offerer These were performed by offering of gifts onely or by offering of living creatures also The sacrifice of gifts called Libatio or Meat-offering was that in which meat drink oile salt frankincense c. were offered The sacrifice of Living-creatures was performed either by burning the fat of the sacrifice or by killing and eating of the beasts also That was called the Sacrifice of Pacification This the sacrifice of Praise The holy-times were either of dayes or of years Of dayes were 1. The morning of each day and the two evenings in which the daily sacrifice was offered 2. The seventh or Sabbath-day which was a type of that sanctification and rest which was to be obtained by Christ. 3. The Calends or New-moons or first day of the moneth The times of the year were either anniversary or every year or else after the expiration of divers years The anniversary Solemnities were either greater or lesser The greater were the feasts of Easter of Pentecost and of Tabernacles The feast of Easter was celebrated the fifteenth day of the first Moneth as a remembrance of the peoples delivery from Egypt and as a type of future deliverance by Christ. The feast of Pentecost was kept the fiftieth day after Easter as a memorial of the Law given upon mount Sinai and as a type of that new Law which was to be written in our hearts by the holy Ghost who was to be sent afterward in a visible forme At this feast were offered the first-fruits hence it was called the feast of the first-fruits The feast of Tabernacles was solemnized the fifteenth day of the seventh moneth as a remembrance of that gracious preservation of the Israelites in the desart in tents and as a type of Christs incarnation Thanks also were given to God at this feast for the fruits and harvest whence it was called the feast of Collection The lesser solemnities were the feast of Trumpets celebrated the first day of the seventh moneth in which the civil year had its beginning the feast also of expiation which fell out upon the tenth day of the same moneth That did represent the sounding of the Gospel this of our atonement to be made by Christ The Solemnities that were kept after divers years were the Sabbathical year and the year of Jubile The Sabbathical year or year of weeks was every seventh year wherein there was a cessation from tilling the ground from demanding of debts The year of Jubile was every fiftieth year in which all possessions return to their owners the Hebrew servants were set free A type of our freedome from sin and Satan by Christ. So much for the ceremonial Law the judicial Law was that which belong'd to the constituting of the Jewish Common-wealth The RULES I. As the Ceremonial Law had relation to God so the Iudicial to our Neighbour II The Iudicial Law binds us in those things that agree with the Moral Law and were of common right III. But what was of private right and commanded for the Iewish Common-wealth in particular do no more bind us than the Municipal Laws of other Common-wealths CHAP. XV. Of the Gospel and how it agrees with and differs from the Law HItherto we have seen out of the Law the necessity of Redemption now we are to see the truth thereof in the Gospel The Gospel is the joyfull news or Doctrine of the Son of God being sent into this World that he might assume our nature and might undergo the curse of the Law for us that by his perfect obedience to the same he might obtain life eternal to us The RULES I. The Law and Gospel agree in the chief efficient cause to wit God and in the instrumental namely the written Word but they differ in their outward instrumental causes both because the Law was delivered by Moses and the Gosâ—el by Châ—ist fully and also because the Law is by nature known to man but the Gospel is not except by Gods gracious revelation II. They agree in their common matter because on both sides obedience is required by promises and threatnings but they differ in their particular matter for the Law principally teacheth what we must do and the Gospel what we must believe III. They agree in their common forme because on both sides the Looking-glass of perfect obedience is exhibited but they differ in their proper forme for the Law teacheth what is that righteousness which is perfect and most pleasing to God but the Gospel sheweth where or in whom we are to finde that perfect righteousness the Law requires it of us the Gospel shews where it is to be found namely in Christ. IV. They agree in their principal end to wit in Gods glory and in the next subordinate end to it namely our salvation which on either side is seen but they differ in their particular ends for the Law was given to that end that it might drive us to seek Christ but the Gospel that it might exhibite Christ. V. They agree in their common object namely in man lapsed but they differ in their proper object for the proper object of the Law is man as he is to be terrified and humbled but of the Gospel man as he is terrified and humbled VI. They agree in their common adjuncts to wit holiness goodness and perfection which both Law and Gospel have being considered in themselves but they differ in this that by accident and by reason of our weakness the Law without the Gospel is insufficient to save us VII It is apparent by this comparing of the Law and Gospel after what manner these two are proposed in Scripture as subordinate and opposite the one to the other VIII They are opposite in respect of man as he is regenerate or irregenerate but they are subordinate in the regenerate man They are proposed by the Apostle as opposites Rom. 6.14 You are not saith he under the Law but under grace Here he points out the state of man before and after regeneration The unbeliever is said to be under the Law 1. Because he is under the curse of the Law 2. Because he is under the rigour of the Law by which it requires perfect righteousness and obedience 3. Because he takes occasion to sin from the Law according to that Nitimur in vetitum semper cupimusque negata We alwayes incline to forbidden things and desire that which is denied us see Rom. 7.8 But the believer is said to be under grace 1. Because he is free from the curse of the Law 2. Because he is delivered from the rigour of the Law and that exaction of perfect righteousness to wit that which Christ hath performed 3. Because he is delivered from the dominion of sin so that he takes not any longer from the Law occasion to sin but begins to yield obedience to the Law by the operation of the Holy Ghost that he might give witnesse of his thankefullness But they are set out as subordinate when Christ is said to be

the end of the Law Rom. 10.4 when it is called a School-master to lead us to Christ Gal. 3.24 and when the Law is said not to be contrary to him who doth the works of the Spirit Gal. 5.22 23. For that righteousness which the Law requires that the Gospel exhibites in Christ to the Believer and albeit we cannot in this life yield full satisfaction to the Law yet the regenerate begin to obey it by the grace of sanctification CHAP. XVI Of the Person of Christ God and Man THe parts of the Gospel concerning Christ our Redeemer are two the first is of his person the other of his Office In respect of the Person the Redeemer is God and man that is Gods eternal Son being incarnate or made man in the fulnesse of time John 1.14 And the word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us Gal. 4 4. But after the fulnesse of time came God sent his Son made of a Woman 1. Tim. 3 16. and without controveâ—sie great is the mystery of godliness God made manifest in the flesh The RULES I. The Incarnation of Christ originally is the work of the whole blessed Trinity but terminatively or in respect of the object it is the work of the Son alone For the son onely assumed mans nature which the father in the Son by the Holy Ghost formed of the substance of the blessed Virgin II The person of Christ is considered either disjunctively as the Word and the eternal Son of God or conjunctively as God and man the first consideration is according to Divinity the latter according to Oeconomie or Gods gracious dispensation III. Likewise the divine nature is considered either in it self and simply or relatively as it is in the Person of the Word by dispensation IV. Althâ—ugh then it be true that Christ-God is become man yet it follows not that therefore the Divinity is incarnate or because the Son is Incarnate that the Father also and Holy Ghost are Incarnate V. The matter out of which the Incarnation was effected is the seed of the Woman or of the blessed Virgin Gen. 3.15 VI. The forme of it consisteth in the Personal Vnion whereby the word was made flesh and Christ remained the same he was and became what he was not VII The end is Gods glory and our salvation VIII Both the truth of God as also our salvation do evince the necessity of Christs incarnation IX The truth of God because in the Old Testament it was uttered by divers Prophesies and was shaddowed by divers types These are the chief Prophesies Gen 3.15 I will put enmity between thee and the Woman and between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel Gen. 22.18 In thy seed all nations shall be blessed Esa. 7.14 Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son and they shall call his name Emanuel Esa. 9.6 7. For unto us a child is borne and unto us a Son is given Jer. 23.5 Behold the dayes shall come in which I will raise to David a righteous branch and a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgement and justice on the earth In his dayes â—udah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called The Lord our righteousness But his types were the Tabernacle the Arke of the Covenant and such like of which we have said but chiefly Melchisedeck without father without mother Hebr. 7.3 and that humane shape or form in which he appeared of old frequently to the Fathers X. Our salvation for this cause doth evince and prove the necessity of his Incarnation in that we could not be saved but by such a redeemer who was both God and Man in one Person or God-man XI That he should be God was requisite in respect of both parties on the one side the Majesty of God required it on the other side our wants the greatness of the evil that was to be removed and the good that was to be restored Such is the Majesty of God that no man could interpose himself but he who was one with the Father the very Angels durst not do this because they also stood in need of Christ the Mediator Col. 1.16 17. Because they being compared with God are unclean Ioh. 15.15 and for this cause they cover their faces in Gods presence Isa. 6.2 How much lesse then could any man intercede whereas there is not one just person Rom. 3.10 The evill that was to be taken away was sin and the consequents of sin the wrath of God the power of Satan both temporal and eternal death Now I pray by whose suffering could that infinite Majesty be satisfied which was offended unlesse by his suffering who was also Infinitâ— By whose Intercession could the wrath of God be appeased but by his onely who is that best beloved son of God By whose strength could Satan with the whole power of darknesse be overcome except by his who in power exceeds all the Devils who finally could overcome death except he who had the power over death Heb. 2.15 But the good things that were to be â—estred were perfect righteousness adoption into sons the Image of God the gifts of the holy Ghost life eternal and such like but now who could bestow that righteousness on us except he who is justice it self Who is so fit to make us the sons of God as he who is by nature the Son of God Who was so fit to restore in us the image of God as he who is himselfe the Image of the invisible God who can bestow on us the holy Spirit so assuredly as he from whom the spirit proceedeth Who at last can give us life eternal but he who is life it self Iohn 1.4 XII That he might be man the justice of God required which as it leaves not sin unpunished so it punisheth not sin but in that nature which sinned The first branch of this Rule is plain both by the justice and by the truth of God By his justice because God by this doth not onely resist but also punish sin Psal. 5.4 5 6. For thou art not a God that hast pleasure in wickednesse nor shall evil dwell with thee the foolish shall not stand in thy sight thou hatest all workers of iniquity thou shalt destroy them that speak lies the Lord will abhor the blody and deceitful man Now by the truth of God because the threatning which was given before the fall could not be in vain therefore Socinus is idle and foolish who that he might overthrow the merit of Christ feigns such a justice of God which doth not necessarily inflict eternal death or require satisfaction and which in this respect can be content to loose its own right but if sins were to be punished they were surely to be punished in our nature for to man the Law was given and to man death was threatned therefore it lies upon man to suffer the punishment
