these Capernaites did for the loaves Take heed it be not so with us If we come unto Christ see that we come with upright and sincere hearts out of an earnest desire of having Union and Communion with him So coming unto him now take this as an evidence of Gods gracious Donation that we are by him given to his Son as also of Christs gracious reception So coming unto him we shall not be rejected of him So it followeth in the last branch of the Text And him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out There have we the third and last Proposition or Doctrine Those who come unto Christ he will in no wise cast out {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} or {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Non ejiciam for as To open the Phrase To Cast out properly it imports an Ejection or Expulsion a casting out of some place or company Thus we read how the Iewes cast Stephen ont of the City {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Act. 7. 58. And our Saviour out of the Synagogue John 9. 34 35. They cast him out saith the Text {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} viz. out of the Synagogue as the 22. verse explaines it And in such a sense do some here understand it I will in no wise cast out That is say some out of my Kingdom of Glory So Augustine here looketh upon it Hither it is that all those who are given to Christ all Gods Elect shall come they shall come unto him in his Chamber of presence his magnu● penetrale as he calls it that is his Marriage-chamber and being once entred there he shall never eject never cast them out again But this Maldonate excepts against as not being so proper to this Text where Christs promise is unto those who come to him by faith Now there is no room for no use of faith in heaven where all shall live by sight We walk by faith and not by sight saith the Apostle 2 Cor. 5. 7. intimating faith to be proper for earth and sight for heaven where faith and hope shall be swallowed up of vision and fruition And therefore let we that go though in it self a truth And not unlike is that Interpretation of Cyril who understands this of the last Iudgment at which time all wicked and ungodly ones all unbelievers shall be cast out So our Saviour tells the unbelieving Iewes Math. 8. 12. The children of the Kingdom meaning them who looked upon themselves as such being the only people then under a visible Covenant shall be cast out into outer darknesse And so shall it be with all other ungodly persons Then shall Christ say to the Goats on his left hand Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Mat. 25. 41. But so shall it not be with his Elect his Sheep whom he shall then set upon his right hand speaking to them in another language Come ye blessed of my Fathtr inherit the Kingdom prepared for you c. v. 34. Then shall not they be cast out but admitted and received into those everlasting mansions Which is also there set forth in the same Chapter under the Parable of the wise and foolish Virgins the one of which are said to be kept out the other received into the Mariagechamber v. 11 12. fitly representing the different entertainment of believers unbelievers at the day of the general Judgment A truth also but liable to the same exception with the former which also the aforesaid Author puts in The coming which our Saviour here speaketh of is by faith B●t so shall not men come unto him at that day The souls of Gods Saints being once entred into their glory living by sight which they do being separated from their bodies they shall henceforth have no more use of faith Now abideth faith saith the Apostle 1 Cor. 13. 13. viz. whilest we live here not so after death not so at the last Iudgment when men shall see and feel what now they do or will not believe So then what our Saviour here saith of his not casting forth those that come to him must be understood of this life Those who here come unto him by faith believing on him he will in no wise cast out Quest But yet the Question runs on How not cast them out here Ans. To this Grotius returnes an Answer that they being thus come unto Christ he will not for his part cast them out of his Kingdom of grace being entred as Schollars into his School from whence he conceives this Expression to be borrowed he will not expell them Thus saith he do froward School-masters sometimes deal by their Schollars expell them without any just desert But so will not Christ deal by his Schollars those that come to him being once his they shall ever be so for all him continuing and abiding with him if they will But this savouring rankly of the Arminians founding mans perseverance in Grace upon the liberty of his own will I reject it as unsound More solidly to hold you no longer in suspense by Casting out here understand we rather a Rejection than an Ejection a Repelling than an Expelling Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out Non repudiabo non repellam I will not refuse and reject him but will receive and embrace him bidding and making him welcome So may we most fitly look upon the phrase here as having a {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} a {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} in it intending more than it speaks importing a gracious reception with a loving and lasting entertainment Thus will the Lord Iesus Christ receive all those that come unto him by faith he will own them and entertain them as his and that for ever Two things conceived to be comprehended under this Expression 1. He will receive them entertain them Him that cometh unto me I will not cast out Even as a publick Host saith Maldonate should say the like terms If any man come to me I will not cast him out his meaning would be apprehended to be not I will not cast him out of my house having once received him in whereof no man would make any doubt but that he will not refuse any such guests but would readily receive them into his house bidding them welcome giving entertainment to them making provisions for them And in such a sense understand we our Saviour here where he maketh the like Proclamation Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out That is I will not refuse nor reject him but will readily receive him into my house my Church where I will receive and make him welcome giving entertainment to him providing for him whatever shall be requisite in order to his salvation applying to him the merit of my
