A51258	A motive to have salt always in our selves, and peace one with another whereunto is annexed some considerations on Rev. 22, v. 14, to do His commandements.	Moore, Thomas, Junior.	1671 (1671)	Wing M2606; ESTC R3376	80,430	162

fire And this is that wrath of God and that judgement and those torments to be executed on such as in all his means used through the day of grace rebelled against him refusing his salting in his convincements and corrections and willingly walked after the lusts of the slesh which wrath and fire is everlasting and without ceasing tormenting for ever and ever And so cannot be quenched Heb. 9. 27. Revel 20. 15. and 21 8. And so first or last every one shall be salted with fire as to say 1. The spirit in the word and discovery of the grace in Christ convinceing and reproving of sin of want of righteousness and of evil designs in a man and his wayes as hath been shewn is a fire to burn up that filth and heats to the acknowledgement of Christ the Lord Ioh. 16. 8. 9 10. which is now received and yeilded to so as it may have its perfect work would burn up that and nothing but that which would destroy the man and heat with desires and fitness to receive the teachings of the spirit Pro. 1. 23 and 6. 23. But if refused and rejected till the day of Grace be past the same spirits convincements now rejected shall after seize on them so as they cannot avoyd it but it will kindle a fire that shall everlastingly burn on soul and body for ever and cannot be quenched Isa 45. 23. Phill. 2. 9. 10. 11. Isa 30. 33. 2 Thes 1. 7. 8. 9. 2. Corrections and punishments added where convincements and reproofs are not readily received to set them home to the heart and take down mans pride and break him off his enterprise and bow him to hearken and to submit to indu●e such shame loss and pain in the flesh as is to be endured in receiving such convincements Iob. 33. 14. 24. 29 36. Prov. 6. 23. Yea for Christs sake to forsake all a man hath to be his Disciple Luke 14. 33. In which they will be received and blessed and enriched with better life c. by Christ But if a man refuse his convincements and corrections and prize not the Grace of Christ so as to bear that layd on them and undergoe the loss of natural life and all the comforts of it as required by Christ and for his sake but then and in such cases seek to save his life c. he shall certainly lose it and undergoe that loss and pain here if ever brought to repentance or else hereafter to his eternal woe lose all favour with God and Christ and Saints and all enjoyment of the inheritance and eternal life and yet confess Christ the Lord and then endure the torments of everlasting fire And this oft affirmed Matt. 10. 31. 35. and 16. 25. 26. Mar. 8. 35. 38 and 9. So that this is a most certain truth that to bring men to acknowledge Jesus Christ to be the Lord to the glory of God and every one shall be brought to it and that in bringing to confess it rightly here there must be a self denyal and sorrow with shame and grief for sin and loss of some things desirable to the natural life in Honour Ease Riches Friendship and relations below and it may be in some cases natural life it self which if for Christs sake not accepted but refused and not undergone they shall lose and undergo all and lose a far better use Riches Friend and Relations and yet be brought to this confession to their shame and then suffer eternal torments Vse 1. For every one shall be salted with Fire which sheweth both the truth of our Saviours saying It s better to endure the pain of this salting here what ever losses be in it then hereafter vers 43. 45. 47. And the necessity of taking and obeying our Saviours counsel given seeing there is no escape but this salting with fire must be endured now or hereafter And this also shews 2. The vanity and deceivedness of those that think to follow Christ and yet when his name or service requires this self-denyal suffering and loss seek to save themselves in these things yet think to be saved by him also and so to serve God Mammon enjoy their desires in these things here and life with Christ hereafter and this also shews 3. To warm and admonish us when a price is put in our hand to get wisdome not to think it too costly what ever is to be parted with for it or undergone to enjoy it whatever reproofs to be received or whatever self denyals and shame or sufferings to be undergone part not with the p●ize that is in truth for it Oh let not lying Vanities withdraw us from receiving our own Mercies but let us turn at his reproofs forsake the Foolish abase and Judge our selves in this World and so believe in his Mercy that we may not be condemned with the World but receive this Salting with Fire here that we may not be Salted with Fire hereafter And this is the first Affirmation given by our Saviour here in this Case to move us whatever it be that causeth us to offend how dear to us soever to cut it off and suffer the loss of it now in this Life for every one shall be Salted with Fire the next is CHAP. III The Second Affirmation ANd every Sacrifice shall be salted with Salt he speaketh here in the Plural Number every Sacrifice And so as Christ himself in his own body was abased and made despicable and dispised and suffered much and so was Crucified and died for our sins and overcame death and rose again righteous in that very body And then through the eternal Spirit offered himself in that body a spotless Sacrifice to God so made Peace compleated Righteousness and obtained eternal Redemption and an Inheritance And the Sacrifice that one Sacrifice offered by him once for all and by which he is able to perfect all comers to God by him Heb. 10. 1. 14. and 9. 12. 14. 25. 28. and 7. 25. And so offers and presents them in himself before God blamless Col. 1. 22. And makes them enabling them to offer Spiritual Sacrifices acceptable to God by him Heb. 8. 5. 1. Pet. 2. 4. 5. and every Sacrifice here meant is of these many Sacrifices and so they are and it verily is both 1. Every unfeighned Beleiver that in belief of this Sacrifice of Christ is thereby brought unto him and so into Covenant to be the Lords to have their Life in him and live to him 2. And every Spiritual Sacrifice by such Beleivers offered to God by Christ or in the name of Christ 1. And every unfeighned Beleever that in belief of the Sacrifice once offered by Christ is thereby brought into him and so into Covenant to be the Lords to have their life in him and live to him In which respect they are said to have made a Covenant with God by Sacrifice Psal 50. 5. And so to be the Lords and have given themselves to the Lord

many Afflictions and Tribulations enter his Kingdome as he through sufferings entred his glory and the power of the life of Christ in the Testimony may be manifested in our mortal and dying Flesh Act 14. 22. Luk. 24. 26. 2 Tim. 3. 12. 2 Cor. 4. 10 11 16. And so when by the Testimony of Christ men are called and brought in to beleeve him then as God in Christ and so Christ by his Spirit chooseth and refineth such beleevers seperating them from the Union and Fellowship of the World and b●inging them into further Union and Fellowship with himself to receive more abundance of his G●ace to b●ing them to glory By the sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth framing them to be obedient to the blood of sprinkling 2 Thes 2. 13 14. 1 Pet. 1. 1 2. So also press home and to make effectual and prevelent this choosing work he salteth them with these reproofs and afflictions and ●●ery trials and so chooseth through the Furnace of afflictions Isa 48. 10 11. Gal. 6. 14. Psal 94. 12. And so as oft and as much as need is every Sacrifice even every Beleever shall be salted with Salt all which serveth to p●ess Beleevers to and recieve this salting what ever of the flesh it fret and consume and what ever seen or temporary again we lose thereby or trouble undergo Yea so in ind●●ing and feeling the smart it causeth that we may tremble in our selves that we may say that it is better now and after and find rest in the day of trouble Heb. 3. 16 17 18. which receiving ou● Saviours Councel here foregiven Suits well with that admonition given Luk. 14. 25 35. And as in the sence said every Beleever shall be salted with Salt so likewise in the other sence 2. every spiritual Sacrifi●e that Beleevers offer to God by Christ or in his name shall in their offerings be salted with Salt For ●ight understanding this the Testimony must be our guide and attend to it it will help us ●ightly to understand for in belief of the Testimony we are taught by it that 1. The Sacrifices here spoken of are spiritual Sacrifices though ou●wa●d and able and visible things be used in offering many of them yet the Sacrifices be spiritual Sacrifices such as are offered spiritually and by not bodily but spiritual Preists in which is neither Male nor Female as in Church offices and Officers here but all one in Christ Jesus And though Church chosen Officers may be also spiritual Preists and may also so offer yet these Sacrifices are spiritual Sacrifices and are offered by such ●s are and as they are spiritual Preists 1 Pet. 2. 4. 5 9. Gall. 3. 27. 28. Coll. 3. 10 11. 2. These Sacrifices are Sacrifices of Righteousness that are to be offered to God And so P●al 4. 5. Produced by the righteous Sacrifice that is the Sacrifice of compleat righteousness Iesus Christ in his own body offered to God this bele●ved is the Producer Psal 50. 5 14. And so it is offered to God by and through Christ in the belief of his Name who also pe●fumes and makes them acceptable 1 Pet. 2. 5. Heb. 13. 15. and 7. ●5 Revel 8. 3 4 And Soul so offered to God with righteousness and righteously in r●●dri●g to him the glory and praise due unto his Name Psal 29. 1 2. and 15. 14 23. 1 The● 5. 18. And affording to men ●nd b●e●h●en ●hat whi●h is due to them Isa 26. 8. and 16. 8. Mar. 11 24 25 So. 3. That these spiritual Sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Christ first they are many and so exprest also Psal 5● 17 1. A broken Spirit and contrite heart a heart from the sight and belief of the mind love and holiness of God demonstrated in and through Christ broken of its own wisdom well thoughts confidences and designs ab●sed and made loathsome in and to it self filled with grief and sorrow for its contraryness to God and sinning against so great holy and gtatious a God with indignation against ones self for such offences even trembling at his Word and falling low before them by it to be at his dispose and bear his chastisements longing for his mercy Psal 51. 17. Isa 57. 17. and 66. 2. Yea all Sacrifices are to be with such a heart which is a Sacrifice also 2. Hearty Pyayers to God for the good things he hath promised with Thanksgiving for his mercies benefits and good things received that he hath extended to us and those also promised Psal 62. 8. and 65. 2 4. and 50. 14 15 23. 1 Thes 5. 17. 18. 3. To do good that which is righteous and may be profitable and edifying to men and make for truth and peace And with this to communicate of what God makes us st●ongly of and furnisheth us with in shewing mercy and relieving the poor and needy specially them of the Houshold of Faith Heb. 13. 16. Gall. 6. 10. Phill. 4. 8. 2 Cor 9. 9 15. 4. In and with all the former to hold forth the word of life in word and conversation among a wicked generation and for edifying brethren with desire in all things to glorifie God and approve our hearts to him and be found honest and decent towards men Phil. 2. 15 16 17. 1 Pet. 2 9 12. Ephes 4. 29 32. Heb. 13. 16 18. Rom. 15. 16. 5. To aime at endeavour and strive in all this also to convince the unbeleevers that we may gain them in to believe and so to glorifie not us but God that so we may present them singly to Christ that he may present them to God Acts 14. 15. 2 Cor. 4 5. and 11. 2. Rom. 15. 16. 1 Pet. 2. 5 9 12. Num. 5. 20. 6. In and for doing all this by the mercies of God to present ou● bodies a living Sacrifice holy as the Lords and acceptable through Christ to be the Lords to be disposed ordered and so offered by him to do undergo and forgo what ever h●s Mercy and Grace requireth and leadeth to in services of him which is but our reasonable service facilating that more spiritual Rom. 12. 1 2 3. These and such like are the Sacrifices for Beleevers to offer to God by Christ and of these it is said every Sacrifice even every of these and every particular offering and every of these shall be salted with Salt This affirmed by our Saviour and it is needful and profitable for Beleevers who have sin yet remaining in their flesh with its thoughts and lusts and the World with its Documents Customes Allurements and Terrors and the Devil with his wises and suggestions all ass●i●●ing them to divert and corrupt them and turn them out of the way yea so as if they cannot hinder them from it yet they will defile them so as as there may 1. Be in our con●i●ion a mixture of worldly sorrow of some murmuring grudging and impatience for some loss deprivation and pain yet pretended sorrow for sin or
