〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉: OR THE Virtue, Vigour, and Efficacy OF THE PROMISES Displayed in their Strength & Glory. Duly methodised, and fitly applied to every Christians particular Case and Condition. IN A Soliloquy, wholly Scriptural, Between the SOUL and the COMFORTER. WITH A Divine Rapture of the SOUL, Now resting satisfied by the Spirit of the HOLY PROMISE. BY THO. HENDERSON. Fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not ais●ayed, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness, Isa. 41. vers. 10. London, Printed for Dor. Newman, at the Surgeons Arms in Little Britain, 1669. To the Christian READER. NO sooner doth poor Man come out of the Womb, but he launcheth forth into an Ocean of Miseries and Woes; where he is tossed with Waves, distracted with Terrors, and encompassed with continual Evils, that follow him unseparably, as the shadow follows the Body, and never leave him, till he get beyond the bounds of Time, and enter those Interminable Mansions of Eternity; Neither is it any wonder for those who are born Soldiers, to meet with Conflicts; for Travellers to meet with hard Usage; for Seamen to meet with Storms; for Strangers in a strange Country, to meet with strange Entertainment: For such, indeed, are Christians, men of another World, and here from home, travelling to their Father's Kingdom, to that City of the Living God, the Celestial Jerusalem, to be associated with innumerable Angels, and the Assembly of the First born; and therefore should rejoice that they are predestinated unto a Conformity to Christ their Head, as in Grace and Glory, so in Abasement; and by that way of many Tribulations (which the Captain of their Salvation hath consecrated) to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Yet he that is the Life and Light of the world, (who loved us better than his own life, which he laid down for us, and made it his last suit to his Father and our Father, that we might be with him) to show us the way to himself, hath given us his Word for a Lamp, his Spirit for a Guide, and his precious PROMISES wherewith he hath bespangled the Holy Scriptures, to shine to us with their cheerful brightness, to lead us to these Azure Vaults, as being the only place of our repose. The Scriptures, indeed, are the power of God unto salvation, as full of Life, as the Sun is full of Light; and truly the Light is sweet (says Solomon) but as the Suns lose disshevelled Rays (when he maketh the Horizon to laugh, and paints the East with Vermilion, spreading the Morning upon the Mountains) are not so glorious, as when the King of Planets himself comes forth out of his Chamber like a Bridegroom clothed with Majesty, and culminates to the height of the Heavens in the Radiancy of his Splendour, possessing all his far extended Rays, condensed, and concentrated in himself, even so may the Promises, as a glistering Light, thinly dispensed through the Scriptures, be less conspicuous, possibly, and efficacious, than when they are assembled, united, and marshaled, in such Strength, Method, and Order, as to be rendered more Splendid, Illustrious, and Useful in all Exegencies; which I have weakly essayed to do in this Manual, not without some hope, that it may prove a Sovereign Remedy against all despondency of Spirit through unbelief, effectual by the grace of God to heal all spiritual Maladies, and to compose all Distempers; for here you may behold with one view, as it were, the Stars of the first Magnitude, that are sown througout the Scriptures, and a Constellation of all the PROMISES, sending forth their most pure, and active Influences upon the Prisoners in the Pit, labouring under a Spirit of Infidelity, and with Impatience and Trepidation waiting for the coming of the PROMISE, and the Harvest of Joy, after their Seedtime of Sorrow. Whatsoever be the Lot of a Christian in the Valley of Tears, whether he pass through the Land of the Living, in the fair Sunshine of Prosperity; or in the black Shadows, and Night of Adversity; yet shall he be still assaulted by Temptations, either upon the Right Hand, or upon the Left, in either of which Cases this ENCHERIDION, like Jacob's Staff may support him, this shining Torch may serve him as a Cynosure to direct his Course amongst the Shelves, the Rocks, and the devouring Gulfs in the way, that he be not led unto the Chambers of Hell, and by departing from the Living God through unbelief, fall into the Pit of Perdition. In all or most of their Write, especially amongst the vanity of the Nations, it may be said in some sort, that Materiam superat opus, the form of the Piece, and the Art excels the Subject; but in this little Repertory of the Sacred Promises it is quite contrary; for here is nothing but Gold, and a multitude of Rubies, Roses of Diamonds, more precious than the Philosopher's Stone; and if they be not so fitly Set, and Enameled in so goodly a Dress, as well becomes them; Let this Little Essay (the first, I suppose, of any that has ever yet appeared of this kind) excite others, who are blessed and beautified with more of the Spirit of God, in Wisdom, and Understanding, and in Knowledge to devise cunning Works, and to work in Gold & Silver, Ex. 31.3, 4 To improve their best endeavours and skill, to fet forth the Riches of Gods free Grace, in the fullness and sweetness of the Promises, to the benefit and comfort of the Heirs of Salvation. And yet I doubt not but whosoever would receive the Truth, and not despise the Consolations of the Almighty, shall find this little Sanctuary of the Promises, (even as they are here managed against all Objections, that may occur) to be a Shield, which all the Fiery Darts of the Devil, cannot pierce; no Weapon that is form against it shall prosper. Here (in short) thou mayest see mustered, the Armies of that Roaring Lion, displaying a Banner against the Heavens, who (as he was a Liar from the beginning, and envying the felicity of man, adopted to that Eternal Glory, which he had forfeited) doth still make it his work to scandalise God to Man, and Man to God, and Man to Himself, thereby to disturb the whole Creation; and (if it were possible) to disappoint the holy purpose of God, towards the Vessels of Mercy, and to render them Complices of his guiltiness, and Companions of his everlasting Torments. On the other hand thou shalt see the Impotent Forces of that Grand Impostor encountered by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (who is stronger than the strongest, and prevaileth always when he contendeth) and vanquished by Him, who abolished Death, and brought Life and Immortality, to light through the Gospel. If there be any who through worldly Diversions, or other Indispositions, cannot travel through the more spacious Garden of the Holy Scriptures, to gather such Medicaments as they would choose for refreshing their Souls, they may without any trouble enter into this pleasant Paradise, and delightful Grove, where they shall find rich Beds of all the Flowers, the choicest, the sweetest that can be there afforded, all springing from the Root of Jesse, and that Honourable Plant of Renown, which perfumes the heavens and the earth; Here they may have the great consolations of the Scriptures distilled in an Elixir, which by the discretion of a Spiritual taste, they shall find as the spiced Wine, and juice of Pomegranates, mighty to strengthen the Heart when it faints, the Faith when it fails, and the Spirit when it is overwhelmed within them: A true Catholicon and Panacea for reviving the Soul in all Deliquys, and maintaining it in a good plight continually: A Posy of more delightful and sal; utiferous Flowers, than any that ever grew in the Garden of Eden: A rare and rich Jewel of inestimable value, though of small price, and therefore as easy as necessary to be carried about by all those who pretend to Christianity and Immortality. THO. HENDERSON. A SOLILOQUY (Wholly Scriptural) Betwixt the afflicted SOUL and the COMFORTER; wherein all, or most of the Objections and Complaints dispersed through the Scriptures, are answered and redressed by other Consolatory and establishing Scriptures.

For in his Name (through whom God was reconciling the world to himself, 2 Cor. 5.19. Thou hast Remission of sins, Act. 10.43. Yea, thou hast received abundance of Grace, and of the gift of Righteousness unto Eternal Life, through Jesus Christ, Rom. 5.15, 16, 17. hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is plenteous Redemption, Psal. 130.7.

Is it good to thee that thou shouldst oppress? Job 10.3. Wilt thou destroy the works of thine own hands? Job 10.3. Psal. 138.8. and Isa. 43.1. and despise Lam. 2.6. the price of thy Son's blood?

Why hast thou suffered me to err from, etc. Though darkness encompass his Throne, Psal. 18.9, 11. and he gives no account of any of his matters, Job 33.12. Yet all the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, Psal. 25.10. He is only wise, I Tim. 1.17. There is no searching of his understanding, Isa. 40.28. and his love passeth all knowledge, Eph. 3.19.

But he will give thee a new heart, and write his fear up on it, that thou mayst not be able to departed from him, Take thine Holy Spirit from me, etc. Isa. 32.40.

He giveth strength to him that fainteth, and to him that hath no strength he increaseth power, Isa. 40.29. He will not forget thee, Isa. 49.15, 19 The needy shall not always be forsaken: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever, Psal. 9.18. Will he destroy? No: He loveth the works of his own hand, Wilty thou destroy job 14.15. Though he cause grief, yet will he show compassion, according to the multitude of his mercies, Lam. 3.32. He is the Sovereign preserver of mankind, delights not in the destruction of sinners, job 7.20. Psal. 36.6. and 33.11. 2 Pet. 3.9. for mercy pleaseth him, Mich. 7.18. and precious in his sight is the death of his Saints, Psal. 16.15. The Soul. O but I am at my wit's end, Psal. 107.27. I know not what to do, 2 Chr. 20.12. All refuge fails me, there is none at the right hand to help me, nor at the left hand to care for my Soul, Psal. 142.4.

Will fill thee with all joy and peace in believing, that thou mayst abcund in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost, Rom. 15.13. Let Christ who is the hope of all the ends of the Earth, Psal. 65.5. Be in the hope of glory, Col. 1.27. Wherhfore gird up the loins of thy mind, and hope unto the end, 1 Pet. 1.13. And let not the consolations of God be small with thee, Refuseth to be comforted job. 15.11. For the God of all consolation, 2 Cor. 1.3, 4, 5. who comforteth all that are cast down, 2 Cor. 7.6. who sent his Son: to (revive, Isa. 57.15.) And bind up the broken hearted, to give unto them that mourn Beauty for Ashes, the Oil of Joy for Mourning, the garment of praise, for the spirit of heaviness, Isa. 61.1, and 3. Bids thee arise and shine, and put or brightness and glory, for the Lord shall be a light unto thee in darkness, Isa. 60.2. As one, whom his mother comforteth, so will he comfort all that mourn, Isa. 66.13. Why should thy Soul then be disquieted? for the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort, 2 Cor. 1.3. speaketh comfortably unto thee, Isa. 40. Hos. 2.14. Isa. 40.1. He will comfort Zion and her Mourners, Isa. 51.3. and 61.2. The Lord thy God will have thee to serve him with joyfulness and gladness of heart, Deut. 28.47. and always to rejoice in him, Phil. 4.4. Isa. 41.16. For there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his affairs, because that is his portion, Eccles. 3.12.22. &c 5.17. & 2.24. The Soul. He has shown himself so marvellous upon me, job. 5.9. that astonishment has taken me, jer. 8.21. My soul is sore xexed, Psal. 6.8. and my heart sore pained within me, Psal. 55.4, 5.

Woe is me, because wrath is gone forth against me, Ruth 1.13. The Almighty has dealt bitterly with me, Ibidem, 20. The joy of my heart is ceased, Lam. 5.15. The Comforter. Though his ways be in the dark, Psal. 18.9, 11. and 97.2. which for the present may seem marvellous in thine eyes, Shown himself marvellous. Psal. 118.23. yet in the end shall they bring forth an excellent and eternal weight of glory, 2 Cor. 4.17. For he is only wise, Rom. 16.27. and his love pasleth all knowledge, Eph. 3.19. If sorrow therefore has filled thy heart for a season, My Soul, etc. 1 Pet. 16. yet let not thy heart be troubled, My heart sore pined, etc. neither fear, Isa. 53.4. and 4.10. and 43.5. jer. 46.27, 28. for thy heart shall live for ever, Psal. 22.26. And rejoice in the Lord, Zeeh. je. 7. Go to the Saviour of the World, the Prince of Life, Act. 3.15. and 5.31. and he will give thee ease to thy soul, Mat. 11.28. He will rejoice over thee, Isa. 62.5. jer. 32.41. And thou shalt rejoice in his salvation, Psal. 9.14. and 13.5. and 20.5. and 35.9. Why is thy soul cast down, and why is it disquieted within thee? Psal. 42.5. and 43.5. For he, even he it is that comforts thee, that upholds and confirms thee by the right hand of his righteousness, Isa. 41.10. Let not thy heart be trouble, Fearfulness and trambling. joh. 14.27. Luk 12.32. Fear not, for thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel is with thee; be not afraid; for he is thy God, Isa. 41.10, 14. Isa. 54.4. and 44.2, 8. and 43.1, 5. jer. 30.10. Though his wrath lying hard upon thee. Psal. 88.7. should press thee sore, Psal. 38.2. and cast thee down, Psal. 42.6. yet when thou fallest, thou shalt rife again, Psal. 37.24. and 102.10. And through his wrath thou be'st now troubled, Psal. 90.7. And his fierce wrath burning like fire, Woe is me because wrath is gone, etc. Psal. 89.46. goeth over thee, Psal. 88.16. yet in wrath will he remember mercy, Hab. 3.2. and take away all his wrath, Psal. 85.3. and turn himself from the fierceness of his anger, Ibid. For when Tribulations have abounded, Consolations shall abound much more, 2 Cor. 15. He will deal with thee bountifully according to his mercy, Psal. 119.17. and 124. Psal. 142.7. Psal. 13.6. Psal. 116.6. And not according to thy corrupt ways and wicked do, Ez. 20.44. Psal. 103.10. for though he has visited thy transgressions with the rod, and thy iniquities with stripes, nevertheless his loving kindness will he not utterly take from thee, nor suffer his faithfulness to fail, Psal. 89.32, 33, 34. He will not give thee over unto death, Psal. 118.18. But assuredly show thee greater and mightier things, than thou art able to speak, or think, jer. 33.3. Let his rod comfort thee, Dealt bitterly with me. Psal. 23.4. and it shall show thee the secrets of wisdom, job 11.6. And the paths of life, Psal. 16.11. For the Statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, Psal. 19.8. Though thou art in heaviness for a season, through manifold temptations, 1 Pet. 1.6. yet will he make thee to drink of the rivers of his pleasures; for with him is the fountain of life, and in his light shalt thou see light, The joy of my heart is ceased. Psal. 36.8, 9 Then shalt thou know the joyful sound, and walk in the light of his countenance. In his name shalt thou walk all the day, and in his righteousness shalt thou be exalted, Psal. 89.15, 16. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, Psal. 64.10. Let them rejoice before God, yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. Psal. 68.3. and draw waters with joy out of the Wells of Consolation, Isa. 12.3. and Isa. 66. from the 10. to the 16. Thou shalt obtain everlasting joy, Isa. 35.10. and 51. ●1. and 61.7. which none taketh from thee, joh. 16.22. And sorrow and sighing shall fly away, Isa. 35.10. Then shall thy joy be fulfilled, and remain in thee, joh. 15.11. For the kingdom of God doth flourish in righteousness and peace, with abundance of joy in the Holy Ghost, Rom. 14.17. The Soul. I am pressed out of measure above strength, 2 Cor. 1.8. And see no way to esape, Isa. 20.6. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? Psal. 13.1. How long wilt thou be angry? Psal. 79.5. and 85.5. and 80.4. How long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? Hab. 1.2. Why castest thou off my soul, and hidest thy face from me? Psal. 10.1. Psal. 44.24. Job 13.24. Psal. 89.46. and 88.14. Why are thou so far from helping me, and from the voice of my roaring? Psal. 22.1. The Comforter. O No: Faithful is he who will not suffer thee to be tempted above what thou art able to bear, Prested above strength. but with the temptation also make a way to escape, 1 Cor. 10.13. He he will correct in mercy and in Measure, No way to escape. jer. 10.24. and 30.11. When he afflicteth thee, he will teach thee the good old way, jer. 6.16. wherein thou shouldest walk, Psal. 143.8. For he leadeth the blind by a way that they know not, Isa. 42.16. He will show thee light, and the way wherein thou shouldest go, Ps. 32.8. Neb. 9.19. and lead thee forth by the right way, Ps. 104.7. and make strait in the desert an high way, Isa. 49.3. For all the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, Psa. 25.10.

Now let the Prince of this world, John 12.31. and 14.30. and 16.11. show me all the Kingdoms of the Earth, and give me all the power and glory thereof, Luke 4.5, 6. I count all things but dung and loss, compared with the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, Phil. 3, 4. and that love of his which passeth all knowledge, Eph. 3.19. And indeed, who would dwell in houses of clay? Job 4.19. that have eternal Mansions prepared for them in the Heavens, not made with hands? Joh. 14.2, 3. Heb. 11.10. who would choose rather to remain still in Mesech, and in the Tents of Kedar, Psal. 120.5. than to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of his Wings? Psal. 91.1. In a Babylon of Confusion, the Mother of Harlots, Rev. 17.5. appointed unto destruction, vers. 18.10, 22. rather than in that City of my God: The Heavenly, Heb. 12.22. the New, Rev. 3.12. and the Holy Jerusalem, Rev. 21.2, 10. which is the Mother of the beloved Ones, that are redeemed from the Earth?

With the Children of Belial, 2 Sam. 16.17. and 2 Chro. 13.7. and 2 Cor. 6.15. Rather than with the Angels, and Glorified Saints, which are without fault before the Throne of God, Rev. 14.5. Now depart from me, Psal. 6.8. All creature comforts, Eccl. 1.14, 17. and 9.9. and 3.18, 19 Too long have you bewitched me, with your Vanities and Delusions, Ps. 4.2. Wasting and Destruction are in your crooked paths, Isaia. 59.7. Whosoever walketh therein, shall find nothing but folly and madness, ibid. 8. Ec. 9.3. and 10.13. Your Vine is of the Vine of Sodom, and of the Fields of Gomorrah; Your Grapes are of Call, and of the Poison of Dragons; Your Clusters are bitter, and as the cruel venom of Asps, Deut. 32.32, 33. For I did take hold of folly, till I might see that goodness of the Children of Men, which they enjoy under the Sun, the whole number of the days of their life, Eccl. 2.3. And behold all is Vanity, and vexation of Spirit: There is no profit under the Sun, ibid. 11. For all the Days of Man are sorrow, and his Travel grief, ibid. 2.3. But exalted be the God of my Salvation, 2 Sam. 22.47. Ps. 18.46. In whom I will rejoice, Ha. 3.18. For he hath spread the Banner of his Love over me, Cant. 2.4. He hath anointed me with the Oil of gladness, Psal. 45.7. And fed me with Honey taken out of the carcase of the strong Lyon. Judg. 14.9. So that though the iniquities of my heels do compass me about, Ps. 49.5. And all the world should forsake me, Psal. 27.10. Yet being justified by Faith, Rom. 5.1.

Rom. 11.26. for his right hand, and his holy Arm hath gotten thee the Victory, Ps. 98.1.2. And because he hath made me an eternal excellency, Isa. 60, 15. I will therefore offer Sacrifices of immortal praises in the Temple of Eternity, Rev. 10.11, 12. Come unto me then, O Death, thou King of Terror, triumphing upon thy pale Horse, with Hell following after thee! Rev. 6.8. I now defy thy Impotent, 1 Cor. 15.54, 55, 56. and Tim. 1.10. I provoke thy welcome Dart, Ps. 55.6, and 1 Cor. 1.7. and 2. Pet. 3.12. for I am covered with the shield of Faith, 1 Thes. 5.8.

I have also received the Spirit of Adoption, Gal. 4.6. and the pardon of my sins, Luke 5.20. Acts 5.31. Ephes. 1.7. and 4.32. As the Watchman watcheth for the Morning, Psal. 130.6. and the Husbandman waiteth for the precious Fruit of the Earth, Jam. 5.7. so have I waited for thy coming, Job 14.14. so do I long to pass through thy silent Valleys, Phil. 1.21, 23. Psal. 55.6. Luke 2.29. that I may reap the Harvest of joy, Isa. 9.3. and 35.10. and 61.7. John 16.24.1 John 1.4. and 2 Joh. 12. Shall the souls under the Altar be still crying with a loud voice, How long, O Lord, Rev. 6.10. and the whole Creation travel in pain, to be delivered from the bondage of Corruption, into the glorious liberty of the Children of God? Rom. 8.21, 22. And shall not I, who have received the First-fruits of the Spirit, even groan within myself, waiting for the Adoption? ibid. 23. And for the appearance of Christ, who is my life? Col. 3.4. for I am sure that my Redeemer liveth; and though worms destroy this body, yet shall I see God in my flesh, whom I myself shall see, and mine eyes shall behold, and none other for me, Job 19.25, 26, 27. Then shall that word be fulfilled, 2 Thes. 1.11. and 1 Pet. 1.9. Death is swallowed up in Victory, O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinth. 15.55. Hosea 13.14.
