every way he carryed himselfe as much as earth would suffer him as they doâ— in heaven Certainly He that hath the hope of a heavenly kingdome is pure as Christ â—s pure He endeavours and aimes to be holy as God is holy who hath called him Faith is of efficacy to conforme a Christians carriage to the likenesse of him whom he beleeves to be so excellent And therefore they are insidels and have no saving faith prophane persons who live in sinnes that staine their consciences and blemish their conversation not beleeving that there is a heaven Deceive not your selves neither Whoremongers nor Adulterers nor Extortioners c. shall inherit the kingdome of God Doe men who live in these sinnes without remorse thinke to come to heaven as though they should come out of the puddle to heaven no no away you workers of iniquity I know you not faith Christ. Let no man cherish presumptions of a heavenly kingdome except hee abstaine from all sinnes against conscience The Apostle when hee would urge to holiness of life uses this argument If you be risen with Christ seeke those things that are above where Christ is at the right hand of the Father Well let us oft I beseech you present unto our soules the blessed condition to come which will be effectuall to quicken and stirre us up to every good duty and comfort us in all conditions whatsoever What will a man care for crosses and losses and disgraces in the world that thinkes of a heavenly Kingdome What will a man care for ill usage in his pilgrimage when he knowes he is a King at home Wee are all strangers upon earth now in the time of our absence from God what if we suffer indignities considering that we have a better estate to come when we shall be some body What if wee passe unknowne in the world It is safe that we should doe so God will preserve us to his heavenly kingdome and all that we suffer and endure here it is but a fitting for that place David was a King annointed many yeares ere hee was actually possessed of his Kingdome but all that time betweene his annointing and his investing into the Kingdome it was a preparing of him by humility that he might know himselfe and learne fitnesse to govern aright So wee are apointed Kings as soone as we beleeve for when we beleeve in Christ who is a King Priest and Prophet wee communicate with his offices we have the same blessed anointing powred on our Head and runnes downe about us But we must be humbled by crosses and fitted for it wee must bee drawne more out of the world and bee heavenly minded first Would you know some rules of discerning whether heaven belongs to you or not In brief doe but remember the qualification of them that must reign those that labour daily to purge themselves of all pride and self-confidence that see no excellencie in the creature in comparison of heaven that see a vanity in all outward things which makes them humble in the midst of all their bravery those that see themselves empty of al without Gods favour The poore in spirit c. theirs saith Christ is the Kingdome of Heaven 2. Faith makes us Kings because thereby wee marry the King of Heaven the Church is the Queene of Heaven â—and Christ is the King of Heaven Where this grace is in truth happines belongs to that soule 3. Those that are Kings have aâ—royall spirit the hopes of a yong Prince puts into him a great deale of spirit otherwise perhaps above his disposition So all that are Kings have a royall spirit in some measure which naiseth them above all earthly things and maketh them see all other things to bee nothing in comparison of Christ to bee but drosse and dung as holy S. Paul saith Those therefore that are slaves to their base justs to riches honour pleasure c. know not what belongs to this heavenly Kingdome What doe men thinke to reigne in heaven when they cannot raigne over their owne hase corruptions Wee see David prayes to God for an inlarged spirit that hee might bee capable of the best things and certainely those that have this knowledge are of a spirit above the world more excellent than their neighbours as the Wiseman saith You cannot shake them with offers of preferment or with feares they will not venture their hope of eternity for this or that base earthly thing they are of a more royall spirit than so I beseech you therefore let us discerne of our spirits what they are whether God hath stablished us with a free spirit or not the kingdome of Heaven is begunne upon earth the doore whereby wee must enter in is here Those graces must be begunne here which must fit us for happinesse hereafter as the stones of the Temple were first hewne and then laid upon the Temple so wee must bee he wne and fashioned here ere we can come thither those that are not fitted and squared now must never thinke to be used of God as living stones of his Temple then A word now of Pauls use of all and so I conclude To whom be glory for ever and ever When he had mentioned the heavenly kingdome and set himselfe by faith as it were in possession of it hee presently beginnes the employment of heaven to praise and glorifie God even whilst hee was on earth For faith stirres us up to doe that which wee shall doe when we obtaine the thing beleeved it is called the evidence of things not seene and makes them as it were present to the soule Because when we are in heaven indeed we shall doe nothing else but praise God Faith apprehends it as if he were now there for all is sure to faith God having said it who will doe it and sets the soule upon that employment here which it shall have eternally with God hereafter It is therefore Christian wisdome to fix our soules on good meditations to have them wedded to good thoughts to have those praeclar as cogitationes beâ—itting Christians that may lead us comfortably in our way to heaven Let a man thinke of Gods deliverances past and that will strengthen his faith for the future deliverances Let him thinke of future deliverances and that will lead him to a kingdome to praise God and this praising of God will stretch his soule forâ—ver and for ever as if there were no time sufficient to glorisie God that is so excellent and glorious What a blessed condition is this to have Gods spirit warming our soules and perfuming our spirits with holy ejaculations continually putting us upon the employment of heaven till at length it hath safely brought us thither Here then is the use of al uses What is the former use which Paul makes of the experieÌ„ce of Gods deliveraÌ„ce The Lord hath delivered me aud therefore he will deliver me but what use doth he make of this that God
by us Let not us lose such a pledge of future happinesse as glorifying God is Oh that men would praise the Lord saith David who fearing lest God should lose any glory from his creatures stirres up Angels and all creatures to blesse the Lord God takes it very unkindly when we do not observe especially the excellent peeces of his workmanship A foole considereth not this c. The Lord hath done marvellous things for his Church of late whereof we should rejoyce Wee should doe as Moses did when hee came out of the sea as the Church in resemblance of that deliverance from Egypt did who sang the song of Moses being delivered from their spirituall Pharaoh We see now the viall poured upon the Sunnâ— we see the Prophecies against Antichrists kingdome in fulfilling God hath vouchsafed to strengthen our saith by experience wee have something to lay hold on which may incourage us to expect more from God and to look for those Hallelujâ—â— to be sung from all creatures in heaven and earth upon the utter confusion of Antichrist which whosoever labours to hinder any kinde of way hinders the glory of God and the joy of his people It is good to observe how the Scripture sets out the enemies of God Church in a double representation 1. as terrible terming them Lyons Bulls c. 2. as Base comparing them to chasse and dust before the winde dung c. that when wee see them in their present ruffe and jollity we should stay our selves with consideration of their future besenesse Faith looks on things as present because it looks upon them in the word of Iâ—hovah who will give a being to all his promises and threatnings and therefore faith is called the subsistence of things not seene because it gives a kinde of being of things to the minde and affections of man as if they were present therefore the beleeving of the finall deliverance of Gods people and the ruine of his enemies cannot but raise up the soules of good men to a marvellous degree of joy and thankfulnesse to God Who would not feare to cleave to Antichrist if they did but present to themselves by faith the certaine ruine of that state which the Scripture sets downe in a Propheticall manner as a thing already present Babylon is fallen c. But to come to a more particular application sutable to the present time the occasion and the text are as parallel as may be Our gun-powder-plotters were as pregnant in mischiefe as ever these For conception It could not but come from beneath the Vault there was the very qnintessence of devillishnesse in it Sathan emptyed all his bowells as it were in this project If all the devills in hell were set a worke to devise the like they could hardly doe it There was scarce from the begginning of the world a designe more prodigious and unmercifull of greater depth and extent of villany Were not this Anniversary Commemoration of it posterity would hardly beleeve that a plot so hollish could be hatched in the hearts of men of English men of Catholike men as they would be termed of men so borne withall notwithstanding their dangerous corresponcy with forraine enemies and but halfe subject their better parts their spirits being subject to another visible head who can untye the bond of Allegiance at his pleasure Neither did they onely conceive this hellish wickednesse but were bigge of it and kept it close many moneths and pleased themselves in the same as monstrous and mishapen as it was there wanted neither wit nor counsell nor combination nor secret incouragement to effect it Nay it was an holy villany sealed with oathes sacrament and all the bonds of secrecy that could be invented Oh horrible prophanation to set Gods seale to Satans plot But God who delighteth to confound all presumptuous attempts discovered it when it should have come to the birth and so it proved but the untimely fruit of a woman They brought forth a lye for whereas they intended to have blowne up King and Kingdome Church-men Church Statesmen yea the whole State it selfe all at once without any warning to prepare themselves for another world they not only missed of this but brought that ruine upon themselves which they intended to others whereas they thought for ever to have established their Religion shall I call it or Idolatry or superstition they have by this meanes made it more odious than ever before As the Northerne Gentleman could say that though he was not able to dispute yet hee had two arguments against Popery equivocation and the Gun-powder-treason But they turne it off easily as they thinke Alas it was but the plot of a company of unfortunate gentlemen It was our happinesse that they were unfortunate whereas if it had succeeded well they would have had other termes for it successefull villany goeth for vertue Well the net is broken and we are delivered God thought of us when wee thought not of him and awaked for us when we were asleepe here is a place for behold for what a miserable face of things would there have been if their plot had succeeded Now what returne shall wee make for all this they conceived mischiefe let us conceive praise and travell of holy resolutions to give up our selves to God who hath given us our King our State yea our selves to our selves He hath given us our lives more than once every one of us in particular especially in the last heavy visitation but had it not beene better for many in regard of their owne particular to have beene swept away in that deluge than to live longer to treasure up further wrath to themselves Many are not content to goe to hell alone but they will draw as many others as they can into their fellowship here and torment hereafter Oh beloved the preservation of such is but a reservation to further iudgement What good got the King of Sodome by being delivered once and then after to bee consumed with fire and brimstone from heaven What got Pharaoh by being delivered from ten plagues and then to perish in the Sea What are all our remporall deliverances if wee live still in sin goe on in sinne die in our sinnes and so perish eternally Blessings without returne of due thankes increase the guilt of sin and the increase of guilt causeth the increase of judgements The most proper homogeniall way of thankes is to stirre up our selves to a greater harred of that Religion they would saine free it as if it were the fault of some persons onely but alas what can be else distilled from those dangerous points they hold as that the Pope hath teâ—porall jurisdiction over Princes that he may excommunicate them that he may out of fulnesse of power dispence with the oath of allegiance that he cannot erre that subjection to him is a point of absolute necessity to salvation c. What I say can be distilled froÌ„ these
from sinfull workes This we may build on that either God will preserve us in life or if we die he will preserve us in death to his heavenly Kingdome And sometimes God preserves by not preserving from death for indeed death keepes a man from all danger whatsoever hee is out of all gun-shot when he is once dead death is a deliverance and a preservation of it selfe it sends a man to heaven straite and therefore the Apostle knew what he said The Lord will preserve mee to his heavenly Kingdome That is he will preserve me til I be possest of Heaven hee will goe along with me in all the passages of my life he will cary me through all and bring mee thither at last As the Angell that strooke off Peters bolts shined in the prison and carryed him out into the City So God by his Spirit shines into our soules and carryes us through all the passages of this life never leaving us till he have brought us to his heavenly Kingdome And not to open unto you things that are beyond my conceit much more my expression what a state this heavenly kingdome is unto which S. Paul hoped to be preserved observe briefely thus much 1. It is a Kingdome of all conditions the freest 2. The most glorious 3. The most abundant in all supplies 4. It is a heavenly Kingdome 5. It is an everlasting Kingdome Things the neerer the Heavens they are the purer they are 1. heaven is a most holy Kingdome no uncleanenesse can enter there 2. it is a large Kingdome and 3. an everlasting Kingdome Other mens Kingdomes determine with their persons perhaps they may live to out-live their glory in the world as Nero did the king that Paul was under now when hee wrote this Epistle who came to a base end But this Kingdome can never be shaken Gods preservation shall end in eternall glory Here is a speciall ground to Gods children of perseverance in weldoing what doth God undertake even from himselfe to deliver us from evill works which might indanger our salvation and to preserve us untill he have put us into heaven where is the popish doctrine of falling away then Oh but I may sin and so fall away I but God will deliver us from evill workes he takes away that objection Hee that keepes Heaven for us keepes us for heaven till he have put us into possession of it We are kept we are guarded as the word is by the power of God to salvation Salvation is kept for us and we for that If we indanger heaven any way it is by ill workes and God keepes us from them what a most comfortable doctrine is this But to adde a second against that foolish vaine and proud point of Popish Merit we see what a straine they are in first before conversion they will have Merit of congruitie that it befits the goodnesse of God when we doe what we can that we should have grace 2. When wee are in the state of grace they will have Merit of condignity but how can that be when as free grace runnes along in all God preserves us from evill workes and preserves us to his heavenly Kingdome of his meere love and mercy where then is the merit of man Indeed wee doe good when we doe good but God inables us wee speake to the praise of God but he opens our mouth we beleeve but God draws our heart to it as Austin sayes we move but God moves us I beseech you observe further here How compleat Gods favours are to his He deales like a God that is fully and eternally with his children If he deliver it is from the greatest evill if he preserve it is to the greatest good Who would not serve such a master O the basenesse of the vile heart of man that is a slave to inferiour things and affraid to displease men never considering what a blessed condition it is to be under the government of a gracious God that will keepe us from ill if it be for our good for ever Outwardly from evill workes inwardly from the terrors of an il conscience that will preserve us here in this world and give us heaven when we have done I beseech you let this compleate and full dealing of God quicken us to a holy courage and constancy in his service And see here a point of heavenly wisdome to looke when we are in any danger with the Apostle to the heavenly Kingdome When we are sicke look not at death Paul cared not for that but sayes he The Lord will preserve me to his kingdome Hee looked to the bank of the shore as a man that goes through a river hath his eye stil on the shore so the Apostle had his eye fixed upon heaven stil I beseech you therefore in all dangers and distresses whatsoever if you would keepe your soules without discouragements as you should bee much in heaven in your thoughts minding the things above and conversing with God in your spirits Look to the Crowne that is held out to us let our mindes be in heaven before our soules It is a wondrous helpe to our weakenesse in the time of trouble not to thinke I am full of paine I must be turned into the grave and rot and what shall become of me then c. away with this carnall reasoning it much weakens faith and damps the hearts of Christians Againe How doth this arme the soule with invincible courage in any trouble God may call mee to trouble but he will preserve me in it that I shall not staine my conscience What a ground of Patience is this Patience is too meane a word what a ground of joy and triumphing is it We rejoyce under the hope of glory Rom. 5. 2. A Christian should triumph in soule over all evills whatsoever and be as the Apostle faith more than a Conqueror considering that God will be present with him all his life long and after that bring him to an everlasting kingdome what an incouragement is this Heaven is holy and shall we not fit our selves for that blessed estate There is much holinesse required for heaven the sinfull wicked malicious poysonfull world layes reproaches upon holinesse but without it no man shall see God Doth that man beleeve he shall obtaine a heavenly kingdome who never sits himselfe with holinesse for it Oh no Faith and hope have this efficacie in the breast wheresoever they are to frame the heart to the thing beleeved If I beleeve a kingdome to be where righteousnes and holinesse dwelleth this beliefe forceth me to carry my selfe answerable to the state there And therefore saith the Apostle Our conversation is in heaven from whence we looke for the Savioure c. because he was assured of heaven therefore he conversed as a Citizen of heaven before he came there Hee praised God kept himselfe undefiled of the world and conversed with the best people
have the Church and Common wealth flourish to have a happy Kingdome happy government and happy lawes not onely to have the Church in his owne Familie but that the Church may flourish in those that stand up when we are gone the way of all flesh and therefore to declare the minde of God and his favours to us and our children that they may strengthen their experience with their fathers experience and say to God Thou art the God of my Fathers therefore be my God those that are called to places of dignity should consider that it is required at their hands to labour that there should be meanes to continue Religion even to the worlds end if it may be and to stoppe all the breaches in this kinde And if it were possible it were to be wished that there were set up some lights in all the darke corners of this Kingdome that might shine to those people that sit in darknesse and in the shadow of death One way is to have a care that there be no breaches made upon the sound doctrine that is left unto us and hath beene sealed up by the blood of so many Martyrs Wee had it dearely it hath beene taught by our forefathers and sealed with their blood shall we betray it No let us labour to deliver it to our posterity from hand to hand to the comming of Christ and then wee shall in effect and not in word onely doe that which Paul saith here labour to glorifie God for ever and ever both in the Church and in heaven Surely those that will glorifie God in heaven hee will have them so disposed to glorifie him on earth It is a dangerous thing when persons are naught wee see what comes of it especially if they be great It is said of Manasseh when God had forgiven him his sinne yet afterwards God plagued the Kingdome for the sinnes that Manasseh committed how can this bee because he by his sinne though he repented himselfe yet set the Kingdome in an evill frame And no question but hee had naughty principles and among people that are given to licentiousnesse if there bee any thing in great men it will goe to posterity after them So that when Governours are naught they are not onely a poison to the Church and State while they live but the mischiefe of it is after and after still And so it is in the best things if the Governour be good hee layes a foundation of good for the Kingdome in time to come as well as for his owne time How will it shame a man when he shall thinke I doe these things now but what will Posterity thinke of me what will be the remembrance of it when I am gone then my name will stinke The wicked Emperour Nero was of this resolution wheÌ„ he should die Let Heaven and Earth mingle together saith he when I am gone He knew himselfe to bee so naught and that he should be so evill spoken of that he wished there were no posterity but that the world might end with him So it is the wishes of those that are wretches themselves and that lay a foundation of wretched times after they wish that Heaven and Earth may mingle that no man might censure them when they are gone What a shamefull condition is it for men to gratifie a number of unrulie lusts and give such sway to them as to doe ill while they live and to lay a foundation of misery for after-times On the contrary what a good thing is it like Iosiâ—â— and Nehemiah to bee full of goodnesse while wee live and to lay a foundation of happinesse and prosperity to the Church and State when we are gone What a happy thing is it when a man is gone to say such a man did such a thing he stood stoutly for the Church for Religion he was a publique man he forgat his owne private good for the publique he deserved well of the times wherein hee lived What a blessed commendation is this next to Heaven to have a blessed report on earth and to carry such a conscience as will comfort a man that he hath carryed himselfe well and abounded in well doing I beseech you let us thinke of this For ever and ever it is not enough that we be good in our times that are circumscribed to us but as God hath given us immortall soules and preserves us to immortall glory and a crowne of immortality so let our thoughts and desires be immortall that God may be glorified in the Church world without end Oh what a sweet comfort will it be when we are on our death-bed to thinke what we have done in our life times then all our good actions will come and meet together to comfort and refresh our soules The better to incourage us to glorifie God while we are here and to lay a foundation to eternize his glorie for the time to come Consider I. Gods gracious promise Those that honour me I will honour If we had inlarged hearts to honour God God would honour us he hath passed his word for it If a King should say so O how would we be set on fire how much more when the King of Kings saith it 2. Consider that wee honour our selves when wee honour God nay the more we honour God the more we are bound to God for it is from him that wee honour him the sacrifice comes from him as well as the matter for which we sacrifice Hee found a Ramme for Abraham to sacrifice hee gives the heart to be thankfull the more wee are thankfull the more we shall be thankfull and the more wee ought to bee thankfull for our thankfulnesse The more wee praise God the more we should praise him for it is the gift of God when God sees we honour him and frame our selves that we may be such as may honour him by emptying and disabling our selves to be sufficient to doe him any service he will bestow more upon us as men cast seed upon seed where there is fruitfull ground but they will sow nothing upon a barren heath So the more we set our selves to doe good in our places the more we shall have advantage thereunto and the more wee doe good the more we shall doe good When God sees wee improve our talents so well that he trusts withall he will trust us with more Againe consider Our glorifiing and praising God causeth others to doe so which is the main end wherefore wee live in this world It is the imployment of Heaven and we are so much in heaven as wee are about this worke and when God gives us hearts to glorifie him here it is a good pledge that he will afterward glorifie us in heaven Who would lose the comfort of all this to be barren and yeeld to his base unbeleeving dead heart to save a little here to sleepe in a whole skin and adventure upon no good action Who would not rather take a course
