What is the second Station or Standing Past Succoth which signifieth poore cottages shewing thereby as is our nature or continuance of body in this life so is our habitation to wit poore and naught worth in comparison of our eternall habitation Sixe hundred thousand men besides women and children came to this place of which great multitude none entred into Canaan by reason of vnbeliefe but Iosua and Caleb And hereby men are taught that poore and beggarly are all things of this life in comparison of things immortall in the life to come And withall here is declared that many thousands séem by words and by workes to séeke after the Kingdome of heauen but very few shall obtaine it and possesse it thorow the want of faith Exod. 15.23 Num. 33.8 Marah which signifieth bitternesse It might well be so called for all the waters were bitter in that place which made them to murmure against Moses saying What shall we drinke but he cryed vnto the Lord and the Lord shewed him a trée which when he had throwne it into the waters they were swéet Par. What is the sixt place or Station Past Elime signifieth strong hearts There God cheareth and comforteth them wishing them as it were to be strong and of a great courage for then they were brought from those riuers and wels that were bitter to this place where was 12. fountaines of cleare and pleasant waters which did as it were point out aforehand and giue knowledge of 12.

I pray you tell me yet more largely concerning this Law giuen by God himselfe Past This Law Morall is that which almighty God deliuered vnto Moses to the end that he should deliuer the same vnto the people Israell It compelled obedience therefore it was called a precept Euery mans conscience was to yéeld vnto it therefore it was called truth It instructed all men therefore it was called doctrine Rom. 7. Gal. 4. As a wife is in subiection to her husband so long as her husband liueth euen so Israell was to be in subiection vnto this Law so long as Christ liued And as an Heyre that is Lord of all Gal. 3.11 Rom. 7.7 while hée is a childe differeth not much from a seruant but is vnder Tutors and Gouernors euen so Israell though heyres by promise were vnder the law as vnder Tutors vntill Christ came As Adam by disobedience became subiect to death so they by obedience to the Law became subiect to life not by the Law but by Christ As the Estridge séemeth to flye when indéede shée flyeth not so righteousnesse séemeth to come by the Law when indéede it doth not And as the vse of a Watchman is to giue knowledge of the enemie so this Law is to giue knowledge of sinne who is an enemie Wée know that a Master teacheth and trameth vp children in naturall things vntill they come to strength and knowledge to liue in the world of themselues euen so this Law teacheth and traineth vp young and olde in holy duties vntill they come to full strength in Christ to liue eternally Par.

Against whom was this Law iudicial in force and effect and how long Past Against the Iewes onely then and thenceforth whiles they liued in Tents and Tabernacles and also vnto the captiuating thereof It is abrogated from them that liue vnder the Gospell sauing for the substance and the end The forme and qualitie remaineth yet in the conscience and discretion of Christian Princes but so and after that sort as the maker thereof may be knowne to loue and feare God and to desire the eternall good of his Subiects Of which Some did belong to the Tabernacle Priests Leuites Stirring vp of holinesse Keeping of things in remembrance Preseruation of peace All these and the rest had their release and discharge vpon the sacrificing of Christ the perpetuall Aaron according to the order of Melchisedech As
