This war is the perswasion of sin or carnal objects on the one side and the law of God on the other commanding the contrary In this Combat the person which hath not the grace of Christ to sustain him will by his carnal appetite be led to do those things which the Law tells him he should not do which if he do and continue in them this condition you will have no colour of reason to mistake for a regenerate estate The serving of sin or Captivity to the law of sin is all one with the reigning of sin a sure token of the unregenerate III. Prov. 28. 13. Who so confesseth and forsaketh his sins shall have mercy forsaketh i. e. in hearty sincere resolution abandons the sins of the old man shall have mercy and none but he God will not pardon till we in heart reform and amend They that say our sins are pardoned before we convert to God and resolve new life are in a dangerous error which is in effect to exclude Justification by faith that first grace of receiving Christ and resigning our hearts up to him and must be in order of nature precedent to our Justification or pardon of sin or else can be neither instrument nor condition of it B. I. ROm. 12. 20. Thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head That 's the way that Metallists use to melt those things that will not be wrought on by putting fire under them So if you heap kindnesses upon the head of your enemy the injurious person you may hope to melt him and make a friend of him which is the noble victory of a Christian to overcome evil with good II. Math. 5. 5. The meek shall inherit the Earth Literally the promise is all one with that annexed to the fifth Commandement A prosperous long life is ordinarily the meek mans portion which he that shall compare and observe the ordinary dispensations of Gods providence shall find to be most remarkably true especially if compared with the contrary fate of turbulent seditious persons This temporal reward can no way deprive him of the eternal The earth here is a real inheritance below and a pawn of another above III. Matth 5. 39. Resist not evil or the injurious evil man We Christians must beare small supportable injuries without hurting again or so much as prosecuting and impleading the injurious person In weightier and more considerable matters tho we may use means to defend ourselves and to get legal reparations for our losses yet even it those the giving way to revengeful desires is utterly unlawful C. I. MAtth. 5. 48. Be ye therefore perfect Instead of which St. Luke hath Be ye merciful Whence you may note this Mercy or Almes or Benignity to enemies to be the highest degree of Christian perfection II. 1 Cor. 16. 2. Let every one of you lay by him in store as God hath prospered him This place seems to require all to be set apart that comes in by way of gain for t is not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whatsoever It was it seems a peculiar case at that time for relieving the poor Christians at Jerusalem However hence may every rich man or thriving man every one that hath either constant revenue or gainful Trade learn to lay by him such or such a proportion for charitable purposes that it may be ready for such occasions as God shall offer to them III. Matth. 5. 16. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works There is a great difference between doing our good works so that men may see them and doing them to be seen of men and again between doing them that men may glorifie our Heavenly Father and that we may have glory of men The former is only a charitable care that your good actions may be exemplary to others the latter is a desire that they may be matter of Reputation to our selves Which reputation if we aim at that shall be our only reward instead of that which otherwise God would give Such is the folly and unhappiness of this sin of vain-glory The Fourth Meeting A. I. MAtth. 6. 17. When thou fastest anoynt thy head and wash thy face As for thy outward guise appear in thy ordinary countenance and habit the Jews were wont to anoynt themselves daily unless in time of mourning that thou appear not to men to fast that no man out of thy Family be witness of thy private Fasts but to thy Father which is in heaven that thou maist appear desirous to approve thy self to him only who only is able to reward thee II. Luke 6. 30. From him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that receiveth by way of loan any of thy Goods 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 require no usury according to the notion of that word in the Text. Which being joyned with give to every man that asketh of thee denoteth a work of mercy as indeed lending is a prime way of mercy The good man is merciful and lendeth Now ordinary prudence will interpret the words so that if a Covetous rich man ask of you you are not bound to give to him but only to him whose wants sets him on asking and so the prohibition to exact or require use of him that borrows belongs not to the poor or mean Creditor when a rich man borrows of him but only when the rich lends to the poor man to whom a free loan is a seasonable mercy III. Act. 2. 46. Breaking Bread from house to house margin at home 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in some house or Room as the upper room Act. 1. 13. assigned and separated from all other to that peculiar use to be the place of Christian Assembly it being by the Jews permitted them to pray in the temple but not to break bread or administer the Sacrament v. 47. having favour with all the people 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 having or exercising charity whereby is intimated that offertory which was then and ever since used constantly in the Church of Christ at the receiving of that Sacrament and by the phrase all the people is signified the liberality of those offerings and the impartiality of distribution B. I. 1 COr 6. 10. Drunkards shall not inherit the Kingdom of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vinosi vinolenti from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 strong or sweet wine The word is not to be restrained to those who drink to bestiality to the depriveing of themselves of the use of their reason but belongs to all that drink wine or strong drink intemperately tho through their strength of brain they be not at present distempered by it II. Act. 2. 31. His soul was not left in hell The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which we render hell may signifie the common state of the dead 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the living Soul or that faculty by which we live and the not leaving this in that is
expressâ— thy detestation against my suffâ—â—gs thou offerest to bring me into an horâ— and fear of Suffering and so in effect temptest me to sin But though Peter were an offence to Christ tempted him and said that which was to ensnare him yet Christ was not offended ensnared or overcome by the temptation II. Rom. 14. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not Those who are in Judaical errors are appointed by S. Paul to be tenderly handled not to be Vilified or set at naught And yet Gal. 3. 1. they are by the Apostle reviled and chid out of their Judaical perswafions The reason of this difference is the different estates of the Romans from the Galatians These had been fully instructed by him in the nature of Christian liberty Those had not yet been sufficiently taught to put off the opinion of legal abstinences III. Rom. 4. 3. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness Abraham was Justified by believing and depending on God for the performance of his promise and resigning himself up wholly to him to obey his precepts Or by that Faith which howsoever it was tryed whether by promises of incredible things or commands of very hard duties as killing his only Son did constantly approve it self to be a true Faith without unsinning Obedience or Obedience to the Mosaical law Abraham heing then uncircumcised v. 10. i. e. without Works B. I. GAl. 5. 2. If ye be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing T is spoken of those who urge abolisht Ceremonies as still of force by divine precept upon this ground that Christ coming as the substance typified by those legal Institutions did consequently set a period to their obligingness Which if it should still be urged would be interpretative the denying of Christ and so most justly the forseiting of those Benefits which are to be expected from him II. 1 Tim. 4. 8. Bodily exercise profiteth little This place of bodily exercise doth belong to such kind of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 abstinence continence as are aforementioned Which though when they are taught as necessary to the defaming of marriage or meats as unlawful are then signes of departing from the Faith v. 1. yet considered in themselves as voluntary acts are here said to be profitable in an inferior degree being compared which piety a little profitable or for a little III. Col. 2. 23. In will worship and humiâ—y and neglecting of the body or not sparing That will worship is here taken in a good creditable sence appeareth by the joining of it with two not only lawful but laudable Christian Vertues humility which is Dei hominum reverentia Calv. and mortifying of the body which as an act of self denial cannot be unacceptable to Christ C. I. Col. 2. 23. not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh Not administring to the Body things to the filling or satiating of the flesh 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 care in relieving of wants Matth. 15. 6. Or those abstinences from flesh are commendable for chastning the Body so that in the mean time it be not indulged otherwise as with wine and sweet-meats II. Luke 10. 27. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart i. e. sincerely and above all other things Yet one man may love God in a more intense degree then another doth and the same person may constantly love God above all and yet have higher expressions of that love at one time then another Whence it followes that Free-will offerings are reconcilable with that command III. Gen. 44. 5. And whereby indeed he divineth The cup with which he receiveth presages for 't was it seems but a drinking cup wherein he used to drink in those Sacrifices by which he prepared to receive presages from God The Seventh Meeting A. I. EXod 7 13. And he hardned Pharaohs heart 'T is not to be understood as we réad it God hardn'd Pharoah's heart The words do not bear it nor had any such thing yet been in timated in the story Here is an act of Stubbornness in Pharaoh an obstinate resistance or refusal against Gods calls and miracles There was indeed a prediction of it 2. 19. and that grounded onely on Gods prescience which hath no more influence on the effect nor causality of it then your seeing of any object II. Matth. 16. 19. I will give thee the keyes of the kingdom of Heaven Here as in many other places the kingdome of Heaven signifies the Chruch of Christ militant So 23. 13. the Pharises shutting up the Kingdome of Heaven is the keeping men from entring the Church from becoming Christians Peter and in him the rest of the Apostles and Successors Governors of the Church had the Keyes of the Church given them i. e. clearly a power of shutting out or receiving into to the Visible militant Church of removing the cotumacious by censure of Excommunication and re-admitting them being humble penitents by Absolution III. Matth. 12. 32. It shall not be forgiven him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 impersonally he shall not receive absolution neither in this World i. e. in the Church from the Ecclesiastick Censure nor in the World to come i. e. at the day Judgment B. I. 2. THes 3. 14. Have no company with him that he may be ashamed The end of Excommunication is that the offender may be brought to a sense and shame of his own vileness the most necessary preparative to reformation a great act of mercy and charity though under the shew of Severity It followes v. 15. Count him not as an enemy but admonish him as a brother This binding and loosing is used as a means of exemplifying that great Truth that Christ came to save and reduce that which was lost Matth. 18. 11. II. Matth. 20. 22. Ye know not what ye ask Jesus represseth the Mothers demand by â—elling her she is mistaken in the kind of dignity that should be instated upon his disciples not such a one as in any worldly respects would prove desirable but as a place of great burden so subject to great persecutions and even death it self III. Matth. 20. 26. but it shall not be so among you Heathen princes use their power in order to their own profit and pleasure and praise 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 behaving themselves as Lords and Masters over so many Servants Your pre-eminence brings along with it no great secular felicity but an office of burden and pains and humility and doing of service The pre-eminence of Christ himself was such This excludes not disciples of Christ from power for he ownes the title of Lord and master Joh. 13. 13. but from Lording and governing by violence and in an imperious way seeking their own gain and honour C. I. ROm. 13. 2. They that resist shall receive to themselves damnation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Some render it Judgment as that signifies some temporary punishment which the higher powers may inflict and nothing else But v. 5.
