when he pours out a Spirit of Grace upon his people Secondly He alwaies and more especially when he is seeking the ruine of his enemies joynes these two a Spirit of Grace and of Supplication Are there not many that can testifie by their own experience concerning the works of these times that the Heart of God in a Spirit of Grace hath bin let down into the Bosom of his beloved ones that thus their hearts have bin by a Spirit of Supplication drawn up into the Bosom of God and have drawn forth these deliverances from the Wells of Salvation there These Wells are Deep the Deep things of God his Love his Wisdom his Righteousness his power his Glory as these lie in the very depths of his Essence and Divine Nature But Saints have had their Buckets their Hearts to draw with and a line a Spirit of Supplication long and sure enough to let down their hearts into these deep Wels of Salvation which are in the Heart of God These Wells are stil ful of living Waters and these Buckets are stil going Saints keep your expectiations stil fresh Secondly The spirit of Grace is a spirit of Prophecy Esai 43. 9. God challengeth al the Nations Let them bring forth their witnesses who among them can shew us former things that is things before they come to pass or things before their times before the world by a spirit of Prophesie Verse 12. I have declared and have saved and I have shewed when there was no strange God among you therefore ye are my witnesses saith the Lord that I am God Hath not the Lord many Witnesses in these Nations yea here present I know he hath In the former daies when ye were with him at your Banquets of spiritual enjoyments on your Bed of spiritual Loves then did he by his spirit before hand signifie within you the snfferings of these times and the Glory which hath risen out of them And as he hath declared so hath he saved us by the same Spirit And now tel me ye that are the Lords witnesses when ye are in your holyest seasons when there is no strange God or Love but Jesus Christ alone shines in the midst of your spirit doth he not stil shew you greater things than these which are yet to come Thirdly The spirit of Grace is a spirit of Holiness Ephes. 1. 13. It is called a Holy spirit Ye were sealed with the Holy spirit of Promise Holiness is the Character and Seal of that spirit of Grace which is promised to the Saints Psal. 99. 8. Thou answeredst them O Lord our God thou wert a God that forgavest them though thou takest Vengeance of their iniquities The Lord testified his presence with the Jews in the Wilderness by his Holiness in taking Vengeance of their Inventions There is a Three fold Vengance which the Lord takes for Sin First On the Persons and this three waies 1. By Casting them off for ever 2. By Cutting of the inward Beams of spiritual Communion between himself and them for a season perhaps for al their life long 3. By Clouding their outward Man with trouble and sorrow God alwaies pardons iniquity to the Persons of his Children in respect to the first of these Vengances He cannot give them over or cease to love them sometimes also in respect to the second and third He continues the sweetness of their Communion with him and the Serenity of their natural comforts un-interrupted Secondly The Second Vengance for sin is on the publike Cause Thus the Lord did forgive the Israelites in the Wilderness and not take Vengeance on the publike Cause For though they al died in the desert yet the Lord kept his cause a live carryed that Victoriously over Jordan into the Land of Canaan and planted it to grow there for many generations The Third Vengance on the Inventions on the Corruptions and Idols of the Heart In this sense the Lord never pardons any The Spirit which hath bin our guide hath Signally declared it self a Spirit of Grace by its abundant Forgivenesses and a Spirit of Holiness by the Vengance which it hath taken for Sin When any have risen up against him his Purity his Progress from the Enmity of the Serpent he hath made the Earth to open and swallow them up into the darknesses below by a Natural or Civil Death he hath made fire to come down from Heaven a spiritual fire of Divine judgement and wrath by which they have bin so withered dryed and burnt up that they have lost al that Greenness of Religion Honor Honesty Morality Natural light which they seemed before to have and have fallen to open Perfidiousness to ranting Profanenesses to a reprobate Sense a stupid Atheisticalness But when the Children of the Kingdom have transgressed by temptations of Covetousness Ambition Fleshliness Passion Delusions Spiritual Pride have fallen to Murmurings Divisions Sensuality Worldly Designs although this Spirit may have pardoned all this to their Persons hiding them in the cleft of the Rock in the wounds of Christ there preserving their Outward their Inward Life and Peace while he hath passed by yet hath he taken open Vengeance of their Inventions by manifest eminent Disappointments in their Expectations and endless confusions in the way of their Designs Yet all this while hath the Holy Spirit pardoned the sins of all Parties to the Cause He hath not suffered that to fall but hath gone on when it seems to faint renewing its strength carrying it up on high as on an Eagles wing enlarging it in Victory Peace Spiritual Liberties at home spreading its Branches over the Seas and to Forraign far distant Lands breaking the Head of the Leviathan the chief strength of Antichrist in the deep Waters Fourthly The Spirit of Grace is a Spirit of Vnity Ephel 4. 3. Endeavoring to keep the Vnity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace Vnity is the Character the most immediate and inseparable Property of the Spirit The Bond of Peace hath its strength and root in the Vnity of the Spirit as the Sympathy and Vnion of all the Fellow members in the Body arise from and is preserved by One Soul by the Vnity of the Soul There is a Twofold Vnity First of Inward Affection Secondly of Outward Effect As to the Latter of these I had rather much speak in silent Groans to God than by words to men bleed inwardly than breath forth outward Complaints for the Breaches of the Daughter of my People But so far as concerns the First of these the Inward Affection to Vnity let me call forth you who have the Testimony in your selves that it hath been the Spirit in the Living Creatures in the Hearts of the Saints quickened by the Life of Christ which hath been in the Wheels that have turned about and carried on this whol work from the beginning hitherto I appeal to you What are the Meltings the Weepings over the Divisions among the Saints What Yearnings and turnings of Bowels after a
al Created Nature What new what strange things what Miracles may we look for now in the government of the world especially when the Church is concerned seeing that our Lord Jesus in this Capacity as he is at the Right hand of God set above al Rankes and orders of the whol Creation is made Head over al things for the Church Jesus Christ could work no Miracles in one place because of the unbeleefe of the Inhabitants Our unbeliefe in that we see not the Lord Jesus as Esaiah saw him by a Spirit of Prophesie fitting upon this Throne of the divine Nature high and lifted up above every Principality and Power is the Reason why we have no more Miracles no more of his new and extraordinary Works in the midst of us It is our unbeleefe that we do not see and acknowledg those wonders which he hath wrought and is stil working while he fils the whol earth with his glory from his Throne John 6. 57. Jesus saith He that eats me shal Live by me even as I live by the Father Revel. 10. 9. 11. The Angel give St. John a Book to Eate and then tells him that he must prophesie before many peoples and Nations and Tongues and Kings If we did eate this spiritual and Heavenly Person of Christ which is the Book of Life that Word comming forth from the mouth of God on which alone man Lives If we did by faith in the vnity of the spirit take in concoct digest turn into Nature and Nourishment these Evangelical truths concerning the Person of Christ above al given to his Church the Headship of Christ over al for his Church how certainly then and how speedily should we be fed with Honey from the Rock we should live in our own Persons in our private publike Capacitys upon a constant dayly Stream of Miracles comming down from the Father we should draw down and carry forth waters of life from the depth of the Godhead before the Kings of the Earth and into the midst of the Nations Thus much for the First Argument taken from Jesus Christ Arg. 2. The Second Argument is drawn from the Holy Spirit As the way of God is in Christ having his New name written upon his Person so the Way of Christ in his Church and in the world for his Church is in the Spirit and after the Newness of that Rom 7. 6. But now we are delivered from the Law that being dead wherein we were held that we should serve in Newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the Letter The Soul of man is here set forth as having two Husbands The first Husband is the First Adam the Flesh the Natural Man This being slaine by the death of the Lord Jesus the Soul is set free from him and from his Law which is a Law of sin and Death Her second Husband to whom she is married upon the Death of the first is the last man the Glorified Person of Christ as He is in the Resurrection from the Dead And now the Soul is subject only to the Law of this Husband which is the Law of Free Grace of Love raigning by Righteousness which is the Beavty in the Face of the God-head unto Eternal Life through Jesus Christ by Vertue of our Marriage-union with him the Love Righteousness and Immortality of God the Father letting it self forth upon his Person first then in and through him upon us unto our Justification Sanctification and Glory That we should serve As to Fear God in the old Testament and to beleeve in the new so in both to serve him comprehends al parts of Religion the whol Communion between God and the Soul by which God Ministers himself in streams of Truth Grace and joy to the Soul or the Soul Ministers to him by recejving him by recejving al from him by receiving him together with al and by returning it self and al things to him in Love humility obedience thanksgiving The two ways of this Service are the Oldness of the Letter and the newness of Spirit The Letter is that Law which is proper and fitted to the Principle of Nature the flesh the first Adam in his power and purity The Spirit is the Law of the New man the Heavenly Image and second Adam as He is risen from the dead and stands in a Root of Glory from thence blossoming and bringing forth fruit in al his Members The Letter is like unto a Cestern The Spirit is the Fountain The water in a Cestern hath its stint and set measure it is a standing water which hath no spring to quicken it it is apt to corrupt with standing and to dry away Such is the Law of the Letter It is shut up in an outward narrow form and measure it hath not its root in it self it grows old it darkens withers and dies away But the Spirit is a Fountain and as a Fountain hath a Five-fold Newness of Life of Lustre of Purity of Variety of Immortality But here now although it may seem to be a digression from my present scope yet give me leave by the way to interpose a Caution very proper for this discourse of the Letter and the Spirit which is that you mistake not the Ryot Excess and Inordinacy of the flesh for the Newness Freedom and Extraordinariness of the Spirit To assist you in this Caution take this Distinction between the Novelties and Extravagancies of the flesh and the Newness and Extraordinariness of the Spirit First There is a Newness in which there is somthing unchangable an inward Principle a hidden Nature a Life a Rellish which is ever the same however the outward operations and manifestations vary The Life of the Spirit is as a Tree The Tree is new in the Spring the Summer the Autumn having for every Season its fresh puttings forth of Leaves Blossoms Fruit ripe Fruit Yet the Tree is still the same hath the same Root Sap and Nature Secondly There is a Newness where all things are changed not only the outward puttings forth but the most inward Principle where there abides nothing of the savor This is like that change where the Rod of Moses being cast upon the ground was made a real Serpent and the Dust of Egypt being cast up into the Air became living Lice Now as they say in Phylosophy Species et Essentiae rerum sunt sempiternae et immobiles The Essences and Kinds of things are ever the same however there be an Infinitness of uncertainty and change in the Individuals by the variety and change of outward Accidents So in a Saint compared with himself through the whol time of his Regeneracy or compared with all other Saints in all Ages ther is the same new nature the same inward saver in the Principle in the Spirit although the inward forms upon the understanding may have great change according to the different degrees and wayes of Light as also the outward forms of life and Conversation may have great variety in
Re-union Do you not in the secret of your hearts in your secret Meetings bleed forth your souls before the feet of your Savior at every breach in his Body as at a Wound or the Cutting off of some Member in your own Body As Jacob lamented over the loss of his Children Joseph is not Simeon is taken away from me you would have Benjamin also all these things are against me So you mourn such Brethren left us at such a change these Saints are not with us in this change and there are others ready to divide themselves from us at the next turn of affairs al these things are against us As the spirit of God spreads it self over the deep of darkness at the beginning of the Creation like a Bird over her naked yong ones till they be hatcht up and fledged to form it to a beautiful and harmonious World Light and Order Do you not after the same manner perceive the Spirit of Vnity on your souls stretch forth it self over all your fellow Members that lie in a Chaos in a Deep of Darkness Division and Confusion As Iesus Christ once wept forth these Words over Jerusalem As a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wings How often would I have gathered thee but thou would'st not So he weeps so he speaks the same words in your Souls to all his divided Brethren in these Nations as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wing how long have I called and waited and longed to gather you up into the Vnity of my Spirit that you might not by your scatterings become a prey to the Kite but hitherto you will not Joseph when he thought fit to speak roughly and deal severely with his Brethren with much difficulty concealed his affections was forced to make hast into a private room to weep Hath this been your temper when the wisdom of State or the season hath made it seem necessary to you to handle any one of Christs Flock roughly have your Bowels been turned within you hath it been hard and grievous to you to act this strange part and to hide your affections have you inwardly and privately melted into tears while you have openly thundered out hard speeches Do you not much more contend with God by Spiritual Wrastlings to have the hearts of all his People that differ from you than you do by outward force or policy with them to have the upper hand of them If these things be thus go on and prosper When Esau came with an Army against Jacob his Brother Jacob wrastled with God at Penuel which signifies the Face or Vision of God he conquered his Brother the most excellent way like a Prince in conquering God and carrying away a Blessing by Conquest Esau when he met him instead of drawing his Sword upon Jacob embraced him and offers him those Bands for his Guard which came forth Enemies Could one Jacob thus subdue the Heart of rough Esau and shal not many Jacobs by their strong cries in the Ears of God and tears in his Bosom prevail with God for a Victory of Love over the Hearts of many Jacobs only disguised and concealed under the rough hairy Garments of Esau Yes the hour is coming in which you shall come forth hand in hand in Spiritual Dances and answer one another with Spiritual Songs saying These our Brethren were lost but now are they found in our arms These Brethren were dead one to another but now behold they live together in the Vnity of the Spirit As Joseph and his Brethren so shal you after long Concealments be discovered one to another in a Light of Heavenly Love then shal ye fal one upon anothers Necks and weep for joy then shal you say We meant evil but it was the Lords contrivance who hath turned all to good Thus shal ye receive one another into the Glory of God as Christ hath received you Fiftly The Spirit of Grace is a spirit of love to Jesus Christ It makes his person alone and the Glory of that to be the Mark and Price of our calling Phil. 3. 14. As water wil ascend as high as it first descends so the spirite which is often compared to water is like water in this if it come down from Christ it wil carry the ayme and affections of the soul to Christ That which is the first Principle is the last end If it be Jesus Christ who hath been the first principle of motion in our hearts he wil be our only End we shal terminate and rest no where but in him When Jacob had served an Apprentice-ship of seven years for the Love of beautiful Rachel he was marryed by Laban to bleare-eyed Leah Did this satissie Jacob No He chose to endure the hardship of another service for seven years more to suffer the heats by day and frosts by night in the open fields that he might gain his first Love If it were a Conjugal Love to the person of Christ which moved us to undertake and undergo the hard service of so many years in difficulty danger in a field of warre Blood and Death we cannot now lie down and take up our rest in the Embraces of the blear-eyed Beavty of this World though it be given to us in marriage and be exceedingly fruitful to us No We shal begin another service of as many years more in prayers in conflicts in sufferings of al sorts til he whom our Souls love come and give his own person into our Armes As the Spouse in the Canticles Cant. 3 4. We shal never cease til we hold his glorified person in our Marriage-Embraces never to let him go more until we bring him into our Mothers house into this visible World to make al things new and to raigne here as he doth in Heaven It is not this that a Saint seeks thorow Seas of water and Blood to rob the Nations of their Gold but to communicate to them this God It is not this which is his joy and tryumph to see his enemys drowned in the Floods but to let in the Rivers of Christs blood upon them to over flow them and that they may die the Death of Christ only When Alexander drew neer to Jerusalem with his conquering Army he was met by the High Priest in all his Ornaments his Garment his Girdle his Ephod his Urim and Thummim of Gold Silk Sky-color Purple White all sorts of precious Stones with the most Holy Crown upon his Head which was the Figure of the Glory of Jesus Christ at the right hand of the Father in Heaven as he is our true High Priest Alexander seeing him said In this very form did that God appear to me in a Dream by night in Macedonia who commanded me to pass over into Asia and undertake this War Upon this account he used the Jews with all Kindness and Honor My end in bringing in this Story is to make this Application of it If we have had any glimpses in our Spirits of our dear

For the Savour of thy good Oyntments saith the Spouse to Christ thy name is as an Oyntment powered forth Therefore do the Virgins love thee Draw us and we wil run after thee The spirit of Christ in the brightness and sweetness of its light Purity Love Joy is this Oyntment powered forth No Savour is good to a virgin-Virgin-Spirit but that alone of these Oyntments Where there is a Virgin love to Jesus Christ the Soul is drawn to run after any excellency only by this Savor by the light and sweetness of the spirit as this Oyntment is poured forth there As it is in the Objects of sight there is the Material Object and the Formal The Material is the thing seen as a flower a Picture The Formal is the colors by which it is seen Besides these is the Light in the Ayre which actuates these colors and makes them to appear So is it in things pertayning to the understanding and Judgment The outward appearance is but the Materiality of the Object the shinings forth of the inward principle is the Formality the Color But the Holy Spirit is the only Light by which the discoverys of the principles of things are drawn forth and laid open I have done now with the Second Vse and come to the Third Vse 2. This is for Exhortation If God go forth in New waies let us be New that we may be fit to meet him and go along with him We read in the Gospel of the Pool of Bethesda John 3. 2.
