A Sure Guide to Heaven, Conclusion
The Conclusion of the whole.
AND now, my brethren, let me know your minds, What do you intend to do? Will you go on and die, or will you set upon a thorow and speedy conversion, and lay hold on eternal life? how long will you linger in Sodom? how long will you halt between two opinions? 1 Kings 18. 21. Are you not yet resolved whether Christ or Barabbas, whether Bliss or Torment, whether the land of Cabul, 1 Kings 9. 13. or the Paradise of God be the better choice? Is it a disputable case, whether the Abana and Phar…har of Da…us, be better than all the streams of Eden? or whether the vile puddle of sin, be to be preferred before the water of life, clear as Cristal, proceeding, out of the throne of God and of the Lamb? Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can? Will it stand by you to eternity? Will pleasures, titles, lands, treasures, descend with you? Psal. 49. 17. 1. Tim. 6. 7. If not, had you not need look after somewhat that will? What mean you to stand wavering, to be off and on? Foolish Children! how long will you stick between the womb and the world? Shall I leave you at last no farther than Agrippa, but almost perswaded? Why you are for ever lost, if left here. As good not at all, as not altogether Christians. You are half of the mind to give over your former negligent life, and to set to a strict and holy course: you could wish you were as some others be, and could do as they can do. How long will you rest in idle wishes, and fruitless purposes? When will you come to a fixed, full, and firm resolve? Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by t…mpting you to delays? How long hath he toll'd you on in the way of perdition? How many years have you been purposing posing to amend? What if God should have taken you off this while?
Well, put me not off with a dilatory answer: Tell me not of hereafter. I must have your present consent. If you be not now resolved, while the Lord is treating with you, and wooing of you, much less are you like to be hereafter, when these impressions are worn out, and you are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Will you give me your hands? Will you set open the doors, and give the Lord Jesus the full and present possession? Will you put your names into his Covenant? Will you subscribe? What do you resolve upon? If you are still upon your delays, my labour is lost, and all is like to come to nothing. Fain I would, that you should now put in your adventures. Come, cast in your Lot, make your choice: Now is the accepted time, now is the day of thy salvation; to day if you will hear his voice. Why should not this be the day from whence thou shouldest be able to date thine happiness? Why shouldest thou venture a day longer, in this dangerous and dreadful condition? What if God should this night require thy soul? O that thou mightest know in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace, before they be hid from thine eyes! Luke 19. 42. This is thy day, and 'tis but a day, Iohn 9. 4. Others have had their day, and have received their doom; and now art thou brought upon the stage of this world, here to act thy part for a whole eternity. Remember, thou art now upon thy good behaviour for everlasting. If thou make not a wise choice now, thou art undone for ever. Look what thy present choice is, such must thine eternal condition be, Luke 10. 42. Luke 16. 25. Prov. 1. 27, 28, 29.
And is it true indeed? is life and death at thy choice? yea 'tis as true as truth is, Deut. 30. 19. why then, what hinders but that thou shouldest be happy? Nothing doth or can hinder, but thine own wilful neglect, or refusal. It was the passage of the Eunuch to Philip; See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? So I may say to thee: see, here is Christ, here is mercy, pardon, life, what hinders but that thou shouldst be pardoned, and saved? One of the Martyrs as he was praying at the stake, had his pardon set by in a box (which indeed he refused, deservedly, because upon unworthy terms.) But here the terms are most honourable and easie. O sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by thee? Why do but forthwith give up thy consent to Christ, to renounce thy sins, deny thy self, take up the Yoak and the Cross, and thou carriest the day, Christ is thine, pardon, peace, life, blessedness, all are thine: and is not this an offer worth the embracing? Why shouldest thou hesitate, or doubtfully dispute about the case? Is it not past controversie, whether God be better than sin, and glory better than vanity? Why shouldest thou forsake thine own mercy, and sin against thine own life? When wilt thou shake off thy sloth, and lay by thine excuses? Boast not thy self of to morrow, thou knowest not where this night may lodge thee, Prov. 27. 1.
Beloved, now the holy Spirit is striving with you. He will not always strive. Hast thou not selt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God? Hast thou not felt some good motions in thy mind, wherein thou hast been warned of thy danger, and told what thy careless course would end in? It may be thou art like young Samuel, who when the Lord called once and again, he knew not the voice of the Lord, 1 Sam. 3. 6, 7. but these motions and items are the offers, and essays, and calls, and strivings of the spirit. O take the advantage of the tide, and know the day of thy visitation.
Now the Lord Jesus stretcheth wide his arms to receive you. He beseecheth you by us. How movingly how meltingly, how pitifully, how passionately he calleth! The Church is put into a sudden extasie upon the found of his voice, The voice of my beloved, Cant. 2. 8. O wilt thou turn a deaf ear to his voice? It is not the voice that breaketh the Cedars, and maketh the mountains to skip like a Calf, that shaketh the Wilderness, and divideth the flames of fire, it is not Sinai's Thunder; but the soft and still voice. It is not the voice of Mount Ebal, a voice of cursing, and terror; but the voice of Mount Gerizim, the voice of blessing, and of glad tidings of good things. It is not the voice of the Trumpet, nor the noise of War, but a message of peace from the King of peace, Eph. 6. 15. 2 Cor. 5. 18, 20. Methinks it should be with thee as with the Spouse; My soul failed when he spake, Cant. 5. 6. I may say to thee, O sinner, as Martha to her Sister. The Master is come, and he calleth for thee, Iohn 11. 28. Oh now with Mary arise quickly, and come unto him. How sweet are his invitations! He cryeth in the open concourse, If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink, Iohn 7. 37. Prov. 1. 21. He broacheth his own body for thee. O come and lay thy mouth to his side. How free is he! he excludeth none. Whosoever will let him come and take the water of life freely. Rev. 22. 17. Whose is simple, let him turn in hither. Come eat of my bread, drink of the wine which I have mingled. For sake the foolish, and live, Prov. 9. 4, 5, 6. Come unto me, &c. Take my yoak upon you, and learn of me, and ye shall find rest unto your souls, Mat. 11. 28, 29. Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out, John 6. 37. How doth he bemoan the obstinate refuser? O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered by Children, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Mat. 23. 37. Behold me, behold me: I have stretched out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, Isa. 65. 1, 2. O be perswaded now at last, to throw your selves into the arms of love.
Behold, O ye sons of men, the Lord Jesus hath thrown open the prisons, and now he cometh to you (as the Magistrates once to them, Acts 16. 39.) and beseecheth you to come out. If it were from a Palace, or a Paradise that Christ did call you, it were no wonder if you were unwilling (and yet how easily was Adam tolled from thence?) but it is from your prison Sirs, from your Chains, from the Dungeon, from the Darkness that he calleth you, Isa. 42. 6, 7. and yet will you not come? He calleth you unto liberty, Gal. 5. 13. and yet will you not hearken? His Yoak is easie, his Laws are Liberty, his Service Freedom, Matth. 11. 30. Iames 1. 25. 1 Cor. 7. 22. and (whatever prejudices you have against his ways) if a God may be believed, you shall find them all pleasure and peace, and shall tast sweetness and joy unutterable, and take infinite delight and felicity in them, Prov. 3. 17. Psal. 119. 165. … Pet. 1. 8. Psal. 119. 103, 111.
Beloved, I am loth to leave you. I cannot tell how to give you over. I am now ready to shut up, but fain I would drive this bargain between Christ and you, before I end. What! shall I leave you as I found you at last? Have you read hitherto, and are not yet resolved upon a present abandoning all your sins, and closing with Jesus Christ? Alas, what shall I say? What shall I do? Will you turn off all my importunity? Have I run in vain? Have I used so many arguments, and spent so much time to perswade you, and yet must sit down, at last in disappointment? But it is a small matter that you turn me off: You put a slight upon the God that made you; you reject the bowels and beseechings of a Saviour, and will be found resisters of the Holy Ghost, Acts 7. 51. if you will not now be prevailed with to repent and be converted.
Well, though I have called you long, and ye have refused, I shall yet this once more lift up my voice like a Trumpet, and cry from the highest places of the City, before I conclude with a miserable Conclamatum est. Once more I shall call after regardless sinners, that, if it be possible. I may awaken them. O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord, Jer. 22. 29. Unless you be resolved to die, lend your ears to the last calls of mercy. Behold, in the name of God I make open proclamation to you. Hearken unto me, O ye children. Hear instruction, and be wise and refuse it not, Prov. 8. 32. 33.
Ho, every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk, without money and without price. Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat …e that which is good, and let your soul delight it self in fatness. Incline your ear and come ye unto me; hear and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting… Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David, Isai. 55. 1, 2, 3.
Ho, every one that is sick of any manner of disease or torment, Mat…h. 4. 23, 24. or is possessed with an evil spirit, whether of pride, or fury, or lust, or covetousness, come ye to the Physician; bring away your sick. Lo, here is he that healeth all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people.
Ho, every one that is in debt, and every one that is in distress, and every one that is discontented, gather your selves unto Christ… and he will become a Captain over you. He will be your protection from the arrests of the Law; He will save you from the hand of Justice. Behold he is an open sanctuary to you, he is a known Refuge, Heb. 6. 18. Psal. 48. 3. Away with your sins, and come in unto him, lest the avenger of blood seize you, lest devouring wrath overtake you.
Ho, every ignorant sinner, come and buy eyesalve that thou may'st see, Rev. 3. 18. Away with thine excuses; thou art for ever lost, if thou continuest in this estate, 2 Cor. 4. 3. But accept of Christ for thy Prophet, and he will be a light unto thee, Isa. 42. 6. Ephes. 5. 14. Cry unto him for knowledge, study his word, take pains about the Principles of Religion, humble thy self before him, and he will teach thee his way, and make thee wise unto salvation, Mat. 13. 36. Luke 8. 9. Iohn 5. 39. Psal. 25. 9. But if thou wilt not follow him, in the painful use of his means, but sit down, because thou hast but one talent, he will condemn thee for a wicked and slothful servant, Mat. 25. 24, 26.
Ho, every prophane sinner, come in and live: Return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon thee. Be in…eated. Oh return, come: Thou that hast filled thy mouth with oaths, and execrations, all manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven thee, Mark 3. 28. if thou wilt but throughly turn unto Christ, and come in. Though thou wast as unclean as Magdalen; yet put away thy Whoredoms out of thy sight, and thine adulteries from between thy breasts, and give up thy self unto Christ, as a vessel of holiness, alone for his use, and then, though thy sins be as …, they shall be as wooll, and though they be as crimson, they shall be as white as snow, Luke 7. 37. Hos. 2. 2. 1 Thes. 4. 4. Isa. 1. 18.
Hear, O ye drunkards, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine, 1 Sam. 1. 14. Though you have rolled in the vomit of your sin, take the vomit of repentance and heartily disgorge your beloved lusts, and the Lord will receive you, 2. Cor. 6. 17. Give up your selves unto Christ, to live soberly, righteously and godly; embrace his righteousness; accept his government; and though you have been swine he will wash you, Rev. 3. 6.
Hear O ye loose companions, whose delight is in vain and wicked society, to sport away your time in carnal mirth and jollity with them, come in at wisdoms call, and choose her, and her ways, and you shall live, Prov. 9. 5, 6.
Hear, O ye scorners, hear the word of the Lord: Though you have made a sport at godliness, and the professors thereof; though you have made a scorn of Christ, and of his ways; yet, even to you doth he call, to gather you under the wings of his mercy, Prov. 1… 22, 33. In a word, though you should be found among the worst of that black roll, 1 Cor. 6. 9, 10. yet, upon your through Conversion, you shall be washed, you shall be justified, you shall be sanctified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God, ver. 11.
Ho, every formal professor, that art but a lukewarm and dough-baked Christian, and restest in the form of godliness, give over thy halving, and thy halting, be a throughout Christian, and be zealous and repent, and then though thou hast been an offence to Christ's stomach, thou shalt be the joy of his heart, Rev. 3. 16, 19, 20.
And now bear witness, that mercy hath been offered you. I call Heaven and Earth to record against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that you may live, Deut. 30. 19. I can but woo you, and warn you: I cannot compel you to be happy, if I could, I would. What answer will you send me with to my Master? Let me speak unto you as Abrahams servant to them, and now if you will deal kindly and truly with my Master, tell me, Gen. 24. 49. O for such a happy answer, as Rebekah gave to them, Gen. 24. 57, 58. And they said we will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth: And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said I will go. O that I had but thus much from you! Why should I be your accuser, Mat. 10. 14, 15. who thirst for your salvation? Why should the passionate pleadings and wooings of mercy be turned into the horrid aggravations of your obstinacy and additions to your misery? Judge in your selves. Do you not think their condemnation will be doubly dreadful, that shall still go on in their sins, after all endeavours to recall them? Doubtless, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon, yea for Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of Iudgment, than for you, Mat. 11. 22, 24.
Beloved, if you have any pity for your perishing souls, close with the present offers of mercy. If you would not continue and increase the pains of your travelling Ministers, do not stick in the birth. If the God that made you have any Authority with you, obey his command and come in. If you are not the despisers of grace, and would not shut up the doors of mercy against your selves, repent and be converted. Let not Heaven stand open for you in vain. Let not the Lord Jesus open his wares, and bid you buy without money and without price, in vain. Let not his Ministers and his Spirit, strive with you in vain, and leave you now at last unperswaded; lest the sentence go forth against you, The Bellows are burnt, the Lead is consumed of the fire, the Founder melteth in vain. Reprobate Silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them, Jer. 6. 29, 30.
Father of Spirits, take the heart in hand that is too hard for my weakness. Do not thou have ended, though I have done. Half a word from thine effectual power, will do the work. O thou that hast the Key of David, that openest when no man shutteth, open thou this heart as thou didst Lydia's and let the King of glory enter in: And make this soul thy captive. Let not the tempter harden him in delays. Let him not stir from this place, nor take his eyes from these lines till he be resolved to forgo his sins, and to accept of life upon thy self-denying terms. In thy name, O Lord God, did I go forth to these Labours, in thy name do I shut them up. Let not all the time they have cost, be but lost hours; let not all the thoughts of heart, and all the pains that have been about them, be but lost labour. Lord put in thine hand into the heart of this Reader, and send thy Spirit as once thou didst Philip, to join himself to the Chariot of the Eunuch, while he was reading the word. And though I should never know it while I live, yet I beseech thee, Lord God, let it be found at that day, that some souls are converted by these labours, and let some be able to stand …r…h and say, that by these …ers…asions, they were won unto thee. Amen, Amen. Let him that reade hsay, Amen.
Mr. Alleine's Counsel for Personal and Family-godliness.
BEloved, I despair of ever bringing you to salvation without sanctification: Or possessing you of happiness, without perswading you to holiness. God knows I have not the least hope ever to see one of your faces in Heaven, except you be converted and sanctified, and exercise your selves unto godliness. I beseech you study personal godliness, and family-godliness.
1. Personal godliness. Let it be your first care to set up Christ in your hearts. See that you make all your worldly interests to stoop to him, that you be entirely and unreservedly devoted unto him. If you wilfully, and deliberately, and ordinarily harbour any sin, you are undone, Psal 68. 21. Ezek. 18. 20. See that you unfeignedly take the Laws of Christ, as the rule of your words, thoughts, and actions; and subject your whole man, members and mind faithfully to him, Psal. 119. 34. Rom. 6. 13. If you have not a true respect to all Gods Commandments, you are unsound at heart. Psal. 119. 6. Oh study to get the Image and impress of Christ upon you within. Begin with your hearts, else you build without a foundation. Labour to get a saving change within! or else all external performances will be to no purpose. And then study to shew forth the power of godliness in the life. Let Piety be your first and great business. 'Tis the highest point of Justice, to give God his due. Beware that none of you be a Prayer-less person; for that is a most certain discovery of a Christless and a graceless person of one that is a very Stranger to the fear of God. Psal. 14. 4. I…b 15. 4. Suffer not your Bibles to gather dust. See that you converse daily with the word, Iohn 5. 39. That man can never lay claim to blessedness, whose delight is not in the Law of the Lord, Psal. 1. 1, 2. Let meditation and self-examination be your daily exercise.
But Piety, without Charity, is but the half of Christianity, or rather impious hypocrisie. We may not divide the Tables, See therefore that you do Justly, and love mercy, and let Equity and Charity run like an even thread, throughout all your dealings. Be you temperate in all things, and let Chastity and Sobriety be your undivided companions. Let Truth and Purity, Seriousness and Modesty, Heavenliness and Gravity, be the constant ornaments of your speech. Let patience and humility, simplicity and sincerity, shine out in all the parts of your conversations. See that you forget and forgive wrongs, and require them with kindness, as you would be found children of the most High. Be merciful in your censures, and put the most favourable construction upon your brethrens carriage, that their Actions will reasonably bear. Be slow in promising, punctual in fulfilling. Let meekness and innocency, affableness, yieldingness and courtesie, commend your conversations to all men. Let none of your relations want that love and loyalty, that reverence and duty, that tenderness, care and vigilanc…, which their several places and capacities call for. This is throughout godliness. I charge you before the most high God, that none of you be fourd a swearer, or a lyar, a lover of evil company, or a scoffer, or malicious, or covetous, or a drunkard, or a glutton, unrighteous in his dealing… unclean in his living, or a quarreller, or a thief, or a backbiter, or a railer: For I denounce unto you from the living God, that destruction and damnation is the end of all such, Prov. 13. 20. Iam 5. 12. Rev. 21. 8. 1. Cor. 6. 9, 10 Gal. 5. 19, 20, 21.
2. Family godliness. He that hath set up Christ in his heart, will be sure to study to s…t him up in his house. Let every family with you be a Christian Church; 1 C…r. 16 19. every house a house of prayer; let every housholder say with I…shua, I and my …se wi… serve the Lord; Josh. 24. 15. and resolve with David, I will walk within my house with a perfect heart, Psal. 101. 2. Let me press upon you a few duties. In general.
First, Let Religion be in …r families, not as a matter by the by (to be minded at leisure when the world will give you leave) but the standing business of the house. Let them have your prayers as duly as their meals. Is there any of your families, but have time for their taking food? wretched man! canst thou find time to …at in, and not find time to pray in?
Secondly, Settle in upon your hearts, that your souls are bound up in the souls of your family. They are committed unto you, and (if they be lost through your neglect) will be required at your hands. Sirs, if you do not, you shall know, that the charge of souls is a heavy charge, and that the blood of souls is a heavy guilt. O man, hast thou a charge of souls to answer for, and dost thou not yet be…tir thy self for them, that their blood be not found in thy skirts? wilt thou do no more for immortal souls than thou wilt do for thy beasts that perish? what dost thou do for thy children, and servants? thou providest meat and drink for them, agreeable to their natures, and dost thou not the same for thy beasts? thou givest them mediclnes, and cherishest them when they be sick, and dost thou not as much for thy swine? More particularly.
1. Let the solemn reading of the word and singing of Psalms, be your family exercises, Isa. 34. 16. Ioh. 5. 39. Psal. 118. 15. [See Christ singing with his family, viz. his Disciples, Mat. 26. 30 Lu 9. 18.]
2. Let every person in your families be duly called to an account, of their profiting by the word heard or read, as they be about doing your own business. This is a duty of consequence unspeakable, and would be a means to bring those under your charge, to remember and profit by what they receive. See Christs example in calling his family to an account, Mat. 16, 11, 13, 15.
3. Often take an account of the souls under your care, concerning their Spiritual estates; [Herein you must be followers of Christ. Mat. 13. 10, 36, 51. …ark 4 10, 11.] make inquiry into their conditions, insist much upon the sinfulness and misery of their natural estate, and upon the necessity of regeneration and conversion, in order to their salvation. Admonish them gravely of their sins, encourage beginnings. Follow them earnestly, and let them have no quiet for you, till you see them in a saving change. This is a duty of high consequence, but (I am afraid) fearfully neglected. Doth not Conscience say, thou art the Man?
4. Look to the strict sanctifying of the Sabbath by all your housholds, Exod. 20. 19. Lev. 23. 3. Many poor families have little time else. O improve but your Sabbath days as diligently in labouring for knowledge, and doing your Makers work, as you do the other days in doing your own work, and I doubt not but you may come to some proficiency.
5. Let the Morning and Evening Sacrifice of solemn Prayer, be daily offered up in all your families, Psal. 92. 1, 2. Exod. 30. 7, 8. Luke 19, 10. Beware they be not found among the families that call not upon Gods name, for why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your families? Ier. 10. 25. O miserable families, without God in the world, that are without family Prayer! what! have you so many family sins, family wants, family mercies, what! and yet no family Prayer…? how do you pray with all prayer and supplication, if you do not with family Prayer? Eph. 6. 18. Say not, I have no time, What, hast thou all thy time on purpose to serve God, and save thy soul? and yet is this it for which thou canst find no time? find but a heart, and I will find time. Pinch out of your meals, and sleep, rather than want for Prayer. Say not My business will not give leave. This is the greatest business to save thy self, and the souls committed to thee. Besides, a whet will be no let. In a word the blessing of all is to be got by prayer, Ier. 29. 11, 12. 2 Sam. 7. 29. and what is thy business without Gods blessing? say not, I am not able. Use the one talent, and God will increase, Mat. 25. 24. &c. Helps are to be had, till thou art better able. But if there be no other remedy, thou must join with thine abler neighbour, God hath special regard to joint-prayer, Iam 5. 4 10 19 Ac…s 12. 5, 10, 12. 2 Cor. 1. 11. and therefore you must improve family advantages for the performing of it.
6. Put every one in your fami…s upon private prayer. Observe whether they do perform it. G…t …hem the help of a form, if they need it, till they are able to go without it. Direct them how to pray, by mindi…g …hem of their sins, …ants, and mercies, the materials of prayer. This was the practice of Iohn, and of jesus, Luke 11. 1, 2, &c.
7. Set up Catechising in your families, at the least once every week. Have you no dread of the Almighties charge, that you should teach these things diligently to your children, and talk of them as you sit in your houses, &c. Deut 66, 7, 8, 9. & 4. 9, 10. & 11 18, 19, 20. and train them up in the way wherein they should go, Prov 22. 6. the margin. Hath God so commended Abraham, that he would reach his children and houshold, Gen. 18. 19. and that he had many instructed Servants, Gen. 14. 14. see the margin, and given such a promise to him thereupon, and will not you p…t in for a share, neither in the praise, nor the promise? Hath Christ honoured Catechi…ing with his presence, Lis. 2. 46. and will you not own it with your practice? Say not, they are careless, and will not learn: What have you your authority for, if not to use it for God, and the good of their souls? You will call them up, and force them to do your work; and should you not at least be as zealous in putting them upon Gods work? say not, they are dull, and are not capable: If they be dull, God requires of you the more pains and patience, but so dull as they are, you will make them to learn how to work; and can they not learn as well how to live… Are they capable of the mysteries of your Trade, and are they not capable of the plain Principles of Religion? well, as ever you would see the growth of Religion, the cure of Ignorance, the remedy of Prophaneness, the downtal of Error, fulfil you my joy in going through with this duty.
Will you answer the calls of divine providence? would you remove the incumbent, or prevent the impending calamities? would you plant nurseries for the Church of God? would you that God should build your houses, and bless your substance? would you that your children should bless you? that your servants should bless you? Oh then set up Piety in your families as ever you would be blessed, or be a blessing; let your hearts and your houses be the temples of the living God, in which his worship (according to all the forementioned directions) may be, with constancy, reverently performed. Prov. 29. 1. He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy. Oh be wise in time that you be not miserable to Eternity.
