207. GOD'S PRESENCE. God's present everywhere, but most of all Present by union hypostatical: God, He is there, where's nothing else, schools say, And nothing else is there where He's away. _Hypostatical_, personal. 208. THE RESURRECTION POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE. For each one body that i' th' earth is sown, There's an uprising but of one for one; But for each grain that in the ground is thrown, Threescore or fourscore spring up thence for one: So that the wonder is not half so great Of ours as is the rising of the wheat. 209. CHRIST'S SUFFERING. Justly our dearest Saviour may abhor us, Who hath more suffered by us far, than for us. 210. SINNERS. Sinners confounded are a twofold way, Either as when, the learned schoolmen say, Men's sins destroyed are when they repent, Or when, for sins, men suffer punishment. 211. TEMPTATIONS. No man is tempted so but may o'ercome, If that he has a will to masterdom. 212. PITY AND PUNISHMENT. God doth embrace the good with love; and gains The good by mercy, as the bad by pains. 213. GOD'S PRICE AND MAN'S PRICE. God bought man here with His heart's blood expense; And man sold God here for base thirty pence. 214. CHRIST'S ACTION. Christ never did so great a work but there His human nature did in part appear; Or ne'er so mean a piece but men might see Therein some beams of His Divinity: So that in all He did there did combine His human nature and His part divine. 215. PREDESTINATION. Predestination is the cause alone Of many standing, but of fall to none. 216. ANOTHER. Art thou not destin'd? then with haste go on To make thy fair predestination: If thou can'st change thy life, God then will please To change, or call back, His past sentences. 217. SIN. Sin never slew a soul unless there went Along with it some tempting blandishment. 218. ANOTHER. Sin is an act so free, that if we shall Say 'tis not free, 'tis then no sin at all. 219. ANOTHER. Sin is the cause of death; and sin's alone The cause of God's predestination: And from God's prescience of man's sin doth flow Our destination to eternal woe. 220. PRESCIENCE. God's prescience makes none sinful; but th' offence Of man's the chief cause of God's prescience. 221. CHRIST. To all our wounds here, whatsoe'er they be, Christ is the one sufficient remedy. 222. CHRIST'S INCARNATION. Christ took our nature on Him, not that He 'Bove all things loved it for the purity: No, but He dress'd Him with our human trim, Because our flesh stood most in need of Him. 223. HEAVEN. Heaven is not given for our good works here; Yet it is given to the labourer. 224. GOD'S KEYS
