care for this world for there is another world as there are things present so the comfort is there are things to come Care not for this world it is old Adams world it brings oft times much losse to Saints it 's well if thou canst get handsomely rid of it with little sinning It is called a present evill world It was all Christ desired for his Disciples John 17. Not that they might be taken out of the world but kept from the evill of it But there is a world to come which Abraham and all Believers are Heyres of for they were not only heyrs of Canaan but it is expresly sayd in Rom. 4. 13. that they were Heyres of the world Vse 2 Secondly Admire wee this man Christ Jesus whom God hath thus advanced and set up and hath made a world of purpose for him peculiarly for him and his to enjoy and for him and his as under him to rule and govern That he that was the scorn and derision of men for so Christ was when here below that God should raise him up and set him at his own right hand and subject all Principalities and powers unto him and use him in all that great businesse of judging the world If this had been spoken of God it had been no wonder for all Nations of the earth are but as the drop of the bucket to him but to heare it spoken of man who is but a drop of that bucket that this babe or suckling should still Satan subdue Angels have them all under him O how excellent is thy name in all the earth This made the Psalmist admire What is man that thou visitest him Visiting is sometimes put for visiting in anger as in Psalm 59. 9. So God visited Christ at first and when that was done he visited him with favour hee takes that broken shattered man and raiseth him up to crown him with glory and honour What is man He speaks of the nature of man as being united to the God-head What is this babe this suckling that thou shouldst raise him up to such an height All this concerns us for the Psalmist calls him the Lord our God how excellent will his name be one day in all the earth This will swallow up the thoughts of man and Angels to eternity Now put all together and here is the most glorious appearance of a Kingdome that ever eyes beheld more by farre than all the Kingdoms of the world that Satan shewed our Saviour take but what this Chapter holds forth of it First here 's a father of glory mentioned vers. 17. For as God is the fountain of glory so himself is the father of it This father hath an eldest sonne whom he made a man and visited him as you have heard and set him in the Throne at his owne right hand There is your King and to set out the glory of this King he hath Nobles under him as Principalities and Powers and Mights and Dominions he hath them all under his feet Those that are his Friends they fall down and worship him they throw down their Crowns before him and for those that are his enemies hee hath the most glorious conquest over them he sits and makes them his foot-stoole that he may sit the easier And for Satan that great Devill Jesus Christ triumphs so over him that he makes his children set their feet upon his neck here is the highest exaltation that ever was What can be added to make Christ Jesus more glorious one would thinke hee hath enough He is a King over a whole world is advanced in the highest Throne he hath the highest power all is under his feet what is there more to be added Look upon Adam who was the type of Christ he had a world about him he had a Paradice a Court which was peculiarly his as the King of the world if he had stood he was the father of our nature what wanted this man he wanted a wife a helper God himselfe saith so all this was in a type This man Christ Jesus we heare of his advancement ●ar above all Principalities and powers Here is a father of glory and a sonne set in glory and he hath glorious Nobility enough But where is the Queen what saith the-words following He hath given him over all to be the head of the Church above all priviledges else He counteth this the highest and chiefest flowr in the Crown that he is a head to the Church who is his body and the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all as if our Lord and Saviour should have said though I have all this honour and am thus full yet if I have not a body a Church I wan● my fulnesse for the Church is the fulnesse of him that filleth all therefore above all hath God given this to him to be a head to his Church Christ hath all else under his feet but come up saith he to the Church and sit on my right hand Psal 45. As I sit at my Fathers right hand and as I sit down in my Fathers throne you shall sit downe with mee in my Throne And though all things else be under my feet I will have my Church my body sit on my right hand for she is my fulness My brethren Jesus Christ delights more in love then in power Though he be a King and hath all power committed to him yet that doth no whit abate his love he takes care that his Church shall share with him in his glory and greatnesse Oh what is man that thou art mindfull of him the Lord Christ and the Church made up that man THE WORLD TO COME OR The Kingdome of Christ asserted The second Sermon EPHES. 1. 21 22.
