A41488	God a good master, and protector opened in severall sermons on Esaiah 8.13.14 / by Iohn Goodwin ...	Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.	1641 (1641)	Wing G1168; ESTC R22549	88,532	456

be_v idol_n with_o all_o their_o train_n and_o retinue_n of_o worshipper_n shall_v suffer_v the_o law_n of_o their_o vanity_n and_o be_v destroy_v but_o he_o that_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o i_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n that_o be_v shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n and_o be_v settle_v in_o his_o own_o land_n in_o peace_n which_o golden_a vein_n of_o promise_n enrich_v we_o abundant_o with_o the_o precious_a assurance_n of_o this_o that_o god_n be_v in_o for_o the_o protection_n and_o deliverance_n of_o those_o that_o depend_v upon_o he_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n as_o much_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n come_v to_o and_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o ever_o he_o will_v loose_v or_o forfeit_v such_o a_o pledge_n etc._n etc._n 2_o and_o this_o happy_o be_v worthy_a some_o observation_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n usual_o take_v occasion_n upon_o such_o promise_v as_o these_o make_v for_o the_o relief_n and_o deliverance_n of_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o god_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n and_o trouble_n to_o commend_v and_o magnify_v the_o most_o infallible_a truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o this_o reason_n especial_o as_o i_o conceive_v because_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o it_o suffer_v most_o from_o the_o unbelieved_a heart_n of_o man_n in_o such_o promise_n as_o these_o and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o interpose_v a_o special_a testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v on_o purpose_n to_o prevent_v and_o disappoint_v the_o spirit_n of_o unbelief_n in_o i_o that_o that_o may_v not_o rise_v up_o so_o much_o as_o to_o mutter_v or_o whisper_v against_o it_o in_o this_o behalf_n thus_o psalm_n 12._o 5_o &_o 6._o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v that_o for_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o sigh_v of_o the_o needy_a he_o will_v arise_v and_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n vers_fw-la 6._o the_o prophet_n subjoin_v this_o elogium_fw-la or_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n or_o promise_v of_o god_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v pure_a word_n as_o silver_n try_v in_o a_o furnace_n of_o earth_n purify_v seven_o time_n that_o be_v thorough_o purify_v till_o all_o the_o dross_n be_v consume_v and_o purge_v clean_o from_o it_o so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o pure_a and_o solid_a mettle_n remain_v mean_v that_o there_o be_v no_o lightness_n or_o looseness_n at_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o but_o every_o jot_n and_o title_n will_v bear_v the_o weight_n if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a world_n lay_v upon_o it_o so_o prov._n 30._o 5._o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a that_o be_v every_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v solid_a massy_a and_o entire_a truth_n he_o be_v a_o shield_n to_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o etc._n etc._n 3_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n and_o fitness_n between_o this_o duty_n this_o addresment_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o god_n in_o away_o of_o reliance_n and_o dependence_n upon_o he_o and_z his_o addressing_z himself_o to_o the_o creature_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n and_o deliverance_n there_o be_v a_o sutablenes_n &_o answerablenes_n between_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o as_o it_o a_o thing_n meet_v &_o comely_a in_o the_o creature_n to_o stay_v itself_o upon_o god_n and_o to_o wait_v his_o leisure_n for_o its_o deliverance_n so_o be_v a_o compliance_n in_o god_n with_o his_o creature_n in_o this_o posture_n as_o it_o be_v of_o dependence_n comely_a and_o glorious_a in_o he_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v no_o apparel_n to_o put_v on_o in_o all_o that_o infinite_a charge_n and_o variety_n he_o have_v more_o glorious_a or_o wherein_o he_o can_v commend_v himself_o and_o his_o greatness_n upon_o high_a term_n to_o his_o creature_n than_o this_o his_o save_v those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o hence_o it_o be_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o strengthen_v their_o hand_n in_o prayer_n usual_o plead_v their_o faith_n and_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n as_o if_o this_o be_v a_o ground_n and_o foundation_n to_o build_v a_o assure_a hope_n upon_o that_o god_n now_o will_v not_o reject_v they_o psalm_n 33._o 21_o 22._o sure_o our_o heart_n shall_v rejoice_v in_o he_o say_v david_n because_o we_o have_v trust_v in_o his_o holy_a name_n let_v thy_o mercy_n o_o lord_n be_v upon_o we_o as_o we_o trust_v in_o thou_o as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o pawn_n sufficient_a of_o his_o faith_n that_o god_n will_v send_v he_o help_v wherein_o he_o shall_v rejoice_v so_o psalm_n 25._o 2._o o_o my_o god_n i_o trust_v in_o thou_o let_v i_o not_o be_v ashamed_a etc._n etc._n so_o again_o psalm_n 86._o 2._o o_o god_n save_o thy_o servant_n that_o trust_v in_o thou_o 4_o hence_o likewise_o it_o be_v that_o when_o man_n have_v be_v idolater_n and_o lift_v up_o their_o hand_n to_o strange_a god_n and_o yet_o will_v expect_v that_o the_o true_a god_n shall_v save_v and_o deliver_v they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o trouble_n he_o send_v they_o for_o help_n and_o deliverance_n to_o their_o false_a god_n who_o they_o have_v choose_v and_o rely_v upon_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o fit_v for_o those_o that_o be_v trust_v and_o rely_v on_o to_o deliver_v and_o protect_v those_o that_o rely_v on_o they_o see_v instance_n hereof_o in_o scripture_n and_o read_v judge_n 10._o 14._o jer._n 2._o 28._o esa_fw-la 57_o 13._o etc._n etc._n hence_o it_o be_v also_o that_o god_n purpose_v to_o save_v and_o deliver_v his_o elect_a from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v and_o to_o bestow_v everlasting_a life_n &_o happiness_n upon_o they_o will_v not_o yet_o actual_o confer_v his_o salvation_n and_o glory_n upon_o they_o till_o they_o first_o shall_v believe_v and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v his_o son_n christ_n to_o pay_v their_o ransom_n and_o make_v atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o also_o cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v write_v wherein_o the_o history_n of_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n together_o with_o the_o whole_a frame_n or_o body_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o will_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v declare_v and_o this_o gospel_n to_o be_v carry_v up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n from_o place_n to_o place_n from_o nation_n to_o nation_n to_o be_v preach_v unto_o man_n that_o so_o man_n may_v first_o believe_v in_o he_o through_o christ_n or_o by_o mean_n of_o christ_n as_o peter_n speak_v 1_o pet._n 1._o 21._o before_o they_o enter_v into_o their_o glory_n by_o all_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n think_v his_o mercy_n and_o favour_n and_o deliverance_n especial_o do_v best_a and_o be_v give_v by_o he_o upon_o most_o equal_a and_o righteous_a term_n when_o they_o be_v graft_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o faith_n and_o give_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o those_o that_o expect_v and_o wait_v for_o they_o before_o they_o come_v 5_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o god_n by_o a_o special_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n shall_v uphold_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n to_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o help_v or_o to_o expect_v deliverance_n from_o danger_n from_o he_o and_o then_o shall_v not_o deliver_v they_o he_o shall_v disrespect_n and_o discountenance_v the_o workmanship_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n yea_o that_o piece_n of_o work_n wherein_o he_o take_v special_a delight_n the_o scripture_n every_o where_o derive_v the_o original_n and_o dissent_n of_o faith_n from_o god_n see_v heb._n 12._o 2._o act._n 18._o 27._o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n will_v have_v respect_n to_o his_o own_o work_n and_o will_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v they_o that_o they_o may_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v he_o again_o if_o he_o incline_v and_o move_v and_o persuade_v the_o creature_n true_o and_o unfeigned_o to_o rest_v and_o stay_v itself_o upon_o he_o for_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n as_o he_o do_v if_o the_o thing_n ever_o be_v do_v no_o man_n take_v hold_v upon_o god_n but_o god_n himself_o guide_v and_o strengthen_v his_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o certain_o he_o will_v not_o neglect_v much_o less_o shame_n and_o confound_v this_o great_a work_n of_o his_o own_o which_o he_o shall_v do_v if_o he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o creature_n to_o miscarry_v or_o perish_v under_o it_o lord_n say_v david_n psal_n 10._o 17._o thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a or_o humble_a thou_o will_v prepare_v or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o margin_n establish_v their_o heart_n thou_o will_v cause_v their_o ear_n to_o hear_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o god_n prepare_v or_o

main_a and_o masterstream_n describe_v if_o man_n be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a dexterity_n and_o exactness_n to_o make_v due_a application_n of_o such_o knowledge_n upon_o such_o occasion_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o testimony_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n witness_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o he_o have_v for_o any_o space_n of_o time_n walk_v before_o god_n with_o all_o faithfulness_n and_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n without_o hypocrisy_n this_o doubtless_o be_v a_o sufficient_a and_o lawful_a foundation_n whereon_o to_o raise_v a_o hope_n and_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o salvation_n i_o mean_v for_o salvation_n by_o christ_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n not_o for_o the_o testimony_n sake_n nor_o faithfulness_n sake_n or_o the_o like_a because_o god_n have_v promise_v salvation_n to_o such_o i_o mean_v to_o those_o that_o walk_v before_o he_o in_o way_n of_o faithfulness_n integrity_n etc._n etc._n and_o no_o question_n god_n may_v be_v safe_o depend_v upon_o for_o whatsoever_o he_o promise_v according_a to_o the_o term_n and_o condition_n of_o his_o promise_n so_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o a_o man_n true_o love_v god_n or_o the_o brethren_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v he_o may_v hereupon_o lawful_o and_o safe_o depend_v upon_o god_n for_o salvation_n because_o god_n have_v establish_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o sign_n thereof_o 31._o again_o if_o i_o depend_v upon_o god_n for_o salvation_n upon_o this_o ground_n because_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o god_n will_v save_v i_o in_o particular_a if_o through_o christ_n i_o come_v unto_o he_o or_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o i_o make_v little_a question_n but_o such_o a_o dependence_n also_o will_v stand_v before_o god_n and_o draw_v heaven_n after_o it_o because_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n notwithstanding_o there_o be_v two_o main_a difference_n beside_o it_o may_v be_v many_o other_o between_o these_o and_o such_o like_a branch_n or_o lesser_a stream_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o body_n as_o it_o be_v or_o main_a stream_n thereof_o late_o mention_v in_o respect_n of_o advantage_n and_o commodiousness_n to_o raise_v our_o hope_n or_o dependence_n on_o god_n upon_o first_o a_o man_n can_v very_o hardly_o if_o at_o all_o come_v at_o any_o of_o these_o particular_a branch_n of_o this_o knowledge_n to_o make_v foundation_n of_o they_o of_o his_o trust_n or_o dependence_n upon_o god_n except_o he_o first_o lay_v hold_v on_o the_o main_a body_n itself_o as_o for_o example_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o either_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o conscience_n witness_v unto_o he_o his_o faithful_a and_o upright_o walk_v before_o god_n or_o that_o his_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o brethrren_a or_o that_o a_o persuasion_n of_o his_o own_o salvation_n by_o christ_n in_o particular_a or_o the_o like_a can_v be_v any_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o he_o to_o depend_v upon_o god_n for_o salvation_n except_o he_o first_o believe_v &_o be_v establish_v in_o this_o main_a truth_n that_o god_n for_o his_o son_n christ_n sake_n without_o any_o other_o consideration_n whatsoever_o yea_o and_o against_o any_o other_o consineration_n whatsoever_o will_v give_v life_n and_o salvation_n to_o all_o those_o without_o exception_n that_o through_o christ_n shall_v trust_v in_o he_o he_o that_o stick_v or_o stagger_v about_o the_o receive_n or_o believe_v of_o this_o truth_n doubtless_o can_v never_o be_v thorough_o ground_v or_o strong_o build_v upon_o those_o other_o because_o these_o be_v as_o branch_n shoot_v out_o of_o that_o main_a stock_n depend_v thereon_o subordinate_a and_o subservient_fw-fr thereunto_o whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o man_n may_v raise_v a_o true_a hope_n &_o dependence_n on_o god_n for_o salvation_n before_o he_o can_v come_v at_o any_o of_o those_o inferior_a ground_n mention_v to_o build_v upon_o as_o either_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o conscience_n touch_v his_o faithfulness_n and_o uprightness_n before_o god_n or_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o unfeigned_a love_n to_o god_n or_o man_n or_o a_o persuasion_n of_o his_o personal_a salvation_n etc._n etc._n namely_o upon_o this_o great_a foundation_n of_o truth_n that_o whosoever_o through_o christ_n shall_v believe_v on_o god_n shall_v be_v save_v which_o be_v before_o a_o man_n at_o all_o time_n and_o be_v it_o not_o wisdom_n to_o take_v the_o first_o opportunity_n we_o can_v come_v at_o to_o build_v our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n 32._o but_o second_o a_o more_o material_a and_o considerable_a difference_n be_v that_o those_o inferior_a and_o subordinate_a ground_n we_o speak_v of_o as_o the_o conscience_n of_o our_o uprightness_n sense_n of_o our_o love_n persuasion_n of_o personal_a salvation_n and_o the_o like_a upon_o which_o especial_o if_o not_o only_o most_o man_n labour_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n to_o build_v and_o settle_v their_o hope_n and_o dependence_n on_o god_n for_o salvation_n be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v distinct_o clear_o and_o satisfy_o discern_v and_o judge_v of_o they_o be_v very_o few_o that_o can_v or_o dare_v conclude_v with_o any_o confidence_n that_o their_o uprightness_n be_v a_o uprightnes_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o perfection_n which_o god_n have_v seal_v for_o a_o infallible_a pledge_n or_o sign_n of_o salvation_n to_o ensue_v and_o so_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n how_o rare_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o find_v either_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n so_o full_o satisfy_v touch_v the_o truth_n of_o such_o a_o affection_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o build_v upon_o it_o a_o

that_o happy_o not_o without_o just_a cause_n by_o other_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o these_o and_o such_o like_a ground_n of_o hope_n and_o depend_v upon_o god_n be_v so_o tickle_a &_o slippery_a so_o obnoxious_a to_o jealousy_n doubt_n and_o fear_n be_v because_o though_o the_o rule_n be_v as_o certain_o true_a here_o as_o in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o true_a that_o he_o
