these Capernaites did for the loaves Take heed it be not so with us If we come unto Christ see that we come with upright and sincere hearts out of an earnest desire of having Union and Communion with him So coming unto him now take this as an evidence of Gods gracious Donation that we are by him given to his Son as also of Christs gracious reception So coming unto him we shall not be rejected of him So it followeth in the last branch of the Text And him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out There have we the third and last Proposition or Doctrine Those who come unto Christ he will in no wise cast out {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} or {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Non ejiciam for as To open the Phrase To Cast out properly it imports an Ejection or Expulsion a casting out of some place or company Thus we read how the Iewes cast Stephen ont of the City {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Act. 7. 58. And our Saviour out of the Synagogue John 9. 34 35. They cast him out saith the Text {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} viz. out of the Synagogue as the 22. verse explaines it And in such a sense do some here understand it I will in no wise cast out That is say some out of my Kingdom of Glory So Augustine here looketh upon it Hither it is that all those who are given to Christ all Gods Elect shall come they shall come unto him in his Chamber of presence his magnu● penetrale as he calls it that is his Marriage-chamber and being once entred there he shall never eject never cast them out again But this Maldonate excepts against as not being so proper to this Text where Christs promise is unto those who come to him by faith Now there is no room for no use of faith in heaven where all shall live by sight We walk by faith and not by sight saith the Apostle 2 Cor. 5. 7. intimating faith to be proper for earth and sight for heaven where faith and hope shall be swallowed up of vision and fruition And therefore let we that go though in it self a truth And not unlike is that Interpretation of Cyril who understands this of the last Iudgment at which time all wicked and ungodly ones all unbelievers shall be cast out So our Saviour tells the unbelieving Iewes Math. 8. 12. The children of the Kingdom meaning them who looked upon themselves as such being the only people then under a visible Covenant shall be cast out into outer darknesse And so shall it be with all other ungodly persons Then shall Christ say to the Goats on his left hand Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Mat. 25. 41. But so shall it not be with his Elect his Sheep whom he shall then set upon his right hand speaking to them in another language Come ye blessed of my Fathtr inherit the Kingdom prepared for you c. v. 34. Then shall not they be cast out but admitted and received into those everlasting mansions Which is also there set forth in the same Chapter under the Parable of the wise and foolish Virgins the one of which are said to be kept out the other received into the Mariagechamber v. 11 12. fitly representing the different entertainment of believers unbelievers at the day of the general Judgment A truth also but liable to the same exception with the former which also the aforesaid Author puts in The coming which our Saviour here speaketh of is by faith B●t so shall not men come unto him at that day The souls of Gods Saints being once entred into their glory living by sight which they do being separated from their bodies they shall henceforth have no more use of faith Now abideth faith saith the Apostle 1 Cor. 13. 13. viz. whilest we live here not so after death not so at the last Iudgment when men shall see and feel what now they do or will not believe So then what our Saviour here saith of his not casting forth those that come to him must be understood of this life Those who here come unto him by faith believing on him he will in no wise cast out Quest But yet the Question runs on How not cast them out here Ans. To this Grotius returnes an Answer that they being thus come unto Christ he will not for his part cast them out of his Kingdom of grace being entred as Schollars into his School from whence he conceives this Expression to be borrowed he will not expell them Thus saith he do froward School-masters sometimes deal by their Schollars expell them without any just desert But so will not Christ deal by his Schollars those that come to him being once his they shall ever be so for all him continuing and abiding with him if they will But this savouring rankly of the Arminians founding mans perseverance in Grace upon the liberty of his own will I reject it as unsound More solidly to hold you no longer in suspense by Casting out here understand we rather a Rejection than an Ejection a Repelling than an Expelling Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out Non repudiabo non repellam I will not refuse and reject him but will receive and embrace him bidding and making him welcome So may we most fitly look upon the phrase here as having a {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} a {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} in it intending more than it speaks importing a gracious reception with a loving and lasting entertainment Thus will the Lord Iesus Christ receive all those that come unto him by faith he will own them and entertain them as his and that for ever Two things conceived to be comprehended under this Expression 1. He will receive them entertain them Him that cometh unto me I will not cast out Even as a publick Host saith Maldonate should say the like terms If any man come to me I will not cast him out his meaning would be apprehended to be not I will not cast him out of my house having once received him in whereof no man would make any doubt but that he will not refuse any such guests but would readily receive them into his house bidding them welcome giving entertainment to them making provisions for them And in such a sense understand we our Saviour here where he maketh the like Proclamation Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out That is I will not refuse nor reject him but will readily receive him into my house my Church where I will receive and make him welcome giving entertainment to him providing for him whatever shall be requisite in order to his salvation applying to him the merit of my

THREE LINKS OF A GOLDEN CHAIN OR Three of the Principal Causes of Mans Salvation Viz. God giving his Elect unto Christ their Coming unto him his Receiving of them Doctrinally Opened AND Practically Applied As it was lately delivered unto the Church of God at Great Yarmouth By JOHN BRINSLEY Minister of the Gospel there Luk. 14. 17. Come for all things are now ready London Printed by S. Griffin for Richard Tomlins and are to be sold at the Sign of the Bible in Pye-Corner 1659. To all that call upon the name of Iesus Christ in the Town of Great Yarmouth Dearly beloved of the Lord THis Text being by an unknown hand put into mine with an earnest request that I would in publick handle the latter part of it I not knowing what providence there might be in this Motion nor yet where to pitch upon a moro useful Subject undertook the whole Verse which having passed through in the audience of some of you I do now present to the view of you all Whereunto I have been induced as for the furtherance of your faith by pressing and directing that greatest of Christian duties your coming unto Jesus Christ so for the confirming and establishing of you in the truth against some of those Errors of the Times which having unhappily prevailed in some other places begin also to creep in amongst you I mean those of the Universalists and Free-willers as they are vulgarly called Against these as I have heretofore and that through Grace not without some successe done against some other I have here having a just occasion for it from the Text born witnesse And to this I shall desire you to hearken that so you may not be carried away with this wind of Doctrine So I presume to call that Doctrine which is so much cried up this day by some and those not a few who understand it not the Doctrine of Universal Redemption A Doctrine at the first hearing very plausible to vulgar apprehensions none more whilest it pretendeth to elevate to lift up and magnifie the Grace of God and Merit of Christ by such a boundlesse enlarging of them But upon stricter examen it will be found guilty of what it is here charged with of Elevating this Grace and this Merit in another sense derogating from them and extenuating of them Vpon which besides many other just grounds let me perswade you to be wary how you hearken to it or give entertainment to those that bring it Is it not enough for you or any other what is here positively and clearly held forth in this Text that Whosoever they are that come unto Jesus Christ receiving him as their Saviour and Lord they shall be received by him obtaining from him that great benefit of his death This do ye build your souls upon putting them upon this way and then my soul for yours they shall not miscarry In the mean time as for any other latitude or extent of the Fathers or Sons Intentions whether and if so in what way reaching to all or confined only to a select company leave it as safely you may to the more acute disquisition of the Schools to which there is indulged a liberty of disputing what being not so easie for vulgar heads to apprehend is not so safe for them to determine Blessed be God you have so much of Christ and of Gods gracious purpose towards all repenting and believing sinners in and through him clearly and convincingly held forth unto you as that you shall not need to trouble your heads about any such dubious intricacies as are by some who it may be would seem to be somebody presented to you and with some colour of zeal obtruded upon you under the notion of important truths Let it be my desire and earnest request to you that you would make much of old truths those Doctrines which you have received not lightly and readily receding from any of them not without clear and s●rong convictions And among other not from those concerning Election and Redemption which have been so fully vindicated as in former Ages so in this last by divers eminent both for learning and true pietie as ●hat it may well be wondered at that the Bucklers should still be held up against them This that you may do among other is one end of my putting this small Treatise into your hands Which commending to the blessing of him who gave it to me I rest Your servant in the Lord JOHN BRINSLEY Great Yarmouth Iune 1. An. Dom. 1657. Three Links OF A GOLDEN CHAIN JOHN 6. 37. All that the Father giveth me shall come unto me and him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out THE words are part of a Sermon Preached by our blessed Saviour to some of the Iewes in the Synagogue the publick meeting-place for religious worship in Capernaum So much we may learn from the 59th verse of the Chapter These things said he in the Synagogue as he taught in Capernaum In this Sermon he dealeth with these his Auditors as by way of Information and Instruction shewing them who and what himself was and what their duty was in reference to him viz. to believe on him so also by way of Objurgation and Reprehension taxing and reproving them many of them for not doing what was their duty not believing not acknowledging him to be what he was notwithstanding that they had seen him and his works been eye-witnesses of the admirable effects of his divine power as in that miracle which a little before he had wrought the multiplying of loaves and fishes so in many other This he chargeth upon them in the verse next before the Text v. 36. But I said unto you that ye also have seen me and believe not But how came this to pass that they should be so blind so stupid as seeing what they did yet not to acknowledge him to be what he was not to believe on him For this we have a Reason subjoyned in the words which I have now pitched upon Thus it was with them in as much as they were not in the number of those that were given to him by his Father Which if they had been there would have been other terms betwixt him and them than then there were They would have come unto him after another manner than now they did non tantùm pedibus sed affectibus not only with the feet of their Bodies but also of their Soules receiving and embracing him which if they had done he would have been as ready to do the like to them All that my Father giveth me shall come unto me and him that cometh unto me I wil in no wise cast out So Expositors generally almost universally as the Jesuite Maldonate though against his will taketh notice of it conceive of the coherence and dependance of these words with and upon the former Going along with them take we notice in them of three particulars three things
