much upon you to Moses and Aaron Their colour was Independency they need no Governors but GOD. Their Words are Ver. 3. Seeing all the Congregation every one of them are Holy and the Lord is amongst them Wherefore then lift you up your selves against the Congregation of the Lord Moses sees further into them that Korah's aime was at a Presbytery or certain Priesthood which he as Superintendent would Marshall And therefore replyes Ver. 10. Seeke you without being called of GOD as was Aaron the Priests Office also And Ver. 9. Seemeth it a small thing to you that the GOD of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel to take you to himselfe to doe the service of the Tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the Congregation to minister unto them He hath also taken thee to him and all thy Brethren the sons of Levi with thee and seek you the Priests Office also For the which cause both thou and all thy Company are gathered together against the Lord and what is Aaron that you murmur against him And let it be observed that all this was done after Aaron had made the golden Calf which Korah durst not Object nor against Moses his Marriage against the Law 18. From whence appears that GOD Almighty is violated of which he is sensible eveu unto Jealousie when any Power of his Constitution is touched but for Alteration and however the People may be easily deluded to beleeve that Changing is bettering yet GOD justly abhors the putting of this dishonour upon his Wisdome That GOD was the Author of the Distinction of Clergy and Laity is assured from hence and shall be made more manifest when I come to speake of the Likenesse of GOD. And that he was the distinguisher of the Power of Order and the Power of Jurisdiction first between the Priest and the Levite secondly between the Priests and the Chiefe Priests thirdly between the High Priest and the Chiefe Priests Answerable whereunto unto which Perpetuity was Promised and Sworn to as shall be proved Chap. 8. was the Priesthood of the unalterable Evangelical Covenant Constituted By and From Christ and his Apostles in the Primitive Church 19. Now when Dominion is any where Established as shall be made more cleare hereafter according to the Heavenly Platforme which is copied out in GODS Word as mans perpetual Rule man ought to tremble at each thought against it as they did who ran away when the Earth in this Story opened her mouth GODS Approbation being to be presumed to be no Iesse inviolable where his direction is followed then if himselfe for the Constituting of Regal Power had come amongst us whose Precept and Example are come into the severall Kingdomes of the one Catholique Church For Saint Jude hath told us that they doe no better now then Korah did at that time who ever doe against the present Powers what ever they shall doe against us And the Power that then was supreme to wit of the Heathen Roman Emperour had not the Circumstantials of that which was conferred upon Moses and David in whose Person our Christian Kings were more perfectly Established then himselfe as shall be proved Chap. 8. 20. But to give the Narrative of their whole apparent guilt Moses sent Verse 12. to call unto him and Aaron their Competitors they resuse with Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us out of a Land that floweth with milk and honey to kill us in the Wildernesse Except thou make thy selfe Lord and Ruler over us also Wilt thou put out the eyes of these men We will not come up We see here no act of Hostility we hear onely words and they are here Recorded that the like upon the like perill should never more be presumed See what followes Elohim was constrained to stir up agaome his Almightinesse for the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 swallowing up of those open Sepulchres which himself reassuming his old word Bara cals Creation Verse 30. But if the Lord Create a new Creation and the Earth open her mouth and swallow them up and they goe down alive into Sheol then you shall understand that these men however they pretend to clash onely against us have violated the Lord. 21. And certainly the Government Established amongst us hath as certainly GOD for the Author of it as he was of this under Moses and Aaron and no lesse certainly they who with no lesse violence impugne the present Constitution of GOD shall if they persist therein with no lesse seriousnesse be punished then Korah was if later then heavier For no man can thinke it probable that if Korah had had another Korah to have entered the same Lists before him this Korah would have been his Second in this Quarrell And most assuredly we may conceive that the greatnesse of our warning which Korah wanted must Aggravate the greatnesse of our sinne who would not take warning by him And they that adventure to go further in the same way that he went must looke to fall deeper into the same Pit then he fell GOD grant that they who pretend to Clear all eyes doe not indeed put out ours 22. For my part in the sincerity of a charitable soule I say it I do not see how any man can distinguish any who go on that way into any hopes of comfort while they so doe but that amongst Professors of Christianity Resistance of and Rebellion against the lawfull Prince and Priest are far more flagitious then was that against Moses and Aaron For that their Power although extraordinarily given yet when given it was ordinary it being the Divine Power of the same GOD for the same ends with ours Thus in Aaron the same Power that was in him was afterwards in Eledzar and is at the least no lesse in the Christian Priest 2 Cor. 3. 10. For even that which was made glorious viz. the ministration of Death Ver. 7. and the Ministration of Condemnation Ver. 9. had no Glory in this relation by reason or with relation to of the Glory viz. of the ministration of the Spirit Ver. 8. that excelleth For if that which is done away was glorious much more that which remaineth is glorious So in Moses the Power of Dominion was no lesse in Joshua then in him and indeed larger in the Jewish Kings then either whose Patent is exceeded rather then otherwise in the Commission of Christian Kings as shall be proved Chap. 8. 23. Now since the dreadfull Condemnation of Korah doth indeed reach down unto these dayes and since those Powers which are Divine though Executed by mortall men are themselves immortall And since the Application of GODS everlasting Name of Elohim and his adding thereunto of his great Seale of Unction to both the Orders Regal and Sacerdotal doth attest the everlastingnesse of both the Powers though the Persons die And since they were both before the Law which might Conclude them no partakers of the Lawes reputed frailty but that
