A77515	Two treatises the one, handling the doctrine of Christ's mediatorship : wherein the great Gospel-mystery of reconciliation betwixt God and man is opened, vindicated, and applyed. The other, of mystical implantation : wherein the Christian's union and communion with, and conformity to Jesus Christ, both in his death and resurrection, is opened, and applyed. / As they were lately delivered to the church of God at Great Yarmouth, by John Brinsley, minister of the Gospel, and preacher to that incorporation.	Brinsley, John, 1600-1665.; Ashe, Simeon, d. 1662.	1652 (1652)	Wing B4737; Thomason E1223_1; ESTC R22919	314,532	569

was so he sufficiently manifested it to his Disciples after his Resurrection conversing with them to that end that they and others might be assured of the truth of his Resurrection To this end he not only spake to them but eat with them withall shewing them his martyred crucified body Behold my hands and my feet that it is I my selfe handle me and see c so he speaks to his Disciples Luke 24.39 40. And afterwards when Thomas not being at that time present with the rest was not satisfied concerning it he so far condescended to his weaknesse as to permit him to put his fingers into the prints of the nails and thrust his hand into his side John 20.27 Ipse auditus visus ne phantasma crederetur etiam contrectatus Tertul. advers Praxeam Thus did Christ manifest the reality of his Resurrection by audible visible sensible demonstrations He was both heard and seen and handled that none might ever question the truth of it Such was his Resurrection Such I shall the Believer's be And such shall the Believers Resurrection be a true Resurrection The same body which dieth shall rise again not another created and substituted in the room of it as the Manichees and some other Hereticks of old fondly dreamed but the same individuall body This was an Article of Job's faith I know saith he that my Redeemer liveth and shall at the last day stand on the earth And though after my skin worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for my selfe and mine eyes shall behold and not another Job 19.25 26 27. Job was confident that that very body which he should lay down in the grave should be raised up at the last day And hereof Paul was as confident as he 1 Cor. 15.53 This corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortall must put on immortality 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This corruptible this mortall So the Apostle spake saith Tertullian Tertul. adversus Marcion tenens utique carnem suam touching or pointing at his own flesh This very flesh and blood this Numericall Identicall Body shall rise again Tertul. libro de Resurrectione Resurget caro quidem omnis quidem ipsa quidem integra so the same Authour There shall be a Resurrection of the flesh of all flesh of the same flesh and of the whole flesh The same body shall be raised again That it shall be so and must be so Paul's reason is convincing 2 Cor. 5.10 We must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in the body whether good or evill This is the end of the Resurrection that there may be a compensation a retribution a gracious remuneration a just retaliation according to what men have done in the body Now should there another body be substituted in the room of that body which was the souls companion here upon earth this new body having done neither good nor evill what equity or congruity that it should receive either reward or punishment The same body that sinned must suffer The same body that suffered for Christ shall be glorified wiih Christ And therefore the same body shall rise again As Christ was raised so shall all Believers be for the verity of their Resurrection But this is common with them to all others 2. In the second place 2d Generall Resemblance In the Quality of it being Their Resurrection shall resemble his in the Quality of it His Resurrection was a Resurrection unto life and that life a spirituall life and a glorious life and an eternall life And such shall the Resurrection of all true Believers be 1. A Resurrection to life 1. A Resurrection to life Therein differing from the Resurrection of others So our Saviour sets it forth John 5.29 The hour is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth they that have done good unto the Resurrection of life and they that have done evill unto the Resurrection of damnation Thus shall believers have a peculiar Resurrection Whence it is that they are called the Children of the Resurrection Luke 20.36 because they shall obtain a better Resurrection as the Authour to the Hebrews calls it Heb. 11.35 better then others Their Resurrection shall not be a bare 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not onely a Resurrection but a Resurrection to life 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as our Saviour there calleth it the Resurrection of life Such shal be the Resurrection of the just as our Saviour cals it Luke 14.14 Such as are Evangelically just through the righteousnesse of Christ imputed to them themselves also endeavouring after righteousnesse They shall come forth to the Resurrection of Life whereas others They that have done evill the workers of iniquity as our Savior describeth them Mat. 7.28 Luke 13.27 therein speaking in the language of the Psalmist Psal 5.5 125.5 Such as make a practice of sin they shall come forth to the Resurrection of Judgement so the Originall hath it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is of condemnation punishment So it is explained Mat. 25. last These shall go into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternall In this shal the resurrection of believers resemble the resurrection of Christ It shall be a resurrection unto life 2. And that life a spirituall life 2. And that life in the 2d place shal be a spiritual Life Such was the life of Jesus Christ as I have shewn you after his Resurrection And such shal the lives of God's Saints then be They shal then live a spiritual life their bodies being then made spiritual bodies That is the Apostles Epethite 1 Cor. 15.44 So shal it be in the Resurrection of the dead dead Saints It is sown a natural it is raised a spiritual body The body whilest it liveth here is a natural body 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an animal body maintained by natural means as meats and drinks breathing and sleeping as other Animals are subject to all the infirmities of impaired nature sicknesses age death Such it is But in the Resurrection it shall be elevated to an higher state of perfection made a spiritual body 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Not in respect of substance as if the body should be turned into a spirit or into an Aery Ethereal Substance as some have fondly imagined but in respect of the Qualities and Perfections which it shall then be endued with It shall then subsist without the help of naturall supports neither shall it thenceforth be subject to any such naturall infirmities That which was sown in weaknesse shal be raised in power 1 Cor. 15.43 The body shall be maintained in that state to which it is raised by the continued efflux of a supernaturall power so as the person shall thenceforth live after a sort an Angelical Life according to that

bring evill upon the house of Jeroboam for Jeroboam's sake Thus doth God often according to that his threatning visit the sin of the fathers upon the children viz. in the way of temporall Judgement Specially where he findeth them treading in their fathers steps as Canaan did in Chams and Jeroboams posterity in his So then wee cannot looke upon that passage in Ezekiel as a perpetuall and standing Law for all times and places but onely as calculated for that present Meridian as peculiar to those times and that people The Lord therin declaring to the people of the Jews what the course of his ordinary providence should thenceforth be in his proceedings with them So much may clearly be collected from the first verses of this chapter where the Lord expostulates with that people about a Proverb which was in use amongst them The fathers have eaten sowre grapes and the childrens teeth are set on edge ver 2. The meaning whereof was that Manasseh and others of their forefathers had sinned and they suffered for it So you have it explained Lam. 5.7 Our Fathers have sinned and are not and we have born their Iniquities Thus did they abuse the patience and indulgence of God in deferring his Judgements taking occasion from thence to charge him with some hard measure some unequall dealings towards themselves Hereupon the Lord tels them that he would take away that occasion from them So you have it ver 3. As I live saith the Lord ye shall not any more have occasion to use this Proverb in Israel How so why hereafter he intended to be more speedy in the execution of his Judgements he would bring them speedily upon the person that sins The soul that sinneth shall dy c. this is all that is intended in that place Which being so looked upon maketh nothing against the point in hand Notwithstanding that with a Non obstante God may and doth and that Justly charge the sin of one upon another in the way of temporall Punishment I and accept such a satisfaction made by one for another Thus in those forenamed instances That execution done upon Sauls sons it is accepted as a Temporall satisfaction for the sin of Saul so as thereupon the Lord was reconciled to the people and was intreated for the land as you have it 2 Sam. 21. ver 14. In like manner that execution which the destroying Angel had done upon those seventy thousand God accepted it as a temporal satisfaction for the sin of David wherby he had provoked him against that people 2 Sam. 24. last And even thus hath God required and accepted this Eternall satisfaction made by Christ in the behalf of his Elect people Which he hath done without any impeachment to his Truth his truth in his Threatnings Alleg. 2. But how can this stand with his truth in his Promises 2. In his promises Hath not God promised Remission of sins and Eternall life upon the condition of Repentance and new obedience without any further satisfaction So it there followeth in the next verse Ezek. 18.21.22 If the wicked will turne from all his sins that he hath committed and keep all my statutes c. He shall surely live he shall not dy All his transgressions that he hath committed they shall not be mentioned unto him in his righteousnesse that he hath done he shall live Many such promises we meet withall both in the Old Testament and New A. To this it is answered True the penitent sinner upon his Repentance evangelical obedience Answ The promises of Remission and salvation upon conditions of Repentance and new Obedience how understood and Perseverance he shall live and that Eternally But what are these the cause of his salvation Not so Conditions they are and so a causa sine quâ non as they call it Conditions without which they shall not be saved Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish saith our Saaiour to those censorious Jewes Luke 13.3 And they are the way which leades to heaven Via Regni The way to the Kingdome a way which God hath layd out for his people to walke in Ephes 2.10 and they walking in it shall attain the end of their hope the salvation of their soules it will bring them to heaven I but not causa regnandi not the cause of their Reigning there No the proper procuring cause of salvation is onely the Obedience of Jesus Christ being apprehended and applyed by Faith To both which Repentance and new obedience are subordinate Marke it There are three things which besides the Grace of God which is the first moving cause concurr in bringing a sinner to salvation viz. Christ Faith Repentance Christ Faith Repentance subordinate the one presupposing the other The first of these Christ he is the meritorious cause of it The two others Faith and Repentance are as Conditions of the Covenant without which Christ and his merits shall be of no availe unto the sinner Repent and beleeve the Gospel Marke 1.15 Now these are subordinate the one to the other The first Christ being the proper and principall procuring cause The 2d Faith an Instrumentall cause The 3d Repentance a Concomitant of Faith a fruit and effect of it The one necessarily depending upon the other Repentance upon Faith and Faith upon Christ There is no true Faith without Repentance it being Faith that purifieth the heart Acts 15.9 And there is no true Faith without Christ hee being the proper object of true saving justifying faith as it justifieth and saveth Now according to that known and vulgar Maxime Subordinata non pugnant Things which are subordinate the one to the other they may well stand together The asserting of the one is not the denying of the other The taking in of the one is not the shutting out of the other whilst it is said that God pardoneth sins unto the sinner upon his Repentance it doth not exclude faith without which it is impossible to please God Heb. 11.6 But includes it presupposeth it And thus when we are said to be justified and saved by faith it doth not exclude but include Christ from whom faith draweth that Justifying and saving vertue Thus do these stand well together He that Repenteth and beleeveth shall be saved but not without Christ It is not his Repentance or Faith as they are workes that shall be imputed unto him unto Justification and salvation But the Obedience of Christ apprehended by faith and imitated in neer obedience Hereby it is that sinners are Reconciled Justified saved Q. But was this the way of Reconciliation under the old Testament The same way of reconciliation under the old Testament and the New Ans Surely yes Our Apostle in the verse after the Text telleth us that Christ gave himselfe a Ransome for us all that is not onely for Gentiles but for Jewes not onely for those who lived after his death but those who lived before All true beleevers As by the offence of one
