Interpreters will prove the same that shechinah Gods manifestation of his presence in his Church upon earth for a deteermined time is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Apoc. 21.3 and is also shechinah There is in Christs humane nature a shechinah which shall never expire The place in which Jacob slept as he was going from Beersheba toward Haran in Onkelus upon Gen. 28.16 is a place in which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the glory of the Lord rested To a place so graciously visited by God is contradistinguished in the same paraphrase on the verse following 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a private place It 's competently clear that each supernaturall effect of divine power may be called shechinah I see not but * Ruach hakkodesh or the Spirit of God the third person of the sacred Trinity excepted and shechinah are of equal latitude Ruach Hakkodesh as without the sacred Trinity and shechinah may be esteemed reciprocall Prophecy is called the spirit of the Lord Ezech. 11.5 wisdome understanding counsell and might knowledge the fear of the Lord are called the spirit of the Lord Esa 11.2 See also Ezech. 11.19 1. Pet. 4.14 Exod. 21.3 with Jews and Mahumedans which learned M. Selden observes in Eutychii origines p. 21. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is Spiritus sanctus super ordinatos quiescens Ordination with the Jews saith the authour prais'd ibid. according to it 's externall effect reddebat idoneos judiciis exercendis adeò ut in * viz. sive vigintitrium virale sive septuaginta unius virale Synedriaerite cooptari possent The internal effect was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the holy Ghost If any Jewish writers affirm that this gift was conferr'd in ordination towards the latter times of the second Temple they must understand if they will consist with themselves some vertue distinct from prophecy which might enable to decide causes propounded It 's generally confess'd by Jews that God withheld from their forefathers the spirit of prophecy within short time after the building of the second house What may be objected concerning their dissensions in judicature may easily be removed unlesse it can be prov'd that Jews thought that such vertue was perpetually conferr'd in ordination and could not be forfeited The Seventy of which the first great Sanhedrin consisted as soon as they were ordained by God were endued with the spirit of prophecy From this event I conjecture Spiritus sanctus began to signifie the inward effect of ordination in what sense soever us'd afterwards No one can doubt but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the spirit is as Onkelus paraphraseth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the spirit of prophecy Num. 11.25 29. I deny not but Ruach Hakkodesh Shechinah signifie distinct things in Massecheth Joma and some other places quoted It 's sufficiently known that ob defectum vocabulorum words frequently without additament are by use determined to part of their primary significations I may adde that * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is used in this sense Iohn 7.39 Acts 19.1 Ruach Hakkodesh the holy Ghost or the spirit of God is more frequently used for the spirit of prophecy then for other exhibitions of Gods extraordinary presence This occasion'd a mistake in Bomberge's and Buxtorf's edition of Onkelus upon Exod. 31.3 They insert 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The spirit of God conferr'd upon Bezaleel Exod. 31.3 with Onkelus according to the Spanish Bible is a spirit from before the Lord but with Bomberge and Buxtorf the spirit of prophecy from before the Lord. The spirit of prophecy evermore inform'd what was is or should be done The spirit conferr'd upon Bezaleel onely enabled him to do somewhat The holy Ghost suggested to Bezaleel skil in order to the structure of the Tabernacle Those have mistaken them to have been reciprocall Those who are reproched for the name of Christ may probably be said to have the spirit of glory resting on them in regard of their present glorious condition by reason of the value and excellency of grace to be preferr'd before worldly prosperity to have the spirit of God resting upon them in that they are assured by * Prophecy is archetypally in God in those who are instructed by Gods prophets as commodities in the possession of those who have purchased them at the second hand Who instructed by a Prophet relates future contingent things cannot without acyrologie be called a Prophet Aquin. 2.2 quaest 173. art 2 3. yet may be said to have the spirit of God resting upon him as affected with any prophecy applyed to his own occasions by speciall aid from Gods spirit To interpret prophecyes contained in sacred Scriptures is to prophecy 1. Cor. 14.1 3 4 5 6. I deny not but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 may signifie the same that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and consequently be attributed to those who interpret Scriptures immediately doctrinall but to prophecy seems to signifie as I have said in 1. Cor. 14. as in the 6. verse distinguished from doctrine See Beza upon the place divine revelation and the comfortable influence of Gods spirit that God will adde a gracious event to their sufferings Their sufferings if we subduct the spirit of glory and the spirit of God will be much sunk below nothing That I may yet more fully explain this Scripture the spirit of glory seems to allude to Esay 4.5 6. and to the pillar of the cloud which marched before the Israelites by day and that of fire which went before them by night in the wildernesse The comfortable influences of Gods spirit in the hearts of those who are reproched for the name of Christ may be fitly called the spirit of glory in that a pledge of Gods extraordinary presence but moreover as like the pillar of fire illuminating and comforting them beset with gloomy afflictions and like a cloud sheltring them from temptations which are suggested by their sufferings That I may adde another glosse a cloud of afflictions resting upon Gods children is so farre from intercepting the light and sun-shine of Gods countenance that with the cloud which overshadowed the tabernacle and that which rested in the temple it 's a token and pledge of his more then ordinary presence It may be enquired how ruach hakkodesh if it signifie propheticall influence can be said to have been wanting in the times of the second Temple unlesse Haggie Zachary and Malachy be denied to have been Prophets R. Bechai upon the paraschah in Genesis called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 endeavoureth to remove this scruple The Scripture saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as if it should say * The latter times as well as the first under the second Temple are to be excepted The Jews in whose age John the Baptist lived counted him a Prophet Matth. 14.5 21.6 Our Saviour is said in Josephus Antiquit. Judaic lib. 18. c. 4. to have been 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a wise man he meaneth a Prophet Josephus in his
