promise and leave us in the dust for ever It cannot be Hath he conquered Death for himself alone and not for us Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven to be there alone and will he not have all his members with him Remember then Christian when thou lookest on thy grave that Christ was buried and hath made the grave a bed of rest that shall give up her trust when his Trumpet sounds And that his Resurrection is the pledge of ours Keep therefore thy rising and glorified Lord continually in thy eye If Christ were not risen our preaching were vain and your faith were vain and all men were miserable but we most miserable that suffer so much for a life which we had no ground to hope for 1 Cor. 15 14 17 19. But now we have an Argument that Infidelity it self is ashamed to encounter with that hath been the means of the conversion of the Nations unto Christ by which we may put even Death it self to a defiance as knowing it is now a conquered thing If it could have held Christ captive it might also have held us But he being risen we shall surely rise Write it therefore Christians upon your hearts mention it more in your conference for the encouragement of your faith Write it on the grave-stones of your friends that CHRIST IS RISEN and that BECAUSE HE LIVETH WE SHALL LIVE ALSO and that OUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD though we are dead and when he shall appear who is our Life we shall also appear with him in glory John 14. 19. Col. 3. 3 4. Though we must be sown in corruption in weakness and dishonour we shall be raised in incorruption strength and honour 1 Cor. 1. 15. 42 43. While our souls behold the Lord in glory we may bear with the winter that befalls our flesh till the sping of Resurrection come Knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall also raise us up by Jesus For which cause we faint not but though our outward man perish yet the inner man is renewed day by day while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen For the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal 2 Cor. 4. 14 15 16 17 18. As we are risen with Christ to newness of life so we shall rise with him to glory Use 10. LAstly If Death be the last Enemy to be destroyed at the Resurrection we may learn hence how earnestly believers should long and pray for the second coming of Christ when this full and final Conquest shall be made Death shall do much for us but the Resurrection shall do more Death sends the separated soul to Christ but at his coming both soul and body shall be glorified There is somewhat in Death that is penal even to believers but in the coming of Christ and their Resurrection there is nothing but glorifying grace Death is the effect of sin and of the first sentence passed upon sinners but the Resurrection of the Just is the final destruction of the effects of sin And therefore though the fears of Death may perplex us me-thinks we should long for the coming of Christ there being nothing in that but what tends to the deliverance and glory of the Saints Whether he will come before the general Resurrection and reign on earth a thousand years which some expect I shall not presume to pass my determination But sure I am it is the work of faith and Character of his people to love his appearance 2 Tim. 4. 8. and to wait for the Son of God from Heaven whom he raised from the dead even Jesus who delivered us from the wrath to come 1 Thes 1. 10. and to wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 1. 7. and to wait for the adoption the redemption of our bodies with inward groanings Rom. 8. 23. O therefore let us pray more earnestly for the coming of our Lord and that the Lord would direct our hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting for Christ 2 Thes 3. 5. O blessed day when the glorious appearing of our Lord shall put away all his servants shame and shall communicate Glory to his members even to the bodies that had laid so long in dust that to the eye of flesh there seemed to be no hope Though the Majesty and glory will cause our Reverence yet it will not be our terrour to the diminution of our joy It is his enemies that would not have him rule over them whom he cometh to destroy Lu. 19. 27. Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his Saints to execute judgement upon all to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodlily committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him as Henoch the seventh from Noah prophesied Jud. 14. 15. But the precious faith of the Saints shall be found to praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ 1 Pet. 1. 7. When the chief Shepherd shall appear we shall receive a Crown of glory that fadeth not away 1 Pet. 5. 4. He that was once offered to bear the sins of many and now appeareth for us in the presence of God shall unto them that look for him appear the second time without sin to salvation Heb. 9. 24. 28. And When Christ who is our life shall appear then shall we also appear with him in Glory Col. 3. 4. The Lord shall then come to be glorified in his Saints and admired in all them that believe in that day 2 Thes 1. 10. This is the day that all believers should long and hope and wait for as being the accomplishment of all the work of their redemption and all the desires and endeavours of their souls It is the hope of this day that animateth the holy diligence of our lives and makes us turn from the carelesness and sensuality of the world For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godlily in this present world looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ Tit. 2. 11 12 13. The heavens and the earth that are now are kept in store by the word of God reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men And though the Lord seem to delay he is not slack of his promise as some men count slackness for a day is with him as a thousand years and a thousand years but as a day But the day of the Lord will come as a Thiefin the night in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up Seeing then all

Two Treatises The first of DEATH On 1 Cor. 15. 26. The Second of JUDGMENT On 2 Cor. 5. 10 11. By Rich. Baxter LONDON Printed for Nevil Simmons at the Princes-Arms in St. Pauls Church-yard 1672. A Treatise of DEATH The last ENEMY to be destroyed Shewing wherein its enmity consisteth and how it is destroyed Part of it was Preached at the Funerals of Elizabeth the late Wife of Mr. Joseph Baker Pastor of the Church at Saint Andrews in Worcester By Rich. Baxter With some few passages of the life of the said Mrs. Baker observed Psal 15. 4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. 1 Cor. 15. 55 56 57. O death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the Law But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ LONDON Printed for Nevil Simmons at the Princes-Arms in St. Pauls Church-yard 1672. To the Worshipfull the Major Aldermen and Sheriff of the City of Worcester with the rest of the Inhabitants especially those of the Parishes of Andrews and Hellens Worshipfull and the rest Beloved THE chief part of this following Discourse being preached among you and that upon an occasion which you are obliged to consider Isa 57. 1. being called to publish it I thought it meet to direct it first to your hands and to take this opportunity plainly and seriously to exhort you in some matters that your present and everlasting peace is much concerned in Credible fame reporteth you to be a people not all of one mind or temper in the matters of God but that 1. Some of you are Godly Sobe and Peaceable 2. Some well-meaning and zealous but addicted to divisions 3. Some Papists 4. Some Hiders seduced by your late deceased neighbour Clement Writer to whom the Quakers do approach in many opinions 5. And too many prophane and obstinate persons that are heartily and seriously of no Religion but take occasion from the divisions of the rest to despise or neglect the Ordinances of God and join themselves to no Assemblies 1. To the first sort having least need of my exhortation I say no more but As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk ye in him rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith as ye have been taught abounding therein with thanksgiving and beware lest any man spoil you by deceit c. Col. 2. 6 7 8. Walk as a chosen generation a royal Priest-hood a holy Nation a peculiar people to shew forth the praises of him that hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light having your conversation honest among the ungodly that whereas they are apt to speak against you as evil doers they may by your good works which they shall behold glorifie God in the day of visitation For so is the will of God that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men 1 Pet. 2. 9 11 12 15. Your labour and patience is known to the Lord and how ye cannot bear them which are evill but have tried them which say they speak from the Lord and are Apostles and are not and have found them lyars even the woman Jezabel that is suffered to teach and seduce the people calling her self a Prophetess who shall be cast into a bed of tribulation and all that commit adultery with her except they repent and her children shall be killed with death and all the Churches shall know that Christ is he which searcheth the reines and hearts and will give to every one according to their work As for your selves we put upon you no other burden but that which you have already Hold fast till the Lord come Rev. 2. Be watchfull that ye fall not from your first Love and if any have declined and grown remiss remember how you have received and heard and hold fast and repent and strengthen the things that remain which are ready to die lest your Candlestick should be removed Rev. 3. 2 3 c. And beware lest ye also being led away with the error of the wicked fall from your own stedfastness but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 2 Pet. 3. 17 18. And I beseech you brethren do all things without murmurings and disputings that ye may be blameless and harmless the Sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse Nation among whom you and your brethren shine as lights in the world Phil. 2. 14 15. And if in well doing you suffer think it not strange but rejoyce that ye are partakers of the sufferings of Christ that when his glory shall be revealed ye may be glad also with exceeding joy If ye be reproached for the name of Christ ye are happy for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you being glorified on your part while he is evil spoken of on theirs 1 Pet. 4. 12 13 14. 2. To the second sort inclinable to divisions let me tender the Counsel of the Holy Ghost Jam. 3. 1. My brethren be not many Masters or Teachers knowing that ye shall receive the greater condemnation The wisdom that is from above is first pure and then Peaceable gentle and easie to be intreated full of mercy good fruits without partiality and without hipocrisie And the fruit of Righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts glory not and lye not against the truth This wisdom descendeth not from above but is earthly sensuall devilish For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work Look on those Assemblies where the people professing the fear of God are of one heart and mind and walk together in Love and holy Order and people give due honour and obedience to their faithful Guides and compare them with the Congregations where professors are self-conceited unruly proud and addicted to ostentation of themselves and to divisions and see which is likest to the Primitive pattern and in which it is that the power of godliness prospereth best and the beauty of Religion most appears and Christians walk as Christians indeed If pride had not brought the heavy judgment of infatuation or insensibility on many the too clear discoveries of the fruits of divisions in the numerous and sad experiences of this age would have caused them to be abhorred as odious and destructive by those that now think they do but transcend their lower brethren in holiness and zeal I beseech you therefore brethren by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you be perfectly joyned together in the same mind and
