And this word Yet once more signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken as of things that are made that those things which cannot be shaken may remain THe main designe of the Apostle in this Scripture to the Hebrews is to prevail with his Countrey-men who had undertaken the Profession of the Gospel to abide constant and faithfull therein without any Apostasie unto or mixture with Judaisme which God and themselves had forsaken fully manifesting that in such back-sliders the soul of the Lord hath no pleasure Chap. 10. 38. A Task which whoso undertaketh in any Age shall finde exceeding weighty and difficult even to perswade Professors to hold out and continue in the glory of their profession unto the end that with patience doing the will of God they might receive the promise especially if there be Lyons in the way if opposition or persecution do attend them in their professed subjection to the Lord Jesus Of all that deformitie and dissimilitude to the Divine Nature which is come upon us by the fall there is no one part more eminent or rather no one defect more evident then Inconstancie and unstablenesse of minde in embracing that which is spiritually Good Man being turned from his unchangeable Rest seeks to quiet and satiate his soul with restlesse movings towards changeable things Now he who worketh all our works for us and in us Isa. 26. 12. worketh them also by us and therefore that which he will give he perswades us to have that at once his bounty and our duty may receive a manifestation in the same thing Of this nature is Perseverance in the faith of Christ which as by him it is promised and therefore is a Grace so to us it is prescribed and thereby is a Duty Petamus ut det quod ut habeamus jubet August Let us ask him to bestow what he requires us to enjoy Yea Da Domine quod jubes jube quod vis Give what thou commandest and command what thou pleasest As a Duty it is by the Apostle here considered and therefore pressed on them who by Nature were capeable and by Grace enabled for the performance thereof Patheticall exhortations then unto perseverance in the profession of the Gospel bottomed on prevalent Scripturall Arguments and holy Reasonings are the summe of this Epistle The Arguments the Apostle handleth unto the End proposed are of two sorts 1. Principall 2. Deductive or Emergencies from the first 1. His principall Arguments are drawn from two chief Fountains 1. The Author And 2.
