Soul Spirit and Life of Antichristianisme typical before Christ and antitypical since as the other reason is of Heathenisme which consisting of instinctive devotion of Will and this of distinctive notion of Wit so necessite a concord between the blind and the lame that the God of this World and its World-worship hath ever compounded or rather confounded his World-worship of these two though the former more predominateth in Heathenisme and the latter in Antichristianisme yet do both by the former palliate the ignorant multitude and by the latter the wise learned witty and practick sort and by an associative mixture of both bewitch and besot the whole world except the few whose names are written in the Book of Life Rev. 13 3 8.15 2. 18 4. 20 4. or through their guilded hypocrisie seem so to them that are as Judas did to the other Apostles and Achitophel his type to David Simon Magus to Peter Demas to Paul c. who yet like a Mer-man Sea-lew Sea-horse Dog-fish c. will make a shift to live in the Land of Canaan and by twy-light to seem a course man Lyon Horse Dog c. to the sand-blind or semi-blind while their tails or hind-parts are in the water who yet long for the Sea-banks of the Philistims and by day may and will be discovered to be but Dagons of Palestina and Fishes of the Antichristian Sea either Meer main and Romane or mixt mean or Britromane and that they were but massingilt not massie-gold which Christs Temple and Templaries ought to be toward and through him 1 King 6.21 22. The particulars of this false-instituted Divine or rather undivine or diviline worshipping God are and have been innumerable especially in respect of the first root and reason even neer so many as there have been several Nations Kingdoms Stocks and Independent Families yea when Nationed-Families could but slack the bridle of Superiority Judg. 17. with v. 6. and 18. with v. 30 31. Wherefore I aim not to enumerate them all but onely all the special ones mentioned in the Scripture and that in their Historical order and then to shew that they all were intended instituted and constituted unto God the Creatour Preserver and Governour of the world and of those World-worshippers and that therefore the difference between unchristian and Antichristian worship is not in the falshood and difference of the object or divine person worshipped but onely in the instituted order and meanes of worshipping that most highest last and properly sole divine worshipfull person patterned to their power by his own set by Adam Moses Christ c. The first False-Worship mentioned in the Word is onely in the general that there was one erected and so instituted and constituted in the days of En●sh Gen. 4.26 which bred the distinguishing names of the sons of God and the sons of Man the Worshippers being to be denominated according to their instituted worship which before was but one and also the peculiar names of a Preacher of righteousness and of its contrary the matter preached being of the nature and so ought to be of the name of the stative worship which yieldeth him his Office wherefore and from which time Noah is called the eight Preacher of Righteousness wherefore Enosh was the first in this respect but simply or otherwise the third but this being controverted and not particularized it is not for this place Nor the like of Babel its Workmen and their confusion of tongues nor the Egyptian worship though imported in Aarons and Jeroboams Steers But onely of those expressed in the Word The first is that of Aarons and Israels Steer and its appurtenances 1.

Aaron as the Erecter and Orderer of that Worship with its Priests and Levites and their works and of the whole Congregation and of each member thereof and as the Exerciser of the High-Priests Office himself and the rest doing theirs 3. The golden Steer as the best sign of God as communicater with them in giving it to work for and maintain them by its life and death and therefore in accepting it as his own due heriot or worship i. e. homage of his Lordship practised in Egypt and confirmed by Gods erecting his set divine signs altars sacrifices eating them c. all which Israel and Aaron made parts of that calvish Egyptian worship by their subordinating them unto it and so made themselves forsakers of God and of his true worship and turners of it unto and into Idolatry Exod. 32.4 6 8.

Idolatrous communion with that false Worship Altar Priestood Unholiday false Gods or signs of God and with their instituters and constituters and so with the Devil the supream Author of them all and so became forsakers of Jah Jehovah God The second was that of Baal or the Sun as the eminentest mean between God and Man from the second age after Joshuah unto the captivity all the time of the Judges more scatteredly and after Solomon more encorporately in both now with more authority and pomp and then with less 1 King 16.32 The third in the Scripture mentioned was that of Micah Jud. 17. which was the same with the Baal-worship of the Land but according to his potency erected in a chappel of his own with all its appurtenances The fourth and next after Micha's was Jeroboams Idolatry subordinating all Gods Mosaicall administrations unto his Temples Ministries and Sacraments of his institu●ing and thereby making them parts of his Bul-worship or Baal-worship though in Judah they were still Gods 1 King 12.26 to 33.

This is the confluence of all the subjects of Idolatry and false Divine Worship The stative parts and actors or active States Ministries or Offices that Hierarchick c. these are the compleat patterns of all Idolatrous States Offices and instituted Orders rective teaching atoning possessive and fructive the particulars of each of these are innumerable and too large for this place the supream State or Head is the popeship or office of the Pope or universal Primate The next sort is the National Primates The third the Provincial The fourth the Diocesan The fift the Parochial Each of these have many Nethinims and Levites Their Actions Functions or Ministrations far more innumerable and irregular but more inobservable yet the soul of their abomination is in their God-Churchship or God-Rome whoredome which causeth the world to partake with the froth of her Fornication by her pretended infallibility of Doctrine and absolute authority obtruded by her emulous deposing and envious opposing all venerable Deities and Dignities so making the Gospel-preaching Sacraments Prayer c. Antichristian all partaking in any of those instituted actions c. is spiritual communion with those stative parts c. and so with that Hierarchick Antichrist c. and so with Devils Rev. 20.10 of and for whom they were so instituted constituted and used I forget not that other false worship of the Jews after the expiration of the seventy seveni'ts three years and an half after Christs Resurrection but it paralleleth not with these eleven either in their humane and diabolical institution constitution or communion but onely in the unholy and unhappy use for there is no relative partaking or spiritual communion without a relative state spiritual union of a corporation or authoritive erection of a Spiritual Ministry and Office or of a Sacramental Rite real or actional For though the Mosaical Church-state Ministry and Ministrations continued the same in the Jews practise yet the Apostles and many thousand believing Jews were both active and receptive in all the three real and the two relative or connexive parts of that Mosaical worship either cultively as the many thousands or indultively as the Apostles and their peculiar ones Act. 21.20 to 26. 1 Cor. 9.19 to 23. yet without Idolatry and instituted false worship in the Apostles intrue understanding because it was not of any humane institution constitution only it was without the spirits direction assistance or blessing in the devout thousands yea and in the Apostles as worshippers of God thereby but onely as understanding Indulgers of the weak knowledge of the sincere Believers and as commended Judaizers with them Act. 21.23 1 Cor. 9.20 The reason is because that compleat worship was instituted by God his Angels Act. 7.53 and his Mediatour Moses v. 37. and constituted by the concurrence of all those with the acceptance and free will of the Israelites in the Wilderness and confirmed by all the powers of Gods spirit as from him and in his people then ever after in all legal manner and measure yea and unto all Gospel-conversion sanctification and blessings except in the reserved degree peculiar to the Gospel Heb. 1. to 3.6 and it was invested in the consciences of the Saints by the word-light and true zeal and devotion of the spirit unto heavenly content but none of the other eleven ever were thus n any particular though it were mortal to cease by its deaths wound and sentence at Christs death unto death and execution three years and an half after it yet it was not deadly and pestiferous to any of the then converted Jews but after and ever since their death it was and ever shall be and no more indulgeable then the other 11. Of these with other false Worships the Author hath written more la●gly whereof at present I shall only add one instance more at large viz. that of Aarons and Israels Steer and its appurtenances and his seconding thereof with 2 Cor. 11.13 to 16.
