Couenant which is Iesus Christ Reuel 8. 3. Hee maketh continuall Intercession for vs Romanes 8. 34. VVho hath conquered Death Iesus Christ 1 Cor. 15. 37. By whom attaine we eternall saluation By Iesus Christ our Lord 1 Thess. 5. 9. Our Praedestination Calling Iustification Sanctification Hope Peace Redemption Intercession the Conquest of Death our Purchase of Life All come vnto vs by the Merits of Iesus Christ. O then disconsolate soule whosoeuer thou art that art tossed with woes confounded with feares amazed with the terrors of eternall Death Heere is Baulme of Gilead dropping from the Roote of lesse Be not disquiered O blessed soule trust in God it is his Gift not thy Merit Trust in Christ it is his Purchase not thy Price Trust in God the fountaine of Mercy Trust in Christ the Fountaine of Merit And they will deliuer thy soule from the broaken Cesterne from the water-lesse pits from the windy Clouds from the withered reeds of thy owne imperfections God so loued the world that bee gaue his Sonne Christ so loued the world that he gaue himselfe He is the Lambe of God that taketh away the sinnes of the world Mentitur Iohannes fiest peccatum mundi quod non tollit Agnus Dei It is the plaine speech of S. Hierome that S. Iohn the Euangelist had told a lye if there were any sin of the world which the Lambe of God had not taken away The Grace of God by the sole Merits of Christ is the sacred Roote of Eternall Life and Happinesse But of the goulden apples of eternity how shal I speake It is the confession of Philosophy that our vnderstanding of heauenly things is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the eyes of Batts and Owles that cannot behold the Sunnes glory It is the Profession of Diuinity that these ioyes were neuer perceiued of the eye Neuer receiued by the eare Neuer conceiued by the heart of man 1 Corinth 2. Yet as the Apostle speakes Videmus per speculum we see in a Glasse as Elias wee see vnder a Mantell the glory and happines of heauen For what is more glorious on earth then a Kingdome A Kingdome is promised Luke 12. Feare not little flocke it is your Fathers pleasure to giue you a Kingdome VVhat is the honor of a Kingdome but a Crowne A Crowne is promised yea an incorruptible Crowne of Glory 1 Corinthians 9. VVhat is in a Crowne more precious then the massinesse of Gold and lustre of Iewells And these are promised Aeternum pondus gloriae An eternall waight of glory 1 Corinth 5. And our Bodyes to be like the starres in beauty 1 Corinthians 15. But what speake I of Starres The Scripture saith that our Bodies shall be like to the Bodie of Iesus Christ whose glory is shadowed out with the comparison of Angells Matth. 28. 3. The text speaketh of the Angell that his countenance was like Lightning and his Raiment like Snow Matthew 17. 2. The text speaketh of Christs transfiguration the glasse of his glory that his Face did shine as the Sunne and his Garments as the Light Our glory shall not be like to the Angells lightning and snow but to Christ the sun and light of heauen So that at the day of iudgement Leah shall not arise with bleare eyes nor Mephibosheth with lame feete nor Ehud with a withered Arme. But the Bodyes of the Saints shall arise as so many glorious Sunnes from the Horrizon of Earth to the circumference of Heauen I am swallowed vp in contemplation and must conclude with the history of the Queene of Sheba vnto King Salomon 1 King 10. 6. Shee said vnto the King It was a true report that I heard in my owne land of thy Acts and Wisdome Howbeit I beleeued not till I came and mine eyes had seene and behold the halfe was not told me First we are farther from Heauen then the Queene of Sheba from Salomon Secondly we heare of Heauen as the Queene of Sheba of Salomon Thirdly our report is true of Heauen as their report of Salomon Fourthly you doe not beleeue our report of heauen no more then the Queene of Sheba the report of the Wisedome of Salomon But when your eyes shall see God and enioy Heauen you will confesse that not halfe the Glory was reported in Earth which you finde in Heauen VVhen the Queene that is the Church shall stand on the right hand of the Lambe glorious in diuers colours in the infinit incomprehensible varity of happinesse To this Kingdome this Crowne this Eternall weight of glory good Lord bring vs for the infinite Mercies for Iesus Christs infinite Merits Amen Laus Deo Prologe in Iobum a Esay 30. b In Enchiridio a Homo Iliadot 6. b Bernard c De Doctri Christia lib. 1. d Prud.
