Doctrine V.

The holy Spirit of the Father doth ſtir the heart of an humbled and inlightened ſinner, to hope for the goodneſſe of the Lord. Ibid.

Reaſon I.

Why the Lord doth in the next place proceed to ſtir up hope, is, becauſe it is the fitteſt facultie of the ſoule to wait upon mercy. p. 112

The manner how God doth ſtirre up the heart of an humble broken hearted ſinner to hope, is in three paſſages. p. 113

1 The Lord doth ſweetly perſwade the heart, that a mans ſinnes are pardonable. p. 113

1 As io is moſt injurious to God. p. 120

2 As it is moſt dangerous to the ſoule. p. 121

The ſinne of preſumption of carnall Hypocrites is ſet forth. p. 123

The grounds of the unreaſonable hopes of carnall Hypocrites, are five:

1 The ignorants hope, that the Lord that made him, will not damne him. p. 125

2 Another hopeth that God is his God, becauſe of his proſpertie in outward things. ibid.

3 Another hopes he ſhall be ſaved, becauſe he hath had an hell of affliction in this life. ibid.

Uſe II.

An uſe of conſolation to every poore broken hearted ſinner: canſt thou but looke to God and hope, I ſay thy condition is good. p. 133

There are foure ſignes to know the true grounded hope of the Saints, from all falſe and flaſhy hopes of Hypocrites:

The firſt ſigne of true hope is, that true hope hath a peculiar certainty in it. p. 135

The ſecond ſigne is this, that a true grounded hope is of great power and ſtrength to hold the ſoule to the truth of the promiſe. p. 137

The third ſigne is this, that the excellency of this hope doth overſhadow all the hopes in the world, that can be offered, propounded, deſired. p. 139

The fourth ſigne is this, a true grounded hope alwayes lendeth ſupply and ſuccour, when all the reſt of a mans abilities doe faile in his owne ſenſe and apprehenſion. p. 140

Uſe III.

Of exhortation, to beſeech every one to labour for this true and grounded hope. p. 143.

The Motives to ſtirre you up to ſeeke this hope are theſe three:

1 Becauſe there is nothing more uſefull than this grace of hope. p. 143

2 Becauſe nothing is more needfull to the ſoule, than this true hope. p. 144

3 Becauſe by this true hope, the hearts of the Saints are kept both in love to God, and in obedience unto him. p. 145

The Meanes to attaine this true grounded Hope are theſe three.

1 You muſt labour to caſt out all carnall ſenſualitie. p. 145

2 You muſt labour to be much acquainted with the precious promiſes of God. p. 146

3 You muſt maintaine in the heart a deepe and ſerious acknowledgement of that ſupreme authoritie of the Lord, to doe what hee will, and how hee will, according unto his owne good pleaſure. p. 148

Doctrine VI.

The Spirit of the Lord quickneth the deſire of an humble and enlightned ſinner to long for the riches of his mercy in Chriſt. p. 150

The reaſon why deſire commeth next in order, and the manner how God the Father doth quicken up the deſires of the ſoule to long for mercy, are. p. 152

Uſe I.

It is an uſe of ſtrong conſolation, to ſtay the hearts of poore ſinners in the midſt of their infirmities; canſt thou but finde thy ſmoking deſire, thy condition is then good. p. 156.

The ſignes of ſound deſires are theſe three:

1 Signe of a ſound deſire is this, that as the deſire is, ſo the endevour will be p. 157

2 Signe of a ſound deſire is this, he that truly deſires mercy and grace, deſireth Chriſt for himſelfe. 158.

3 Signe of a ſound deſire is this, the ſoule that truly deſires mercy, is ready to receive it with thankfulneſſe, and will entertaine the meanes and meſſenger that may bring home Chriſt and mercy to his ſoule. p. 159

Uſe II.

It is of reproofe to all them, that yet have not theſe true and ſincere deſires after grace and ſalvation wrought in them. p. 160

There are three ſorts and rankes of profeſſours and hypocrites, whoſe deſires are unſound: the

Lazy Hypocrite,

Stage Hypocrite,

Terrified Hypocrite.

p. 161

There are foure ſorts of lazy profeſſors, and lazy Hypocrites, that are void of theſe ſound and ſincere hopes:

1 Sort of lazy Hypocrites are ſuch, who when they enjoy the means of ſalvation, yet they esteeme not thy bleſſing, they prize not the meanes. p. 164

2 Sort of lazy Hypocrites are ſuch, who when God hath taken away and deprived them of the ordinary meanes of grace and ſalvation, they are well contented to be without the ſame, they ſit downe very well ſatisfied. p. 166

3 Sort of lazy Hypocrites are ſuch, who when they have the meanes of grace and ſalvation, are content to uſe them, and if they want the meanes will ſeeke out for them, but yet are not carefull to prevent thoſe inconveniences, which hinder them by receiving benefit from the meanes. p. 168

4 Sort of lazy Hypocrites are thoſe, who though they heare the duties commanded, yet they neglect all duties commands. p. 169

There are two ſorts of ſtage Hypocrites, that are void of theſe ſound and ſincere deſires. p. 172

The firſt ſort of ſtage Hypocrites, are ſuch as will take up ſo much of Chriſt and the Goſpell, as may ſtand with their credit, and with their estate. p. 173

The ſecond ſort of ſtage Hypocrites are ſuch, that will uſe all Gods ordinances, but will part with nothing and will ſuffer nothing for the Lord Ieſus. p. 175

The third ſort that are void of ſound and ſincere deſires, are the terrified Hypocrites. p. 177

The ſignes of a terrified Hypocrite are two.

1 He will be lingering and hankering after ſome corruption. p. 178

2 The terrified Hypocrite, he will ſlight and ſlubber over ſmall ſinnes, and ſmall corruptions. p. 178

How farre this terrified Hypocrite will goe, and what he may doe; vid. p. 179

Uſe III.

Is of Exhortation, wherein you are intreated in the bowels of the Lord Ieſus, to long and deſire after the Lord Ieſus Chriſt. p. 191

Means I.

The Means are foure: the firſt is this, be acquainted thorowly with thy owne neceſſities and wants, with that nothingneſſe and emptineſſe in thy ſelfe. p. 192

Means II.

The ſecond is, conſider the neceſsitie after grace and goodneſſe, it is no matter of complement and indifferencie. p. 197

Means III.

The third is, labour to ſpread forth the excellencie of all the beautie and ſurpaſsing glory, that is in the promiſes of God. p. 198

Means IV.

The fourth is, thou muſt know that it is not in thy power to bring thy heart to deſire grace. p. 199

Doctrine VII.

The Spirit of the Lord kindles in an humbled heart, and inlightned ſinner, love and joy to entertaine and rejoyce in the riches of his mercy. p. 205

The opening of the Doctrine conſists in 3. paſſages.

Paſſage I.

Is this, that this love and joy is no where elſe to be found, but in an heart humbled and inlightned. p. 205

Paſſage II.

Is this, that the love and joy is enkindled by the Spirit of the Father. p. 206.

Paſſage III.

Is this, that the love and joy being kindled, they may entertaine and rejoyce in the riches of Gods mercy. p. 207

Reaſon I.

Of the point is this, becauſe that love and joy doe follow deſire. p. 209

The Spirit of the Father, doth enkindle the love and joy in theſe three particulars. p. 217

Particular I.

Is this, God the Father by the Spirit, doth let in ſome ſweetneſſe and relliſh of his love into the ſoule, that doth warme the heart. p. 221

Particular II.

Is this, that the freeneſſe of Gods love, doth enkindle a love in the ſoule. p. 222

Particular III.

Is this, that as the ſweetneſſe did warme it, the freeneſſe kindles it; ſo the greatneſſe of the ſweetneſſe of this love doth ſet the ſoule in a flame. p. 224

Uſe I.

It is an uſe of instruction to enforme you that there is no ſufficiencie in a naturall heart, to be carried to the Lord Ieſus Chriſt, or to the worke of grace. p. 226

Uſe II.

I… is an uſe of conſolation to ſtay and refreſh the hearts of thoſe that have received the gracious worke. p. 233

Uſe III.

It is an uſe of triall to examine your ſelves whether your love and joy be ſound, true, and ſincere, and how it doth differ from the fained, wilde, and hypocriticall love in the world. p. 237

The ſoundneſſe of true love from counterfeit Hypocriticall love, appeareth in theſe five trialls.

Triall I.

Is this, obſerve the root and riſe of thy love, ibid.

Triall II.

Is this, obſerve if thou entertaineſt thy Saviour, as a Saviour; that is, as a King. p. 242

Triall III.

Is this, thou muſt obſerve if thou laboureſt to give contentment to Chriſt. p. 244

Triall IV.

Obſerve whether thy heart doth rejoyce to ſee the happineſſe of the thing you love, p. 251

Triall V.

Is this, it is the nature of true love, to covet nearer union with the thing beloved. p. 254

Uſe IV.

It is of repoſe to all thoſe upon whom this worke of love and joy in Chriſt was never wrought. p. 261

Moſt men have not this love to God, but hatred againſt him. p. 263

The perſons that doe not love the Lord Ieſus Chriſt, they are referred to three ranks. p. 266

Sort I.

Are ſuch as are open enemeis to Chriſt, and who theſe are, are largely deſcribed in p. 267

Sort II.

Are thoſe glozing Neuters that halt betweene two opinions. p. 273

Sort III.

Are thoſe fawning Hypocrites, that are faire in ſhew, but falſe in heart. p. 279

Here are further to bee diſcovered foure ſorts of Hypocrites.

1 There is a whining Hypocrite: p. 280

2 The wrangling Hypocrite: p. 280

3 The glorious Hypocrite: p. 280

4 The preſumptuous Hypocrite. p. 280

We are now come to the worke of the will. p. 283

Doctrine VIII.

The will of a poore ſinner humbled and inlightned, comes to be effectually perſwaded by the Spirit of the Father to reſt upon the freeneſſe of God in Chriſt, that it may be interested therein. p. 284

The opening of this Doctrine conſisteth in 4 particulars.

Particular I.

That this worke muſt be in an heart humbled and enlightned. p. 285

Particular II.

The will muſt be effectually perſwaded, by the Spirit of the Father. p. 287

Particular III.

By the power of this perſwaſion, it casteth it ſelfe upon the rich grace & free mercy of God in Chriſt. p. 295

Now this resting of the ſoule upon the rich grace of God in Chriſt, diſcovereth it ſelfe in a 5. fold Act.

Act I.

It doth imply a going out of the ſoule to Chriſt, that the ſoule runs and reacheth after a Chriſt. p. 296

Act II.

Of resting is this, it layeth faſt hold upon Chriſt. p. 298

Act III.

Of resting is this, it flings the weight of all his occaſions and troubles upon Chriſt. p. 302

Act IV.

Of resting and repoſing is this, it doth draw vertue, and derive power from the Lord Ieſus Chriſt for ſuccour and ſupply. p. 305

Faith doth draw vertue from Chriſt by a three-fold Act. p. 307

Act I.

Is this, Faith doth appropriate and apply the promiſe to it ſelfe in particular. ibid.

Act II.

Faith doth jog the hand of God, and ſets Gods power on worke. p. 309

Act III.

Faith urgeth God with his owne Word, and preſſeth Gods promiſe, and challengeth God on his faithfulneſſe and truth, not to be wanting unto him for the acceptation of his Perſon, and the pardon of his ſinnes. p. 311

Act V.

Of resting is this, it doth leave the ſoule with the promiſe. p. 312

Particular IV.

Is the finall cauſe why it doth reſt, that it may be interested into all the good that is in the promiſe, and to have ſupply of all Spirituall wants from the promiſe. p. 315

The Spirituall wants of the ſoule which faith doth ſupply are of 3. ſorts. p. 316

Sort I.

Of Spirituall wants are theſe, that the ſoule is gone away from God, and is estranged to God; now faith bringeth the ſoule againe to God. ibid.

Want II.

Is this, the ſoule being departed from God, hence the ſoule is deprived of all good, grace, and life; now faith doth not onelyonly bring a ſinner to God, but it doth communicate from God to a ſinner. p. 320

Want III.

Is this, the heart is fearfull lest it ſhould loſe that grace, now faith it is that doth keepe a man grace. p. 322

Queſtion.

How doth the ſoule come to beleeve?

Anſwer.

There are three things in the promiſe where by the will of man is drawne to beleeve. p. 327

Motive I.

Is the All-ſufficiencie of the freeneſſe of Gods love. p. 328

Motive II.

Is this, that this mercy is intended for thee. p. 329

Motive III.

Is this, that God doth earneſtly deſire thee to come and to take this mercy, p. 330

Uſe I.

Of information, that ſaving faith is no part of that holineſſe which Adam had, nor no part of that Image to which wee are reſtored by Sanctification. p. 335

Uſe II.

…t is an uſe of terrour to all that ſtill remaine in unbeleefe. p. 349

The fearfulneſſe of this ſinne of unbeleefe is laid open in foure Particulars. p. 352

Particular I.

Becauſe unbeleefe it doth keepe off the riches of mercies from the ſoule that are in Chriſt, that it cannot enjoy them. p. 352

Particular II.

Vnbeleefe, it doth make all meanes to be unprofitable. p. 356

Particular III.

Vnbeleefe, all ſinne in the ſtrength and power of it in the heart of a ſinner. p. 361

Particular IV.

Vnbeleefe maketh the ſoule of a ſinner to be in a deſperate caſe and condition. p. 366

The danger of unbeleefe doth appeare in theſe three Particulars. p. 369

Particular I.

Conſider it ſeriouſly, that whatſoever thou doſt ſo long as thou art an unbeleever, it is all unprofitable and to no purpoſe at all. p. 369

Particular II.

All the good things an unbeleever doth enjoy, will prove uncomfortable. p. 370

Particular III.

Vnbeleefe is the breeder and maintainer of all the reſt of the ſinnes of an unbeleever. p. 371

Uſe III.

It is a collection concerning the difficultie of the worke of faith, that the worke of faith is beyond the reach of all created power. p. 374

Uſe IV.

It is to ſhew the benefits that come by faith to the ſoule. p. 390

What theſe benefits are in particular, vid. p. 394. and p. 396

Uſe V.

It is an uſe of conſolation and great comfort to all the ſervants of God, that through his mercy have received this grace. p. 416

The knowledge of true ſaving faith from a falſe faith appeareth in theſe three trials. p. 423

Triall I.

Is this, obſerve the root and riſe of thy faith, the cauſe by which thy faith was wrought, and from whence it came. p. 423

Triall II.

Obſerve whether thy faith doth make choice wholly of Christ, and doth reſolve to match with Christ only. p. 428

Triall III.

Obſerve whether thy faith doth beare it ſelfe upon the promiſe in all its extremities, and is ſatisfied with it. p. 431

Uſe VI.

It is a word of reproofe against all thoſe that never ye… were made partakers of the bleſſed worke of grace. p. 434

Moſt that live in the boſome of the Church, want ſaving faith. p. 437

The reaſons of it, vid. p. 440

There bee foure ſorts in particular that have no faith. p. 446

Sort I.

The ignorant perſons. p. 447

Sort II.

The carnall Goſpellers, that doe live ſcandalouſly, and trade in their wickedneſſe. p. 450

Sort III.

The meere civilized or judicious profeſſours, that beare up themſelves much upon their owne wiſdome and judgement. p. 455

Sort IV.

The counterfeit, that have a forged kinde of falſe faith, they have their alcumie faith. p. 464

Of theſe counterfeit beleevers there are three ſorts. p. 465

Sort I.

The firſt ſort of counterfeit beleevers are the temporarie beleevers. p. 465

Sort II.

The ſecond ſort of counterfeit beleevers are the ſturdy hypocrites. p. 483.

Sort III.

The third ſort of counterfeits are the ſhifting ſtately hypocrites. p. 500

Uſe VII.

It is an uſe of exhortation to deſire you to labour to get this grace of faith. p. 515

The hinderances of faith are of two ſorts; ſome are reall hinderances, that doe hinder the ſoule from Chriſt, others doe not hinder the ſoules intereſt in Chriſt. p. 519

The reall hinderances are foure. p. 520

The hinderances that doe not hinder the title to a Chriſt are three in particular. p. 538

Sort I.

The firſt kinde of ſeeming hinderances are thoſe diſcouragements, which oppreſſe the ſoule through carnall reaſoning. p. 538

The ſecond ſort of hinderances are the reſting upon duties, endevours, and performances. p. 546

The third ſort of hinderances is the want of ſenſe and feeling. p. 549

The meanes or cures againſt theſe hinderances are eſpecially three.

Cure I.

A diſtreſſed ſoule is not to looke too long nor too much continually upon the ſight and conſideration of his owne ſinnes. p. 552

Cure II.

Is this, make conſcience either not to attend to, or not to judge thy ſelfe or thy eſtate by any carnall reaſon without a warrant. p. 560

Cure IV.

Is this, in thy proceedings with thy ſelfe, and in the judgement of thy ſelfe, repaire unto the word of the Lord, and paſſe no ſentence, but according to the evidence of the word. p. 573

There are foure rules of direction, to ſhew the ſoule how to repaire to the word.

Rule I.

Is this, thou art to looke into the uprightneſſe and ſinceritie of thine owne ſoule. p. 577

Rule II.

Is this, labour to have thy conſcience ſetled in the truth of grace, which the word doth informe to be in thee. p. 580

Rule III.

Is this, that we ſhould ſtrive mightily to have our hearts overpowred to entertaine that wee have that grace which the Word of truth doth manifest to bee in us.

Rule IIII.

Is this, maintaine in the laſt place the truth, which upon theſe grounds thou haſt received. p. 592

The means to get faith are foure. p. 598

Meanes I.

Is this, wee muſt labour to plucke away all props that the ſoule leanes upon. p. 598

Means II.

Is this, labour to have your hearts establiſhed of the fulneſſe of content that is in the promiſe. p. 601

Means III.

Is this, expect all the good which thou needst and canſt deſire from that ſufficiency of the promiſe. p. 607

Means IIII.

Is this, labour to yeeld to the equall condition of the promiſe. p. 608

The motives to ſtirre up the heart to ſeeke after faith, are three.

Motive I.

Is this, becauſe if you once get this grace, you get all other graces with it. p. 610

Motive II.

Is this, becauſe by faith wee are delivered, and made conquerours over all corruptions. p. 611

Motive III.

Is this, becauſe faith doth bring a bleſsing to all our bleſsings and graces. p. 614

Uſe.

The ſecond branch of the uſe of exhortation, it is to thoſe that have faith, to live by their faith, and to improve it for their beſt good. p. 618
