Sabbath]

;;A day of rest, or a time set apart for holy rest. Exod. 20. 10. Remember the Sabath day to keep it holy. Mar. 2. 27. The Sabbath was made for man. The seventh day from the Creation was the Sabbath of the Jews, as a type and token of spiritual rest. But Jewish Rites being abolished in the death of Christ, which brake down the partition wall: now we Christians have the first day of the week for our Sabbath, in remembrance of Christ his resurrection that day, Act. 20. 7. 1 Cor. 16. 2. The Jewish Sabbath was abrogate by the authority of God, and not of the Church, without Scripture, as Papists faign and imagin.

;;2. The whole week, by a Synecdoche of a part for the whole. Luk. 24. 1. In the first day of the Sabbath. Also. 18. 12. I fast twice every Sabbath, that is, every week. So our Translation reads it, but the Greek word signifies Sabbath.

;;Note. Sabbath is a word in the Hebrew, which, signifieeth to rest, not for idlenesse or any worse imployments, but because of the vacation to Divine and religious duties, for practise whereof the seaventh day was sequestred from the rest, and sanctified to God, as our Lords day now is.

;;Besides this day, the Jews had sundry Feasts, as Easter, Pentecost, &c. whereon because they ceased from their servile works, and kept an holy convocation the first day, and the last hence they were called Sabbaths, as Lev. 26. 2. No ground for Popish feasts. The seventh yeer also was Sabbatical, because of rest from tillage, Lev. 25. 2.

;;This word [Sabbath] is named of cessation and rest from our owne works works, wills, wayes and words, Exod. 20. 10. Isa. 58. 13. Aeb. 4. 10. which day was the seventh day from the Creation wherein God rested from all his work, and blessed and sanctified it, and commanded it to be kept holy to him, Gen. 2. 2, 3. Exod. 20. 8. which was a token of his mercy unto us, and sanctification of his Church, Neh. 9. 14. Exod. 31. 13, 14. This day was sanctified by an holy convocation or assembly of the people, Lev. 23. 3. by offering of sacrifices, Numb. 28. 9, 10. by singing of Psalms, as the title of Psal. 92. doth shew with the Chronicles, 2 Chron. 29. 26, 27. by reading and expounding Scriptures, Act. 13. 15. & 15. 22. by praying, Act. 16. 13. by disputing, conferring, meditating of Gods Word and Works, and of doing works of mercy to those that have need, Act. 17. 2. & 18. 4. Mat. 12. 2, 7, 8, 11, 12.

;;Note. The Sacrifices and accustomed Rites of the Sabbath are mentioned, Numb. 28. & Lev. 23. & 24. where we may read the Offerings once daily used in the week, were doubled on the Sabbath, and the Shew-bread renewed.

;;The Sabbath Ceremonial among the Jews was of three sorts.;;

;;1. The seventh day, or the last day of seaven dayes a Sabbath of Dayes.;;

;;2. A Sabbath of Weeks, or the seventh week.;;

;;3. A Sabbath of Years, or the seventh year.;;

;;1. The seventh day of the worlds Creation, called the Lords Sabbath, because he ceased that day from Createing, Heb. 4. 4. Gen. 2. 2.;;

;;2. The like of that first seventh day, or every seventh day of the week, reckoned from that day, which was the first of the world. This is the Lords Sabbath by institution, but the Jews by observation, Exod. 20. 10.;;

;;3. A day of rest to Christians from servile labour to serve God. This is the like to that which was the first of the worlds Creation, but is the end of every week or seven dayes to Christians, and is their Sabbath consecrated hereto by our Saviours resurection on that day.;;

;;4. Any festivall day, either upon the Sabbath, or else any other day of the week, Luk. 6. 1.;;

;;5. The whole week before or after the Sabbath, by reason of the sanctification by that which went before, or our preparation to that which followed after, Luk. 18. 12. & 24. 1.;;

;;6. The resting and ceasing of men regenerate from sinfull works, in the course of our whole life, which is our spiritual Sabbath, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5, 6.;;

;;7. The resting and freedom of the godly in heaven eternally from all misery, fear, danger, or labour; this is that eternall Sabbath, of which and the former of six sorts, all the other sorts were but types for instruction, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5. 6, 8, 9, 11. Isa. 66. 23.;;

The Sabbath is disttinguished from all other Sabbaths by [He] demonstrative Hasabbath; and it's called a Sabbath of Sabbaths, Exod. 31. 15. an excellent Sabbath. The Jews comparing this with other Sabbaths, call it the Queen, and the other Sabbath, as Pascah Pentecost and Feast of Tabernacles, but Concubines; and the dayes betwen the first great day of the feast, and the last day of it, they compare them to Hand-maids. This Sabbath exceeds all other Sabbaths, and they take their denomiation from it, as the Feast of Expiation, Lev. 16. 21. So the seventh year rest, and the Jubilee, the … years rest are called Sabbaths; and the whole week is so called, Lev. 23. 15. Luk. 18. 12. The Sabbath unto the Jews was a pledge of all the benefits which they were to receive from Christ to come. In the Allegorical signification, their Sabbath signified to them Christ resting in the grave; in the Tropological, it signified their resting from their servile works, and the works of the flesh; and in the Anagogical, it signified to them their eternall rest; but unto us under the Gospel, it is an arbitrary, not … destinate type, for all types are ceased now to us.

The Sabbath differed from all other Feasts and Sabbaths.

1. It had still a preparation going before it, called foreign, or pervigilium Sabbathi, the watch before the Sabbath; and albeit mention be made of the preparation to the Passeover, Joh. 19. 14. yet it was because the Sabbath and Passeover fell both together and the preparation was in respect of the Sabbath, not the Festivall day, this was called a great ….

2. They used to transferre the Festivall dayes to the … bath, but it stood ….

p. 5463. The Sacrifices of all their Feasts gave way to the Sabbath.

4. The Sabbath had a double Sacrifice appointed for it, whereas the Feast dayes had their own particular Sacrifices.

5. The Sabbath was kept in the Wilderness, Numb. 9. 5. but the Feasts were not kept in the Captivity.

6. The whole week took the denomination from the Sabbath. Luke 18. 12. I fast twice in the Sabbath, in the week. So Act. 13. 42. the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached unto them, foreign, in the middle of the …. It differed from the Week-dayes, for in it they came to hear the Scriptures read and expounded, … 1. 21. Luke 4. 31. Acts 14. 15. & 15. 21. but in the Week-dayes they met but occasionally, as Acts 17. 10. Isa. 58. 2. They seek me dayly to know my wayes, but the Sabbath was the appointed time to seek. Weems on the fourth Commandement.

To break the Sabbath]

;;To offend against the Ordinances of God, concerning the Sabbath, by doing some servile and forbidden work. Neh. 13. 17. Why break ye the Sabbath day?

;;2. To do some outward bodily work, commanded of God. Mat. 12. 5. The Priests on the Sabbath day do break the Sabbath in the Temple, and yet are blameless; that is, they do a bodily work in killing Beasts for Sacrifice, which though it break the rest of the day, yet is not against the holiness of the day.

Sabbath dayes journey, was as far as they might travel on the Sabbath day. They measured their journey two wayes: the first was their common measure, and it was called [Ciberath haaretz] diaeta terrae, Gen. 35. 16. i. e. as much ground as a man might go from Morning till Breakfast, or from Breakfast till Dinner; so far was it betwixt Bethlem and Rama: the second measure was the measure for the Sabbath, which was as far as betwixt the uttermost Tent and the Tabernacle, 2000 cubits, Josh. 3. 4. This they called [Teberim Sabbath] terminus Sabbathi, and [Mil] …, an Italian mile; but when they came to Canaan, they might go as far as betwixt their houses and the Synagogue; every mans house was not so near as Mount Olivet was to Jerusalem, Ibid.

Sabbath of the Lord]

;;A day of rest, appointed to be kept holy to the Lord, being spent in his service. Exod. 20. 10. It is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.

The next Sabbath, Act. 13. 42. or in the Week between, or in the Sabbath between, marg.

To sanctifie the Sabbath]

;;Either to ordain the Sabbath unto holy uses, or to apply it unto such uses as it is ordained for. In the former sense God doth sanctifie the Sabbath, and we do sanctifie it in the latter. Exod. 20. 11. God sanctified it.

To sanctifie the Sabbath. It is sanctified by God and Man

God sanctifieth it (Ezek. 20. 12.) two wayes:

1. By sanctifying man to keep it holy.

2. He separates it from a profane to a religious use. Time properly is not sanctified, and it is called holy, only improperly, because it is the measure of holy actions. This is Sanctificatio constitutiva, which belongs only to God, for he made the Sabbath.

Man sanctifieth it two wayes:

1. In judgement, accounting it not a common, but a day holy to the Lord, Act. 10. 15.

2. In use and practise, that it be used as a day holy to Lord. The use of it is set down, Isa. 58. 13. Andrews upon the fourth Commandement.

From Sabbath to Sabbath]

;;Everlasting, without intermission or ceasing of time, even so long as the blessed rest of heaven doth continue. Isa. 66. 23. From Sabbath to Sabbath shall all flesh worship me, saith Jehovah.

Second Sabbath]

;;The latter solemn day of a Jewish Feast, wherein they rested frombodily labours, and kept a publick Assembly, as was used to be done upon the Sabbath day. Luke 6. 1. It came to passe on a second Sabbath day. Lev. 23. 3. Deut. 16. 8.

;;The Ceremonial observation for the Sabbath, was double.

;;First, a precise and strict rest on that day, not so much as to dresse …; which signifieth a rest from sin in this life, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5, 6. and an everlasting rest in heaven, as in the Hebrews.

;;The other observation, that no fire should be kindled on that day, which signifieth, that Gods children in the Kingdom of God shall be freed from all the fire and scorching heat of affliction, Exod. 35. 3.

Whence we may observe, that … Baptist's garment of Camels hair was Sackcloth, opposed to soft and Princely clothing, Mat. 3. 4. & 11. 8. And such the Prophets of old used for to wear, as Elias (in whose habit, and power, and spirit John Baptist came, Luk. 1. 17. (2 King. 1. 8. and Isaiah, Isa. 20. 2. and others, Zech. 13. 4.

Sacrament]

;;is a visible signe and seal of an invisible grace.

;;Or more largely thus:

;;It is an ordinance of God, in the right use whereof, the partaker hath assurance of his being in the Covenant of grace, and salvation by Christ.

;;Of such Sacraments there be two only under the New Testament, Baptism and the Lords Supper. The former being a Seal of our entrance into the Covenant; the other a Seal of our continuance in the Covenant, Mat. 26. 26, 27. Also ch. 28. 18, 19. 1 Cor. 10. 1, 2, 3. 1 Cor. 12. 13. The seven Sacraments of Papists are too many by five, which either lack an outward signe, or institution by Christ, or be no Seals of saving grace.

;;Touching the true Sacraments instituted by Christ himself, this is to be observed, that a lively Faith saveth without them, (so there be no contempt and careless neglect:) but the Sacrament cannot save without faith, Ma. 16. 16. For that which begetteth anew, and justifieth, is not the Sacrament of Faith, (which is common to Reprobates and unbelievers, with the … and believing Christians) but the faith of the Sacrament apprehending Christ, the thing represented, that is the …; not because it is done, but because it is believed, therefore it … and strengtheneth.

Sacrament is considered,

1. In the abstract only, as signs. p. 547In this sense the reprobate do receive holy Seals and Sacraments; otherwise they could not be said to profane the holy things of God; and so they may be Sacraments and work no grace either by themselves, or from God.

2. They are considered in concreto, according to all which they include in their use, viz. as they consist of the signe and the thing signified, the institution of God, and the promise of grace; in this sense the Sacraments are not efficient causes of grace, but onelyonly material causes containing grace, as the vessel doth the physick: So 1 Pet. 3. 19. Baptisme is said to save as the physicians glasse cureth diseases, they have a power to obtain grace, being used in faith and sincere prayer; this to speak accurately, is … about the Sacrament, then from it.

Again, Sacraments are considered,

1. As Signes.

2. As religious Seals.

3. As instruments by which faith works.

5. As means used by us out of conscience and obedience to God, who hath commanded us to use them.

1. As Signes, they are objective and morall causes, exciting the minde, as the Word doth in a morall way. They rerepresent Christ, and him crucified; and this they have common with the Word, Gal. 3. 1.

2. As Seals, Rom. 4. 11. they have no reall or physicall action in or from them, onelyonly they declare that the grace signified doth belong to the worthy receiver but add nothing to him. Yet they so declare as that the Receiver is assured of of the grace signified.

3. As Instruments, faith is stirred up and weakened to lay hold upon Christ, and the benefits of his death and passion; and for this cause there is a reall exhibition of the thing signified and the Sacrament is an Exhibitive seal.

4. As they are used in obedience to God; they profit if we believe and not otherwise; and this way used, our assurance groweth, faith increaseth, and a further degree of communion with Christ is confirmed. Rutherford Due right of Presb. p. 111, 112, 113, 114.

The use of them is threefold.

1. To represent and seal up our communion with Christ and his Church, 1 Cor. 12. 13. & 10. 16. Gal. 3. 27.

2. To distinguish us from Infidels, Turks, and Jews, 1 Cor. 11. As often as we eat the flesh of Christ, and drink his blood in the Sacrament, we should shew sorth his death till he come, both in outward action, and inward thoughts; hence Circumcision and consequently Baptisme, is called a Seal of the … of faith, Rom. 4. 11. The use of a Seal being not onelyonly to certifie and confirme our selves in the assurance of the benefit sealed, but also that others seeing the Seal, may know what benefits we enjoy.

3. To be monuments to put us in minde of our duty; as Baptisme, that we ought to die to sin, and live to righteousnesse, Rom. 6. the Lords Supper, that we might remember and shew forth the Lords death, 1 Cor. 11. 24, 25.

Sacrifice]

;;A sacred action, wherein the faithfull Jews did violently worship God by offering some outward thing unto his glory thereby to testifie his chief dignity and dominion over them, and their servitude and submission unto him. Such sacrifices were either Propitiatory, to procure favour and pardon after some sin; or Gratulatory, to give thanks and praise after some benefit. Psal.. 50. 8. I will not reprove thee for thy Sacrifices. & 51. 16. Lev. 3. 4. & 4. 2. This is Legal sacrifice and typical; Christ Jesus being the truth and substance, who in the offering of himself once upon the Crosse, hath fully appeased Gods wrath. The word [Sacrifice] signifieth slaughtering and killing, as cattle were killed for sacrifice to God, figuring mans mortification or dying to sin, Psal. 51. 19.

;;2. The whole Legall worship, Eccles. 5. 1. Hos. 4. 19.

;;3. Our whole spirituall service, and Christian duties of all sorts within our generall and special callings. Psal. 51. 17. The Sacrifices of God are a … spirit, &c. 1 Pet. 2. 5. Heb. 13. 15. This is Evangelical sacrifices. But touching Papistical sacrifice of the Masse, wherein Christ is said to be corporally offered by the Priests, for the sins both of quick and dead the scripture is alltogether mute and dumbe, save to cry out against it.

;;4 The thing it selfe that by the Jews, or by the Priests, for them was offered up to God, as Beasts, …, &c. not themselves, Heb. 9. 9.

;;5. The thing it selfe, or matter offered up by Christians as an Eucharistical or Gratulatory sacrifice; these sacrifices are Men themselves not Beasts, &c. Rom. 12. 1.

;;6. The thing it self which Christ offered to God his Father … us. This was no creature, but himself concerning his humanity, Heb. 9. 12, 14, 23, 26. & 10. 10. 12, 26.

;;Sacrifices of the Law (not Sacraments of the Gospel) were never appointed of God to any such end, as to take sin away, (which is the peculiar office of Christ, Joh. 1. 29. 1 Tim. 1. 15.) but partly to discern the people of whom Christ must come from all other. 2. To try there obedience, and keep them from will-worship. 3. To be representations to remember them of redemption to come, by that onelyonly true meritorious sacrifice of Christ himself, and to nourish their faith in the promise of that redemption of his.

;;There be two main causes why the Sacrifices which God himselfe commanded, are so often by the Prophets condemned in the Jews.

;;First, because they performed their outward unreasonable oblations, without the inward and reasonable, as we may see in Isa. 1. & 58. & Psal. 50.

;;The second cause is for that they did think by their Sacrifices, not onelyonly to cloak and hide their hypocrisie and wickedness, as Jer. 7. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, &c. but also to give a price to God for their sins, Mat. 6. 6.

The Jews in their Sacrifice offered Beasts and Birds; the Beasts were the Ram, the Lamb, the Bullock and the Goat; the Birds were the Turtle, the Pigeon, and the Sparrow. In the Sacrifice of Leprosie, the beasts were to be without blemish, as it must not be lame, blinde, nor sick, Lev. 26. 16. They might offer nothing that was defective, or redundant in any member, Lev. 21. 25. & 22. 23. The beast might not be sacrificed until it was eight dayes old, Lev. 22. 27. nor if it had lien with one of another kinde, Lev. 19. 19. nor if it had killed a man, Exod. 20. 28. or if it were the price of a Whore, or of a Dog, Deut. 23. Every Sacrifice when it was offered to the Lord, was changed from the use in which it was before; and there was a destruction of the thing offered, living things were killed, liquid things were poured …, and solid things were bruised and burnt, as corn. That which was living was cut downe through the chine-bone of the back; whereunto the Apostle alludes, Heb. 4. 13. and Christ, …. 24. 51. Every Sacrifice was salted with salt, Lev. 2. 13. So Mar. 9. 49. every Sacrifice must be salted with fire; the comparison betwixt the fire and the salt, is in eating out the corruption; and if they will not be this way salted, the Lord will salt them with another sort of fire, even the fire of his wrath. They might have no leaven in their Sacrifices, Lev. 2. 11. except in some few offerings of Thanksgiving, Lev. 7. 13. but in all other Sacrifices, he forbiddeth both honey and leaven, because honey fermenteth as leaven. This leaven figured sin of all sorts, both in doctrine and manners, Luk. 12. 1. Mat. 16. 6. 1 Cor. 5. 8.

A Sacrifice differeth from a Sacrament, in that a Sacrifice giveth unto God, but in a Sacrament we receive from God.

Achitophel, 2 Sam. 17. 23. Shimei, 1 King. 2. 40 The old Prophet in Bethel, 1 King. 13. 13. The man of God who came out of Judah to Bethel, …. 23. The …, 2 King. 4. 24. made use to ride with; as Ziba to carry thereon such provision as he brought unto …, 2 Sam. 16. 1.

Saddle]

And saddled his Asse, Num. 22. 21. As Abraham being spoken to of God to sacrifice his Son, rose early in the morning and saddled his Asse, &c. shewing his readinesse to obey the Will of the Lord, though with the losse of his only Son, whom he loved: So Balaam here riseth in the morning, saddleth his Asse, &c. shewing his greediness to get preferment, and the wages of iniquity, which he loved, though with the losse of the favour of God, (and in the end) of his owne life. Gods children run not so fast in the way of his commandements, when he enlargeth their heart, Psal. 119. 32. but the children of Satan run as fast to evill, and make hast to shed innocent blood, Isa. 59. 7. See Ps. 59. 4, 5. & Prov. 1. 16, 19. Aynsw.

Sadduces]

Just man, Syr. cut, or schismes. A Sect among the Jews, so called from … their first founder, he lived under … Socheus, who succeeded Simeon the just; he was Antigonus his Scholar, and brought up in the doctrine of the Pharisees, but afterward fell from him, and broaches the heresie of the Sadduces.

Their errors were,

1. They rejected the Scripture, except the 5 Books of Moses, therefore Christ confutes them out of these books concerning the Resurrection, Matth. 22. 32. compared with Exod. 3. 6.

2. They denyed any reward for good works, or punishment for evill in the world to come; wherefore Paul in his own defence, cryed out, of the hope, i. e. of the reward expected, and of the Resurrection, from the dead, I am called in question, Act. 23. 6.

3. They denyed the Resurrection, Act. 23. 8. Mat. 22. 23. Luk. 20. 27.

4. They denyed Angels and Spirits, Act. 23. 8. Goodwyn Moses and Aaron, p. 57, 58.

Sadly]

Wherefore look ye so sadly? Gen. 40. 7. Hebr. are your faces evill, marg.

Sadness]

is a passion of the soul, 1 King. 21. 5. Ezek. 13. 22. It manifests it self in the countenance, Gen. 40. 6, 7. Neh. 2. 1, 2, 3. Mat. 6. 16. It hath divers branches.

1. Pity, which is a grief for the evill that befals others, as if it befel our selves.

2. Envy, which is a sadness that we conceive for the good which befalleth others, wishing it were our own.

3. Heavyness, which grieves the minde, when it sees no way to escape.

4. Repentance, which is a sadnesse for by-past sins.

5. Zeal, which is a sadnesse arising from the dishonour of that which we have lost.

The object is, that which is unpleasant, Dan. 6. 14. Mat. 17. 23. & 26. 22. & 19. 22. 1 Thess. 4. 13. as,

1. Affliction, Heb. 12. 11. Jam. 5. 13. 1 Pet. 1. 6. 1 Sam. 1. 7, 8. Neh. 2. 1, 2, 3. Mat. 26. 37, 38.

2. Sin, as our own, 2 Cor. 2. 5, 7. and of others, Mat. 18. 31. Mar. 3. 5, 20. & 9. 2, 3.

The effects of it are,

1. It dryeth up the bones, Prov. 17. 22.

2. Dejects the countenance, 1 Sam. 1. 8, 18. Nehem. 2. 2, 3.

3. It takes away sleep, Dan. 6. 18.

4. It often brings men into despair, as Cain, Saul, and Judas.

5. If it be sanctified, it worketh repentance unto salvation, 2 Cor. 7. 10.

Sadoc]

Just, or justified. The Father of Achim, …. 1. 14.

Safe]

Peace, … 21. 9. marg. Prov. 18. 10. Heb. set aloft, marg. In health both of body and minde, Luk. 15. 27. Preserved from danger, Act. 23. 24. Necessary, profitable, Phil. 3. 1.

Safeguard]

1 Sam. 22. 23. A sure and safe condition under protection, free from danger.

Safely]

Lev. 26. 5. In confident safety, or in hopefull security. …. 1 King. 4. 25. Heb. confidently, marg. Isa. 41. 3. Hebr. in peace marg.

Safety]

Is taken,

I. For prosperity and outward happiness, …. 3. 23. Job 11. 18. Isa. 14. 30. Hos. 2. 18. And so it is taken.

1. For the abundance of outward blessings that God giveth unto the wicked, Job 24. 23.

p. 5492. For external peace, Lev. 25. 18, 19. Jer. 49 31. Ezek. 34. 25.

II. For freedom and immunity from fear, Psal. 78. 53. Lev. 25. 18, 19. Job 11 18. And thus it is taken,

1. In an evil part, when it ariseth from a false confidence; as,

1 They that fear not an enemy, trusting to their own strength and wisdom, which commonly hath an evill successe, Judg. 8. 11. & 18. 7, 10, 27. Jer. 49. 31. …. 30. 9. Dan. 5. 1, 30, 31.

2 They that are … up with their own gifts, thinking themselves free from danger, and … in their own condition, become careless; so that they are exposed to the assaults of … and easily … into sin; which happens both to …, and the faithful, …. 30. 7. compared with the business of Uriah, Mat. 26. 33, 34, 35. This should be shak'd off, Prov. 28. 14. 1 Cor. 10. 12. To remedy, to cure it, See Eph. 6. 11. 1 Pet. 5. 8.

2. Those who being drunk with outward benefits, think they shall never have a change, Isa. 47. 8. Rev. 18. 7. Amos 6. 1. Luk. 17. 26, 27, 28. 1 …. 5. 3. Luk. 12. 18, 19, 20. and they who fear not the wrath and judgements of God against sin, and therefore continue and sleep in it, either being voyd of the fear of God, Jude 12. or perswading themselves, that God sees them not, Gen. 4. 9. Psal. 10. 11. & 64 5. & 73. 10. Jer. 12. 4. Lam. 3. 36.

Or, 2. In a good part, for an immunity from fear, arising from a holy confidence in God and his promises, Psal. 4. 9. & 16. 9 1 Joh. 3. 19.

3. For protection, Psal. 22. 9. Isa. 32. 18.

IV. For that that makes us safe, Heb. 6. 19. Phil. 3. 1. Safety is either of the body or the soul.

That of the body consists in three things.

1. Integrity. The losse of a member is contrary to it.

2. In the safety of the sense, when we are at ease; striking and wounding is contrary to it.

3. In safety and freedom from fear; as on the contrary, to binde one, or shut him up is pre judicial to safety; so that the body is safe when it receiveth no dammage.

The safety of the Soul likewise consists in three things.

1. Lovingnesse; contrary to this is …, with all his crue and retinue.

2. Joy; against which cometh that, as when a man is so dealt with, that he falleth in foreign, in … …, into a drowsinesse of the soul, that he taketh no delight in any good thing; or if he fall into Envy.

3. Peace, Gal. 5. 22. and that either.

1. Within himselfe, in his thoughts; this safety is prejudged by Scandals.

2. Or outward, between him and others; and this is broken or prejudged by contention and strife.

This safety of the Soul is called foreign, tranquillity, and he that cometh against this tranquillity, is an … to the safety thereof: Whereas Esan matcheth himself against the consent of his Parents; Rebekah saith, I am weary of my life, Gen. 27. 46. because of the disquietness and vexation with the …: This Job cals the bitterness of the soul, Job 10. 1. This is most plain, Gen. 45. 27. for there Jacob's soul being dead by Joseph's death, Simeon's imprisonment, and Benjamin's departure; it is said, that when news came that Joseph was alive, the spirit of Jacob revived within him; as if before by torments it had been dead: When any grief cometh to one, we call it the killing of the soul; and it cometh neer unto it, Prov. 17. 22. where it is said, A broken spirit dryeth the bones; and indeed it is the very diminishing of natural heat, and shortning of this life; and so contrary both to the safety of the soul, and the body. Andrews Com. p. 732, 733.

Saffron]

Cant. 4. 14. An hearb, which floweth (before its leaves are sprung out of the ground) in September, and after that it bringeth forth its grassie leaves, which do last untill May; but in Summer neither flowers nor leaves are to be found. The root only remaineth alive, growing under ground, and bringing forth other small roots. It's very cordial, and profitable against many diseases.

Saffron]

;;A sweet Plant so called.

;;2. The faithful and the delectable fruits which they bring forth to God, represented by …, Cant. 4. 14. Spicknard and Saffron. The like is to be said of Spikenard, Calamus, Camphire, &c.

He said]

;;A word uttered, Mat. 9. 4.

;;2. A word conceived, Psal. 141.

;;3. An uncreated and effectual word, Genes. 1. 3. Joh. 1. 3.

Said]

I have said, Job 17. 14. Heb. cryed, or called, marg.

Well said, 1 Sam. 9. 10. Hebr. thy word is good, marg.

Sail]

The cloth that is spread out about the … of ships, to receive the wind, Isa. 23. 33. Act. 27. 17. Ezek. 27. 7.

To sail]

is alwayes taken properly. The efficient cause is God, who taught Noah to make the Ark, Gen. 6. 14 and consequently the use of it, it may be gathered, Psal. 104. 26. For he orders it, Psal. 107. from vers. 24. to 31. The effect is riches, Deut. 33. 19. 1 King. 9. 26, 27, 28. The end is,

1. For Merchandise, Isa. 2. 16. & 23. 1.

2. For Fishing, Mat. 4. 21, 22.

3. For War, Dan. 11. 40.

4. For safety, Gen. 6. 14. Heb. 11. 7.

…]

Rev. 18. 17.

Saint]

;;An holy one, or a person called to holinesse, such is every faithfull person, having the perfect holinesse of Christ, put upon him by imputation of faith, and the quality of imperfect holinesse poured into his heart by the Spirit of sanctification Psal. 16. 2. To the Saints which are in earth, Psal. 132. 12. All godly … Jews, Dan. 7. 18. Eph. 1. 1.

;;2. The holy Angels. Deut. 33. 2. He commeth with thousands of his Saints; that is, with innumerable Angels. One Angel in …, ch. 9. ….

;;3. The whole body of a particular, visible, Church, consisting of good and evill, of private and publick persons, set appart to administer holy things, and all professing holinesse, Phil. 1. 1. Eph. 1. 17. 1 Cor. 1. 2. Saints by calling.

Saints]

Fellow-citizens with the Saints, Eph. 2. 19. That foreign, …, here signifies the Jews, will appear by the … to foreign, strangers before, for in respect to the Jews it was that they were called strangers, they being the only people of God before, and … the Gentiles that were but foreign, strangers (vulgarly known by that name) being received in to be foreign, fellow-citizens, With whom? Why with the same, to whom they were strangers, i. e. the Jews. Dr. Ham Annot. b.

Necessity of the Saints]

;;The uses of poor believers. Rom. 12. 13. Communicate to the necessity of the Saints. The meaning is not, that we should stay from giving till extreme want of the poor do urge us unto it; but our love is to prevent that, by communicating to their behoovefull uses. This communicateing implyeth these things.

;;1. That the needy Saints have a fellowship and interest both in our goods, as touching the use, (every mans property reserved intire) and also in our affections, because we are bound to relieve them with a fellow-feeling of their wants.

;;2. That the rich givers are reciprocally and mutually to be made partakers of the fruit which cometh through the prayers of the faithfull poor, as they are partakers of the goods of their Brethren.

;;Again, the former words have three speciall motives unto Christian liberality toward the poor Saints.

;;First, the compassion of necessity.

;;Secondly, the love of sanctity, or holinesse.

;;Thirdly, the … and benefit of the communion of Saints.

;;To which if we add three more:

;;1. The straight commandement of God, often repeated.

;;2. The precious and manifold promises made unto mercifulnesse in almes-giving.

;;3. The examples of the godly which have shewed themselves liberal, yea bountifull even beyond ability sometime, Act. 2. &. 4. 2 Cor. 8. 3. Then ye have a sixfold cord to draw you to this duty.

For the perfecting of the Saints]

;;Their restoring to that … by the Word of grace, being before out of p. 550happinesse by corruption of nature, Eph. 4. 10, 11. The Greek word in the text signifies two things.

;;1. To restore and set things fallen in the proper place, as Gal. 1. 16.

2. To be more and more perfect and stablished in that estate, 1 Cor. 1. 10.

The words foreign & foreign signifie,

1. To mend or sew that which is rent, Mar. 1. 19.

2. To restore and make whole, and to set in it's own place. A Metaphor taken from Physicians, who set members out of joynt into their naturall place, whereunto the Apostle alludes, Gal. 6. 1.

3. To form and joyn in one body, thus the Apostle speaks of the reprobate, Rom. 9. 22. A Metaphor taken from Potters, who use to frame their pots into divers forms, according to their severall uses appointed by them; thus the Apostle, 1 Cor. 1. 10. while he exhorts the Saints unto concord and unity, earnestly beseeches them that they would all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among them, but that they be foreign, i. e. perfectly joyned together, and united in the same minde; like the whole consisting of severall parts, fitly agreeing among themselves: unto this last signification the perfection of the Saints is most agreable. So that it is nothing else but their spirituall compaction and conjunction both with Christ by faith, and their conformity unto his image, being joyned among themselves mutually, by the bond of love not onelyonly in affection, but likewise judgement, concerning things especially belonging to faith, and religion, whereby true peace is entertained and nourished among them.

This perfection is brought to passe two wayes:

1. By the accession of new members unto the head by faith, and unto the body by love.

2. By the progresse and growth in grace, of these who are already joyned to the head and the rest of the body, Eph. 2. 21. Bodius on the Eph. p. 511. 2. 512. 1.

What he saith, 2 Sam. 17. 5. Heb. What is in his mouth, marg.

Salt]

;;A creature, whose property is sharpnesse, and the effect, to kill corruption.

;;2. The doctrine of the Word, because it seasoneth, not onelyonly the corrupt manners and conversations of men, but the rotten heart within, even corrupt reason, and will, that all may become savoury to God. Mat. 5. 13. Ye are the salt of the earth. Ministers are so called in respect of their Doctrine, Mar. 9. 49 Christians must be seasoned with the Word ere they can consecrate themselves to God, to be a pleasant sacrifice to him.

;;3. Godly wisdome, which seasoneth our communication (as salt doth meat) Col. 4. 9. Let your speech be powdered with salt.

;;4. Christ, by whom all that beleeve in him are made savoury and pleasing to God. Lev. 2. 13. Upon all thine offerings thou shalt bring salt.

Salt, it was used in the Ceremonial worship, Lev. 2. 13. Esdr. 6. 9. & 7. 22. to signifie the incorruptibility and eternity of Gods covenant; a symbole, whereof were the Sacrifices; or, to signifie our flying corruption both in doctrine and manners. It was used for infants newly born, to drie up the redundant humours, Ezek. 16. 4. Elisha by it cureth the naughty waters, 2 King. 2. 20, 21, 22. It makes, the ground barren, Job 39. 9. Psalm 107. 34. Jer. 17. 6.

The Covenant of salt]

;;A firm, sure and uncoruptible Covenant, which lasts for ever. Numb. 18. 19. It is a perpetuall Covenant of salt to the Lord.

Salt sea]

Gen. 14. 3. or sea of salt; meaning, that this goodly Valley, after it was burnt from heaven, became a salt sea, and so barren and fruitlesse, that no living thing, fish or other, was found therein; for so all Histories testifie of that salt and dead sea, as is was also called. Aynsw.

To be salted with fire and salt]

;;That neither the persons of men, nor their actions can relish well, and be pleasing to God, till by fire and salt; that is, the incoruptible Word, and wholesome Doctrine therein contained, they be seasoned and changed (sinful corruptions, soulputrefactions, infidelity and sin being eaten out, and in part consumed. Mar. 9. 49. All men shall be salted with fire, and every Sacrifice shall be salted with fire. Here is an allusion to the Leviticall Law and Custome.

To sow salt]

;;To make the ground barten, or unapt to bring forth any thing, by casting salt upon it. Judg. 9. 45. He destroyed the City, and sowed salt in it.

Saltnesse]

This is used for Barrennesse, Psal. 107. 34. Comp. the text with the marg.

But if it hath lost his saltnesse, Mar. 9. 50. if Ministers, who should season others have lost their ability thereto; who shall mend them? Annot

Salu]

An exaltation, or treading under foot. The Father of Zimri, Numb. 25. 14.

Salvation]

;;Outward safety, victory … deliverance from outward dangers and enemies. Exod. 14. 13. Behold the p. 551salvation of the Lord. Psal. 3. 8. & 51. 12. The joy of his salvation. This is a large signification; as Psal. 12. 1. & 98. 1. & 118. 15. Gen. 49. 18. The Tribe of Dan in two respects had need of Gods deliverance.

;;1 For their inheritance, Judg. 1. vers. 34. Josh. 19. 47.

;;2. For religion, Judg. 18.

;;2. The state of blessed and happy life, as touching the entrance into it, when we begin first to beleeve and repent. Luk. 19. 9. This day salvation is come to thine house. Eph. 2. 8. Luk. 1. 77. As there is no other Saviour but Jesus, so our salvation in whole, and every part is from the merit of his own sufferings and works, done in his own self.

;;3. The perfection of blessed and happy life, as our glorification in heaven. Hereof there are two degrees:

;;The first is, at the time of our death, when the soul being loosed from the body is carryed by elect Angels into the third heavens, Luk. 16. 22.

;;The second degree is at the day of the resurrection, when our whole person body and soul shall be received up into heaven with Christ, into everlasting blisse, Heb. 1. 14. Which shall be the heirs of salvation. Rom. 5. 10. & 13. 11.

;;4. Our blessed life, both as touching the entrance and perfection, the beginning and end of it (even our full happinesse) Heb. 2. 3. If we neglect so great salvation. Rom. 5. 10. 2. Thess. 2. 15. No part of this salvation is merited by Works of grace, which we doe, but from Christs works in his own person.

;;5. The author of salvation. Psal. 27. 1. The Lord is my salvation. Isa. 12. 2. & 17. 10.

;;6. The person of him who is our alone Saviour. Luk. 2. 30. Mine eye hath seen thy salvation; that is, him which by thy decree bringeth, worketh, and giveth salvation, or the person appointed to be our Saviour.

Salvation taken spiritually, is more then life simply, for God liveth, yet he is not saved: It is then such a life as miserable for lorn man obtaineth; therefore the holy Ghost calleth that happinesse that a man should have obtained by keeping the Law, life, not salvation; but the happinesse we get by the Gospel, salvation; it is called both Gods and ours; Gods, Psal. 70. 5. & 21. 2. because it comes from God; but chiefly it is called Ours, because we are partakers of it by Christ.

Salvation]

Psal. 144. 10. or Victory, marg.

Salvation]

;;Our glorification begun by remission of sins and sanctification, when we first beleeve in Christ, Heb. 2. 3. that is, the means of it. So he calls the doctrine of the Gospel, metaphorically from the effect, (saith Pareus) because faith in the Gospel brings to us eternal salvation. For the Gospel is the power of God to salvation to every believer. Leighs Annot.

;;2. Glorification, compleat and perfect, when the Saints being raised again, doe possesse heavenly blessednesse, Heb. 9. 26.

Salvation]

;;Safety of the people of God, by their deliverance from cruell Tyrats, who sought to destroy their bodies and from Satans malicious power, who would kill their souls. Revel. 12. 10. Now is come salvation, &c. This is the … of victory, which the Church, and multitude of Saints on the earth, sing to Gods praise like to that in Exod. 15. 1, 2, &c. Jude v. 5. 1 Sam. 2. 6, 7.

;;2. The praise due to God, for salvation given unto his Church. Revel. 19. Salvation and honour, and glory to our God.

The praise of our deliverance belongeth to our God; for we cannot deliver, nor could have delivered our selves, vers. 12. Psal. 3. 8. Jonah 2. 9. Annot.

Now is the day of salvation, 2 Cor. 6. 2. Now the time is approaching, that the true pure Christian profession, thus long persecuted by the Jews and Gnosticks so sharply (by which means it comes to passe that many daily fall off to save themselves) shall suddenly have respite by the destruction of the enemies every where. Dr. Hammon. Annot. a.

Having salvation, Zech. 9. 9. or saving himself, marg.

Helmet of salvation]

;;Either that Saviour Jesus himselfe, or that salvation and deliverance which Jesus purchased from sin and death, to be as an Helmet on our head to defend us against spiritual assults. Eph. 6. 17. And take the Helmet of salvation, &c.

Helmet of salvation. Hope, 1 Thess. 5. 8. So called by a Metonymie of the Effect, because it bringeth salvation to them that wear it, for we are saved by hope, Rom. 8. 24.

Salvation of the Jews]

;;The oracles of life, and Covenant of salvation, not onelyonly to have been committed unto, but to have been derived to other people of the world from the Jews, of whom came Christ also, in knowledge of whom stands all true salvation, Joh. 4. 22. See Isa. 5. 3. & Psal. 110. 2. Luk. 24. 47. Rom. 9 5.

Our salvation is neerer, Rom. 13. 11. Salvation here signifies the deliverance of the believing Jews, or Christians, out of persecutions, which (after the example of Christ) befel them in the first age, and from which they were delivered, partly by the great act of vengance from Christ upon the Jews the crucifiers of him, and persecuters of his followers; and partly by their departing generally out of Judea, before that destruction, befell the Jews; and partly by the halcyo nan dayes which under Vespasian were allowed the Christians after this time in all places. Dr. Hammond Annot. c.

Salvation prepared]

It is prepared,

1. By pre-ordination, Mat. 25. 34.

2. By creation, when the Lord made. the heaven of heavens, Prov. 8. 27.

3. By the sending of Christ, Joh. 3. 16. Heb. 5. 7, 8, 9. Eph. 1. 14.

4. By regeneration, 1 Pet. 1. 3.

5. By justification, Luk. 1. 77. Rev. 19. 7, 8. Eph. 1. 5, 6.

6. By our resurrection. Bifield on Pet. p. 49.

Salvation ready to be revealed]

It is revealed,

I. in this life.

1. By negation; for we know there shall be no sin, nor sorrow, nor temptation, in heaven.

2. In respect of assurance by faith and hope.

To work out salvation]

;;To go forward diligently, and constantly to perservere in the course of salvation, wherein they were now setled. Phil. 2. 12. Work out, or make an end of your salvation, &c. Papists do think to have help from this Text, to uphold their rotten building of Freewill in matters of salvation, as if it were a forcible efficient cause of salvation, or a partner of it selfe with the holy Ghost in doing good works. Whereas this is but an exhortation to shew what we ought to doe, not to declare what we are able to doe. Moreover, albeit it is we which will, when we do will; and we which doe, when we do doe, yet seeing it is written in vers. 13. that God worketh both will and deed, therefore Free-will of it own force worketh nothing, willeth nothing toward the pleasing of God, and attaining of salvation, but so far as God doth make it able to will, and to work.

;;Note. There be sundry things which accompany salvation, Heb. 6. to witnesse it to us: As suffering of afflictions, and good works, which be not grounds and causes of our salvation, as the free promise of God, the merit of Christs passion and death, the Spirit of faith. The Papists do unskilfully confound these things. Also we are further to note that Salvation, when it signifieth the first entry thereunto, namely the remission of sins, and justification, with newnesse of life, then good works are not necessarily required thereunto; because ones sins must be forgiven ere good works can be done: but when Salvation is put for Eternall life here-after to be possessed in heaven, then good works are needfull (not as a meritorious cause, but) as a mean … way wherein to walk thither.

Salutation]

Ought not to be neglected, for

1. It is commanded, Mat. 10. 12.

2. The Apostles and other Saints have used it.

Samaritan]

Joh. 8. 48. This title of Samaritan here, is by way of reproach affixt on Christ, not that they thought him so, but because this was an odious name among the Jews; so as Idolaters, Levit. 25. 47. are called …, or …, because the Syrians were anciently such; and thus all cruell men we call Turks; and covetous Jews; not that we think they are such naturally but that they are like unto them.

Sanctification]

;;A freedome from the tyranny of sin, into the liberty of holynesse begun here, and daily to be encreased till we be perfect. 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ is made to us of God sanctification.

;;2. The separation of things or persons from common or profane use, that they may remain holy unto the Lord for a time, or for ever. This belongs to the Priests, Levites, and Ceremones of the Law, &c. This is Ceremonial Sanctification, whereof in Exod. and Levit. 11. 43, 44.

;;3. The whole work of grace, whereby sinners of the children of wrath and bondslaves of Satan are consecrated and dedicated unto God (being purged and cleansed in the blood of Christ that they may become his children and true worshippers. In this sense, it comprenends regeneration, p. 553reconciliation, justification, and adoption. 1 Pet. 1. 2. Elect … …. This is universall Sanctification, comprehending the whole work of grace.

;;4. That peculiar work of the Spirit, creating in the Elect (converted souls) that new quality of holinesse, whereby they can in some measure truely hate their owne sins with firm purpose to leave them, and love Gods Law, with resolution to do it in some good measure. 1 Cor. 6. 11. Justified and sanctified. 2 Thess. 2. 13. Through the santification of the Spirit. This is Sanctification particular, and inherent, and peculiar to the elect, who by it are brought to Salvation. This Sanctification hath two parts, Mortification of sin and vivification of the spirit, or new man, Col. 3. 5, 11. Eph. 2. 4. Rom. 8. 12, 13; 14. It is begun here, and perfected in heaven.

;;In holy Scripture divers names be given to Sanctification; it is named, Santification of the Spirit, 1 Pet. 1. 2. 2 Thess. 2. 13. Regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost, Joh. 3. 3. Tit. 3. 5. in respect of God the efficient and chief worker, but in resepct of elect sinners, in whom this grace is wrought, it is named, Repentance, Newnesse of life, Obedience, Righteousnesse, Holinesse, Act. 26. 18, 30. Luk. 24. 47. Rom. 6. 16, 18, 22. Lastly in respect of God and men together, it is styled, Conversion, Act. 15. 3. Being converted of God, we are also commanded and said in Scripture to convert our selves, and to sanctifie our selves, Jer. 35. 13. 1 Joh. 3. 3.

;;Sanctification is so necessarily joyned unto Justification, as yet it is a grace diverse from the grace of Justification.

;;1. Justification is an absolution of a sinner from the guilt of sin and death; whereas Sanctification is an alteration of qualities from evil to good.

;;2. Justification consists in remision of sins and imputation of justice for the obedience of Christ; Sanctification is renovation of nature.

;;3. Justification is perfect in this life, so is not sanctification.

;;4. Justification, is in nature before sanctification, but not in order of time.

;;5. The perfect purity of Christs humane nature, reckoned unto beleevers by free imputation of faith, 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ is Made unto us sanctification. This is sanctification imputed.

;;6. The work of generall Illumination and Reformation. Heb. 10. 29. Wherewith he was sanctified. This is … Sanctification, common to Reprobation.

Spirit of Sancttification]

;;Both the work of killing our corrupt Nature, and raising it up to holinesse; and the authour of this work, to wit, the holy Spirit, 1 Pet. 1. 2.

God is said to sanctifie himself, when he will declare his glory and vindicate his honour from the blasphemies of the wicked, Numb. 20. 13. Ezek. 26. 23.

He sanctifieth himself in the Wicked by pouring his heavy judgements upon them for their sins, Lev. 10. 3. Isa. 5. 16. Ezek. 28. 22. And in the Elect, by restoring his worship unto them, Ezek. 20. 41. or by his gracious deliverances, Ezek. 28. 25. & 39. 27.

;; … to men]

;;To acknowledge holy. Mat. 6. 9. … be thy name, or hallowed; when we acknowledge something to be holy which before was so in it self, Lev. 10. 3. …. 5. 16.

;;3. To separate and set apart one to do the office of Mediator, and to endow him with sufficient author and gifts, Joh. 10. 36.

;;4.

;;5. To procure, offer, and give glory to the holy name of God, Numb. 20. 12. Deut. 32. 51.

;;6. To be acknowledged and worshiped as one most holy, Lev. 10. 3. & 22. 32.

;;7. To perfect holinesse begun, more and more renewing unto holinesse such as be already cleansed by the Spirit. Joh. 17. 17. Sanctifie them with thy truth.

;;To Sanctifie, four manner of wayes (for the most part) is used in Scripture.

;;1. To confesse and celebrate that to be holy, which in it self is first holy, Mat. 6. 9. and wheresoever God is said to be sanctified.

;;2. To make holy some persons, being impure before, 1 Pet. 1. 2. and wheresoever the elect is said to be sanctified.

;;3. To separate and elect some things or persons from a common use, unto an holy use; as the Tabernacle, Temple, Priests, Altars, Sacrifices, &c. under the Law of Moses.

;;4. To intend and apply a thing to divine and sacred works, or to keep an holy vacation and rest. In this and the former sense is the seventh day said to be sanctified, as Gen. 2. 3. Command. 4.

To sanctifie the Lord]

;;To worship and glorifie the holy God by filial fear and confidence in his promises, Isa. 8. 13.

;;Heb. 2. 11. Both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. By sanctifie here understand not onelyonly the renewing of our natures, but also our justification, chap. 9. 9. & 10. 10. Eph. 5. 26. by both which the Prince of our Salvation brings sons unto glory; or, Christs consecrating us unto his Father, Rev. 1. 6. both he and we being of one masse or lump, or of the same nature. It is conceived by some that this rule is taken from the manner of sanctifying under the Old Testament, under which the High Priest and those whom he sanctified were of one and the same nature; and so the firstlings and first fruits were of the same nature with the whole flock and crop which was sanctified in them. Annot. Heb. 10. 10. by the which will we are sanctified, that is, freed from the guilt of our sins and consecrated to Gods service. Annot.

II. He is an adversary to all good men, because of the image and way of God, in regard whereof we are of another Kingdom contrary unto his.

III. He is an adversary to all good things and actions; he watches to slay all good motions in the womb, that they shall no sooner be conceived then abortive; he is an adversary to each good action, either to hinder it (if he can) by hindering us from attempting good, or atchieving it, by hindering us from feeling the sweetnesse of godlinesse, so as having no pleasure in it, it may go on heavily, by making us soon weary; or if he cannot hinder to corrupt and deprave it, that if he cannot make it evill, yet he may make it seem so.

To give a man to Satan]

;;To give him over to be out of the Church in the Kingdome of Satan, and to be ruled by his spirit; and not to be possessed in their bodies by the devil, as Papists expound it, 1 Cor. 5. 5. As to be in the Church is to be governed by Christs Spirit.

To reconcile all things to himself, and peace made by that blood of his Crosse. Here is the truth of Christs satisfaction, though the Word be wanting.

Save]

God save the King, 1 Sam. 10. 24. Heb. let the King live, marg. Saving strength, …. 28. 8. Heb. strength … …, marg.

To save life]

;;To regard ones life more then Christ, so as he will not put his life in jeopardy for Christ. Luk. 9. 24. He … will save his life, shall lose it.

Of them … are saved]

Rev. 21. 24. Or, of them which are to be saved, as Act. 2. 47. The first way of reading respecteth the Church in heaven; the second, that on earth. Annot.

To be saved in …]

That it shall not hinder a woman salvation eternal, (for that in bearing of …, she feels temporal sorrow and … pain for a time: which may seem to be an argument … Gods anger) so she remain in the … faith, expressed by love, and an holy sober conversation. 1 Tim. 2. 15. She shall … saved in childevearing, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness, with modesty. Because Paul speaks not of one faithful woman alone, but of the whole kinde, and so many of that sex as are believers, therefore he useth the plural number [they] having begun in the singular, [shee] by a figure named Synthesis, as Turba ruunt. Pars in frusta ….

Are there sew that shall be saved? Luk. 13. 23. foreign is equivalent to the Heb. foreign, residuus, remnant, which therefore is rendred by it, Jer. 42. 17. & 44. 14. From this acception of the word for that … which should escape of the Jews, out of the common destruction and slaughter that fell upon that people, call'd foreign sometimes, sometimes foreign, Luk. 21. 36. They that have the honour or favour to escape; another acception there is of it, for those which should believe in Christ, receive and … him at his coming; and having done so, adhere and cleave fast unto him. So when Isa. 10. 22. it is prophesied that the remnant of Israel shall return; the Apostle Rom. 9. 27. applies this place (literally spoken of the return from the … captivity) by way of accommodation to their receiving the faith of Christ, a remnant shall escape out of that Epidemical unbelief, and receive Christ. So Luk. 19. 9, 10. 1 Cor. 7. 16. & Rom. 11. 14. And so here the foreign shall be those especially the Jews that believed in Christ, and adhered to him; according to the importance of that, Act. 11. 17. And then the clear meaning of this uncertain mans question will be this, Whether this doctrine or faith of Christ, so contrary to the humour and passions of the world, should be able to propagate it self, and prove so successeful as to be received by many, or whether it should be contained and inclosed within a narrow pale, that so he might either resist Christ with the many, or have the honour of being one of the few singular persons that received him. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.

He shall be saved, … so as by fire, 1 Cor. 3. 15. He shall escape as one escapes out of the fire; i. e. as one that, when in the midnight his house is set on fire, wakes and leaps out of the bed, and runs naked out of dores, taking nothing that is within along with him, taking care only that he may snatch his one body out of the flame; and it's a common observation, that to be saved as by fire, is a proverbial speech for those that get hardly out of a great danger, as a brand snatcht out of the fire, Amos 4. 11. and so Jude v. 23. Idem. Annot. b.

To be saved by …]

;;To be delivered from guilt and punishment of sin, both temporal and eternal, by the free gift of God, freely giving his Son to be our Saviour freely accounting his merits unto believers, and freely working faith, by which the promise of salvation is received and retained. Ephes. 2. 8. For by grace are ye saved.

;;Note here, that to be saved by Grace, by Christ, by Faith, are well coherent together: also to be saved by the Gospel, by Preaching; for the former declare soveraign and main, and these are the instrumental means, and subordinate causes of salvation: but to be saved by our works, or of our selves, is so contrary to Grace, Christ, Faith, as to joyn them together in causes of our salvation, is most absurd.

;;Note further, that to be saved by Grace, and by Faith, do imply two things.

;;1. That we do embrace Christ unto salvation, cometh not from our selves, or by our working; but by believing, which we have of Gods free gift.

;;2. Such as once embrace Christ by faith, are thereby fully justified in him; therefore have gotten full right unto the heavenly inheritance, although as yet they want the full possession. The end of Gods counsel in this free salvation of the elect, is to strip them wholly of all matter of … and glorying in themselvs, that the whole praise and honour might remain intire to himself alone, Eph. 2. 9. Therefore Popish Sophisters, which say that no works are excluded from Justification, but either Ceremonial or Civil, such as be done before faith; and do in part attribute salvation unto the merits of works done after grace, shew themselves ignorantly inconsiderate, and … of vain-glory; enemies also unto Gods grace and glory, and far from being the true Catholick Church: denying such a fundamental Catholick Doctrine, as free salvation, by the alone merit of Jesus Christ, through Faith, without our own works done, either before or after Grace.

;;To the understanding of this question, Whether we be saved by Grace? the answer must be affirmative: but we must first consider two sorts of matters from which we are saved by Christ.;;

;;1. Malum culpae, or sin.;;

;;2. Malum …, or misery.;;

;;Secondly, we must consider two sorts of grace, according to those matters.;;

;;1. Of regeneration, Mat. 21. 2 Tim. 1. 9. Tit. 3. 5.;;

;;2. Of Remission, or Justification, Act. 4. 12.;;

;;To be saved by Works, how far to be denyed, and how far granted. See Works, and Justice, Grace, Freely.;;

;;We are saved by Grace, as many as be saved at all: because,;;

;;1. The outward means are freely ours, and given us, Ephes. 4. 8, &c. Rom. 10. 15.;;

;;2. The inward motions of godliness, and outward work thereof, is freely wrought for us and in us by the Spirit of God, Rom. 12. 3. Eph. 2. 10. & 4. 7. Phil. 2. 13. 2 Pet. 1. 3, 4. Tit. 2. 11, 12.;;

;;3. The price of our Redemption was freely bestowed on us, Joh. 3. 16. 1 Pet. 1. 18, 19.;;

;;4. The Kingdom of heaven is freely prepared and fitted for us, Joh. 14. 2.;;

;;But yet not so saved freely, or by grace, but that,;;

;;1. Being called and spoken to, we must hear.;;

;;2. Hearing we must come.;;

;;3. Being come, we must work both against all fins, and the causes of them, and also do many great and hard duties.;;

;;4. And suffer much evill for his sake that suffered for us.;;

Saving is also the same with except, otherwise then. Neh. 4. 23. Eccl. 5. 11. Amos 9. 8. Mat. 5. 32. Luk. 4. 27. Rev. 2. 17.

Saviour]

;;A person, which both by merit and efficacy maketh and keepeth us safe from spiritual enemies. Luk. 2. 11. To you is borne a Saviour. Such is Christ only, a Saviour from sin, hell, and destruction, by such things as he suffered and did in his own person, not by works of grace in us, as Papists teach.

p. 557;;A Saviour is he, which not only hath perfectly deserved salvation by his blood-shed, and given it effectually, by shedding his holy Spirit into the hearts of the Elect; but doth also for time to come, constantly maintain, and for ever continue and preserve it, as the naturall head doth distill and derive untill death, sense, motion, and life into the naturall body. A Saviour by merit, and a Saviour by efficacy, is Jesus Christ, hence called an eternal Redeemer, Heb. 9. 12. and Author of everlasting life, or eternall salvation, Heb. 5. 9.

;;This title is attributed to God the Father:

;;1 Because he hath sent his son for our salvatition.

;;2. And by him hath reconciled the Elect unto himself.

;;3. And giveth the holy Ghost into the hearts of his children.

;;2. One which by his proper power maketh safe from outward evils and enemies. 1 Tim. 4. 10. God the Saviour of all men. But the faithfull he preserveth from all evils, both now and for ever.

;;3. Captains and Governours, which are called [Saviours] because they are Gods instruments to save from outward dangers. Judg. 3. 9. God raised up a Saviour to the Children of Israel. Others are said to do that which it pleaseth God to do by them.

;;4. Ministers of the Word, which are instruments of eternall salvation, by calling men unto it. 1 Tim. 4. 16. So shalt thou save thy self and others. Thus, that is attributed to the instrument which is proper to the principall Agent, Obad. 21.

3. By Provision; for the Church and every member thereof is furnished by him, who is the head.

4. Direction, by his Word and Spirit leading her through this Wildernesse. Baine on Eph. p. 642.

Saviour]

Act. 5. 31. One that leads and rules them, manages their Military affairs, to the avenging them of their enemies, and preserving them safe and quiet. Such an one was Christ to be unto the people of God, and was sent to be such particularly to the Jews, but this not in that manner that they expected, but (as his Kingdom was not of this world) in a spirituall manner, to go in and out before them, against their spirituall enemies, Satan and Sin. To which end it was, that after his exaltation and instalment to his Regall Office, the first thing was his sending of his Spirit, thereby giving them (as here it follows) place of repentance, if upon the preaching of the Apostles, they will come in, and believe on him. In this sense is it that Heb. 2. 10. Christ is call'd the Captain of salvation, or deliverance; i. e. a Captain designed on purpose to save or deliver them, to lead them (as it's there) through sufferings to blisse, through the Wildernesse, and the Land of the Anakims, to Canaan, as Moses and Joshua, the Captains and the Saviours of the Jews did. Dr. Hamm. Annot. e.

He is delivered into David's hands, Ib. 24. 2. & 26. 2. Seeketh counsell at a Witch, Ib. 28. 3. Slayeth himself, Ib. 31. 4. His head is carryed into the Land of the Phylistines, Ib. v. 9.

Savour]

;;The sweet sense and feeling of Christ his love and benefits, being more excellent and delightfull, then the most savoury Oyntments, Cant. 1. 3. Because of the savour of thy good Oyntments, &c. Or, for thy odour or smell, which is expounded of the good savour of the knowledge of Christ, 2 Cor. 2. 14. whatsoever may lead us to him, for vertue goes like a sweet smell or savour out of Christ to heal all men, as it did, Luk. 6. 19. And the breath of his Ministers that are inspired by him, conveys it. Annot.

Savour of rest]

;;An acceptable Sacrifice, appeasing Gods anger. Gen. 8. 21. And the Lord smelled a savour of rest.

Thou savourest not the things that be of God, Matt. 16. 23. The words are by B. Hall thus paraphrased, These motions of thine argue a minde that is fleshly and sensuall, and not holy and rightly informed in, and disposed to the things of God, who by my sufferings and death hath graciously purposed the redemption of Mankinde. By Dr. Hamm. thus, Thou movest me to that which were a sin, if I should yield to it, and contrary to the will, course, and commandement of God my Father. Thou mindest not, judgest not aright, perceivest not, art not well advised, understandest not. See Leigh. Cr. Sac. in foreign.
