Of Ioy, and Reioycing.

It is the duty of the Saints and servants of God to Ioy and Reioyce; Levit 25.40. Deut. 12.7.16.11. Deut. 26.11, 27. Eccles. 3.12. Gal. 5.22. Eccles. 9.7. Luke 1, 58. Rom. 12.15. Psal. 68.3. 1 Thes. 5.16. Psal. 132.9.

Their Ioy and Reioycing is not a Jovial vain laughter, as carnal men plead, but their Reioycing is in the Lord, which Ioy the world are strangers to; Prov. 14.10. Psal. 9.2. 1 Sam. 2.1. Psal. 32.11. Isa. 61.10. Psal. 33.1. Joel 2.23. Psal. 35.9. Hab. 3.18. Psal. 97.12. Rom. 5.11. Phil. 3.3. 1. Thes. 1.6. Romans 14.17. Phil. 4.4. Luke 1.47.

The servants of God have great Ioy, & re∣ioycing in the Lord, though they are in

trouble, persecutions, and afflictions; Acts 5:41. 2 Cor 7:4. Acts 13:50, 52. 2 Cor. 6:10. Col. 1:24. Acts 16:25. 2 Thes. 1:6. 2 Cor. 8:2. Heb. 10:34. 1 Pet. 1:6. Jam. 1.2. 1 Pet. 4:16.

The matter in which the Saints Reioy∣cing chiefly consisteth.

Gods Commandements is matter of great Ioy to them; Psal. 119:14. Jer. 15:16. Psal. 119:162. Psal. 119:111.

It is Ioy to the just, to do judgment; Prov. 21.15.

Their Ioy is in having a godly Conver∣sation in the World, toward God and men; 2 Cor. 1:12.

They reioyce in hope of the glory of God; Rom. 5:2.12:12.

In seeing and hearing of others grow in grace, and walk in the way of God; 2 Cor. 1:14. Phil. 4:10. 2 Cor. 7:13, 16. 2 John 4. 2 Tim. 1:4. 3 John 4. Philem. 7.

The return of Israels Captivity is matter of Ioy; Psal. 53:6.

It is matter of Ioy to all People, that a Saviour, was born unto them; Luke 2:10.11.

That Christ is frequently preached; Phil. 1:18.

Christs going to the Father, is Ioy to the Saints, because he will come again; John 14:28.

That their names are written in the Book of Life; Luke 10.20.

Reasons why Persons should reioyce in the Lord.

Christ Commanded it; Mat. 5:12.

Christ left his disciples many promises to that very end; John 15:11. John 16:22, 24.

The Apostles put the Saints in mind of those promises to that very end, that their Ioy might be full; 1 John 1.4. 2 John 12.

It is a fruit of the spirit; Gal. 5:22.

The Ioy of the Lord is the Saints strength; Nehem. 8.10.

God meeteth those that Reioyce, and work Righteousness; Isa. 64:5.

His wrath is against those that serve him not with Ioyfulness; Deut. 28.47, 48.

Because the Lord Reioyceth in his people that walk in his wayes; Deut. 30:9. Isa. 62.5. Psal. 104:31. Isa. 65:19. Jer. 32, 41.

The Angels in Heaven reioyce at the con∣version of Sinners; Luke 15.7.10.

Because God is the Saints defender; Psal. 5:11.28:7.

Because the Lord considereth them in trou∣ble and adversity; Psal. 31.7.

Because he is their avenger on their ene∣mies, Psal 35.9.58.10.

What the people of God should not reioyce in.

Not because the Divels are subject to them; Luke 10.20.

Not in vain talking and foolish boasting; Jam: 4:16.

They must not reioyce in iniquity; 1 Cor: 13.6.

Reioyce not when thine enemy falleth, nei∣ther be glad when he stumbleth; Pro: 24:17. Job 31:29. Psal: 35.26.

They should not reioyce because their wealth is great, nor because their hand hath gotten much gain; Job 31.25.

What wicked men reioyce in.

They reioyce in boasting of things that are vain; Jam: 4:16.

They reioyce in things of nought; Amos 6:13.

They reioyce to do evil, and de light them∣selves in the frowardness of the wicked; Prov: 2:14. Jer: 11:15.

They reioyce when God calls to weeping; and to mourning; Isa: 22:13.

They reiovce at things of antiquity, and of a long standing; Isa: 23.7.

Of Repentance.

Repentance commanded and exhorted to; Mat. 3:2. Mark 1:15. Mat. 4:17. Luke 24.47. Mark 6:12. Acts 2:38. Mat: 9:13. Acts 3:19. Heb. 6:1. Acts 17:30. 2 Pet: 3:9. Acts 20:21.

Persons may make a show of Repentance, & yet their hearts not be right in the sight of God; Jer. 2:20. Hosea 7:14. Jer: 3:10. Mal. 2:13.

True Repentance consisteth in these fol∣lowing particulars.

1 In confessing and acknowledging of sin; Psal. 32.5. Jer: 3.13. Psal: 51:3. Hosea 5:15. Prov: 28:13. Jer. 14:20.

2 In an utter forsaking and abhoring of sin; Isa: 55:7. Ezek: 14.6. Jer. 4:3. Prov: 28:13. Isa: 1:16. Ezek: 18:30. Heb: 6:1. Dan: 4:27. Job 42:6. 2 Cor: 7:11. Heb: 9:14. Jonah 3:8.

3 In turning to God and his way, with the whole heart and mind; Prov: 1:23. Isa: 55:7. Deut: 30:2. Isa: 31:6. Jer. 31:19. Joel 2:12. Lam: 3:40. Acts 26:20.

4 In bringing forth good fruit, meet for re∣pentance; Mat. 3:8. Isa. 5.4. Luk. 3.8. Act. 26:20.

Reasons why men and women should repent.

Because Christ came not to call the righ∣teous, but sinners to repentance; Mat: 9:13.

Because the goodness of God, leads persons to repentance; Rom: 2:4. 2 Pet: 3:9.

It is the work of Gods people to instruct per∣sons, that God may give them repentance; 2 Tim: 2.25.

Because God complains of such who neg∣lect repentance; Jer: 8:6. Revel: 9:21.

The excellency of repentance.

By repentance God will repent of the judgments, he thought to bring upon a peo∣ple; Jer: 18:8. Joel 2:13. Jonah 3:10.

There is joy in Heaven at the repentance of sinners; Luke 15:7, 10.

It is the way to have our sins blotted out; Acts 2:38. Luke 24:47. Acts 3:19.5:31.

Danger of neglecting repentance.

Except ye repent ye shall all perish; Luke 13:3, 5.

Without repentance no remission of sin; Acts 8:22.

Churches if found in sin without repen∣tance, God will remove their Candlestick; Revel: 2:5.

Without repentance sin will prove our ru∣in; Ezek: 18:30.

God will fight against those that repent not, with the sword of his mouth; Rovel: 2:16.

Without repentance great tribulations are threatned, especially when God gives space to repent; Revel: 2:21, 22.

Of the Resurrection.

As Adam by his breach of Gods com∣mandement brought a death to the grave

upon all men, even so by the Righteousness and obedience of Jesus Christ, he conquered death, and the grave, and so obtained a resurrection; Rom. 5.17, 18. 1 Cor. 15.21 Hosea 13.14. Heb. 2.14, 15. 1 Pet. 1.3.

The Dead shall Rise.

Though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; Job 19.26.

But God will redeem my Soul, from the power of the Grave; Psal. 49.15.

Thy Dead men shall live together, with my Dead body shall they arise; awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of hearbs, and the earth shall cast out the Dead; Isa. 26.19.

Now that the Dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for he is not a God of the Dead but of the Living; Luke 20.37.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again, in the Resurrection at the last day; John 11.24.

The Pharisees confess there is a Resur∣rection of the Body from the Dead; Acts 23.8.

Now if Christ be preached, that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no Resurrection of the dead; 1 Cor. 15.12.

Others were tortured, not accepting delive∣rance, that they might obtain a better Re∣surrection; Heb. 11.35.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power; 1 Cor. 6.14.

All shall be raised, both the just and the un∣just.

And many which sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, and everlasting contempt; Dan. 12.2.

And before him shall be gathered all na∣tions, and he shall seperate one from another, as a Shepheard devideth his sheep from the Goats; Mat. 25.32.

Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voyce, and shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation; John 5.28, 29.

And have hope towards God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a Re∣surrection of the dead, both of the just and un∣just; Acts 24.15.

And the Sea gave up the dead which were in it, and Death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works; Revel. 20.13.

But some man will say, how are the dead raised, and with what body do they come; 1 Cor. 15.35.

Answ. The same body which men have here in this world, only they shall be changed.

Though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for my self, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me; Job 19.26, 27.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoyceth, my flesh also shall rest in hope, for thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell; Psal. 16.9, 10.

So also is the Resurrection of the dead, it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power, it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritu∣al body; 1 Cor. 15.42, 43, 44.

The reasons why the same body of flesh, shall rise again.

That every one may receive the things done in his body, that the same body may receive joy or punishment and not another body, according to the works done in the

flesh, whether they be good or bad; 2 Cor. 5.10.

It would be rediculous that any other bo∣dy should be crowned, then that which suf∣fered, or punished, then that same body which sinned.

Object. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdome of God; 1 Cor. 15.50.

Answ. By flesh and blood, is not meant simply of the body, but as it is clothed with sin, which is in Scripture called flesh, and indeed none living and dying, in that e∣state, can inherit Gods Kingdome; John 3.5, 6. Rom. 8.13. Gal. 5.19, 21. Ephes. 2.3. Gal. 6.8. Col. 2.11.

The order of the Resurrection.

The Saints shall rise first, but every man in his own order; Christ the first fruites, afterwards they that are Christs at his coming; 1 Cor. 15.23.

For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shoute with the voyce of the Arch-angel, and with the Trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 1 Thes. 4.16.

And I saw Thrones, and they sate on them, and Judgement was given unto them; and I saw the Souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,

and for the word of God— And they lived and raigned with Christ 1000 years.

But the rest of the Dead lived not a∣gain, until the 1000 years were finished; This is the first Resurrection; Revel. 20.4, 5.

Lastly, this Resurrection will be at the last day, at the personal appearing of Christ.

Whose eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; John 6.54.

In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last Trump; for the trumpet shall sound and the Dead shall be raised; 1 Cor 15.52.

For if we believe that Jesus dyed and rose again, even so them also, which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him; 1 Thes. 4.14.

Of Riches.

The people of God ought not to strive, and labour to be Rich; Prov. 23.4. 2 Kings 5.26. Jer. 45.5. Prov. 30.8. Mat. 6.25. 1 Tim. 6.10.11.

Reasons Why.

They are but Vanity.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew, they are disquieted in vain, he heapeth up Riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them; Psal. 49.6.

There is one, and there is not a second, yea he hath neither Child nor Brother, yet there is no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with Riches, this is also vanity; Eccles 4.8.

He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase, this is also vanity; Eccles. 5.10, 11.

2. Because they are deceitful baits to draw away mens hearts from the Truth.

By thy wisdome, & by thy traffique hast thou increased thy Riches, and thine heart is lif∣ted up because of thy Riches; Ezek. 28.4, 5.

And the cares of this World, and the de∣ceitfulness of Riches, choak the word, and it becometh unfruitful; Mat. 13.22.

But when the young man heard that say∣ing, he went away sorrowful, for he had great Possessions; Mat. 19.22.

For Demas hath forsaken me, having lov∣ed this present World, and is departed unto Thessalonica; 2 Tim. 4.10.

But they that will be Rich, fall into Tem∣ptations, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in de∣struction, and perdition; 1 Tim. 6.9.

3. Because wealth gotten by vanity, shall be deminished; Prov. 13.11. Job 20.15.

4. Because he that maketh hast to be Rich, shall not be innocent; Prov. 28.20.

5. He that hasteth to be Rich, hath an evil eye, & considereth not that poverty shall come upon him; Prov. 28.22.

6. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his Riches, and he that giveth to the Rich, shall surely come to want; Prov. 22:16.

7. He that getteth Riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his dayes, & at his end shall he a fool; Jer. 17.11.

8. Because Riches are uncertain.

Riches certainly make themselves wings, they flee away as an Eagle toward Heaven; Pro. 23.5.

For Riches are not for ever, and doth the Crown endure to every Generation; Prov. 27.24.

Charge them that are Rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain Riches; 1 Tim. 6:17.

9. Riches are unprofitable.

Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroak, then a great ran∣some cannot deliver thee.

Will he esteem thy Riches, no nor all the forces of strength; Job 36:19.

They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their Riches, none of them can by any means, redeem his Brother, nor give to God a ransome for him; Psal. 49:6.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath, but Righteousness delivereth from death; Prov. 10:2.11:4.

Their Silver, and their Gold, shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lords wrath; Ezek. 7:19. Zeph. 1:18.
