Inheritance for euer Psal 30.5 103.9 His wrath endures but a moment but in his fauour is euerlasting life Heauinesse may endure for a night but ioy commeth in the morning The Clouds of our sinnes shall not alwaies shadow the loue of our Sauiour but as the Sunne at length shall breake forth to our endlesse comfort These Iewes though they were stubborne and rebellious hardning their hearts increasing their hatred against Christ yet will hee not quite leaue and forsake them but once more resolues to draw neere vnto them and herein hath he expressed his wonderfull loue by which hee would faine ouercome our ingratitude in that he refuses not to draw neere to miserable sinners Men willingly draw not neere for good to 1. Strangers 2. Poore and miserable 3. Professed enemies There bee three sorts of men in the world which we would bee loth to draw neere vnto for good the first are strangers the second are poore and miserable the third are professed enemies As for strangers we would not come neere vnto them for poore and miserable we scorne to come neere vnto them for professed enemies Iewes all these notwithstanding Christ drawes neere to them we dare not come neere vnto them All these were the Iewes to Iesus yet hee drawes neere vnto them First they were strangers and that in Grace and Goodnesse yet Christ will come vnto them Secondly they were poore and miserable and that in regard of their sinnes yet Christ could not be kept from them Thirdly they were professed nay protested enemies for surely in their hearts they had vowed to kill him else would they not haue spread so many nets to take him yet hee striues to saue them in drawing neere vnto them Hath he dealt thus alone with them To the Gentiles to vs and our Land though like in condition to the Iewes though for a while he hid his face vtterly refusing all other people or was his affection so set vpon the Iewes that the Gentiles could not taste the sweetnesse of his loue Oh no! For as he dealt with them so likewise with vs and our land I must confesse how once hee hid his face from vs shewing himselfe so sterne and wrathfull as though he neuer would be intreated by vs. For in Queene Maries daies the bloudy banner of persecution was displaied and the fearefull drum of terrible threatning Fire and Fagot was strucke vp the shrill Trumpet of mournefull lamentation was heard in euery corner Rachel weeping for her children Matth. 2.18 and would not bee comforted The pale grim Sergeant Death was met in euery street who neither spared nor pittied young nor old man nor woman rich nor poore infant nor suckling but arrested all that would be godly yet soone had that night an end and the louing countenance of the Lord our God like vnto the morning Sunne did most comfortably arise vpon our land in the beginning of Queene Elizabeths reigne of famous memory and euer since hee hath drawne neerer and neerer vnto this present day In so much as I may truly say and I hope say nothing but the truth that he is now approched so neere in the Chariot of his loue and mercy as he neuer was neerer to any Nation from the beginning to this day For he is now arriued at the palace of our soules he is alreadie come to the gates of our affections Reuel 3.20 and now stands knocking at the doore of our hearts with the hammer of his sacred word and so Lord Iesus continue still till thou hast got a full possession of our bodies and soules The seuerall waies that God drawes neere a Nation are many for he comes not to his people alwaies after one sort though still to one end he is like a skilfull Musician that sings new songs with diuersitie of Moddes and variety of Notes God drawes â—eeâ— a Nation by 1. His Word Sacraments yet all to one end namely for the good of his owne people The first way that he drawes neere to any Nation is most commonly by his Word and Sacraments for he is that Son of man which walketh in the midst of the seuen golden Candlesticks Reu. 1.13 Ap. 22.16 and Ap. 1.16 that is in the midst of his seuen Churches He is that bright morning star that holds the seuen starres in his right hand who although they shine yet receiue they their light from him his Word is himselfe and he is his Word therefore where his Word is truly preached his Sacraments constantly administred both carefully receiued and conscionably practised there is Christ present 2. For his mercies Secondly he drawes neere in bestowing great mercies as when he giues vs gracious Princes zealous Magistrates painfull Ministers religious people a flourishing commonwealth al which we haue had do enioy the Lord continue theÌ„ for euer amongst vs. 3. By afflictions Thirdly he drawes neere when he sends afflictions either inward or outward vpon body or minde for affliction is the rod which hee euer holds in his hand to correct his children withall needs therefore must he come very neere when he laies this rod vpon the bodies of his people 4. By deliuerances Fourthly he drawes neere when he deliuers from any imminent danger as when he saues vs from fire water sword wilde beasts or strong enemies thus he drew neere the three children Dan. 3.17 when he saued them from the fire Exod. 14. vlt. the Israelites when he saued them froÌ„ the water Daniel when he kept him from the lions Dauid when he hid him from Saul Esay 43.1 2 5. this the Lord confesseth by the mouth of his holy Prophet saying When thou passest thorow the waters I will be with thee and thorow the flouds that they doe not ouerflow thee when thou walkest thorow the very fire thou shalt not be burnt neither shall the flame kindle vpon thee From whence wee plainly see that the Lord drawes neere his Church when he deliuers them from great dangers Fifthly the Lord drawes neere by signes and tokens either in the aire or in the earth or in the water 5. By extraordinary signes in the elements and creatures Mark 13.29 6 By the motions of his Spirit For when ye see these things come to passe saith Christ then know that the sonne of man is at hand Sixthly the Lord drawes neere by the motions of his holy Spirit as when he inflames a land city family or priuate person with godly desires with heauenly Meditations with comforts consolations in their soules If the iron rise of it selfe we may be sure the Load-stone is not far off so if our minds which are more heauier than lead be eleuated and lifted vp towards heauen our hearts which by nature delighteth in nothing but euil doe now begin to thirst after godlinesse we may be sure Christ is not far from vs. Seuenthly and lastly 7. By death the Lord

But to take notice of all those which did not onely laugh at sinne but would not lament for sinne for their destruction O therefore let vs with our louing Sauiour sorrow and grieue for our sinfull brethren vsing all meanes to turne them from their wicked course of life imbracing the man but hating his manners rebuking him sharply for his great offence Prou. 27.5 for an open rebuke is better then a secret loue then it may be thou shalt pull his soule from Satan which if thou canst but so doe thou maiest sit downe with ioyfull Iacob when he heard of Iosephs life Gen. 45.25 I haue enough my sonne is liuing 2.
