Sermons preached

1. In public Troubles and Difficulties. We are amazed and perplexed many times at the Events that fall out in the World, and know not whereunto these things will grow. Yet this is some Comfort and Support to all that are concerned in Zion's Affairs, that Christ is alive at his Fathers right-Hand, and will pursue all things that make for the Glory of God, and the Advancement of his own Kingdom. I say, the Glory of God, Rom. 6. 10. In that he liveth, he liveth unto God. His own Kingdom. Psal. 110. 1. Sit thou at my right Hand, till I make thine Enemies thy Footstool. He is at the right-hand of God, and there shall abide, till he return to judge the World. In the mean time he hath the Inspection of all Affairs, All Judgment is put into his Hands, Joh. 5. 22. Things are not left to the Will of Man, nor to their own Contingency, but are guided and ordered by him with good Advice. However Matters go, Christ is Governor, who is not, cannot be deposed from his Regal Office, nor jostled out of the Throne. As Luther said, upon some Loss that befell the Friends of the Gospel, Etiamnum vivit & regnat Christus. When the Floods lifted up their Voice, and all things seemed to threaten Ruin, and to over-whelm; then follows, The Lord reigneth. The Lord on high is mightier than the Noise of many Waters, Psal. 93. 1, 4. It is spoken of the Kingdom of Christ, for the advancing and preserving of which ⟨p. 222⟩he gives forth signal Testimonies of his Regal Power.
