Rom. 8. 28. And we know We assuredly certainly and experimentally know Either from the Word of God or the History of the Saints or from a filial Confidence so Paraeus But what follows That all things shal work together for good Things prosperons and adverse Tam prospera Quam adversa so Estius All things Not only this thing or that thing and the other thing but also ALL things These things shal co-operate for Good But to whom To them that love God From the whole HEART so Tirinus To them that are the called according to his purpose As they are the called according to his Purpose so it is his Purpose which is not a successless Purpose that there should be a Concurrence and Co-operation of all things for their good Is not this now one of the Depths of God CONCURRENCE is another Depth of God That Saints may make a Comfort of a Rod As wel as make a Comfort of a Staffe And dying in the Face of DEATH may laugh Thus may a Rod under a dismal Shade As wel as Staff be then a Comfort made If CHRIST be mine in Covenant then I Shal find all things concurring really For saving GOOD though seemingly for Evil And so Defeat is given to the Devil Though Joseph Goaled be a Jedidiah And in the DUNG'ON be a Jeremiah Though Daniel too be in the Lyons Den And in the Furnace be the three Children Though ISRAEL no Prospect hath of Life No more than Job had Comfort from his Wife Yet all things did concur for all their Good And They the Depths of SHADDAI understood Lord Jesus Christ mine Eyes are up to THEE Oh let all thins in a Concurrence be For Good and not for Evil unto ME That I also the Depths of God may see FAITH Faith that 's one of the Depths of God If Mary once a Virgin but not always so was more blessed in receiving the FAITH than in conceiving the FLESH of Christ certainly then Faith is one of the Depths of God If an affectionate closing with and acting of any known Sin be utterly incompatible and inconsistent with a living Faith certainly then this is one of the Depths of God If Faith comes with an empty hand and takes in all from the Plenitude of Christ certainly then this is one of the Depths of God If Faith be the first work the great work Yea THE WORK by way of Emphasis Eminency Excellency If Faith be the greatest and most glorious work the Work of Works certainly then this is one of the Depths of God Thus John 6.29 This is the work of God that ye beleive in him whom he hath sent This is the work of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This is the Command and Will of God 1 Jo. 3.23 This is the work which God esteemeth above all Works This is the Work and Gift of God Eph. 2.8 This is saith Beza the work that pleaseth God 'T is true Quod DEO placet for saith the Apostle Heb. 11.6 without faith 't is impossible to please God Is not FAITH now one of the Depths of God If Faith may be shaken in the Soul but not out of the Soul if Faith goes not into Vision til Time goeth into Eternity if Beleif lives til the Beleiver dies certainly then this is one of the Depths of God This should be the DIALECT of a Christian Vox Christiani under the greatest Despondency of Spirit Lord thorough grace I beleive yet Lord thorough Grace I do beleive Yet Lord thorough Grace I would beleive Yet Lord thorough Grace I wil beleive help Lord thorough Grace my Vnbeleif The Father of that Child who had a dumb Spirit hath set us this Copy to write after Thus Mark. 9.24 Lord I beleive help thou mine unbeleif Supply with Grace in thy Self the Defect of this Grace in my Soul Faith and Vnbeleif may be in the same Soul at the same Time in the same Action and upon the same Subject Hath not Faith a Chymical-Art Wil not Chymists extract Gold out of Silver or Stones Wil not the Act of Faith thorough the Object of Faith draw help out of things cross and contrary Is not FAITH an Herculean-Task and the hardest work in the World Hic Labor hoc Opus May Spira though dead speak You call upon me to beleive but I cannot beleive Oh how fain would I beleive but cannot 'T is easier to keep the moral Law than to beleive for 't is natural to work for Life but 't is supernatural to beleive for Life Is not Faith now one of the Depths of God To beleive things incredible to hope things improbable and to do things impossible any other way to be done they were Luthers WONDERS and are Mine and may be Thine To beleive that another wil pay my Debts and bear my Charges that He wil be buffeted that I may be blessed that He wil be hated that I may be loved that He wil be crucified that I may be crowned that He wil be sacrificed that I may be saved is not this one of the Depths of God Did Vlpian complain that there were few true Philsophers We may complain there are few true Beleivers Is not Faith then one of the Depths of God If FAITH be a Gift of God effected by the Spirit of God whereby there is a Reception of Christ and a Recumbancy upon Christ only for Salvation certainly then this is one of the Depths of God If Faith be the first Hand to receive a Mercy and the first Eye to discover a Judgment is it not then one of the Depths of God If this be the true Logick of FAITH to draw Conclusions of Peace in War of a Feast in Famine of Safety in Danger of Light in Darkness of Life in Death certainly then this is one of the Depths of God If Salvation and all in a Tendency unto Salvation be intailed upon Faith in the Person of Christ certainly then this is one of the Depths of God Thus Acts 16.31 Beleive on the Lord Jesus Christ Ther 's the Precept The Object of Faith is the Person of Christ in his Triple OFFICE Prophetical Sacerdotal and Regal Lord Jesus Christ We may beleive the Church but we must not beleive in the Church 'T is Christ and not the Church that must be beleived on and beleived in for the Church is not God but the House of God And thou shalt be saved Ther 's the Promise Is not Faith now one of the DEPTHS of GOD It is as easy for the Children of Belial and of Blood to pluck the Sun out of the Firmament as true Faith out of a true Christian Is not this then one of the Depths of God Tertullian saith of the Papists They beleive without the Scriptures Credunt sine Scripturis ut credant contra Scripturas that they may beleive against the Scriptures The Jewel of Faith can never be kept in a cracked Cabinet in a crasie Conscience Is
blood live When thou wast saith Caryl wrapped in and defiled with thine own blood Sin and Misery then I had pity on thee and spake Life to thee Every Soul tumbleth in Blood till sprinkled with Blood The Blood of Man is Filthiness the Blood of God-Man is Holiness GRACE comes not by Generation but Donation Did ever any finite Intellect perfectly travel the Heights and Depths the Lengths and Breadths of Free-Grace For Free-Grace to out-bid and out-vie not only the Deserts but also the Desires of Man is not this one of the Depths of God Thus Eph. 3.20 Now unto him that is able to do superabundantly so the Greek above what we are able to ask or think c. What Pensil can draw to the life the vanishing Features of a Soul beautified with GRACE The whole Fabrick of Salvation from the Cell in Nature to the Chair in Glory is founded in Free-Grace The whole Alphabet of Salvation from the Alpha to the Omega thereof is purely legible in Free-Grace Thus Eph. 2.5 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 By grace ye are saved This is so blessed a Parenthesis that without this Parenthesis there had been no Blessedness This is a weighty and a worthy Text here is the Mercy that 's Salvation and here is the Medium that 's Grace by grace ye are saved This is a Text of worth and of weight here is the Motive that 's Grace and here is the Mercy that 's Salvation by grace ye are saved Salvation is a choice CHAIN but every Link of this Chain is made up of Free-Grace I may assert it with the greatest Confidence and with the greatest Innocence that Free-Grace is the Wheel Primum Mobile which sets all a going in Heaven and in the Heart For God to love before loved yea for God to love when and while hated is not this one of the Depths of God For the Mercy of God to be over all his Works yea and over all his Workers too is not this one of the Depths of God For that GOD who is incapable of Addition or to be greater incapable of Substraction or to be lesser to Write rather in Honey than in Gall and to draw lines of Love than of Wrath is not this one of the Depths of God For the Grace of God to be greater than the Sin of Man and for the Ephah of God to be fuller of Mercy than the Ephah of Man can be of Iniquity is not this one of the Depths of God Thus Rom. 5.20 But where Sin abounded Grace did much more abound FREE-GRACE doth lead the Van that 's freely-free No Native but a Donative to Thee This is the Wheel that set's a going all In Heaven in the Heart and fince the Fall Hath ever done So let it be for Ever Thus do I pray and would retract it Never By Grace ye saved are Now is not this To sordid Man a sweet PARENTHESIS Are Judgments Deep what are Gods Mercies then They well-come are unto the Sons of Men. Salvation's Sions Chain but every Link Of Free-Grace is made up I more then think The two POLES distant are yet these will meet When Free-Grace and Free-Will each other greet In saving Man a Captive to the Devil And freeing also from a double Evil. The PENSIL draws the Features of the Face Oh God of Gods my Glass doth run apace While therefore I am running of my Race Oh Deck this Soul of mine with saving Grace ELECTION Election that 's one of the Depths of God The Romanists speak of an universal Election but the very name of Election carries in it a Confutation For none can be said to be elected if all be elected he that electeth cannot be said to take all Neither can it be said that Election is nothing else but Dilection for Dilection was antecedaneous and praevious unto Election Election is an absolute Act of Grace and is it not then one of the Depths of God Thus Rom. 11.5 6. There is a remnant according to the election of grace A remnant comparatively is very little to the whole piece There are very few among very many that are elected and 't is the election of GRACE Election is made up of Grace made out of Grace It is such an Election as Grace makes an Election of Graces making And if by Grace then is it no more of Works otherwise grace is no more grace But if it be of Works then is it no more grace otherwise work is no more work The two sorts of righteousness by the Covenant of Works and by the Covenant of Grace are altogether incompatible Whatsoever is given for the MERIT of Works is not freely given and consequently is not Grace For as Aug. speaks elegantly against the Pelagians Grace Gratia non est Gratia ullo modo nisi sit gratuita omni modo is not said to be Grace in any sense or any way if it be not free every way It loseth the nature of a work if done to merit by for if elected partly for Works and partly by Grace then the merit of Works is no Merit For if Merit first enters it excludes Grace and if Grace first enters it excludes Merit Now if Election hath for its efficient cause the Purpose of God for its formal cause the Mercy of God for its material cause the Blood of Jesus for its final cause the Glory of God and the Salvation of Man is it not then one of the Depths of God The ARMINIANS say Non eligit dignum sed eligendo efficit dign●m that Election is posterior to Faith to Works to Perseverance but these are posterior unto Election God elects not the worthy but having elected them makes them worthy They also are under a notorious deception and prodigious Delusion who say Election is Christ the Seed not the Persons of Men and Women Christ is if I may so write Gods first Elect. Thus Isa 42.1 Behold my Servant whom I uphold mine elect in whom my soul delighteth Christ was chosen by God to be SAVIOUR Man was chosen in Christ to be saved There are those who are called the elect of God Thus Col. 3.12 Put on therefore as the elect of God Bowels of Mercies c. Now the elect of God are elected in Christ Thus Eph. 1.4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the World that we should be Holy and walk without blame before him in Love Here is the elector this is God He. As he hath chosen The elected Us. Here is the person in whom these are elected this is Christ In him And here is the end of this Election That they might be holy c. They were not elected because they were holy or because they would be holy PAUL Electum Vas. was an elect Vessel Now God elected Paul as Paul not as a Believer or a holy person Election is absolutely free there was no Praevision of any Qualification in Man as a Motive to God
So She is the Fabrick Heb. 1.6 Natural There is a natural Oneness The Vine and the Branches are naturally One Thus John 15.4 The branch cannot bear fruit of it self except it abide in the vine This is an Hieroglyphick of the UNION that is between Christ and Christians As He is the Vine so They are the Branches John 15.5 Moral There is a moral Oneness The Husband and the Wife are morally One Thus Mat. 19.5 6. For this cause shal a man leave Father and Mother and cleave unto his Wife The word here CLEAVE in the Greek importeth to be glued unto 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And shal be glued unto his Wife Hereby is intimated the straight knot which is between Man and Wife as if they were glued together like two Boards joyned together with Glue which are as firm and close as if they were but one Peice Unto his Wife not WIVES This gives Check to Folygamy And they twain Not more Shal be one flesh That God who in the Creation made Two of One did by Marriage make One of Two This also shadows out the UNION between Christ and the Church As He is the Husband Isa 54.5 So She is the Wife Rev. 21.9 Is not Vnion now one of the Depths of God PHYSICAL There is a physical Oneness There is an Oneness between the Head and the Body which is literal physical or natural The Head and the Body are One and make one Man Thus 1 Cor. 12.21 The eye cannot say to the hand I have no need of thee nor the head to the feet I have no need of you This is truth in the very Letter and we are not to understand here by Head and Foot as the Papists do the POPE and the CHURCH Pap●m Ecclesiam But by Head understand a Cedar in Lebanon and by the Foot understand a Shrub in the Valley As the little Finger in the material Body is of Vse to that Body so the lowest the least the last Member in the mystical Body is useful to that Body Doth this not also shadow out the UNION which is between Christ and the Church For as He is the Head so She is the Body Eph. 1.22 23. Thus as the aptest Similitudes Foundation and Fabick Vine and Branches Head and Body so the nearest and dearest Relations as Master and Servant Father and Son Husband and Wife are improved by the Spirit as Emblems to shadow out the noble UNION and Conjunction that is between Christ and those that are actually His Is not this then one of the Depths of God METAPHYSICAL There is a metaphysical Oneness There is an Oneness that is spiritual metaphysical or supernatural This is two fold An Oneness between Christians an Oneness also between Christ and Christians Ther 's an UNION between Christians 'T is pity that Sin should make Two whom Grace hath made One that Satan should make Two whom God hath made One that Antichrist should make Two whom Christ hath made One. Eadem velle et nolle est firma Amicitia Freinds acted by the same Principles wil and nil the same things Though we must not unite with any in their Iniquity yet we must unite with all that are Christians in their Christianity DIVISION is an ill Companion unto Glory Perpetuity and Safety Did not Dissention in two Brothers make a Gapp to the Turks Did not Dissention of Christians lose Constantinople In the material and natural Body ther 's a constant Amity and Vnity because one Spirit runs thorough all Thus should it be in the Metaphorical and Mystical For 1 Cor. 12.13 By one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body whether we be Jews or Greeks bond or free c. I am of this Opinion and I care not who knows it that SAINTSHIP must not be confined within one Party The new Creature is found in Circumcision and in Vncircumcision Yea as eminent in the one as in the other Were it not the highest Sacriledge in the World to make a Monopoly of Christianity Let none for the future monopolize that Title of Saints and godly Party to any one Party The Devil is pictured with a cloven FOOT signifying that 't is his Work to cause Divide Impera and continue Divisions in the World Is not this also his Sophistry Divide and rage divide and rule divide and reign divide and ruine Is not Vnion now one of the Depths of God Is not Division an unholy and unhappy Weed which prodigiously groweth at this Juncture of Time and under this Conjuncture of Affairs 'T is too connatural unto the best of Men who are but Men at best rather to take notice of that which wil divide than of that which wil unite Vis unita fortior though united FORCE be the most forcible and though Saints in more agree than wherein they can disagree and be SAINTS for they agree in Fundamentals and only differ in Circumstantials They differ in Paul Apollo and Cephas but agree in Christ Is not Vnion then among Christians one of the Depths of God Thus Gal. 3.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek there is neither bond nor free there is neither Male nor Female for ye are all one in Christ Jesus In this pure and pretious Text and Truth there is an Assertion and an Argument An ASSERTION There is neither Jew nor Greek Is not this written to check the Pride of the Jews and to cherish the Heart of the Gentiles There is neither Bond nor Free Is not this written to take away the carnal Difference between Professors There is neither Male nor Female Is not this also written to take away the base Difference between the two Sexes made by the Turkish-Mahomet when he saith that the Woman which is the weaker Vessel hath no Soul to save An ARGUMENT For ye are all one in Christ Jesus Here is an Argument to prevent Distinction upon the Account of Vnion No Nation whether Jew or Gentile No Relation whether Master or Servant No Sex whether Man or Woman makes a Difference for ye are all one in Christ Jesus It matters not whether ye be Jews or Gentiles whether ye be Masters or Servants whether ye be Husbands or Wives if ye be in Christ for ye are all one in Christ Jesus Is not Vnion now one of the Depths of God There 's an UNION between Christ and Christians That there is an Oneness between Christ and the Church between Christ and the Christian what is more legible and yet what is less intelligible what is more asserted and yet what is less understood Thus 1 Cor. 6.17 But he that is joyned unto the Lord is one Spirit He that is joyned He that is glued 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 There is not a word saith Leigh in all the Greek language that signifieth a neerer Conjunction than this word To the Lord To Christ so Estius Who is the Husband of the CHURCH so Piscator Is one Spirit Not essentially 〈◊〉
is freed from sin Rom. 6.7 Is not a state of Glory then which is contagionless as to Body and Soul one of the Depths of God TEMPTATIONLESS A State of Glory is a temptationless State is it not then one of the Depths of God Our whole life saith Luther is but a Temptation I am saith He set upon without by all the World and within by the Devil and all his Angels It was thus on Earth but 't is not thus in Heaven Is not a state of GLORY then which is a temptationless State one of the Depths of God If there be no Place in the World that can secure from Temptation and be a Sanctuary from Satanical-Suggestion certainly then a state of Glory which is a temptationless State is one of the Depths of God That there is such a thing as TEMPTATION is so legible as if it were written with a Beam of the Sun Thus Heb. 11.37 They were tempted Beza 'T is much saith One that this should come in after the Recital of such Capital punishments and therefore would rather have it read were burned But the word TEMPTED may wel be retained For seeing they could do no good with Violence they made them great Profers and Promises trying if they could prevail that way as appears in the Martyroligy They were tempted But who were These They were WORTHIES Thus v. 38. Of whom the world was not worthy That is Mankind Genus humanum or wicked men who persecuted the good so Estius The World was not worthy of their Presence and yet these were tempted But wonder not for one infinitely more worthy than these Worthies was also tempted Suspend thy Judgment as to those under Temptation for Christ himself was tempted in the highest Measure that could be Mat. 4.1 11. Satan may tempt unto Sin but he cannot tempt into Sin His Sparks could never inflame us if he found no TINDER in our own Boxes Though Satan be the Father of Temptation yet the Heart is the Mother of Corruption The Enemy without were there not a Correspondency within could never hurt us Suggestion without were it not for Corruption within would be invalid and insignificant Is not Man his own Devil and doth he not often tempt HIMSELF But now a State of Glory is temptationless and corruptionless is it not then one of the Depths of God Satan as to his Temptation is confined to the Aerialpart therefore called Eph. 2.2 The Prince of the Power of the Air. Of the dark Air next us so Estius There he only reigneth not as a LORD but as a TYRANT Non ut Dominus sed ut Tyrannus so Erasmus There was a Tempter in the terrestial but there shal never be a Tempter in the caelestial Paradise Is not now a State of Glory which is a temptationless State one of the Depths of God TIMELESS A State of Glory is a timeless state is it not then one of the Depths of God The Cry of a damned Soul is I never minded Eternity But a State of Glory is a State of Eternity and is it not then one of the Depths of God Cuncta trahit secum vertitque volubile Tempus Tempus est Edax et Index Rerum Is not TIME the Shadow of Eternity Our Life may be compared to a Marriner in a Ship that hath all her Sails spread and these filled with Wind. The Child born in the Morning is old enough to die before Night Is not then a State of Glory which is a timeless State one of the Depths of God If the Quistion should be what is TIME Might not the Solution be 't is nothing else but a Meditation of ETERNITY Though Man be a Microcosm yet his Life is compared to a Span. Ps 39.5 To a Shadow Ps 144.4 To a Vapour Jam. 4.14 But now a state of Glory is a timeless State is it not then one of the Depths of God Thus 1 Pet 1.4 To an inheritance incorruptible It perisheth not as the Riches of the World 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ambrose and Erasmus render it immortal And undefiled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The name of a STONE which being cast into the Fire is not consumed nor corrupted but is taken out more splendid so Isidore And fadeth not away This is the name of a Flower 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which being hung up in a House fadeth not but remaineth fresh and green Reserved in heaven for you 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Or according to the Greek reserved in heavens for us Here is the Excellency and Certainty of the Inheritance so Estius The Stability and Perpetuity of the Inheritance so Gerhard 'T is reserved in the heavens in the hand of the God of Gods out of which Jo. 10.28 it can never be plucked The Inheritance here is a CROWN a Crown of Life a State of Glory a Life of Glory Here is also the Incorruptibility and Certainty the Stability and Eternity of this State Is it not then one of the Depths of God As GRACE did lead the Van so up the Rear Doth GLORY bring without a brinish Tear Did Luther here and Calvin live in Strife The Life of GLORY is the GRACE of Life The Presence of all Good is Heaven and The Absence of all Evil.
