I. The case of the inheritance of Daughters propounded Sect. 1. BEcause this case of the Daughters of Zelophehad is extraordinary and not obuious in the Scriptures besides in any the like example it will not be amisse lying in the forefront of the Chapter bordering vpon that of Moses his warning to dye since it concernes a subiect not vsuall the title of the Womans Inheritance to touch it in some perticulars and the rather because it was the last case that Moses adiudged immediately before that the Lord himselfe sentenced and adiudged him to dye In which though there be many things worthy our exact dilating and vrging both pleasing and profitable as would appeare in the opening and applying of this Scripture yet I choose rather from the warrant and writings of an excellent Light in our Church according to his Method to commend vnto you these Notes and Obseruations Note 1 Here then first note how carefull these Daughters are of a place among the people of God in the Earthly Canaan which was a type of the Heauenly Ought not all wee to be as carefull for that Heauenly yes and more carefull so no doubt are Gods Children when their eyes be opened and by name Women for although many are busied about attyres and vaine shewes to make them pleasing vnto men yet others doe seeke by all meanes for that eternall rest and how to be pleasing vnto God which is the onely good and perfect way Fauour is deceitfull and beautie is vanitie but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised Prou. 3.30 Sect. 2. How cases are wisely to be carried before the Magistrate Note 2 OBserue how these Daughters goe not vp and downe from Tent to Tent from one to another tatling and pratling murmuring and complaining but directly they goe to the Magistrate and there exhibite their desire waiting for reliefe and order from him so should all men doe not marring a good cause with ill handling Being come to him see how modestly and womanly they propound their matter without any vnfitting words of choler or anger or any vnseemely behauiour any way see againe how vvisely they preuent an obiection that might haue beene made of their Father that happily he was one of those Rebels that tooke part with Corah Dathan and Abiram and so perished No say they our Father dyed in the Wildernesse and he was not among the assembly of them that were assembled against the Lord in the Companie of Corah but dyed in his sinne that is as all sinners must for death is the reward of sinne c. Where you may see what a comfort what a credit and glory honest Parents be to their Children they leaue a good name behinde them which makes their children bold to speak of them when others must hang their heads and blush eyther to mention them themselues or to heare them spoken of by others A great motiue to all Parents euen for this cause to be carefull of their carriage Sect. 3. The true rule of iudging cases Consultation with God FOr the iudgement and resolution of this request it is said in the 5. vers Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord. And the Lord spake vnto Moses saying The daughters of Zelophehad speake right c. Before you see that the cause was brought before Moses and Eliazer and all the Princes such a coniunction there was of the ciuill Magistrates and Ecclesiasticall Ministers together in hearing of causes which continueth euer since as appeareth in good records of Antiquitie But neyther Moses nor Aaron spake till they had receiued resolution from God and vnderstood his will Note 3 In like manner should it be still with all Iudges first to know and vnderstand and then to iudge wherein the Lord still is ayding and directing although not by speaking as to Moses yet by his Spirit of wisedome and vnderstanding of counsell and knowledge men vsing the meanes as they ought of learning and prayer Be wise ye Kings and be learned yee that are Iudges of the earth For Prayer if any lacke wisedome let him aske it of God as Salomon did which giueth to all men liberally and reprocheth no man and it shall be giuen him c. Note 4 Another vse againe men may well make here euen a caueat for Plaintiffes and Defendants to haue but such causes as if they be brought before GOD may be approued as this was of the Daughters of Zelophehad but alacke should the most of our suites and controuersies in these dayes be brought to this touch and tryall how impious how hatefull how vile would they appeare The all-holy God is offended with our braules much more with our wicked paines costs and charges to effect the madnesse and malice of our Hell-heated harts in bringing to passe our diuellish designes and pestilent plots against our Brethren that I may say nothing of them that pleade them to the vttermost of their wit and cunning daubing them ouer with humane Eloquence and painting them out with filed and flowing words against their owne consciences and that knowledge which they haue both in the Lawes of God and man Is it not a grieuous fault to iustifie a wicked man or to condemne an Innocent man and is it not so in causes Doth God pronounce a woe against the one and is hee not wroth with the other Well for this cause if it were nothing else there must needes be a generall Iudgement that those things may be pleaded and iudged before the Lord which are wrongfully pleaded and adiudged here Well God giue eyes and feeling I say no more Sect. 4. The case adiudged and spiritually applyed GOds answere you see now following first perticular in regard of these women The Daughters of Zelophe had spake right thou shalt giue them a possession to inherit amongst their Fathers Brethren and shalt turne the inheritance of their Father vnto them Then generally for a Law to others If any man dye and haue no Sonne then yee shall turne his inheritance vnto his Daughter and if bee haue no Daughter yee shall giue his Inheritance vnto his Brethren and if hee haue no Brethren yee shall giue his Inheritance vnto his Fathers Brethren And if his Father haue no Brethren yee shall giue
