     summary: To which I answer , that the Apostle doth not compare these together , I meane the enjoying of GOD and CHRIST , as though his chiefe happinesse did consist rather in beholding the body of CHRIST then the face of GOD , but his being with CHRIST , and that estate in glory is compared to his being in this present world , and he mentioneth CHRIST because he in his humane nature had purchased this great happinesse for him , which consisteth principally in the vision of divine excellency : our happinesse is chiefely in GOD , but by CHRIST his merit : do we not thinke that many poore exiles stripped out of their inheritance , and banished out of their native soile ; do desire to see that day , and that blessed man that should bring them out of their captivity , and settle them in their former habitations , and rejoyce in him as the author of their happinesse ? hence I note , A life in heaven with CHRIST , is farre better then a life on earth with men . I grant to desire death simply , as death , is against the Law of GOD and the law of nature , death is our enemie , and is not from GOD creationes by creation , though it be truly from him ultione to revenge the sins of man , saith Florus de praedest : or as others say , it is from him ordinatione , because in justice he ordained death corporall as one part of the punishment which was due for the sinne of man , and hence our Saviour CHRIST himselfe who knew no sin at all , viewing death as it is in it selfe considered , declined it , let this cup passe , and so did Saint Paul too , we will not ( saith he ) be uncloathed , the parting of these good friends body and soule without some further end , is a grievous separation ; this harmelesse innocent nature teacheth ; and as death is further a meanes to cut off all possibility to profit others , and to helpe the poore Church of CHRIST with our labours ●●…us piety and grace may move them to pray with David , LORD let my soule live .

     summary: Election is the first Fountain of Water springing up to eternal Life : For what could induce God when all Mankind was equally involved in Guilt and Misery , to choose some to be Vessels of Grace and of Glory , but his soveraign Pleasure and pure Grace ? The Elect were in the Eye and Heart of God from Eternity , appointed to supernatural Happiness , but that free and insuperable Decree is accomplished according to the Law of Faith , the unchangeable Order of the Gospel ; and that is , that Heaven shall be the Reward of the faithful Servants of Christ ; not for the true Desert of their Service , but the most gracious and rich Bounty of God. 3. The Service of Christ is more eminently performed in some special Offices ordained for the Glory of God and the publick Good.

     summary: It is not only to be so far good as to live without scandal in the world , nor to quiet the clamours of Conscience which may rise upon us after some more notorious sins ; but it imports somewhat beyond all these : That a man should dedicate himself to Religion , making it his business ▪ and as the bloud circulates over the whole body , in greater vessels thorough the nobler parts , and in smaller ones even thorough the remotest members ; so the true spirit of Christianity runs through a mans whole life , with a due proportion of care and application : Not putting his whole strength to lesser matters , and doing the greatest slightly and carelesly , but applying his greatest Industry to things of chief concernment , yet so as not to be too remiss in the smallest matters . If men therefore do so carefully manage their fortunes , that they set off large portions of their time either daily , weekly , or yearly , to examine their accounts : How can it be imagined that a thing of that importance , upon which all the hopes of our eternal state depends , should be so easily transacted ?

     summary: And tho the errors of this good man's conduct may in some things give advantages to bad men , who are always severe censurers ; yet his unspeakable comfort is , That he can make his secret Appeals to God , who knows the whole of his heart as well as the whole of his life ; and tho here and there , things may be found that look not quite so well , and that do indeed appear worst of all to himself , who reflects the oftenest , and thinks the most heinously of them ; yet by measuring Infinite Goodness with his own proportion of it , and by finding that he can very gently pass over many and great defects in one whose principles and designs seem to be all pure and good , he from that concludes , That those allowances must be yet infinitely greater , where the Goodness is infinite ; so being assured within himself , that his vitals , his inward principles , and the scheme and course of his life are good , he from thence raises an humble confidence in himself , which tho it does not , as indeed it ought not , free him from having still low thoughts of himself , yet it delivers him from all dispiriting fear and sorrow , and gives him a firm confidence in the love and goodness of God , out of which he will often feel an incredible source of satisfaction and joy , springing up in his mind . The capacity of our Powers , and the disposition of our Minds are in a great measure born with us : The circumstances and accidents of our lives depends so immediately upon Providence , that in all these respects , Knowledge comes , at least in the preparations to it , from God : There are also many happy openings of thought , which arise within the minds of the Searchers after it , to which they did not lead themselves by any previous inferences , or by the comparing of things together .

God hath cast it behind his back , why should we cast it in the teeth of Davids memory ; let us never mention it to his disgrace , but for our own direction ; Partly to teach us not to trust in our selves , lest we fall into sin ; partly to comfort us , that after sin committed , pardon is obtainable on our unfeigned repentance . Men opprobriously taint and term people by the obliquity of one irregular act , which with uncharitable tongues is enough to ecclipse yea extinguish the credit of all other graces in him ; but God doth Denominate and Epithite persons from the rectitude of the general habit of their lives ; yea by him such shall be reputed , accepted , received to serve our generation .

This sickness is not unto death ( i. e. it was not to terminate in a continuing death ) but for the Glory of God , that the Son of man might be Glorifi'd , the same account which this Evangelist gives of all these his great works , and why they were recorded , that we might believe that Jesus was the Christ , the Son of God. &c. chap.

O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death . Upon the whole , I cannot , indeed , conceive , that since Death is often taken , and that most reasonably , in so great a latitude , as to admit of comprehending this sense ; and since , in these latter verses , the Apostle is speaking of a final deliverance from it , as the special priviledge of such as are in union with Christ , not of what is common to all men , but that victory over death in this respect , as it imports aversion from God , or indisposition towards him , must be within his meaning , and that he was far from confining it to bodily death only , or from intending , in reference to the Soul , the meer natural immortality of that alone .

     summary: By blessing God , we are to understand , either what we express in Words concerning God , or what we think concerning him . Many worthy Men having written largely and excellently upon Subjects of a like Nature , I was unwilling to cast in my Mite among their larger Summs , and feared it would look like a piece of Conceited Folly to thrust my slender unpolish'd Discourse into the vast croud of substantial and elegant Treatises which have already appear'd upon the Publick Stage : But seeing you desire that what God hath Bless'd to your selves , may be Publish'd to others , I thought I might look upon your Request as a Call from God to that which was always contrary to my own Inclination , therefore I hope none will Censure me for Complying with it : God works sometimes by small means , for he is not tyed to any ; he hath sometimes rendered mean Discourses preach'd or penn'd more successful than those of a more excellent Composure .

     summary: To reflect how the Providence of God ( who takes care of the meanest of his Creatures , so that not a Sparrow falls to the ground without his advertency ) determines the frail lives of men : How strangely different and various are the means and works of his Justice in this particular ; we may use the Apostle's Exclamation , How unsearchable are his Jugdments , and his ways past finding out ? Indeed so short sighted are we in what may come , or happen , that we are non-pluss'd in our desires , and puzzled in our choice of things in this World. And may God's Grace , which maketh small things Instruments of great Good , improve what thou shalt meet with here to thy Spiritual Benefit , and then , with me , give God the Glory .

     summary: If this Covenant be not the Covenant of Grace , where shall we find it ; God's actual taking us into Covenant , 't is but that we might drink of this Fountain , or rather , that we might have actual Interest in this Covenant , and whatsoever Christ did in time ; or when the fulness of time was come , it was but to put into Execution this Covenant , and to ratifie and visibly confirm this blessed Covenant , that God had made with us in him , before the World began . 2. I would know whether in the Covenant of Grace God is said to enter into Covenant with Man , simply considered as in himself ; or whether 't is not with Christ , and so in him with us ; if Christ be the Surety of the Covenant of Grace , then God doth not take Christ distinct from us into Covenant with himself : and certainly , our credit was so lost and gone with God , that he would not trust us , with any Covenant-Transaction any more without a Surety , they continued not in my Covenant , and I regarded them not saith the Lord , Heb. 8.9 .

     summary: Yet when ye well consider the purport of the words I have now read to you , that Faith is the great instrument and advantage of a Christians life ; for the just shall live by his faith : and that Justification or forgiveness of sins is the main comfort , any Christian can have at his death ; inasmuch as he that believes , shall not die for ever , and though he die , yet shall he live ; and over and above , that the Gospel-state affords us Christians that help towards these ends , which the Jewish oeconomy could not do to them : ye must acknowledge with me , there cannot be a more effectual Exhortation for us that survive , then that of Faith ; nor a fuller Consolation over our deceased Friends , then that of being justified ; whereby at our departure hence we have a prospect of ensuing bliss in the other world , by being assured through faith in Christ , of pardon and acceptance , and of escaping the wrath to come . Thus have I given you a short Analysis , and Survey of the Apostles whole discourse , the sense and main design whereof lies in the Text , that Jesus Christ was the expected Messias , the Saviour of the world , by whom and by him alone Justification through Faith in him , and forgiveness of sins , which is the proper notion and importance of salvation , is to be obtained .

     summary: Though you cannot say God has chosen you , and that he is yours , yet you will chuse him : Do you by an Holy importunate Faith thus fasten your selves upon God , and say , Lord , if thou wilt not honour me , love me , bless me as thine , for I am resolved to be thine ; and if I perish , one must perish that desires to be thine . 5. My Son , despise not thou the Chastening of the Lord ; because it is from God.

     summary: If ye are Christs , death is yours ; but if you are not Christs , you are Deaths , you are deaths prisoners ; but in Christ we are deaths Masters . For what is death , but the curse of the great God upon rebellious man , the bitter fruit of sin , a period to all earthly comforts , and the beginning of an everlasting Hell ? Death destroys vital union , dissolves the knot of natural Relations , divorces the wife from her husband , pulls the child out of his fathers bosom ; it marrs the greatest beauties , stains the pride of earthly glory ; it degrades the Honourable , binds the strong , beggars ▪ the rich ; it casts us out of our houses and possessions , disappoints our earthly expectations ; In a word , it rends a man asunder , and sends part of him into the prison of the Grave ; and the other part into the dungeon of Hell.

But let us spend them upon better Objects , upon a better Inheritance , a more durable and lasting Estate than this World can afford us ; seeking to make him our Portion , who will be a living Comfort in a dying Hour , the ever Blessed and Glorious God ; spend more Strength and Time in his Service : Let us have our conversation in heaven , here , as the Apostle exhorts ; that we may obtain an Assurance our Habitation shall be there , when we go hence , as the Apostle tells us he had , saying — We know that if this earthly house of our tabernacle were dissolved , we have a building of God , an house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . Which Words are both an Illustration and Confirmation of the reason which our Apostle gives his Corinthians , why he did so couragiously and valiantly labour in the Work of the Ministry , notwithstanding the many Difficulties and dangers , the continual Trouble and Opposition he met withal on every side , for commending himself to every mans conscience in the sight of God.

     summary: Had not the Apostle believ'd this , we cannot imagine that he would have esteem'd Death to be gain to him ; or that he would have been in any strait to determine and fix his choice , for present Death or longer Life : for the latter would have been much more eligible , if he had believ'd that his Soul at death would have been as insensible and unactive as his Body ; and no doubt but he would rather have desir'd to continue in this World , where he had enjoy'd Communion with Christ , and often seen him by a steddy eye of Faith , than to be hurried out of it by Death , and render'd utterly incapable of any enjoyment of his Redeemer till the Resurrection . I confess that his own Exaltation and Triumphs began with his Resurrection ; but if there had not been an infinite satisfying Merit in his Death , he had been so fast fetter'd with the bonds of Death , that he could never have burst 'em : but having offer'd a Sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour to God , which was of infinite worth and consideration , the pains of death were loos'd , for 't was impossible he should be held by 'em : naturally impossible ▪ because of his irresistible Power as God ; legally impossible , because he had paid the full Demands of the Law and Justice .

     summary: 4. Fourthly and lastly , Hence I infer , what unspeakable incouragement we have to endeavour after that Universal Righteousness , which intitles us to this blessed state of eternal life ; since God hath proposed such a vast reward to encourage and animate our industry , how can we account any work hard , of which Heaven is the wages ? how can we faint in our Christian race when we see the Crown of Glory hang over the Goal ? IN the foregoing verses of this Chapter our Saviour describes the process of the day of Judgment , and the different Fates to which good and bad men ( whom he describes under the Characters of Sheep and Goats ) shall then be sentenced and consigned , and then he summs up the whole discourse in the words of the Text , These , that is , the Goats , or the Wicked , of whom he had been discoursing in the verses immediately preceding , These shall go away into everlasting punishment , but the Righteous into life eternal ; where by the Righteous we are to understand the truly Pious , and Vertuous , that is , they who render to God , to Men , and to themselves all that duty they owe in their respective Relations and Circumstances : for all our Duties being Dues , our performance of them is nothing but the discharging of our Debts , or being strictly Righteous in rendring to God , and Men , and our selves , what we owe to each by an immutable obligation : and hence the whole Duty of Man is in Scripture very often called by the name of Righteousness , and those who comply with their whole Duty , are frequently styled Righteous , because , to be Righteous , is to render to every one his due , and to render every one his due , is the whole Duty of Man ; so that the meaning of the words is this , they who have been good Men in all their respective Relations , and Circumstances , who have made it the business of their lives to render to God all that Piety and Devotion , to their Neighbours all that Justice and Charity , to themselves all that Sobriety and Temperance which is due from them , both by the command of God , and the judgment of right reason , they , as a reward of this their universal Righteousness , shall by this final judgment be transmitted unto life eternal .

     summary: But if we may say , that some things are more peculiarly the care of Providence , than others , Life and Death are certainly so ; no man can be Born or Die , without the particular Order and Appointment of God : Our Saviour tells us , not a sparrow falls to the ground without our Father , much less men ; and assures his Disciples , that all the hairs of their head are numbred ; and their Lives are more sacred than their Hairs . Our good Queen did not think so , who knew what an Earthly Crown meant , but was willing to part with it for Heaven ; who saw Death approaching without fear , and prepared to receive its Stroke with that calmness and sedateness of Mind , as nothing could give but an innocent Conscience , and much greater Hopes But as for our selves , though we must acknowledge that we have received a very great Loss , in the Death of an excellent Queen , yet we have no reason to quarrel at Providence , while God preserves our King to go in and out before us .

They did see Gods Salvation before they did depart , and so they dyed not under terrour , nor in doubt , nor at any uncertainty , but in peace ; before Death closed the Eyes of their Bodies , God had opened the Eyes of their Faith , and shewn Christ to them , and his love in Christ ; and you have reason to be perswaded good things concerning them , even such as do accompany Salvation , nay , to be now perswaded of their Salvation it self .

For if the Souls of men be extinguished by death ( as the Sadduces believed ) what did it signifie to Abraham , Isaac and Jacob to have God called their God after they were dead ? But surely for God to be any ones God doth signifie some great benefit and advantage ; which yet ( according to the notion which the Jews had of this Phrase ) could not respect this life , because , according to them , God is not said to be any ones God till after he is dead : But it is thus said of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob after their death , and therefore our Saviour infers very strongly against them , that Abraham , Isaac and Jacob were not extinguished by death , but do still live somewhere : for God is not the God of the dead , but of the living .

And true it is , that although God was pleased in all times to communicate to mankind notices of the other world sufficient to encourage vertues , and to contest against the rencontres of the world , yet he was ever sparing in telling the secrets of it ; and when St. Paul had his rapture into Heaven , he saw fine things and heard strange words , but they were {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , words that he could not speak , and secrets that he could not understand , and secrets that he could not communicate .

     summary: And there are many Promises in the Gospel to encourage us in so doing † If any man sin , saith St. John , we have an Advocate with the Father , Jesus Christ the righteous , and he is the propitiation for our sins * So God loved the world , that he gave his only begotten Son , to the end that all that believe in him should not perish , but have everlasting Life . Indeed Men may so far harden themselves in Sin , and reject all the means which God uses for their amendment , as that at last he may before Death withdraw his Spirit from them , give them up to their own Counsels , and the Government of Evil Spirits .

     summary: When God justifieth a sinner , he takes away the condemning power of sinne ; when he sanctifieth , he takes away the reigning power of sinne ; but when he takes him away by death unto himselfe , he takes away the very being of sinne : Death is our cure , sinne brings in death , and death by way of revenge destroyeth sin . Death is the King of terrors , Morral Phylosophy could never finde any remedy against the fear of death .
