things with patience as light and easie Heb. 12.2 3 if we call to minde what hard words harder stripes and most hard pains and afflictions he suffered for us whose head was crowned with thorns his eyes blind-folded his ears filled with reproaches his mouth with gall and vineger his face polluted with spitting his cheeks bruised with buffeting his knees shaking his shoulders laden with the Cross his heart replenished with sorrow his body torn with whips his members racked his hands and feet bored to be briefe from the crown of the head to the soals of the foot he sustained an innumerable sort of wounds and sorrows Wherefore as the waters of Mara being sometimes bitter were made sweet by Moses Exod. 15.25 at what time he cast wood into them even so all our tribulation if we patiently indure the Crosse of Christ will waxe sweet and the gall thereof will turn into honey For by the meditations of these afflictions of our Saviour faith is illuminated hope strengthned charity inflamed and all vertue increased Wherefore holy Augustine a light of the Church no lesse truly then godly provoking us by very forceable words thereunto saith thus Behold the wounds of him that hangeth August in lib. de virginitate the blood of him that dyeth the price of the redeemer the scars of him that riseth His head boweth to kisse thee his heart is opened to love thee his armes stretched abroad to imbrace thee his whole body set forth to redeem thee Consider what and how great these things be weigh them in the ballance of your hearts that hee may bee wholy fastened in your hearts who for us was wholly fastened on the Crosse Thus far Augustine So that it is not enough to meditate of these things once but it is profitable to thinke upon them often yea the oftner the more they avail and profit In the wholesome contemplation of whose Passion although we profit much yet we shall never attain to the perfect knowledge thereof but there will remain still somewhat that we may seek for the full knowledge whereof is reserved to our heavenly Country In the mean time let us contemplate in these things day and night in these things let us recreate and busie our selves In these let us watch in these let us sleep yea to dye in the meditation of these things is most Christian and available to everlasting salvation Places of holy Scripture to the praise of Jerusalem Psal 48.2 Beautiful for scituation the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion in the sides of the North it is the City of the great King Lam. 11.15 Is this the City of perfect beauty the joy of the whole earth Ezech. 5.5 This is Jerusalem I have set it in the midst of the Nations and Countries that are round about her 2 Cor. 7.12 I have chosen this place for my selfe to be a house of sacrifice Isa 2.3 Mich. 4.2 The Law shall go forth of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem Apoc. 21.9 I saw the holy City New Jerusalem come down from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband To these agreeth Tobit 13. v. 9 10.18 O Jerusalem the holy City many Nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands even gifts to the King of heaven all Generations shall praise thee and give signs of joy Cursed are all they which hate thee but blessed are they for ever which love thee Rejoyce and be glad for the children of the just for they shall be gathered and shall blesse the Lord for the just Blessed are they which love thee for they shall rejoyce in thy peace Blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges for they shall rejoyce for thee when they shall see all thy glory and shall rejoyce for ever Let my soul blesse God the great King for Jerusalem shall be built up with Saphires and Emeraulds and thy walls with precious stones and thy Towers and thy Bulwarks with pure gold And the streets of Jerusalem shall bee paved with Beril and Carbuncle and stones of Ophir And all her streets shall say Hallelujah and they shall praise him saying Blessed be God which hath extolled it for ever SEVEN GENERAL RULES For Expounding Scriptures that speak of Christs coming and Kingdom and Judging and of destroying Babylon and of the calling of the Jews and Israel I. AS the Truth of God is fulfilled both by the outward work by which he appears in the World and by the secret Mystery by which he reveals himself in and to the Spirits of his Saints which two answer one another So in the Testimony of the Scripture there is frequently not onely the History in the Letter but a Spiritual Mystery in the sense thereof as is clear in that of Hagar and Sarah Gal. 4. And of the Rock and Manna and of Melchisedech c. 1 Cor. 10.3 4. Heb. 7.1 2. II. In all Scriptural Interpretations the Analogy of Faith is to be respected Rom. 12.5 That is Undeniable principles of Truth clearly held out in other Scriptures which have a special proportion to the place which is to be interpreted according to which the sense thereof must needs be III. And hence as Christs coming and judging imply sometimes some special manifestation of him and sometimes his personal coming at his Incarnation or that second coming that shall be at the restoring of all things Heb. 9.28 Acts 3.19 20 21. with Rom. 11.26 and Isa 59.29 So some of such Prophecies are appliable to both his comings and to several times of his manifestation Mal. 3.1 2 6. Matth. 16.20 with Mark 9.1 2. Joh. 6.18 Zach. 14.1 4. Psal 97.98 last verses IV. As there is Babylon and Egypt Mystical as well as Literal Revel 17.4 11.8 So some Prophesies as Psal 137. Jer. 50. 51. seem appliable to the sin and ruine of both those Babylons V. As there are Jews and Israel seed of Abraham as well spiritual as natural Rom. 2.3 last verses Gal. 6.17 Rom 9.6 So some Prophesies of Israels sins punishments and merciful restorings are applyable to both Zion and Jerusalem Gal. 4. ult Isa 54. with Isa 51.52 53 chapters VI. As both of Natural and Spiritual Israel there was a First-fruits to God in the Apostles days and there is a Harvest that is to come Rom. 11.16 Jam. 1.18 Revel 14.4 So some Prophesies of glorious Blessings are applyable to both times and are fulfilled already to the First-fruits in a less degree that are to be fulfilled at the Harvest plenteously and very gloriously Rom. 15.4 2 Tim. 3.16 2 Cor. 5.17 18. from Isa 43.18 19. with Revel 21.1 5. Jer. 31.31 with Heb. 8.8 and 1 Cor. 11.25 and Rom. 11.12 15 26 27. Luke 1.31 32. Hos 3.4 5. Ezek. 37.24 28.
