A

PREACHED
AT
THE
reedified

of
the
Right
Honorable
,
the
Earle
of
Exceter
,
in
his
House
of
Saint
Iohns

The
glory
of
the
latter
House
,
shall
bee
greater
then
of
the
former
,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
and
in
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
AS
we
haue
houses
of
our
owne
,
so
God
hath
his
;
yea
,
as
great
men
haue
more
houses
then
one
,
so
hath
the
Great
God
of
Heauen
much
more
;
more
,
both
in
succession
(
as
here
,
the
latter
house
,
and
the
first
)
and
in
varietie
:
He
hath
an
house
of
flesh
(
Ye
are
the
Temples
of
the
liuing
God
;
)
An
house
of
stone
;
(
Salomon
shal
build
me
an
house
;
)
An
house
immateriall
in
the
Heauens
,

Wherefore
then
hath
God
an
house
?
Wherefore
haue
we
ours
;
but
to
dwell
in
?
But
doth
not
he
himselfe
tell
Dauid
,
and
so
doth
Stephen
the
Protomartyr
(
vpon
whose
day
we
are
falne
)
tell
the
Iewes
,
that
He
dwells
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
?
True
;
Hee
dwells
not
in
his
House
,
as
we
in
ours
,
by
way
of
comprehension
;
he
dwells
in
it
by
testification
of
presence
.
So
doe
we
dwell
in
our
houses
,
that
our
houses
containe
vs
,
that
we
are
only
within
them
,
and
they
without
vs
.
So
doth
he
dwell
in
his
,
that
yet
hee
is
elsewhere
,
yea
,
euerywhere
,
that
his
house
is
within
him
.
Shortly
,
God
dwells
where
he
witnesses
his
gracious
presence
,
that
,
because
hee
doth
both
in
the
Empyreall
heauen
,
amongst
his
Angels
and
Saints
,
and
in
his
Church
vpon
Earth
;
therefore
his
dwelling
is
both
in
the
highest
Heauen
in
perfect
glory
;
&
on
Earth
,
in
the
hearts
and
assemblie
of
his
children
.
As
of
the
former
,
our
Sauiour
saith
;
Jn
domo
Patris
mei
,
Jn
my
Fathers
house
are
many
Mansions
.
So
also
may
wee
say
of
the
latter
,
There
is
much
varietie
and
choice
in
it
;
There
was
the
Church
of
the
Iewes
,
the
Church
of
the
Gentiles
;
There
is
a
materiall
,
and
a
spirituall
house
.
In
the
one
,
Salomons
,
Zorobabels
,
such
piles
as
this
:
In
the
other
;
so
much
multiplicitie
,
as
there
are
Nations
,
yea
,
Congregations
that
professe
the
name
of
Christ
.
One
of
these
was
a
figure
of
the
other
,
the
Materiall
,
vnder
the
Law
;
of
the
Spirituall
,
vnder
the
Gospell
.
Yee
see
now
the
first
house
,
and
the
latter
,
the
subject
of
our
Text
and
discourse
.
The
latter
,
commended
to
vs
comparatiuely
,
positiuely
.
Comparatiuely
with
the
former
,
Maior
gloria
.
Positiuely
,
in
it selfe
,
Jn
this
place
will
J
giue
peace
.
Both
,
set
out
by
the
stile
of
the
promiser
,
and
avower
;
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
All
which
challenge
your
Christian
attention
.
As
the
first
house
(
which
was
materiall
)
was
a
figure
of
the
second
,
which
is
spirituall
:
so
the
glorie
of
that
materiall
,
was
a
figure
of
the
glorie
of
this
spirituall
.
Now
because
all
the
life
and
glorie
of
the
spirituall
,
stands
in
Christ
the
Messias
,
the
Prophet
lookes
through
the
type
of
the
material
,
at
him
which
shal
beautifie
,
yea
,
glorifie
the
spirituall
,
of
whose
exihibition
the
Prophet
speakes
,
Adhuc
modicum
,
Yet
a
little
while
,
and
J
will
shake
the
Heauens
.
This
Modicum
was
but
some
500.
and
odde
yeeres
;
much
to
men
,
but
a
modicum
to
the
Ancient
of
dayes
,
with
whom
1000.
yeeres
are
but
one
day
.
It
is
in
and
by
him
,
that
this
latter
house
vnder
the
Gospell
,
shall
in
glorie
surpasse
that
first
vnder
the
Law
.
The
Prophets
had
spoken
gloriously
of
the
Temple
that
should
be
;
and
now
,
lest
when
the
people
should
see
the
homely
and
cottagelike
reedification
of
Zerubbabel
,
they
should
be
dis-hartned
and
offended
,
the
Prophet
desires
to
draw
their
eyes
from
the
stone
and
timber
,
to
the
spirituall
inside
of
the
Euangelicall
Church
,
shewing
the
glorie
of
this
latter
House
,
to
exceed
the
former
.
Some
grosse
Interpreters
haue
lookt
with
Iewish
eyes
vpon
the
outward
fabrick
,
which
was
threefold
:
Salomons
,
Zorobabels
,
Herods
.
Salomons
,
sumptuous
and
magnificent
;
Zorobabels
,
meane
and
homely
;
Herods
,
rich
and
maiesticall
,
immodico
sumptu
,
incredibili
splendore
,
as
one
sayes
.
Salomons
was
before
defaced
.
Now
because
Zorobabels
was
so
farre
from
making
this
Word
good
,
that
the
people
wept
,
when
they
saw
the
difference
(
which
Caluin
well
obserues
,
was
not
without
a
speciall
prouidence
of
the
all-wise
God
;
else
the
Iewes
would
so
haue
fixed
their
eyes
vpon
the
outward
splendor
,
that
they
would
neuer
haue
looked
for
the
spirituall
and
inward
Grace
of
the
House
of
God
:
)
therefore
they
haue
taken
it
of
Herods
temple
;
the
walls
and
lining
whereof
were
indeed
answerable
to
this
Prophesie
,
more
glorious
.
But
this
conceit
,
as
it
is
too
carnal
,
so
is
quite
dissonant
from
the
context
,
both
in
regard
of
the
precedents
,
and
subsequents
.
Of
the
precedents
:
For
,
how
did
the
desire
of
all
Nations
come
to
that
Pile
of
Herods
?
Of
the
subsequents
:
For
,
what
peace
was
vnder
the
Herodian
Temple
?
First
,
the
builder
of
it
,
was
the
chiefe
oppressor
of
the
Iewish
libertie
:
and
then
secondly
,
it
gaue
occasion
to
the
perpetuall
miserie
of
that
people
.
Pilate
would
expilate
the
Treasures
of
it
for
aquae
ductae
;
which
denied
,
cost
the
Iewes
much
blood
.
Vnder
Claudius
,
twenty
thousand
slaine
in
a
Feast
of
vnleauened
bread
.
Jonathas
the
Priest
slaine
by
theeues
suborned
by
Foelix
,
in
the
very
Temple
;
and
euer
after
,
it
was
the
harbour
and
spoyle
of
Villaines
.
What
hills
of
Carcasses
?
What
streames
of
blood
was
in
't
at
the
last
vastation
?
Enough
to
amaze
any
Reader
:
so
as
in
that
79.
yeeres
wherein
it
stood
(
longer
it
did
not
,
)
it
was
no
better
then
a
stage
of
Tragedies
,
a
shambles
of
crueltie
.
Of
that
therefore
God
could
not
say
,
Dabo
pacem
;
it
was
Templum
adulterinum
,
as
one
calls
it
iustly
,
and
had
neither
command
nor
promise
:
It
was
the
Spirituall
Temple
,
the
Euangelicall
Church
,
whose
glory
shal
be
greater
then
the
Iewish
,
which
shall
be
blessed
with
the
desire
of
the
Nations
,
with
the
assurance
of
Peace
.
But
why
then
doth
the
holy
Ghost
speake
of
Gold
and
Siluer
,
the
costly
materials
of
an
outward
structure
?
Euen
these
very
Metals
are
figuratiue
:
not
that
God
cares
so
much
for
them
,
but
because
wee
doe
;
because
our
eyes
vse
to
bee
dazled
with
this
best
parcell
of
Earth
;
therefore
when
hee
would
describe
a
glorious
Church
,
he
borrowes
the
resemblance
of
Gold
,
Siluer
,
precious
Stones
,
Esay
60.
and
euen
by
these
doth
he
set
forth
his
New
and
Heauenly
Ierusalem
,
Reuel
.
21.
Wherein
then
is
the
glory
of
Gods
Euangelicall
House
greater
,
then
of
the
Legall
?
Yea
,
wherein
is
it
not
greater
?
Whether
yee
looke
to
the
efficient
,
the
matter
,
the
duration
,
the
extent
,
the
seruice
.
The
efficient
,
that
was
built
by
man
,
tho
directed
by
God
:
In
this
,
God
himselfe
is
the
Architect
,
not
onely
giuing
the
modell
,
but
the
frame
.
The
matter
,
whether
of
structure
,
or
ornament
.
The
structure
of
the
one
was
of
stone
and
wood
:
of
the
other
,
is
of
liuing
stones
.
The
ornament
of
the
one
was
Gold
and
Siluer
:
of
the
other
,
diuine
Graces
of
Faith
,
Charitie
,
Hope
,
Sanctitie
,
Truth
,
Pietie
,
and
all
other
vertues
,
to
which
,
Gold
itselfe
were
but
trash
.
The
duration
of
the
one
(
euen
that
longst-liued
Temple
of
Salomon
,
though
called
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
)
domus
seculi
)
was
but
430.
yeeres
.
Of
the
other
,
beyond
time
,
to
eternitie
.
The
extent
of
the
one
to
be
measured
by
a
few
Poles
,
yea
(
though
yee
take
in
the
Courts
,
and
all
)
by
a
few
Acres
:
Of
the
other
,
vniuersall
,
so
farre
as
the
King
of
Heauen
hath
any
Land
.
The
seruice
in
the
one
performed
by
a
few
men
,
mortal
,
sinful
,
the
blood
of
beasts
shed
vpon
the
Altar
:
In
the
other
,
performed
by
our
eternall
High-Priest
,
after
that
higher
order
of
Melchisedech
;
offring
vp
his
owne
most
precious
blood
for
our
redemption
.
In
that
,
Christ
Iesus
was
obscurely
figured
:
In
this
,
really
exhibited
,
borne
,
liuing
,
dying
,
rising
,
ascending
,
preached
,
beleeued
,
liued
,
Euery
way
therfore
both
in
efficient
,
matter
,
duration
,
extent
,
seruice
,
Maiorgloria
.
Let
no
man
tell
mee
now
of
that
iust
wonder
of
the
world
,
the
Iewish
Temple
;
white
Marble
without
,
lined
with
Gold
within
,
Brazen
pillars
,
Golden
vessels
,
costly
vayles
,
an
High-Priesthood
set
forth
with
precious
Stones
,
rich
Robes
,
exquisite
Perfumes
,
curious
Musick
,
and
what-euer
that
ancient
goodly
institution
had
rare
and
admirable
,
I
say
the
clay
of
the
Gospell
,
is
more
worth
then
the
Marble
of
the
Law
;
Euangelicall
Brasse
,
more
worth
then
legall
Gold
;
the
ragges
of
the
Euangelicall
Priesthood
,
more
excellent
then
the
robes
of
the
Leuiticall
.
In
short
;
the
best
of
the
Law
is
not
comparable
to
the
basest
of
the
Gospell
.
Iohn
Baptist
was
the
Ianus
of
both
Testaments
;
he
was
to
the
Churches
,
as
Noah
was
to
the
Worlds
;
he
saw
both
the
first
,
and
the
latter
.
It
is
a
great
word
that
our
Sauiour
saith
of
him
,
that
amongst
those
which
were
borne
,
or
rather
(
as
ours
reade
it
better
)
begotten
of
women
,
there
did
not
a
greater
then
he
arise
:
but
it
is
a
greater
word
that
he
speakes
of
the
Children
of
the
new
Testament
,
that
the
least
in
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
is
greater
then
he
.
I
stand
not
vpon
examining
the
comparison
,
whether
it
bee
ratione
sanctitatis
,
or
officii
;
it
makes
either
way
for
my
purpose
,
therfore
was
John
so
great
,
Yee
shall
now
giue
me
leaue
(
Right
Honourable
)
to
carrie
these
words
in
a
meet
analogie
to
the
present
occasion
.
The
Temples
vnder
the
Law
,
were
both
a
figure
,
and
a
patterne
of
the
Churches
vnder
the
Gospell
.
Within
this
roofe
,
vnder
which
we
now
stand
here
,
was
both
the
former
,
and
the
latter
house
;
and
euen
in
these
walls
doth
God
make
his
Word
good
,
That
the
glorie
of
this
latter
House
shall
bee
greater
,
then
of
the
former
.
The
first
foundation
of
it
was
,
no
doubt
,
both
pious
and
rich
.
I
shall
not
need
to
fetch
the
Pedigrees
of
it
from
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
in
Jnebriamini
O
charissimi
,
Drinke
,
yea
,
drinke
abundantly
,
O
beloued

Cant.

This
happie
liberty
of
the
sauing
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
daily
and
sincerely
preached
to
vs
(
Noble
and
beloued
Christians
)
is
worthy
to
bee
more
worth
vnto
vs
,
then
all
the
treasures
,
ornaments
,
priuiledges
,
of
this
transitory
World
;
&
this
,
since
through
the
inestimable
goodnesse
of
God
,
ye
doe
,
and
may
find
in
this
latter
House
.
Well
hath
God
verified
this
Word
in
your
eies
and
eares
;
The
glorie
of
the
latter
House
shall
be
greater
,
then
of
the
former
.
Hitherto
the
comparatiue
prayse
of
the
latter
House
;
the
positiue
followes
in
the
promise
of
a
gracious
effect
;
In
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
:
wherein
I
know
not
whether
the
blessing
doth
more
grace
the
place
,
or
the
place
the
blessing
;
both
grace
each
other
,
and
both
blesse
Gods
people
;
In
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
.
If
yee
looke
at
the
blessing
it selfe
,
it
is
incomparable
,
Peace
;
that
whereby
the
Hebrews
had
wont
to
expresse
all
welfare
in
their
salutations
,
and
wel-wishes
;
the
Apostolicall
benediction
dichotomizes
all
good
things
into
Grace
and
Peace
;
wherein
,
at
the
narrowest
,
by
Grace
,
all
spirituall
fauours
were
signified
;
temporall
,
by
Peace
.
The
sweet
Singer
of
Israel
could
not
wish
better
to
Gods
Church
,
then
,
Peace
be
within
her
walls
:
and
behold
,
this
is
it
which
God
will
giue
,
Dabo
pacem
:
My
peace
I
giue
you
.
And
what
he
there
giues
,
he
here
promises
,
Dabo
pacem
,
I
will
giue
it
.
But
where
?
Whence
?
In
this
place
.
Not
any
where
;
not
euery
where
;
but
in
his
own
house
,
in
his
latter
house
,
his
Euangelicall
House
;
as
if
this
blessing
were
confined
to
his
holy
walls
,
he
saith
,
In
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
.
This
flower
is
not
for
euerie
syle
;
it
growes
not
wilde
,
but
is
onely
to
be
found
in
the
Garden
of
Sion
.
It
is
very
pregnant
which
the
Psalmist
hath
,
Psal.
128.
5.
and
134.
3.
The
Lord
that
made
Heauen
and
Earth
,
blesse
thee
out
of
Sion
.
He
doth
not
say
,
The
Lord
that
made
the
Earth
,
blesse
thee
out
of
Heauen
;
nor
,
The
Lord
that
made
Heauen
,
blesse
thee
out
of
Heauen
;
but
,
blesse
thee
out
of
Sion
.
As
if
hee
would
teach
vs
,
that
all
blessings
come
,
as
immediately
and
primarily
from
heauen
,
so
immediatly
and
secondarily
from
Sion
,
where
this
Temple
stood
.
Some
Philosophers
haue
held
the
Moone
to
be
the
receptacle
of
al
the
influences
of
the
heauenly
bodies
,
and
the
conueyances
of
them
to
this
inferior
World
,
so
as
all
the
vertue
of
the
vpper
Orbes
and
Starres
are
deriued
by
her
,
to
this
elementary
Sphere
.
Such
doth
both
Dauid
and
Haggai
repute
the
house
of
God
;
whither
,
as
to
Iosephs
Storehouse
,
doth
God
conuey
the
blessings
of
peace
,
that
they
may
be
thence
transmitted
to
the
sonnes
of
men
.
How
,
and
why
then
doth
God
giue
peace
in
this
his
House
?
Because
here
(
as
Bernard
well
)
Deus
&
audit
,
&
auditur
,
God
heares
,
and
is
heard
here
;
audit
orantes
,
erudit
audientes
;
hee
heares
his
suppliants
,
and
teacheth
his
hearers
.
As
this
place
hath
two
vses
,
it
is
both
Oratorium
,
and
auditorium
:
so
in
respect
of
both
,
doth
it
blesse
vs
with
peace
:
our
mouth
procures
it
in
the
one
,
our
care
in
the
other
;
God
workes
in
our
hearts
by
both
.
In
the
first
,
God
sayes
,
as
our
Sauiour
cites
it
,
Domus
me
a
domus
orationis
;
My
House
shall
be
called
,
The
House
of
Prayer
.
And
what
blessing
is
it
,
euen
the
best
of
Peace
,
that
our
prayers
cannot
infeoffe
vs
in
?
Salomon
,
when
hee
would
consecrate
the
Church
hee
had
built
,
solemnely
sues
to
God
,
that
he
would
inuest
it
with
this
priuiledge
of
an
vniuersally-gracious
audience
;
and
numbring
the
occasions
of
distressed
Suppliants
,
makes
it
euer
the
foot
of
his
request
;
(
Then
hearken
to
the
prayer
that
thy
seruant
shall
make
towards
this
place
;
Heare
thou
in
beauen
,
thy
dwelling
place
;
and
when
thou
hearest
,
haue
mercy
.
)
If
euer
therefore
wee
would
haue
peace
outward
,
inward
,
priuate
,
publike
,
secular
,
spirituall
:
If
wee
would
haue
peace
in
our
estate
,
peace
in
our
Land
,
peace
in
our
Church
,
peace
in
our
soules
,
pray
for
it
.
And
if
euer
we
will
pray
for
it
,
pray
here
,
in
Gods
house
,
for
in
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
.
In
vaine
shall
wee
looke
for
it
elsewhere
,
if
we
aske
it
not
here
.
It
is
true
,
we
are
bidden
euery
where
to
lift
vp
pure
hands
to
God
:
but
they
cannot
bee
pure
,
that
are
profane
;
and
they
cannot
be
but
profane
,
that
contemne
the
holy
ordinances
of
God
.
He
said
well
,
In

in

for
(
Know
you
not
,
that
your
bodies
are
the
Temples
of
the
liuing
God
?
)
but
let
me
as
truly
returne
it
;
In

in

Wouldst
thou
pray
with
effect
at

?
Pray
at
Church
;
else
thy
deuotion
is
but
the
sacrifice
of
fooles
;
for
hee
hath
said
it
,
who
hath
good
reason
to
appoint
the
circumstances
of
his
owne
beneficence
,
Jn
this
place
will
J
giue
peace
.
Will
yee
then
see
the
reason
why
there
is
so
much
emptie
Caske
in
the
Celler
of
God
?
Therfore
are
men
void
of
grace
,
because
they
are
voyd
of
deuotion
.
They
seeke
not
God
where
he
may
bee
found
;
and
therefore
it
is
iust
with
God
not
to
be
found
of
them
,
where
they
pretend
to
seeke
him
:
for
,
Jn
hoc
loco
;
Jn
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
.
Gerson
distinguishes
well
in
his
Sermon
de
Angelis
,
that
there
is
Duplex
Coelum
,
A
double
Heauen
;
Gloriae
,
&

of

aboue
,
of
the

;
the
Church
is
the
Heauen
on

;
where
God
is
seene
,
heard
,
spoken
vnto
.
Where
are
his
Saints
(
whose
Assemblies
are
here
;
)
where
are

:
(

As
the
Iewes
then
,
whilest
the
Church
of
God
was
Nationall
,
were
wont
(
according
to
command
)
to
looke
towards
the
Temple
,
if
they
could
not
come
to
it
,
in
their
deuotions
:
So
now
that
the
Church
is
Catholike
,
or
vniuersall
,
and
euery
of
our
Churches
is
equally
Gods
house
(

)
we
shal
gladly
with

goe
vp
to
this

to
pray
;
How
can
wee
looke
for
a
better
incouragement
,
then
God
giues
vs
here
,
In
this
place
will
I
giue
peace
?
In
the
latter
,
as
it
is
Auditorium
,
so
I
create
the
fruit
of
the
lips
to
be
peace
(
saith
God

Naturally
we
are
all
(
euen
those
that
applaud
themselues
in
the
best

of
their

Apostasie

and
we
still
stand
out
in
the

of

There
is
no
way
to
peace
,

by
reconciliation
;
there
is

It
is
not

I
know
)
for
euery
hart
to
apprehend
,
either
the
want
of
this
peace
,
or
the
miserie
of
this
want
.
This
is
one
of
those
happinesses
which
is
most
brag'd
of
,
where
it
is
least
had
.
The
sensual
Securitan
pleases
himself
in
the
conceit
of
his
owne
peace
.
All
is
well
at
home
;
he
quarrels
not
with
himselfe
,
for
hee
denies
himselfe
nothing
,
God
quarrels
not
with
him
;
here
are
no
checks
of
a
chiding
conscience
;
no
frownes
of
an
angrie
Iudge

nothing
There
is
no

Haue

without
all

which
ere

will
breake
out
againe
,

bewray
a

so
much-more-hardly-cured
corruption

Such
is
a
wicked

peace

Haue

Neither
is
the
want
of
this
peace
lesse
perceiued
,
then
the
misery
of
this
want
.
Men
see
no
difference
in
the
face
of
Heauen
,
whatsoeuer
they
doe
;
their
blasphemies
and
prayers
find
the
same
intertainement
:
therefore
the
carelesse
man
resolues
,
I
shall
haue
peace
,
though
I
follow
the
wayes
of
mine
owne
heart
.
Oh
the
miserable
sottishnesse
of
wilfull
sinners
!
Sinne
lyes
(
like
a
sleeping
Bandog
)
at
the
doore
of
their
heart
;
they
looke
vpon
him
,
as
if
hee
would
neuer
wake
;
or
,
as
if
though
he
should
,
yet
he
were
so
clogged
,
and
chained
,
and
muzled
,
that
there
can
be
no

his

Let
God

rowze
him
vp
a

,
he
shall
bay
them
to

hee
shall
flie
vpon

pull
out

:
Then
shall
their

proiect

and
hee

the

could
lay
(
My

Oh

what

If
this

Oh
,
what
shall

Scorpions
for

They
shall
see
that
gulfe
of

ready
to
receiue
them
into
euerlasting
burnings

They
shall
see
the
Deuils
their
incessant

ready

seize

their
guilty

Then
,
O
then

shall
they
know
,
too
late
,
what
an
happinesse
it
is
,
that
God
here
promises
,
Dabo

Would
we
then
auoyde
the
vnspeakeable
horror
of
this
wofull
condition
?
Would
wee
find
the
bed
of
our
sicknesse
and
death
,
comforted
with
the
sweete
testimony
of
an
heauenly
peace
betwixt
God
and
our
soules
?
See
whence
we
must
fetch
it
;
Jn
this
place
will
J
giue
peace
.
If
euer
we
haue
it
,
wee
must
haue
it
from
the
blessed
ordinances
of
God
,
his
Word
and
Sacraments
,
which
this
place
can
affoord
vs
.
In
vaine
shall
yee
seeke
for
this
(
deare
Christians
)
in
a
licentious
Tauerne
,
in
a
rich
Counting-house
,
in
Chambers
of
dalliance
,
in
full
Tables
,
in
Pompous
Courts
;
no
,
not
in
thrones
of
earthly
Maiestie
.
Alas
,
many
of
these
are
the
make-bates
betwixt
Heauen
and
vs
,
most
of
them
can
marre
,
none
of
them
can
make
our
peace
.
It
is
onely
the
despised
Ministery
of
the
Gospell
;
the
Word
of
reconciliation
,
(
as
it
is
called
,
2.

)
which
sounds
in
Gods
House
,
that
can
doe
it
.
As
yee
loue
your
soules
therefore
,
as
you
would
find
peace
at
the
last
,
and
would
looke
with
a
comfortable
assurance
in
the
face
of
death
and
iudgement
;
as
yee
would
see
a
gracious
Mercy-seate
in
the
dreadfull
Tribunall
of
God
,
at
the
day
of
our
last
appearance
,
frequent
the
House
of
God
;
attend
reuerently
and
conscionably
vpon
the
sacred
Institutions
of
God
;
yeeld
your selues
ouer
to
be
wrought
vpon
by
the
powerfull
Gospel
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Oh
,
be
not
you
wanting
vnto
God
,
he
will
not
bee
wanting
vnto
you
,
but
will
make
good
this
promise
of
his
vnfaileable
grace
,
Jn
this

I
giue

It
is
a
great
word
that
is
heere
spoken
,
Dabo

;
and
therfore
it
is
vndertaken
by
an
omnipotent
Agent
,
I
will
giue
peace
.
If
all
the
Angels
of
Heauen
should
haue
said
so
,
we
should
soone
haue
replied

as

This
worke
is
not
for
any
finite
power
;
the
stile
of
peace
,
is
the
peace
of
God
;
the
stile
of
God
,
the
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
man
,
is
,
The
Prince
of
Peace
.
He
is
the
true
Salomon
,
the
other
was
but
typicall
.
It
is
he
onely
,
that
when
the
Disciples
were
tossed
with
contrary
winds
and
threatning
billowes
,
could
command
the
winds
and
waues
to
a
calme
.
It
is
hee
onely
,
that
when
his
Church
is
tossed
with
the
winds
and
waues
of
raging
and
impetuous
enmitie
,
can
giue
outward
peace
.
It
is
he
only
,
that
when
the
distressed
soule
is
tossed
with
the
winds
and
waues
of
strong
temptation
,
of
weake
diffidence
,
can
giue
inward
peace
Iustly
therefore
doth
hee
challenge
this
act
as
his
owne
,
J
will
giue
peace
.
We
vse
to
say
,
It
is
best
treating
of
peace
with
a
Sword
in
our
hand
.
Those
who
hauc
the
aduantage
of
the
warre
,
may
command
peace
:
vnderlings
must
stoope
to
such
conditions
,
as
the
victor
will
yeeld
.
To
shew
vs
therefore
how
easily
he
can
giue
peace
,
God
stiles
himselfe
the
God
of
Hosts
;
a
title
wherein
he
takes
no
small
delight
,
referring
not
to
the
being
of
the
creature
,
but
to
their
marshalling
;
not
to
their
naturall
estate
,
but
their
militarie
;
neither
would
God
bee
lookt
at
in
it
,
as
a
Creator
,
but
as
a
Generall
.
In
but
two
of
the
Prophets
,
Esay
and
Ieremy
,
no
lesse
then
an
hundred
and
thirtie
times
hath
hee
this
stile
giuen
him
.
Euery
thing
,
as
it
hath
an
existence
from
the
Maker
,
so
an
order
from
the
Gouernor
;
and
that
order
is
no
other
then
warlike
,
wherein
it
doth
(
militare
Deo
)
serue
vnder
the
colours
of
the
Almightie
.
All
creatures
are
both
mustred
and
trained
,
and
placed
in
Garrison
,
and
brought
forth
into
the
field
,
in
the
seruice
of
their
Creator
;
they
are
all

Yea
,
why
are
we
apalled
,
when
we
see
the
measures
of
the
sonnes
of
Anak
;
the
spirituall
wickednesses
in
heauenly
places
?
If
wee
looke
at
their
number
,
they
are
Legions
.
If
to
their
strength
,
they
are
Principalities
and
Powers

If

they

our

is

doth

hee
will

hee
is

though

wee

which
giueth

Lastly
,
he
is
the
Lord
of

;
his
vndertakings
are
infallible
:
Hath
hee
said
,
that
the
glory
of
the
Euangelicall
Church
shall
exceede

Legall
?
Hath
hee
said
,
that
,
In

he
will
giue
peace
?
How
can
the
Church
faile
of
glory
,
or
the
soule
of

?
His
Word
can
be
no
more
defectiue

Trust
God
with

causes

trust
him
with

;
doe
that
he
bids
;
expect
what
he
promises

haunt

wait

The
