those that hold Moses place I demand then what place did Moses hold Sure it is that Aaron was now the high Priest anointed and fully inuested in all the rights of it euer since the 8. Chapter of the last Booke Moses had in him now no other Right but that of the chiefe Magistrate Therefore as in that Right and no other he receiued and held them So he was made Custos vtriusque Tabulae So he is made Custos vtriusque Tubae But who can tell vs better then he himselfe in what right he held them He doth it in the 5. verse of Deut. 33. reade it which way you wil Erat in Iishrune Rex or in rectissimo Rex or in rectitudine Rex or in Recto Regis dum congregaret Principes populi Tribus Israel al come to this that though in strict proprietie of Speech Moses were no King yet in this he was in rectitudine Rex or in Recto Regis that is in this had as we say Ius Regale that he might and did assemble the Tribes and chiefe men of the Tribes at his pleasure Herein hee was Rex in Rectitudine For this was Rectitudo Regis A Power Regall And so it was holden in Egypt before Moses euen in the Law of Nature that without Pharao Gen. 41.44 no man might lift vp hand or foote in all the land of Egypt suppose to no publike or principall motion and so hath it bin holden in all Nations as a speciall Power belonging to Dominion Which maketh it seeme strange that those men which in no cause are so feruent as when they pleade that Churchmen should not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is haue Dominion doe yet hold this Power which hath euer beene reputed most proper to Dominion should belong to none but to them only Our Sauiour Christs vos autem non sic Mat. 20.26 may I am sure be sayd to thē here in a truer sense then as they commonly vse to apply it To conclude then this poynt The chiefe Magistrate to succeed in it If Moses as in the Right of chiefe Magistrate held this Power it was from him to descend to the chiefe Magistrates after him ouer the people of God and they to succeed him as in his place so in this right it being by God himselfe settled in Moses and annexed to his place lege perpetuâ by an estate indefeizible by a perpetuall Law throughout all their generations Therfore euer after by Gods expresse order from yeere to yeere euery yeere on the first day of the seuenth moneth were they blowen by Moses first and after by them that held his place the feast of the trumpets solemnely holden as to put them in mind of the benefite thereby comming to them so withall to keepe aliue and fresh still in the knowledge of all That this Power belonged to their place that so none might euer be ignorant to whom it did of right appertaine to call Assemblies And how then shall Aarons Assemblies be called Aarons Assemblies how called with what Trumpet they God himselfe hath prouided for that in the tenth verse following that with no other then these There is in all the Law no order for calling an Assembly to what end or for what cause soeuer but this and onely this No order for making any third Trumpet vnder these two therfore all are comprised Verse 10. This order there God taketh that Moses shall permit Aarons sonnes to haue the vse of these trumpets But the vse not the property They must take them from Moses Num. 31.6 as in the 31. Chap. of this booke Phinees doeth But Erunt tibi Gods owne words Erunt tibi must still be remembred His they be for all that Moses the owner still the right remaynes in him Their sounding of them depriues not him of his interest alters not the property Erunt tibi must still be true that right must still bee preserued It may be if we communicate with flesh and blood we may thinke it more conuenient as some doe that God had deliuered Moses and Aaron either of them one But when wee see Gods will by Gods word what it is that Moses is to haue them both we will let that passe as a Reuelation of flesh and blood and thinke that which God thinketh to be most conuenient Now then if the Trumpets belong to Moses and that to this ende 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that with them hee may call the congregation The two duties These two things do follow First that if he call the congregatiō must not refuse to come Secondly that vnlesse he call they must not assemble of their owne heades but keepe their places Briefly thus the congregation must come when it is called and it must be called yer it come These are the two dueties wee owe to the two Trumpets and both these haue Gods people euer duely performed And yet not so but that this Right hath bin called in question yea euen in Moses owne time that we marueile not if it be so now and both these dueties denied him euen by those who were aliue and present then when God gaue him the Trumpets But marke by whom and what became of them The first duety is To come when they be called To come when they be called and this was denied in the 16. Chap. following 12 verse by Core Dathan and their crewe Moses sounded his trumpet sent to call them they answere flatly and that not once but once and againe Non veniemus They would not come not once stirre for him or his Trumpet they A plaine contradiction indeed neither is there in all that Chapter any contradiction verinominis true and properly so to be called but onely that You know what became of them they went quick to hell for it and wo be to them euen vnder the Gospell saith S. Iude that perish in the same cōtradiction Iude 11. the contradiction of Core The second duety is 2 2. To be called yer they come To be called yer they come this likewise denied euen Moses himselfe that they in his place may not think strange of it In the 20. Chapter of this very booke Water waxing skant a company of them grewe mutinous and in tumultuous maner without any sound of the trumpet assembled of them selues But these are branded too The water they got is called the water of Meriba And what followed you know Cap. 20.13 None of them that drunke of it came into the land of Promise God swore they should not enter into his rest Nowe as both these are bad so of the twaine this later is the worse Called and came not The former that come not being called doe but sit still as if they were somewhat thicke of hearing But these later that come being not called Came vncalled either they make themselues a trumpet without euer a fac tibi or els they offer to wring Moses Trumpet out of
