in the execution of his vengeance Sometimes he rides vpon the Church for shee is likened to a troope of horses in the chariots of Pharoh sometimes on the Cherubins for there hee is aduanced by the excellencie of their knowledge But if euer he sate vpon a colt it was when the Disciples spread their garments that wee might be sure he will not abide the skittish wildnesse and vntamed peruersnesse of our depraued nature and coltish dispositions vnlesse we cloath our soules with the pretious robes of diuine grace and Apostolicall holinesse Yet in all this he neither rides backe or round backe with the Apostate or round in the mill of profest wickednesse or resolued impietie or in the maze of inextricable thoughts or confused distractions His motion is directly progessiue as a Giant in his course or a Bridegroome from his chambers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ride on for the word of truth till thy horses get the hill and thy Chariots bring saluation nay till thou hast placed the Kings daughter in a vesture of gold at thy right hand and made her as a Queene Paramount with the Sunne ouer her head and the Moone vnder her feet this is well implyed in the Chalde paraphrase 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vpon the throne of Maiestie and the horses of thy kingdome which the Septuagint reades 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 rule and haue Dominion be exalted and take vnto thy selfe the royalties of a King For it is not enough that Christ should purchase an heritage with his bloud vnlesse he bring it vnto glorie The stone which Daniel saw cut without hands did not onely breake the image of gold and of siluer and of iron and of clay but prooued a great mountaine and filled the earth with the immensitie of its presence So is it with the power of Christ hee must not onely bruise the Nations of the earth with a rod of iron or say with the Prophet Iudah is my lawgiuer Moab is my washpot ouer Edom will I cast my shoe ouer the Philistims will I triumph But hee must erect a kingdome of his owne and spread his banner ouer it till he make the beautie thereof as Carmel and the glorie thereof as Lebanon If he be risen from death he must ascend on high if he be gone on high he must poure forth his Spirit that he may direct and gouerne protect and aduance his Church aboue the crowne of pride and the malice of the aduersarie Praeclarè administrans quod facilè est adeptus managing that with honour and dignitie which he got with power and facilitie These are the steppes and degrees of his royall pace and maiesticke procession whilest hee comes leaping ouer the hils and skipping ouer the mountaines from mount Tabor where he was transfigured to mount Caluarie where hee was crucified from mount Caluarie where he was crucified to mount
