of expedition the Trumpets may need to be blown sometimes suddenly sooner then divers can well meet and agree upon it too Partly avoiding of distraction The two Trumpets may be blown two divers ways if they be in two hands and so shall the Trumpet give an uncertain sound 1 Cor. 14 8 and how shall the Congregation know whither to assemble Nay a worse matter yet then all that so may we have Assembly against Assembly and rather then so better no Assembly at all Therefore as God would have them both made of one piece so will be have them both made over to one person for Tibi implieth one Who is that one It is to Moses God speaketh to him is this Tibi directed Him doth God nominate and of his person make choice first to make these Trumpets no man to make no man to have the hammering of any Trumpet but he And there is no question but for Aaron and his sons the Priests they are to call the Levites to call the people together to their Assemblies How shall they warn them together unless they make a Trumpet too But if there be any question about this Gods proceeding here will put all out of question For to whom giveth he this charge Not to Aaron is this spoken but to Moses Aaron receiveth no charge to make any Trumpet never a fac tibi to him neither in this nor in any other place To Moses is this charge given And to Moses not Make thee one one for secular affairs that they would allow him but fac tibi duas Make thee two make both Well the makeing is not it One may make and another may have Sic vos non vobis You know the old Verse When they be made and done then who shall owe them It is expressed that too Et er●nt tibi They shall be for thee They shall be not one for thee and another for Aaron but Erunt tibi They shall be both for thee th●y sh●ll be both thine A third if they can find they may claim to that But both these are for Moses We have then the delivery of them to Moses to make which is a kind of Seisin or a Ceremony investing him with the right of them We have beside plain words to lead their possession and those words operative Erunt tibi That as none to make them so none to own them being made but Moses And what would we have more to shew us Cujus sunt tubae whose the Trumpets be or who●e is the right of calling Assemblies It is Moses certainly and he by vertue of these stands seised of it To go yet further But was not all this to Moses for his time only and as it begun in him so to take end with him Was it not one of the same privilegia personalia quae non trahuntur in exemplum A priviledg peculiar to him and so ●o precedent to be made of it No for if you look a little forward to the 8. verse following there you shall see that this power which God here conveyeth this Law of the Silver-trumpet is a Law to last for ever even throughout all their gene a●ions not that generation only And there is great reason it should be so that seeing the use should never cease the power likewise should never determine Being then not to determine but to continue it must descend to 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 invested in all the rights of it ever si●ce the eight Chapter of the last Book Moses had in him now no other right but that of the chie Magistrate Therefore as in that ●●ght and no other he received and held them So he was made Custos utriusque Tabulae So he was made Custos utriusque Tubae But who can tell us better then he himself in what right he held them He doth it in the third verse of Deut. 33. read it which way you will Frat in Jesh●une Rex or in rectissimo Rex or in rectitudine Rex or in recto Regis dum congregaret Principes populi Tribus Israel All come to this that though in strict propriety 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 jus Regale that he might and did assemble the Tribes and chief men of the Tribes at his pleasure Herein he was Rex in certitudine for this was rectitudo Regis a power Regal And so it was held in Egypt before Moses even in the Law of Nature that without Pharaoh no man might lift up hand or foot in all the Land of Egypt suppose to no publique or principal motion And so hath it been holden in all Nations as a special power belonging to dominion Which maketh it seem strange that those men which in no cause are so fervent as when they plead that Church-men should not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is have dominion do yet hold this power which hath ever been reputed most proper to dominion should belong to none but to them only Our Saviour Christs Vos autem non sic may I am sure be said to them here in a truer sense then as they commonly use to apply ●● To conclude then this point If Moses as in the right ●f chief Magistrate held this power it was from him to de●●end ●● the chief Magistrates after him over the people of God and they to succeed him as in his place so in this right it being by God himself setled in Moses and annexed to his place lege perpetuâ by an Estate indefeisible by a perpetual Law throughout all their generations Therefore ever after by Gods express order from year to year every year on the first day of the seventh moneth were they blown by Moses first and after by them that held his place and the ●east of the Trumpets solemnly holden as to put them in mind of the benefit thereby coming to them so withall to keep alive and fresh still in the knowledg of all that this power belonged to their place that so none might ever be ignorant to whom it did of right appertain to call Assemblies And how then shall Aarons Assemblies be called with what Trumpet they God himself hath provided 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 soever but this and only this no order for making any third Trumpet under these two therefore all are comprised This order there God taketh that Moses shall permit Aarons sons to have the use of these Trumpets but the use not the property They must take them from Moses as in the 31. Chapter of this Book Phineas doth But Erunt tibi Gods own words Erunt tibi must still be remembred His they be for all that
