that do belong to my Son and all those works by which my Son will come to have his honor eternally are done let there be an end of the world and the end of the world is like to be the sooner now because that we see God is doing so much for the setting up of Jesus Christ in this latter age as when a mans time is almost at an end for his work then hee doth work more speedily than hee did before now saith God I have made the world for the honour of my Son but yet to this day how little honour hath my Son had from the world and there is a time saith God that I will manifest to all the world that I did make it for Jesus Christ hee did not make it for a company of Tyrants to do what they would in nor for a company of prophane people to eat and drink and follow their lusts in but the end at which God aimed at in making the world saith hee I will set up my Son in the world and all the works that ever have been done in the world shall at length come in to conduce to the honour of my Son And this shall bee the great work that shall bee done at the Day of Judgement hee will shew to all the world how all those works that did seem to go most against Jesus Christ how they were brought about for the honour of Jesus Christ Oh blessed are those souls that come to see that all things were made for the honour of Jesus Christ and so give glory to him accordingly Thus you see what a wonderful Saviour wee have that God hath made all things for him Surely our Saviour is glorious and wonderfull 6 There is one thing more hee is wonderful in his Indowments and Excellencies in this that his Excellencies are in him to bee conveyed to his people Joh. 1.16 Out of his fulness do all we receive and grace for grace Out of the fulness of all Excellency that is put into him The Saints of God and elect ones they draw all the excellency they have here or shall have to all eternity For you must know this Though the Divine Nature bee the fountain of all Excellency yet it is not to bee conveyed but onely through Jesus Christ this is the great mystery of godliness and this is the wonder in the Gospel that is so much above nature that though God bee the fountain of all in himself yet hee hath determined that this goodness of his shall bee first let out to his Son and so shall bee conveyed through him to the Saints so that all the gifts and graces wee have wee must not look upon them onely as coming from ●od the Creator of all things but as coming from God through him that is God and man in this mystical way therefore if you say you look at God and beleeve in Gods mercy without understanding the way of Gods communicating himself you may utterly mistake it must bee in Christ that wee must receive grace for grace Now that there should bee such a thing revealed that God should say I will set up my Son the second Person in Trinity to take your nature and to bee God and man and hee shall bee as a Conduit to bee filled with all things whatsoever and you shall have as it were your pipes joyned to him and through him you shall come to partake of what good I intend for you This is the wonder of the world And hence it is that Christ is compared to all things that have any excellency in them Is there an excellency in light Christ is called a Joh. 1.9 Light Christ is called b Mat. 13.46 Pearl and c Rev. 3.18 Gold and Rayment and the d Psal 84.11 Sun and e Joh. 7.38 Living water any thing that hath any excellency in it f Joh. 6.50 Bread g Isa 15.1 Wine Milk whatsoever in the creature hath any excellency in it Christ is called by that Name to shew that all Excellencies are in him as one As I told you that Gods Excellency was such an excellency as the very quintessence of all excellencies was united in one in him so Christ hath the quintessence of all excellencies in him and in him as in a conduit to bee conveyed to all that God intends eternal good unto Oh what a Saviour have wee my Brethren now mee thinks this should bee a very strong argument to draw your hearts to Jesus Christ or at least to say as Philip said Let us see but Jesus Christ this wonder of the world and wee will never wonder at any thing more in the world Oh let us understand what Jesus Christ our Saviour is here you may see what a full object of your faith Jesus Christ is and how you may venture your souls upon him and your eternal estates here is enough to draw faith and incourage faith and inlarge faith and oh that God would bee pleased by presenting what Christ is to work faith in some soul that hath not had it before but now where faith is before this look beyond your own worth and your own inlargements And thus in these things you see how wonderful Christ is There remains two things more The Fourth SERMON ON The Excellency of Christ Isaiah 9.6 And his Name shall bee called Wonderful Christ is Wonderful in regard of the glory of the Father that shines in him WEE proceed The Name of Christ is Wonderful in regard of the wonderful glory of the Father that shines in him It is in Jesus Christ that God reveals himself and appears both to men and Angels It is true somewhat wee might know of the invisible things of God by the things that are seen as the Apostle speaks in Rom. 1.20 by his great Works of Creation and Providence but there is as much difference between the Glory of God that shines in all his Works of Creation and Providence and the Glory of God that shines in the face of Christ as between the glittering of a Glow-worm in a dark night and the glory of the Sun in the full strength of it Now onely take this along with you that God expects that those that do see his glory in Christ should glorifie him in another manner than those that see his glory onely shining in the Works of Creation and Providence that as there is much difference between the shining of the Sun in its full strength and a Glow-worm even so there should bee as much difference between beleevers glorifying God and heathens as there is between the Glow-worm and the glory of the Sun you should not satisfie your self except you finde that there is some such proportionable difference for certainly if you have seen God in Christ you have seen him wonderfully indeed therefore in 2 Cor. 3.18 saith the Apostle But wee all with open face bebolding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image

them to thou hadst need look about thee while they live that if it bee possible thou mayest make a satisfaction for that soul-wrong that thou hast done to them and it may bee such a one is dead and so dead as for ought thou knowest hee never did repent him of that sin now then see what a case thou art in there is one drawn to a sin by thee and now hee is in Hell for that sin that thou wert the cause of what a case hast thou brought thy self into now Is it any otherwise like but that thou must follow shall one bee in Hell for a sin that thou wert the cause of and dost thou think alwaies to escape here is the dreadful estate that any man brings himself to when hee draws others to sin thou hadst need to look about thee and thy heart to bee affected with that sin that hath been punished with the eternal damnation of those souls that thou hast drawn to that sin And not onely by tempting to sin but by incouraging to sin by disswading from that that is good It may bee some souls have been in a good forwardness to that which is good they have begun to inquire after the waies of God but have gotten into thy company and thou hast sought to take them off and what will you bee such fools as to beleeve every thing that is said and you will bee melancholly and mad and who are they but a company of simple people that do thus and thus and thus thou hast been a means to hinder the good work of God in others and to draw them from the good way that they were a beginning to set their feet in and now they begin to bee out of love with the good waies of God and thou hast been the cause of it Now if these souls perish and it may bee some of them are in Hell already truly if a mans heart we●e as hard as any Iron or Steel in the world one would think that such a meditation as this should break his heart in peeces That I know nothing to the contrary but some may bee in Hell for my cause And so many other waies wee might name how a man might have his hand in the loss of the souls of others what way soever thou hast a hand in the sin of others ●or keeping of others from good so many waies thou mayest have a hand in the loss of their souls But I intend not to stand upon this point onely consider of it and the Lord strike the hearts of those that are guilty in this kind But the main use that I would spend the chief part of the time in is this Use 4 If the loss of a soul bee so dreadful then hence is rebuked the folly and madness of most people that have no care of their souls but through their own wretchedness and vileness they suffer their souls to perish eternally all their care is in pampering their bodies and making much of them but little minding their souls and their eternal estates Certainly when the bodies of those souls shall meet them at the day of judgement it will bee a very dreadful meeting When thine immortal soul shall know what it is to bee lost for ever and shall bee brought to joyn again with the body Oh how do you think it will look upon that cursed carkass Oh this is that carkass that body of mine for whose sake I must perish for ever yea and wee must now bee joyned both together to bee fuel for the wrath of the Infinite God to burn upon to all eternity certainly souls are lost and perish thick and threefold they go down to Hell as Bees flie to the hive in the time of a storm There are many waies by which the soul may bee lost though there bee but one by which it may bee saved The several waies by which men come to lose their Souls As first Some there are that lose their souls by wandring up and down in darkness all the daies of their lives by wandring in the waies of sin in the dark and so are a continual prey unto the Devil how many yea and in many places the generality of people they go on continually in blindness and darkness in the vanity of their conversations knowing nothing of God nor of their own souls and the first time that the eyes of their souls are opened and enlightned it is when they are irrecoverably undone yea the first thing that many souls do ever understand concerning themselves it is this I am lost and undone for ever it is so with many certainly they know nothing about their own souls nor about God till they come to know this I am cast away from God and have lost my soul for ever Secondly Others they lose their souls by pawning of them away by pawning of them what is that you will say why you know what it is to pawn a thing when you come and receive from a Broker such a thing you lay something else to pawn for it and upon this condition that within such a time you bring them such a thing that you bargain for and if you do not bring it against that time then you lose your pawn Thus many pawn away their souls when there is a temptation to any sin and they have a mind to it now upon the commission of this sin thou dost lay thy soul to pawn to the Devil onely upon this condition that if thou dost repent and beleeve before God cuts thee off then thou shalt have thy soul again upon these tearms most people sin and in case thou dost not bring repentance and beleef in Christ thy soul is gone I appeal to you there is a temptation to sin you know it is a sin and there is a great deal of danger in it well but you have a mind to it and you will needs have it now you will acknowledge this indeed if I do not repent then I shall bee damned but before I die I hope to repent and so I hope that my soul shall not perish that is as much as to say I will lay my soul in pawn and if I can bring repentance before I die I will have my soul again but if I do not then my soul is gone thus upon the commission of every sin thou dost lay thy soul to pawn the devil hath it upon such tearms as these Now how many thousands have lost this their pawn they have not brought Faith and Repentance within their time before they died and so the Devil hath kept the pawn and will keep it for ever And it is more dangerous the laying of such a pawn than the ordinary laying of pawns to Brokers First There is no such pawn that possibly can bee laid as this the soul of a man Men and women that have any wisdome they will not lay pawns of those things that are precious to them Oh it goes to their hearts to think what

Fairer than the children of men ib. All the fulness of the God-head in Christ 104 This an Argument to us to take heed of abusing the humane nature of our bodies ib. Christ the brightness of Gods glory 105 Christ hath his excellency by virtue of the personal union 106 Christ wonderful in this that all his personal excellencies depend upon himself 107 Christ becomes worthy of divine honour ib. Christ wonderful in this that hee is an infinite object of the delight of his Father 107 108 109 Christ wonderful in his endowments in this that his excellencies are in him to bee conveyed unto his people 110 This should bee a strong Argument to draw our hearts to Christ 111 Christ is wonderful in regard of the glory of the Father that shines in him 112 113 First The glory of Gods Attributes shines in Christ as for i●stance Power 11● Wisdome ib. Holiness 115 Justice 115. Mercy 116. Truth 117 2 The glory of th● great counsel and works of God appears in Christ 118 3 All the good from God in order to Eternal Life is from Christ 119 4 The glory of the Father is wonderful in Christ in this that by him hee attains unto his greatest design in making the world and preserving the world 120 What design ib. 5 All the services and praises of Gods Elect come to him through Christ 121 Christ wonderful in his Humiliation 122 The first wonder in his humiliation is that all the sins of the Elect should bee laid upon Christ 122 A second That hee that was so high should bee brought so low for the sin of man 123 A third Christ is wonderful in his humiliation in that hee suffered in his soul 124 A fourth wonder in Christs humiliation is that hee should suffer so much from his Father 126 A fifth In that God doth not spare him at all but is the executioner himself 127 A sixth wonder of Christs humiliation is that God should leave him 128 A seventh Though Christ sore-saw his suffering yet that hee should willingly undergo it 128 An eighth That this should bee the way of saving men 129 Use of Trial whether Christ bee revealed to us 131 A ninth wonder in Christs humiliation is this that God the Father should bee pleased with all this 132 A tenth is the efficacy of his humiliation is a wonder 133 An eleventh Christs humiliation takes away the venom of all the Saints sufferings ib. A twelfth Christ suffered as a common person ib. A thirteenth another wonder is that by such a way of humiliation Christ entred into his glory 134 A fourteenth Christs humiliation was a most wonderful argument of Gods hatred of sin 135 Christs suffering a pattern of Self-denial ib. Christ wonderful in his Conquests what did hee conquer answered 136 Christ conquered death by dying 137 Christ conquered in his own power ib.

Jesus Christ a full Object for their souls rest 156 157 God doth intend wonderful things for the Saints 158 to 163 The reason that Christians are so empty in their spirits and conversations is because they know so little of the Mystery of the Gospel 164 Duty of Christians to hold out the wonderful glory of Christ in their conversations 166 If Christ bee wonderful here every one that hears of Christ should think it a dreadful thing to miss of Christ 167 Lastly Let us long for the time when Jesus Christ shall appear in all his glory 168 to the end The First SERMON ON The Nature of God THE last day you may remember wee opened that Point of the condition that men are in that live without a God in the world It is evil to bee without bread without friends without outward comforts how great an evil then to bee without a God in the world and who they were that did live without a God in the

from the dead that is that look as the first fruits did sanctifie all the rest and all were consecrated in the first fruits being offered to God So all the elect ones in Christs Resurrection did rise again I say vertually in him and it was a pledge of their Resurrection the Resurrection of their souls spiritually to life here and their Resurrection to eternal life and so wee are to exercise our faith upon Christs Resurrection this is the mystery of godliness in Christs Resurrection and hence is that known place in 1 Tim. 3.16 Without controversie saith the Text great is the mystery of godliness God was manifested in the flesh justified in the Spirit A wonderful mystery there is in godliness why what mystery God was manifested in the flesh the Son of God came and took our nature upon him that was wonderful but this is as great a wonder as the other Justifyed in the Spirit it is all one as by being justified upon his Resurrection by the power of the Spirit hee was quickned and life was put into him and so hee rose again and thereby was declared before all the world to bee justified to stand acquitted from all the charge of our sins that was upon him and so if you compare that place Justified in the Spirit with that in 1 Pet. 3.18 Put to death in the flesh but quickned by the Spirit that is by the power of his God-head hee was quicked upon his Resurrection now that that one Apostle saith quickned another saith justified to shew that when hee was quickned that is rose again by the power of his Deity then both hee and all the elect ones stood just in the presence of God acquitted of all their sins and this is the mystery of godliness There is abundance in every one of these but it is not my purpose to handle the Resurrection of Christ or his Assention but meerly to give you a little glimpse of the mystery of godliness that there is therein that you may understand him aright so as you may bee able to exercise your faith upon him not onely Dying and Humbled but Conquering and Rising Christ Wonderful in his Ascention And for the Ascention of Christ into heaven the manner of it was wonderful There comes a cloud and carries him up and the Disciples stands gazing it was a wonder to bee gazed at the Ascention of Jesus Christ body and soul into heaven in that glorious way But especially if wee consider that Christ ascended likewise as our head ascended into heaven as the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies And it is said that wee are set together in heavenly places together with Christ so you have it in Eph. 2.6 And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in ●hrist Jesus For Christ went as in our names to take possession of heaven this is the mystery of godliness in Christs Ascention Hee went up to Heaven but hee went in the name of the Elect to take possession as a man that hath bought house and lands may have one appointed by him to go in his name to take possession of the house and land Jesus Christ in the name of all the elect from the beginning of the world to the end went up unto heaven to take possession there and on purpose to prepare Mansions for them against their coming Thus wonderful was Christ in his Ascention Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father And in heaven Christ sits at the right hand of the Father thereby declaring that God the Father was well-pleased with all that hee hath done because hee sets him at his right hand after Christ had made an end of all his work hee is said to sit down in Heb. 10.12 This man after hee had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever sate down on the right hand of God hee had done his work and God the Father approves of him and so honors him in setting him at his right hand and there gives unto him all power to rule together with himself as you heard in his Kingly Office and there hee is to make Intercession continually for his Elect and hath that weight of glory put upon him that is possible for humane nature to have put upon him that is the meaning of sitting at the right hand of God these four things are meant by it First When hee came to heaven God the Father that hee might acknowledge that his Son had fully done the work that hee was sent into the world about hee doth honour him by setting him at his right hand Secondly Hee gives unto him all Authority and Power to Reign together with himself Matth. 28.18 Thirdly There hee is as the High Priest to make Intercession for his Saints to bee their Advocate continually at the right hand of the Father to make Intercession for them Heb. 7.25 And then fourthly It is to signifie that Christ hath the highest degree of glory that it is possible for humane nature to bee capable of Therefore you must not understand the right hand of God in a corporeal way as if God had right hand or left but sitting so in those four respects as I have named And all these make Christ a wonderful Redeemer hee that shall come up to God the Father in Heaven and to have God own his being fully pleased with what hee did upon the Earth and there setting him upon his own Throne to reign with him and there to bee for ever to make intercession for the Saints and to have the height of all glory to bee bestowed upon him Certainly this is a wonderful Redeemer Christ wonderful in his coming to Judgement And then Christ shall in a wonderful manner come to judge the world again then hee shall come to bee admired indeed so you have it in 2 Thes 1.10 2 Thes 1.10 When hee shall come to bee glorified in his Saints and to bee admired in all them that beleeve Those that do beleeve in Christ they see him to bee wonderful now they do admire at him but when hee shall come again in glory at the great day then hee shall appear so wonderful as they shall all stand admiring and saying Well wee indeed heard that our blessed Saviour was the wonder of the world and wee saw so much as made us admire at his glory but wee never thought that wee had had such a glorious Saviour as now wee see wee have wonderful and glorious is Jesus Christ now but when hee shall come with his thousand thousands of Angels and when there shall bee such a wonderful change in the world the Elements melt with fervent heat and the Heavens depart like a scroul and the Heavens and Earth shaken and all the Princes and Monarks in the world and all the children of men appearing before him Oh wonderful then shall hee bee in his attendance and then in his own person Wonderful shall hee bee then in the

manner of his proceedings in bringing forth all the books of Gods forbearance and the books of mens conscience and the book of the word to proceed with men and Angels for their eternal estate in this Christ will appear then to bee wonderful Thus Christ is wonderful in his humiliation and in his exaltation But further a word or two more Christ wonderful in his working towards his Saints and in the high esteem that the Saints have of him Great and marvellous are thy works O Lord God Almighty who would not fear thee O thou King of Saints The great things that Christ doth in the world towards his Churches are wonderful and the great esteem his Saints have of him they account all things as dung and dross for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ And hee shall bee wonderful eternally hereafter in the highest Heavens and there hee will bee the matter of the wonder of all the Angels and Saints and the matter of the admiration and the praises that God shall have to all eternity it shall bee from what the Angels and Saints do see in Jesus Christ therefore surely hee will bee wonderful in Heaven And then wonderful when the understandings of the Saints shall bee elevated to the highest pitch that they are capable of sometimes wee do wonder at things because of our ignorance ignorant people will wonder almost at any thing at the works of Arts and Sciences they wonder because they know but little but now that that the most understanding man in the world shall wonder at certainly it hath some great excellency in it Now Christ shall not bee the wonder of the Saints onely while they are here in in this world but when they shall bee in Heaven and have their understandings enlightened and enlarged to the height that possibly they can bee enlarged to and yet even then Christ shall bee their wonder and they shall wonder at Christ more than they do now abundantly Certainly that hath real excellency in it indeed and great excellency that the more understanding a man is the more hee shall admire at it perhaps poor people they may wonder at some men for their parts yet if they had any great understanding themselves they would see such a mans parts had little in them but if a man had such parts that the more any man came to understand him the higher in degree their understandings were the more they should wonder certainly this man had a great deal of excellency in him indeed So it is in Christ that when the Saints shall bee elevated to the height they shall so much the more admire at him Further In Heaven Christ shall bee wondred at for ever many things are wondred at for the present I but the wonder quickly ceases wee use to say of strange things they are but of nine daies wonder but Jesus Christ is not onely a wonder at first when the soul comes first to embrace Jesus Christ It is true poor sinners at their first embracing Jesus Christ for the very novelty of those things they see in him they do admire at them they never did understand such things before but the truth is if that grace bee true thou shalt not onely wonder when thou comest to Christ at first at the excellency in him but the longer thou continuest a Beleever the more thou wilt wonder and when thou comest to Heaven after thousand millions of millions of years thou wilt wonder as much at him as thou didst the first moment those men that have made profession of Religion and seem'd to come to Christ they wonder at first hearing of the Gospel like the stony-ground that received the word with joy Oh how wonderfully are they affected at the first hearing of the glorious things of the Gospel but now mark their wonder quickly ceases and their joy ceases within a little while they do not now see so great excellency to admire at it neither have they so great joy but where there is true Faith there the soul doth not onely wonder at Christ at his first comming to Christ but still more and more to all eternity And now my Brethren mee thinks that all wonders in the world should lye by a while upon this wonder of Christs being presented to you and as wee read in Dan. 6. of one that came in a vision and said Gabriel make this man to understand the visio● so shall I call to a Gabriel no to Jesus Christ to the Immanuel hee that is the great wonder Oh blessed blessed Redeemer make these souls to understand these things to understand somewhat of this wonder wee have many wonders of our own and wee tell this and that news but O that Christ would but shew himself now to your souls that you may understand somewhat of this wonder that your hearts may bee for ever taken off from wondring at any thing in this world I have seen saith David an end of all perfection but thy Law is very broad So wee may say and the heart would say that were brought to Christ Oh Lord I have seen an end of all the great things in the world but Jesus Christ is very great and glorious indeed it is hee that hath darkened all the glory that there is in the world but now I may say of all these things as it is said of Daniel in chap. 12. vers 10. None of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand these things that are spoken of Christ the wicked they will not understand those that God hath not given unto Jesus Christ will not understand but they will bee content to part with Christ for any thing for all this O detestable wickedness that there is in the heart of man that after this that hath been revealed to you about Christ so much of his glory held forth for the wonder of the world that after this yet thou shouldest prize thy base lusts before all the good and the glory that there is in Jesus Christ certainly that man or woman must needs have the Angels in Heaven and all the Saints to acknowledge the righteous judgement of God in the condemnation of them that hath lived under the Gospel and hath heard what a wonderful Saviour is come into the world if such a one should yet go away and prize a base filthy lust before all the good and glory that there is in Jesus Christ take heed of this certainly if it bee so if any of you bee found at the great day still going on in the waies of known fins this will bee your charge You lived in such a place wherein you heard that my Son was the great wonder of the world and glorious things were shewed you to allure you to beleeve in him and yet hee was nothing in your eyes but your own vile lusts were more glorious in your eyes O just and righteous is the condemnation of this creature for ever certainly the sin of unbeleef the sin
