particulars by which he eminently makes known the intireness of his indeared love to his Saints and by the same ways I shall shew you by and by that the Saints of God 〈◊〉 express their love to Jesus Christ. 1. First of all he discovers and makes known his love to his Saints in denying himself of all the glory he had with his Father in leaving those Regions above that he might come down and gather his Saints together that he might redeem them out of the hands of Hell and deliver them out of the House of their Prison and bondage Rev. 1. 6 Vnto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood he gave his heart blood for us Phil. 2. 5 6 7 Who being in the form of God thought it no robbery to be equal with God Gods fellow coequal with the Father What did he do why He made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a Servant and was made in the likeness of men And being found in fashion as a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the cross Was not here love Greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend yet this was greater love for Christ laid down his life for his enemies Rom. 5. 10. 2. He manifests his intire love to his Saints in the delight he hath in their communion and in fellowship with them Christ is never better pleased or more delighted than when his Saints are in communion and fellowship with him When and Where-ever two or three are gathered together in my name there is my heaven here I delight to dwell If you read over this 8th Chapter of Proverbs it the 31 verse you shall see the â—edundancy of Christs love to his people before ever he had a people they were his contemplative delight that he should come down and be with them and give himself for them Rejoycing in the habitable part of his earth and my delights were with the sons of men Do but read Cant. 7. 5 and there you shall see how the Spouse her self takes notice of the delight her Beloved takes in communion with her The King says she is held or bound as in the Margin in the Galleries What are the Galleries why they are the Ordinances wherein he promises to meet his Saints the King will sit at his round Table he will walk with them in the Galleries in private communion he is held or bound there That is he takes so much pleasure and delight he is taken so much with the beauty he hath put upon his Saints that to speak it with reverence he cannot tell how to go from them and leave them as a man with his best beloved is bound as it were with chains of love 3. And lastly Christ manifests his love to his Saints in the earnest longing he hath to have them with him in his glory When any one sinner is converted it is said there is joy in heaven the King of Saints rejoyceth all the Angels and Saints sing together there is I say joy in Heaven when one sinner comes in Christs sends forth his Angels to entertain them and to bring them into his Fathers presence nay he leads them in himself In Joh. 14. 2 3 Christ tells his Disciples In my Fathers house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto my self that where I am there yâ—â— may be also And you may read at your leisure that ravishing Chapter Joh. 17 and if you read it with understanding and your souls go with your eyes be it spoken with reverence to such a glorious God and King as he is you will perceive that he seems not satisfied with his own glory at the right hand of the Majesty on high without the Company of his dear-bought Saints that he hath bought with his own blood Read especially the 22 23 24 verses And the glory that thou gavest me I have given them that they may be one even as we are one Vers. 23 I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me Vers. 24 Father I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world Then Christs Mediatory Kingdom will be compleated and the shame and sufferings that were undergon by him will be answered when he hath gathered his Saints to himself to behold his glory 3. And now I shall shew you the second part if we turn the Table then we shall see that the Saints of God in their measure and according to their strength those that are truly such do love the Lord Jesus with all their hearts and you find it not thus with you you have reason to be jealous of and to suspect your selves I say the true Saints of God do love the Lord Jesus with all their hearts Whom having not seen ye love iâ— whom though now you see him not yet believing ye rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of glory 1 Pet. 1. 8. Whom having not seen ye love with such a love as raises your hearts it is Amor vulnerans ligans c. a love as one says that wounds that strikes them to the very heart a love that binds their souls to Christ which made the Spouse cry out Cant. 2. 5 Stay me with flagons comfort me with apples for I am sick of love The truth is you may imagine that it is an Hyperbolical expression but indeed there is no expression that can fully set it out and therefore you see how the Spouse hangs as it were on the lips of Christ Cant. 1. 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth for thy love or loves is better than wine And every Saint while he is in the wilderness in his Wilderness-state leans on his beloved What would a Saint have in any condition None but Christ Christ is his All in all 4. And therefore in the second place I shall shew you That the Saints of God do mutually and reciprocally express and discover their love to Jesus Christ in their measure in their degree as he makes known his love to them As 1. They express their love to Christ in denying all for him Christ left a Kingdom and all the glory of his Fathers House But alas the Saints of God they have nothing to leave in comparison of what he left They that leave Houses Lands Mannors Kingdoms for Christ all this is little I say in comparison of what Christ left for them but the truth is whatever the Saints have all that they have they will lay at
Relations of this deceased Saint to let them see how little cause they have to mourn and to afflict their souls but the Lord who knows how to speak comfort infinitely better hath been with their hearts Only let not the Husband grieve and say Ah! what a dear Wife have I lost nor the Children say what a dear Mother have we lost But rather 1. Consider What she hath found She hath found that which â—he hath been seeking all her days â—he hath found that God that Christ that Heaven that Bosom and those embraces that she waited and long'd for 3. Consider You will never be happy till you be where she is gone before you 3. Consider It is but a very little while and you shall see her again as Augustine comforted his Italica concerning her dead Husband and let you and I and all of us mind our work and be upon our march towards Heaven taking our encouragement from the Text where the Lords makes a proclamation of Grace I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me FINIS POSTCRIPT NOW though the Husband of our Deceased Friend has been somewhat averse from publishing any thing of her own yet being at last prevail'd upon I shall commend to the Reader some particular Experiences of the Lords early dealing with her soul as I have found them written by her own hand First I find this Position laid down by her in her own Book viz. That very many Scriptures do imply a possibility that a believer may know that he is elected of God and that his election is of free grace through our Lord Jesus Christ unto holiness which shall end in glory Phil. 2. 12 13. 2 Cor. 13. 5. 2 Pet. 1. 10. with very many more which I shall forbear to mention On which ground she proceeds to take a particular account of her own spiritual estate as follows IT hath been much upon my thoughts to write some of those Scriptural Experiences which I have found and received great comfort in from the Word of God being as I judg brought home to my soul by the Spirit And being now past the Fortieth year of my age not knowing how soon the Lord may call having always had a desire to be on my watch that I may be found ready and willing when ever my Lords time is This Mercy I have been begging many years I can truly say for some Months past I have had no rest in my spirit till I began to write these things and after fasting and prayer by my self while in doubt what to do fearing the falsness of my own heart I was encouraged by a Sermon that I heard on these words in Psal. 77. 1â— I will remember the works of the Lord surely I will remember thy wonders of old Where was much pressed the duty of Christians To relate what God had done for them And out of the longing desire I have for the good of you my dear Little ones that you may value the precious Word of God wherein your Mother hath found so much comfort you two that is SA and MA. are the only remnant that God hath spared and blessed be God that hath left us as to this day a Berry or two You are the children of many prayers the Lord grant you may be blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus and make you serviceable while you live and fit you for an inheritance among the Saints in light In order to that I beg you in the name and fear of God that you highly prize the Word of God and every Ordinance of Jesus Christ appointed in his Word I would say with David Come my Children hearken unto me and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul Psal. 34. 11. Psal. 66. 16. I have found the Word read and preached yea many a Scripture that I could not remember I read or heard preached on yet it hath pleased my gracious God to send many a word to relieve and comfort my soul his word hath been to me a convincing word a reproving an instructing and a very comforting word and that my soul knoweth by great experience I intend if the Lord permit and will send his Spirit to bring things to my remembrance without that I can do nothing to set down the kindness of the Lord from my Childhood that was pleased to begin with me be-times O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledg of God c. Rom. 11. 33 34 35 36. I can remember while a Girl at school about the age of nine or ten I took great delight in reading the stories in the Scripture which did much affect me Afterward I was more taken with the New Testament that did reveal more of Christ to me Then I began to pray as I was able I do not remember that I ever did make use of any written or printed form The first sin that I remember troubled me was telling my Father a lye and it had this aggravation with it that he told me If I would tell him how it was he would believe me rather than my Brothers and Sisters and out of fear of them I said as they did but with a very trembling heart which much troubled me some years after this when I begun to hearken to the word Preached where I heard that sin set out I was much affected and mourned much under the sense of sin seeing a burden in it I desired to look after a remedy The first Minister that I remember I hearkned to was Mr. H. of Kensington where my Father was in the summer I did then begin to understand my state by nature how under the wrath and curse of God Then I began to see my need of and did desire after Jesus Christ being as I thought then willing to take him on his own terms Jesus Christ was then as I thought precious to me and being willing to understand my own case and condition it pleased the Lord to open my heart to hearken diligently to the word Preached wherein I found much comfort which ingaged my heart unto the Lord and made me unwilling to neglect any duty which he commanded or to commit any sin which the Lord forbids This I well remember to be the frame of my spirit near thirty years ago Hearing much that it was the end of life to glorfie God it made the earnest breathings of my soul to be this Oh but how shall I glorifie God! After this by a Providence I heard Mr. M. at Westminster my Father being there for some months he was on that Scripture 2 Chron. 15. 17. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days I took great delight to hear him being often angry he had done so soon My soul was much refreshed by the signs and marks he gave of a perfect heart I did usually go from hearing into my Chamber and beg earnestly of God for a perfect heart in which as I thought I
saw more of value than in any injoyments whatever it was what did concern my spiritual estate I begun to be much troubled about how such a poor sinful creature that was by natnre under the wrath and curse of God should escape this I did believe as I had been taught it was by a Redeemer I did also believe that there was no name given under Heaven by which I must be saved but the Lord Christ Jesus I did also much hearken to the tenders of Christ in the Gospel and how he invited sinners to himself and that he offered himself freely this gave me encouragement But as I had read and heard it was a strait gate and a narrow way few that find it this made me very careful lest I should be deceived And here came in the great question But how shall I know that God in Christ will accept me For many are called but few chosen God hath mercy on whom he will and it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that sheweth mercy This made me very diligent to hearken to marks and signs of grace The first that I remember troubled me was this understanding it was the common lot of all Gods People through many afflictions to enter into heaven This did much trouble me at that time and I was apt to think I should be able to bear any thing that God would lay on me so it might evidence to me the love of God to my soul but fool that I was I judged too soon for when it pleased the All-wise God to try me I quickly saw that my strength was but small by my fainting so much as I did in a day of adversity which by many sad experiences I can shew how unable to bear any thing when tryed However then I thought I could bear any thing from with out so all might be well within After this by a Providence I came to hear Mr. V. at St. Olaves the first Sermon that I heard him was on these words And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her Prov. 3. 15. Wherein was set out the value of Jesus Christ above all that the world afforded which very much wrought on my heart with great longing after this Christ but still came this question How shall you know your interest However it pleased God so to bless his Ministry to me that usually I found my doubts so resolved and my heart so opened that I went away with great joy and comfort but for all this I was perplexed with dreadful thoughts after I had such peace and joy then Satan begun to work indeed I but is there such a God and such a Christ to be believed in How to answer this temptation I was at a great loss and would tell none what did ail me I mourned much under it and thought I questioned whether there was a God or no yet then I did not neglect praying and did as it were pour out my soul daily unto God for victory that he would not give me up to an unbelieving heart and of his free-grace who knew my soul in adversity by his word to send me relief Going to hear on a Lecture-day he then Preached on these words Hos. 2. 7. I will go and return to my first husband for then was it better with me than now It pleased God so to order it that he gave great caution against such thoughts saying Take heed poor soul when the Devil casteth in such thoughts Is there a God or a Christ Take heed for then Satan will have you in his snare This with many other things was set home on my heart then he did convince me by appealing to the Saints experience Is it not better to entertain good thoughts of God and of Christ was it not better with you then than now The Lord gave me so to close in with the truth of that word that I had great joy and peace through believing and went home full of comfort that God had so met me with a word By that means it pleased the Lord to give check to those unbelieving thoughts that so overcame me And yet to this day I have great cause to mourn for that unbelief I find in my heart notwithstanding all the experiences that God hath given me that Scripture doth often reprove me Heb. 3. 12. Take heed lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God After this I kept waiting at the posts of Wisdoms gate that I might understand the state of my soul which was the one thing necessary that I desired to look after and finding by the word Preached that the usual way and method of God was to strike the soul down as he did them in the second of the Acts and the Jaylor and the like this did raise in me great doubts what to think of my self because I could not find in my self such convictions of and humiliation for sin as was pressed and as to Original sin it did not seem much to affect me this did bring me into great fears However I took that way I had found comfort in which was by prayer to the Lord to bless his word to me Mr. V. was then on this Text Ephes. 2. 8. By grace are ye saved through faith and that not of your selves it is the gift of God To this I diligently hearken'd and received great support for all my objections seemed to be answered yet for all this I did as it were refuse to be comforted he being on signs of grace closed the Text with these two marks 1. A souls going on in a way of duty was a very hopeful sign 2. But the Spirit of God was the only infallible witness the spirit it self beareth witness with our spirit that we are the Children of God The first did comfort me the second did very much trouble me for I could not understand the meaning of the spirits witness which fearing lest I should be deceived in a matter of so great a concern made me give all diligence in reading and hearing that my doubts might be resolved but as yet no rest in my spirit and the more increased being the time to go into the Country where usually our family was this added much to my grief to be taken off from hearing Mr. V. I began to look more into the Scriptures and to pick up whatever did come suddenly into my mind and it pleased God to cast in many that seemed to comfort me which I wrote down in that year But then came this question These are marks and signs that belong to such and such Saints in Scripture But what is this to thee These thoughts much cast me down what to do I knew not but kept still praying and waiting on God and I found speedy relief when I least thought of it My Father being at Hammersmith I went constantly to hear there and that Summer several City-Ministers
sure also to keep off every thing that may stifle or quench the heat of your love take heed of those strong blasts those wicked and cursed temptations that arise from Hell take heed also of those damps that arise from the world if you set your affections there those cold vapours arising thence will either abate or extinguish the heat of this pure heavenly fire of love take heed of being Servants with the World to the lusts of the flesh beware of these things Sin the lusts of the flesh the love of the World and Christ are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 inconsistent they cannot dwell together in one Soul 1 Joh. 2. 15 If any man love the world the love of the father is not in him These are like two fires in one Chimney the one will extinguish the other Direct 4. Fourthly and Lastly Be sure to add fuel to this fire and keep this heat you have received from Heaven warm take heed that your hearts never get cold I must confess that we live in a cold and frozen age in the worlds old age in an age wherein there is little love to God to Jesus Christ and to the Saints and if you would in this cold season keep up the height of your love to Christ I would advise you 1. To be much in communion with him the nearer you are to the Sun the more heat you will have 2. Be diligent and active and vigorous in the performance of every duty clothe your selves well with the constant performance of duty tender bodies delicate persons if they leave off a Garment are very apt to catch cold and so it will be with us if we neglect the constant performance of duty the neglect of praying morning and evening the neglect of praying constantly in your Closets the neglect of hearing Sermons the neglect of the due observation of the Sabbath in the neglect of these things you will be apt to get cold yet it is not enough barely to attend these duties which is too common a folly and sin but there is one thing more to be done and that is when you have been in the exercise of your love and in communion with Christ when you have warmed your selves in your Closets or at an Ordinance go not too soon into the world this care we do usually take for our bodies when we are warm when we are hot we do not presently expose our selves to the cold and thus we should do in reference to our souls when we have been at an Ordinance and have been warmed and heated there we should not too soon adventure abroad into the world this hath done a world of mischief and persons have thereby cool'd and dampt their love 3. And one thing more When you meet together not to be quench-coals one to another not to abate the love and zeal one of another but as the Apostle exhorts Heb. 10. 24 Consider one another What to do to provoke unto love and to good works love to God love to Christ love one to another love to the Ordinances of God When you meet together do not meet together I say to cool one another but meet as so many live-coals that will kindle and enliven one another that you may make the greater heat that you may warm your selves and one another and so keep your hearts and affections continually warm for God Vse 2. I have yet a word to another sort of people by way of Application and that is to such as have never yet tasted of the love of God nor never yet have found any love to Christ in their souls I hope there are or may be none or few such here and therefore I shall speak but little to this if there should be any such here or any of yours at home should be such their case is as bad as that of Cain or Judas If they have yet no love to God and to Christ I tell them that are here and do you that are here tell them that are at home that they must never content themselves without it any longer without which they can never be able to say truly to say that God loves them for if they hate Christ Christ will hate them and set himself against them yea there is a curse gone out and pronounced against them already 1 Cor. 16. 22 If any man says the Apostle love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha And therefore you that are such as I am now speaking to be you perswaded from henceforth to love Christ and in order thereto wait upon the means of grace where God hath promised to shew forth his love and to inkindle it and inflame their hearts with a greater and higher love to himself In Job 22. 21 says Eliphas to Job Acquaint thy self with him that is with God and be at peace thereby good shall come unto thee And this brings me now at last though I have staid long from it to the second Observation from the Text wherein lies much comfort for poor souls though you have had hitherto but a little light and love from God and but little love to God And that is Doct. 2. That they that seek the Lord early shall certainly find him and shall find him a God full of grace and mercy and shall certainly enjoy him eternally in Heaven Our deceased Friend that precious Saint of God that is gone before us having found the benefit of an early seeking after God and Christ in the way of his Ordinances desired that her nearest Friends Relations and Children might be and indeed by chusing this Text doth advise us all to be a Generation of Seekers and oh that God would make every one of us such as may seek thy face O Jacob O God of Jacob that is that may seek after Jesus Christ This is the work of our lives and it is well for us that Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and to save that which was lost and to put this great advantage into our hands that we could never have had without him In Matt. 7. 7 8 Christ exhorts us Ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened Under the Covenant of works you might seek and seek till your eyes sunk into the holes of your heads and never have found Christ nor God but now he tell us that he is come into the world and that if we seek him with our whole hearts in the way of his Ordinances and appointments we shall find him and that if we knock there it shall be opened unto us In the prosecution of this Observation I shall only speak to these three things 1. First of all I shall shew you That man is born in a natural estrangement from God every man every individual person every Mothers Child is brought into the
did supply the place and among the rest I heard Mr. G. on these words Lord to whom shall we go thou hast the words of eternal life Joh. 6. 68. As I remember this was his Observation That soul that had once given up it self to could never bear a going off from Jesus Christ. His arguing thus with a doubting soul Try thy self cannot you bear a leaving of God then doubt not that he will leave you would you know whether God loves you consider do you love God for you could not love him unless he loved you first By these and several arguments the Lord was pleased so to set it home on my heart I may well forget the words my heart being so full of peace and joy through believing 1 Pet. 1. that I cannot express it being as I judg better felt than exprest it did seem at that time to me as if I had tasted of that joy unspeakable and full of glory I know not what to make of it except it were a sealing unto the day of redemption I thought then my joy being so great I could willingly have gone out of the body to have been with the Lord. I remember I went home and fell on my knees admiring the freeness of grace to such a worm as I crying out with the Apostle O the depth The sense of free-grace and rich mercy did much overcome me the which I hope I shall admire to all eternity O the goodness of God! when I had again and again refused to be comforted yet he waited to be gracious to me This I write and speak that God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost may have the glory of their own work When under my doubts and fears I seldom went to hear but the word did seem to speak unto me and several Scriptures came suddenly to my mind that did reprove and quiet and comfort me such as these Why art thou cast down O my soul and why art thou disquieted within me hope in God for I shall yet praise him This hath been made good unto me and that in the Psalm In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul and that it is good for me to draw near to God Psal. 73. 28. And that a day in thy courts is better than a thousand Psal. 84. 10. And I can truly say as David did I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God than to dwell in tents of wickedness Experienced I have that of Job I have esteemed thy word more than my necessary food Job 23. 12. I have had great support from that Scripture All that the Father giveth me shall come to me and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out Joh. 6. 37. I have often thought of that Scripture with joy Lord how is it that thou wilt manifest thy self unto me and not unto the world for who maketh thee differ from another and what hast thou that thou didst not receive I have again and again in these words and many more admired freeness of grace towards such a poor doubting soul as I was I doubt not but he which hath begun will finish his own work on Sarah Lye Amen Amen Thus far I have written a relation of the first 20 years of my age what was the great thing that most troubled me it was That I might have assurance of the love of God and a well-grounded hope of an interest in Christ that what the Lord Jesus had done and suffered might be applied unto me and having hopes through grace and rejoycing much in hopes of the glory of God which hope maketh not ashamed After this I began to have great tryals as to the loss of my relations my Parents that were very dear to me both dying within four Months this with many more troubles much cast me down yet to observe the Providences of God to me and how by his word he sent me relieving experiences should I set it down in order would swell to a great Volume Only thus much I may speak to the praise of God that when Father and Mother forsook God took me into his care and hath graciously provided for me and hath given me an Agurs portion which I beg'd of the Lord when but a Girl I can truly say All the ways of the Lord are and have been to me mercy and truth For this God I have chosen to be my God for ever and ever and I doubt not but he will be my guide even unto death And now my dear Child or Children that shall read of this way and method that the Lord did use in bringing me off from all things to himself take heed pray take heed you do not limit the holy One of Israel nor tye up God to this or any way of working the Lord worketh all things after the counsel of his own will but we are commanded to search our hearts and try our ways and to examine our selves and to give all diligence to make our calling and election sure Look that the work of conversion be wrought and leave time and way to the All-wise God that governs the world and orders all things to whom be glory for ever and ever Amen and Amen All that I have written in these few sheets is not out of any book but that of my own conscience no assister but the spirit and to no end but that God in all things may have glory for I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought in me FINIS Books sold by Tho.
