Much honoured and dearly beloved in the Lord:
I No ſooner bethought me of this Dedication, then there came likewiſe into my mind that Apoſtolical Diſtinction of true Chriſtians into Fathers, Young men, and Little children, 1 John 2.12, 13. All theſe (taken conjunctim) Saint John had by a moſt kind compellation, called Little children, ver. 1. My little children, ſaith he, theſe things write I unto you (as in an Epiſtle Dedicatory) that ye ſin not; ſc. ſinningly, as chap. 3.6. and mortally, as chap. 5.16. But if any man do ſin, (as alas we can do no leſs) we have an Advocate with the Father (appearing for us, as a Lawyer appeareth for his Client, Heb. 9.24.) even Jeſus Chriſt the juſt one, Vorſtius.(the Judges own Son) and he is the propitiation (that is, the Propitiatour, by a Metalepſis) for our ſins. Learn this in general, ſaith the holy Apoſtle,foreign. Tit. 1.9. and hold it faſt, as with both hands; for it is of the very foundation.
As for particulars, I have yet ſomewhat more to ſay to you (diviſim) ſeverally and aſunder. And firſt, for you, Little children, or Babes in Chriſt, who have had your ſpiritual Conception, Gal. 4.19. Birth, 1 Pet. 1.23. and are now in your child-hood, 1 Cor. 3.12. Heb. 5.13. as well appeareth, 1. Becauſe your ſins are forgiven you for his names ſake, ver. 12. for an aſſurance whereof, God hath given you the Sacrament of Baptiſm; to ſignifie, as by ſign; to aſcertain you, as by ſeal; to convey to you, as by inſtrument, Chriſt Jeſus with all his benefits. 2. Becauſe ye have known the Father, in ſome degree at leaſt, whileſt he hath inwardly ſealed you up by his Spirit, ſet his mark upon you, and ſent you word, as it were, how well he loveth you. Now then, the leſſon that I have to lay before you, Little Ones, is only this, That it is the laſt hour; and as ye have heard that Antichriſt ſhall come, even now there are many Antichriſts abroad, ver. 18. look well to your ſelves therefore that ye be not beguiled (as little ones are apt to be) that ye fall not from your own ſtedfaſtneſs, but (for a Preſervative) grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jeſus Chriſt: to him be glory both now and for ever, Amen. 2 Pet. 3.18.
Next, for you, Fathers; you that are old Diſciples (as Mnaſon is called, Acts 21.16.) you that are already gray-headed, and experienced Chriſtians, Saints of the firſt magnitude, Epheſ. 4.13. ſuch as the Pſalmiſt celebrateth, Pſalm 92.14. I grant that ye have known him that is from the beginning, ver. 13. and I ſay it again, (for your ſingular commendation and encouragement) Ye have known him that is from the beginning, ver. 14. even that Antient of daies, whoſe head and hair are white like wool, as white as ſnow, Rev. 1.14. You know him I ſay, with a knowledge, not only Apprehenſive and Diſciplinary, but alſo Affective and Directive of your whole life. Nevertheleſs, I muſt friendly forewarn you of this one thing,Old Melancthon was much delighted with that ſaying of Achilles in Philoſtratus, foreign. (though ye know it already) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, ver. 15. 'Tis ſtrange you ſhould (and yet 'tis often ſeen you do) dote over impotently on theſe things here below; even then when you have one foot in the grave, and ſhould have the other foot in heaven, whether ye are haſting. The higher the Sun, the ſhorter, ſurely, ſhould be the ſhade. The nearer to the Sea, the ſooner ſhould come in the tide. And as in a Piramide, the higher you go, the leſſer compaſs you find: So ought it to be with you, Reverend Fathers, upon whoſe heads God hath ſet a ſilver crown of hoary hairs already; and will ſhortly ſet upon them an immarceſsible crown of glory.
Laſtly, for you, Young men, that are not only paſt the ſpoon, but come to a well-grown age in Chriſt,foreign I have to praiſe you for this, and again I praiſe you, that ye have in a good meaſure overcome that wicked One, the Troubler, ver. 13, 14. becauſe ye are ſtrong, and the word of God abideth in you, ver. 14 But yet, as ſtrong as ye are, and the glory of young men (Heb. of choice young men) is their ſtrength, Prov. 20.29. well improved by you, becauſe made uſe of againſt the devil; yet let me caution you alſo, as well as Elder Saints, to beware of the world; a ſubtile, a ſly enemy, and very inſinuative into the beſt breaſts: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, is your leſſon too, ver. 15. Divorce the fleſh from the world, and then your Adverſary the Devil can do you no hurt.
Hitherto (worthy Sirs) you have heard the beloved Diſciple (only gloſſed, and paraphraſed a little) and a better you cannot hear: for he was à ſecretis to the wonderful Counſellour, and leaned on his boſom. Shall I now take the humble boldneſs, (Gentlemen) after ſo great an Apoſtle, to beſpeak you ſeverally in like ſort; only with a little inverſion of the Apoſtles order?
And, firſt, for you, Sir▪ (the Grand-ſire, the Antienteſt and moſt honourable of this thrice-worthy Ternio) beſides your ſingular ſagacity, and prudence, both civil and ſacred, (the holy Apoſtles character of a Father) theſe four Notes of an old man in Chriſt are all fairly penſil'd out and exemplified in your religious and righteous life, and practice (abſit verbo invidia) as in any mans I know alive, at this day.
1. Such an one is exceeding humble; as Abraham was, Gen. 18.27. I am but duſt and aſhes: as Jacob was, Gen. 32.10. I am leſs then the leaſt of thy loving kindneſſes, Lord: as David was, Pſalm 22.6. I am a worm and no man: as Nehemiah was, when he prayed for pardon of his Reformations, chap. 13, 22. As Paul was with his Minimiſsimus ſum (ſo Eſtius rendereth him, Epheſ. 3.8.) as Ignatius was, with his Tantillitas noſtra our utmoſt meanneſs: as Auſtin was, with his Non ſum dignus, quem tu diligas, I am utterly unworthy of thy leaſt love: as bleſſed Bradford was with his Miſerrimus peccator Ioh. Bradford: as Mr Dod and Mr. Cleaver (your, and my old and good acquaintance) were; with whom, we well remember, it was uſual, Agur like, to vilifie, yea to nullifie themſelves to the utmoſt. And this comes, 1. From increaſe of light. 2. From much and long experience of their unavoidable failings and infirmities.
2. He is very heavenly minded; as having by the conſtant practice of mortification comfortably ſubdued his corruptions, ſeen through the vanity and vexation of outward things, ſet one foot upon the battlements of heaven, had here much ſweet intercourſe and communion with God, gotten a full gripe of Chriſt, laid faſt hold upon eternal life; for the full fruition whereof, he therefore dearly and daily longs and labours. Hence alſo it comes to paſs, that this good old Saint, this earthly Angel, is ſo heavenly in his Spirit, fruitful in good ſpeeches, innocent in his life, abundant in deeds of Piety and Charity, ſtill doing ſomething that may further his reckoning, and add weight to his crown, which he ever eyeth, and even reacheth after. The former inſtances might be here called over again; all whoſe humility was not more low, then their aims were lofty.
3. This good old diſciple of Chriſt is very able to bear, and forbear: like as a man at maturity, can bear with little childrens follies, and not ſet his w…t to theirs, as we uſe to phraſe it. Thus Abraham bore with Lots rudeneſs: Moſes with the peoples petulancies, and inſolencies: Paul, with the buffoneries, and indignities put upon him by the Corinthians and Galathians: Ye have not injured me at all, ſaith he, Gal. 4.12. Your diſreſpects and affronts reach me not: I am far above them, I am out of your gun-ſhot So Fulgentius, an Ancient of the Church, being abuſed by one who was far his inferiour,Maluit tolerare, quàm deplorare. put it off with Plura adhuc pro Chriſto toleranda, This is a ſmall Trial: I muſt frame to bear more yet for Chriſt As an old Porter that had been beaten to the Croſs, he went ſinging under his burthen; holding it no ſmall grace, Elegantiſſimum Oxymoron. Caſaub.to be diſgraced for the name of Jeſus, as it is ſaid of thoſe Diſciples of our Saviour, Acts 5.41. who ſoon after his Aſcenſion, were, all upon the ſuddain, of Babes, become Grandees in Grace.
4. Laſtly, he is much affected with the ſtate of others: Good Abraham could not reſt in his bed that night, for thinking of poor Sodom, Gen. 19.27. as Luther obſerveth. But eſpecially he is affected with the well-fare, or ill-fare of the Churches; as being himſelf of a publick, that is, of a noble ſpirit; and as a living member of Chriſts myſtical Body, he feels twinges, whenſoever others are hurt in the leaſt. See this in Daniel, Nehemiah, EZra, but eſpecially in Paul, upon whom lay the care and cumber of all the Churches: foreign. 2 Cor. 11.28.it came upon him as an armed man, and gave him no reſt or reſpite. Cyprians Cum ſingulis pectus meum copulo, is well known. And of Calvin it is recorded in his life, by Beza, that he was no otherwiſe affected toward the Churches, though far remote, then if he had born them on his own ſhoulders. This is a ſure Note of a Father. Indeed Babes and young men are ſo cumbred with their own corruptions, have ſo much work of their own to do within doors, that they have little leiſure, or liſt, to look abroad: Neither are they therefore ſo much affected with other mens conditions.
To ſpeak, a little, of thoſe two alſo, in their order. And firſt of the young man in Chriſt: Where let it be, I beſeech you, no trouble or offence of heart, (ſingultus cordis, ſome render it, 1 Sam. 25.31.) to You (Noble Colonel, together with your*Jungat epiſtola quos junxit conjugium: immò charta non non dividat, quos Chriſti nectit amor. Hier. praefat. in Proverb. elect or choice Lady) to be ſet among the ſecond ſort of good Chriſtians: though I muſt needs ſay, for your very eximious and exemplary Piety and Prudence, you may well claim place in the upper form of this lower world. But you know who it was that ſaid long ſince,Cicero. Honeſtum eſt ei, qui in primis non poteſt, in ſecundis tertiiſve conſiſtere: And to have a door-keepers place in Gods houſe, David held no ſmall preferment, Pſalm 84.10. But to go on with our buſineſs: A young man in Chriſt may be thus Characterized.
1. He is ſtrong in grace; but withall, he hath ſome one (or more) ſtrong corruption (ſuppoſe Paſſion, evil Concupiſcence, Worldlineſs, or the like) that holds him play, and puts him ſhrewdly to't: ſo that ſometimes he could almoſt find in his heart to ſin: My feet were almoſt gone, my ſteps had well-nigh ſlipt, Pſalm 73.2. But afterwards, he better bethinks himſelf, forbears and forgoes it, as a man would do a Serpent in his way, or poiſon in his meats. He maketh ſtrong reſiſtance, and reneweth his well-knit reſolutions againſt ſin. A mighty combat and coil there is other whiles: as it uſeth to be in a thunder-clap, cauſed by a hot dry vapour, wrapt up in a cold moiſt cloud, which ends in a great rumble and dreadful crack. Patient Job, and devout David for inſtance: the one abhorring himſelf for his impatient out burſts: the other be-beaſting himſelf, for his precipitancy, his raſh reſolves, one time, when ſick of the Fret, Pſalm 73.22.
2. Next, the weapons of this young mans warfare are not carnal, (ſuch as natural reaſon, ſhame of the world, fear of Hell, &c. have put into his hand) but ſpiritual, mighty through God to the pulling down of Satans ſtrongeſt holds, the digging down of his deepeſt trenches, 2 Cor. 10.5. He fights againſt the enemies of his ſoul, with Gods own Arm, and with Gods own Armour: he is ſtrong in the Lord, and in the power of his might: and taking the ſword of his Spirit (mingling with faith in his heart the Precepts, Menaces and Promiſes) he layes about him luſtily, and prevails accordingly, driving the field of that old Man-ſlayer.
3. He is much affected with his ſucceſs. If he get the better in any meaſure; ſo that he doth not ſo much, and oft break out, as he was wont: if his corruption be any whit abated, his ſtrength increaſed a little, he is marvellous glad and thankfull. Was not David ſo when diſarmed by the diſcretion of Abigail, 1 Sam. 25.and detained from ſhedding innocent blood? As on the other ſide, if wounded and worſted at any time, he is all amort, ſorely, diſquieted, reſtleſs as on a rack; like a man thruſt thorough the body, he bleeds and ſinks, till with Peter, he run to Chriſt the right Chirurgeon in this caſe, (with tears in his eyes, bitter complaints in his mouth, and utmoſt ſelf-abhorrency in his heart) and is cured, ſet right again.
4. Laſtly, He proves at length more then a Conqueror, through Chriſt that loveth him; and whoſe work it is, to ſend forth judgement unto victory, Mat. 12.20. Gr. thruſt it forth with violence,foreign. the Devil and the world in vain oppoſing the work of true grace (called judgement in that Text) which ſhall ſurely be perfected: Becauſe ye have overcome that wicked one, ſaith Saint Iohn, 1 Epiſt. 2.14 Yea ye over-overcome, foreign.ſaith Saint Paul, Rom. 8.37. becauſe ye do gather ſtrength by oppoſition, (as that Giant that fought with Hercules, is fabled to do, by his falling to the earth) ye conquer, even by being conquered:Ant…us. you do daily get ground, and out-grow your corruptions, which are already laid a bleeding and a dying at your feet: And God ſhall bruiſe Satan under your feet ſhortly, Rom. 16.20. So that the broken horns of that old red Dragon ſhall be the Trumpets of your triumph, and the Cornets of your joy.
Lo, Sir, this is that Miles Chriſtianus, that Pancratiaſtes Evangelicus: which whileſt You (a Colonel once in the beſt of Armies, and yet ſtill ſo, by your well-becoming Praenomen) ſhall ſtrive to perſonate, and go on to expreſs, you ſhall War a good warfare, holding faith and a good conſcience: which ſome having put away (Gr. expeld, foreign.as Amnon did Tamar, as Colledges do rakehells, without all hope of re-entry) concerning faith have made ſhipwrack, 1 Tim. 1.18, 19. When as you, Noble Sir, continue conſtant in, and to the Truth which is according to godlineſs, Tit. 1.1. and a hearty hater of all hereſies, and heterodoxies whatſoever. For the which your faithfulneſs, and firmneſs in adhering to Gods holy cauſe, and promoting his Kingdom, your Reward is ſure with him, though not all preſently paid you. A Chriſtian Souldier may have a very great arreer: Paul ſpeaks as if all his Pay were then to take up, when all his warfare was accompliſhed, 2 Tim. 4.7, 8.
Laſtly, for You (Sweet Sir, Mr. Thomas Stephens the younger, for whom my hearts deſire and prayer to God is and ſhall be, that of Davids ſervants for young Solomon, 1 Kings 1.47. or that of Hector in Homer, for his Son Aſtyanax, —foreign.)
May it be your great care now betimes, I beſeech you, to know the God of your Fathers, and to ſerve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind, Lactant.1 Chron. 28.9. Deum cognoſcere, & colere, eſt totum hominis. If you be yet no more then a Babe in Chriſt, One of his little children, for Innocency and Ignoſcency, it ſhall ſuffice: till ſuch time at leaſt, as you come unto the meaſure of the ſtature of the fulneſs of Chriſt, Eph. 4.13. till you grow up to more maturity, and increaſe with the increaſe of God, Coloſ. 2.19 Only it behooveth You, Sir, as ſuch a Babe, to ſee 1. That Chriſt be formed in you of a truth; that You be indeed a partaker of the divine Nature, and of the Life of God; that You have ſome of every grace, though but a little: —ineſt ſua gratia parvis.
2. That you be very ſenſible of your weakneſs, and diſcontentedly contented with it: Like as a child is oft troubled that he is not able to run, lift, labour as men do; and he will be doing as he can at mens actions.
3. As Babes are very hungry; never well, but when the teat or ſpoon is in the mouth, or vitail in the hand: ſo ſhould You, Sir, hunger and thirſt after grace, and the means of grace; as a new-born babe deſire earneſtly the ſincere milk of Gods word, that you may grow thereby, 1 Pet. 2.2. Grow, I ſay, not in Notion but Motion; not in light ſo much as in heat, in gifts as in graces. There are that have the ſpiritual rickets, grow big in the head, but decay in the vitals. Be you none ſuch.
4. Laſtly, As Children are naturally apt to imitate their Parents; whether in good, as Jehoſaphat did his Father David: or in evil, as Iſaac did his Father Abraham: ſo let it be Your great endeavour, to tread in the holy footſteps (as of Your Mother Lois, and of Your Grandmother Eunice, 2 Tim. 1.5.both of them famous in the Church: ſo eſpecially) of Your Renowned Grandfather and Father: in whoſe imparallel examples You have a very Globe of precepts; and by paſſing into the likeneſs of which ſurpaſſing patterns, You ſhall become of a young Saint, an old Angel: of a young Well-wiſher to the Publick, a worthy and Well-accompliſht Patriot; able and apt to ſerve God and Your Countrey in places of nobleſt Note, and higheſt Employment, as Your Progenitors have done in their Generations. And hereunto if either my poor prayers,Mr. J. T. Student of Chriſt-Church, Oxon. as a Suitor at the Throne of grace, or my Sons utmoſt endeavours, as a Tutor made choice of by Your beſt friends, for Your ingenuous Education, may contribute any thing, I dare aſſure You of both.
To draw to an end of this Prefatory diſcourſe, which begins to ſwell beyond the bounds of an Epiſtle; You may very well ſay, Sir, as Solomon once did, Prov. 4 3, 4, 5. I was my Fathers Son, tender, and dearly beloved in the ſight of my Mother. He taught me alſo, and ſaid unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments and live. Get wiſdom, ge… underſtanding, forget it not, &c. Your religious Mother alſo hath not been behind, I dare ſay, to leſſon her Lemuel, with What my Son! and what the Son of my Womb! and what the Son of my Vows▪ Prov. 31.2. You may pleaſe to peruſe what I have written upon thoſe two Texts, and the reſt, now preſented and put into Your hands, in both parts of this third Volume upon the holy Bible. Wherein, if any thing occurr that may be of uſe, either to Your much honoured Parents, or to Your well-beloved ſelf for Their and Your Increaſe and Furtherance in Knowledge and Holineſs, I ſhall take it for a ſufficient Operae precium: and yet hope too, that for the gift (how mean ſoever) beſtowed upon me (how unworthy ſoever) for the behoof of many others, thanks may be given to God by many on my behalf, 2 Cor. 1.11.
Now the very God of peace multiply grace, mercy and peace upon you all, from the greateſt to the leaſt, and upon his whole Iſrael. This is the unfeigned, and ſhall be the conſtant deſire of Him who is, and will be,
Noble Gentlemen, Yours in all due obſervance, till death, John Trapp. Welford this 24. of October, 1659.
