and all these we must undoubtingly acknowledg that is we must firmly believe all these Divine Excellencies to be in God and that in the greatest degree and so that they can never cease to be in him he can never be other then insinitely Good Merciful True c. 13. But the acknowledging him for our God signifies yet more then this it means that we should perform to him all those several parts of Duty which belong from a Creature to his God What those are I am now to tell you 14. The first is FAITH or Belief not only that forementioned of his Essence and Attributes but of his word the believing most firmly that all that he saith is perfectly true This cessarily arises from that Attribute his Truth it being natural for us to believe whatsoever is said by one of whose Truth we are confident Now the Holy Scriptures being the Word of God we are therefore to conclude that all that is contained in them is most true 15. The things contained in them are of these four sorts First Affirmations such are all the stories of the Bible when it is said Such and such things came so and so to pass Christ was born of a Virgin was laid in a Manger c. And such also are many points of Doctrine as that there are three Persons in the God-head that Christ is the Son of God and the like All things of this sort thus delivered in Scripture we are to believe most true And not only so but because they are all written for our instruction we are to consider them for that purpose that is by them to lay that Foundation of Christian knowledge on which we may build a Christian life 16. The Second sort of things contain'd in the Scripture are the Commands that is the several things enjoyned us by God to perform these we are to believe to come from him and to be most just and fit for him to command But then this Belief must bring forth Obedience that what we believe thus fit to be done be indeed done by us otherwise our belief that they come from him serves but to make us more inexcusable 17. Thirdly The Scripture contains threatnings many Texts there are which threaten to them that go on in their sins the wrath of God and under that are contained all the punishments and miseries of this life both spiritual and temporal and everlasting destruction in the life to come Now we are most stedfastly to Believe That these are Gods threats and that they will certainly be performed to every impenitent sinner But then the use we are to make of this belief is to keep from those sins to which this destruction is threatned otherwise our belief addes to our guilt that will wilfully go on in spight of those threatnings 18. Fourthly The Scripture contains Promises and those both to our Bodies and our Souls for our bodies there are many promises that God will provide for them what he sees necessary I will name only one Mat. 6. 33. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things that is all outward necessaries shall be added unto you But here 't is to be observed that we must first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness that is make it our first and greatest care to serve and obey him before this promise even of temporal good things belongs to us To the soul there are many and high promises as first that of present ease and refreshment which we find Matth. 11. 29. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me and ye shall finde rest to your souls But here it is apparent that before this rest belongs to us we must have taken on us Christs yoke become his servants and Disciples Finally there are promises to the soul even of all the benefits of Christ but yet those only to such as perform the Condition required that is Pardon of Sins to those that repent of them Increase of Grace to those that diligently make use of what they have already and humbly pray for more and Eternal salvation to those that continue to their lives end in hearty obedience to his Commands 19. This Belief of the Promises must therefore stir us up to perform the Condition and till it do so we can in no reason expect any good by them and for us to look for the benefit of them on other terms is the same mad presumption that it would be in a Servant to challenge his Master to give him a reward for having done nothing of his work to which alone the reward was promised you can easily resolve what answer were to be given to such a servant and the same are we to expect from God in this case nay further it is sure God hath given these Promises to no other end but to invite us to holiness of life yea he gave his Son in whom all his Promises are as it were sum'd up for this end We usually look so much at Christs comming to satisfie for us that we forget this other part of his errand But there is nothing surer then that the main purpose of his coming into the world was to plant good life among men 20. This is so often repeated in Scripture that no man that considers and believes what he reads can doubt of it Christ himself tells us Mat. 9. 13. He came to call sinners to repentance And S. Peter Acts 3. 26. tells us That God sent his Son Jesus to bless us in turning every one of us from his iniquities for it seems the turning us from our iniquities was the greatest special Blessing which God intended us in Christ. 21. Nay we are taught by S. Paul that this was the end of his very death also Tit. 2. 14. Who gave himself for our sins that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purifie to himself a peculiar people zealous of good works And again Gal. 1. 4. Who gave himself for us that he might deliver us from this present evil world that is from the sins and ill customes of the world Divers other Texts there are to this purpose But these I suppose sufficient to assure any man of this one great truth That all that Christ hath done for us was directed to this end the bringing us to live Christianly or in the words of Saint Paul To teach us that denying ungodlinesse and worldly lusts wee should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world 22. Now we know Christ is the foundation of all the Promises in him all the promises of God are yea and Amen 2 Cor. 1. 20. And therefore if God gave Christ to this end certainly the Promises are to the same also And then how great an abuse of them is it to make them serve for purposes quite contrary to what they were intended viz. To the encouraging us in sins which they will certainly do if we perswade our selves they belong
