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. Chap. 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 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 doeth 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 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 Ius regale that he might and did assemble the Tribes chiefe men of the Tribes at his pleasure Herein hee was Rex in rectitudine For this was rectitudo Regis A power Regal 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 foot in all the land of Egypt suppose to no publike or principall motion and so hath it bene 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 bene reputed most proper to Dominion should belong to none but to them onely Our Sauiour Christs Matt. 20.26 vos autem non sic may I am sure be said to them here in a truer sense then as they commonly vse to apply it The chiefe Magistrate to succeed in it To conclude then this point If Moses as in the right of chiefe Magistrate held this Power it was frō him to descend to the chiefe Magistrats 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 setled in Moses annexed to his place lege perpetuâ by an estate indefeizible by a perpetuall Law throughout all their generations Therefore 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 and the feast of the trumpets solemnely holden as to put them in minde of the benefite thereby comming to them so withall to keepe aliue fresh still in the knowledge of all That this power belonged to their place that so none might euer bee ignorant to whō it did of right appertaine to call Assēblies Aarons Assemblies how called And how then shall Aarons Assemblies be called with what trumpet they God himselfe hath prouided for that in the 10. ver following that with no other thē these There is in all the Law no order for calling an Assemblie to what end or for what cause soeuer but this and only this No order for making any third trumpet vnder these two therefore all are comprised This order there God taketh Verse 10. 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 as in the 31. Chap. Num. 31.6 of this Booke Phinees doth But Erunt tibi Gods owne words Erunt tibi must still bee remembred His they be for all that Moses the owner still the right remaines in him Their sounding of them depriues not him of his interest alters not the property Erunt tibi must still bee true that right must still be preserued It may bee if wee communicate with flesh and blood wee 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 doe follow First that if hee call the congregation must not refuse to come Secondly that vnlesse hee call they must not assemble of their owne heads but keepe their places Brieflie thus the congregation must come when it is called and it must be called yet 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 own 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 duty is To come when they be called and this was denied in the 16. Chap. following 12. ver by Core Dathan their crew 1. To come when they be called 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 veri nominis true and properly so to be called but only 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 contradiction Iude 11. the contradiction of Core The second duety is To bee called yer they come this likewise denied 2. To be called yer they come euen Moses himselfe that they in his place may not thinke strange of it In the 20. Chapter of this very booke Water waxing skant a company of them grew mutinous and in tumultuous maner without any sound of the Trumpet assembled of themselues 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 Now as both these are bad so of the twaine this later is the worse Called and came not The former that came not beeing called doe but sit still as if they were somewhat thicke of hearing But these later that come Came vncalled being not called either they make themselues a trumpet without euer a fac tibi or else they
