as Intrude upon the work thereof I know not how they can be secure from punishments seeing under the Old Testament those who intruded upon the office of the Priest were to be put to death by a law of God's own making when he first consecrated Aaron and his family thereunto I have given your Priests office unto you as a sacrifice of gift and the stranger that commeth nigh shall be put to death Num. 18 7 The Israelites had more cause to grudge that the Priesthood sh●uld be appropriated to a family only then we have that the ministery should be confin'd to learning and gifts and other necessary qualifications and yet the stranger even to the family that commeth nigh shall be put to death This law when men could not execute it God did and that in a fearefull full manner For as Dathan and Abiram all that follow'd them with all they had were devoured by the earth Num. 16. vers 32 So Korah and his brethren who sought the Priesthood for medling with that fire which they had nothing to doe with were devoured by fire vers 35. Korah and his brethren were Levites of the same tribe with Aaron and yet this would not excuse them What must men expect then who are of another tribe if they encroach If they plead necessitie viz because there is a defect of Ministers or because the work of the Ministery is neglected or not perform'd in that manner as it should be yet will this reason hardly suffice For though there were no Priests present and though the Arke sho●ke and though it were not carried as it ought to bee viz upon mens shoulders yet it is said of Vzzah the sonne of Abinadab who with his brother drave the cart wherein the Ark was carried that when he laid hold on the Ark. The anger of the Lord was kindled against Vzzah and God smote him there for his errour and there he died by the Arke of the Lord 2 Sam 6. 7. For his errour or because of his errour for so the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 me thinks seemes to signifie cleare enough and not only upon And that this errour was his laying hold of the Arke me thinkes the Holy Ghost seemes to intimate having mentioned that action of his immediately before his punishment which also had not beene otherwise a passage so much worth a relating to say nothing that the Hebrew may as well be translated this errour as his errour having an article before it which may be demonstrative as well as not And yet because it is said onely errour and not his errour or because the Vulgar translation out of too much superstition keeping closer to the words of the Septuagint then the sence renders onely super temeritate and not propter temeritatem upon and not for his rashnesse and yet perhaps intending it for because you will not thinke what a company of different conjectures there are of other causes of this punishment as if God had beene unjust in thus punishing him but onely for this small fault as they suppose of touching the Arke when as you may read in Numbers ch 4 15. that the Kohathites themselves whose place was so were the Arke as to beare it were notwithstanding forbidden to touch the Arke upon paine of Death Besides as to the Septuagint their translation it is well enough knowne that the preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 therein used is often put with a Dative case to signifie because and of all it's significations besides of which it hath divers there can bee hardly any other given in this place with any propriety neither doe I remember whē it is used for super in the sence as super is us'd with an ablative case If you will needs translate UPON his rashnesse I shall give consent so you take it as it is said Luk. 5. 5. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 UPON this word will I put downe the net But enough If it might have been safe for any one to medle with the office of the Priest it is likely it might be for the King whose office and the office of Priesthood were many times joyn'd together among some people But yet it was not For Vzziah King of Judah for but offering to burne incense upon the Altar for he did not doe it because the Priests withstood him was suddenly struck with Leprosy in his forhead and continu'd a Leper to his dying day 2 Chr. 26. 19. Josephus saies there was also an Earthquake at that time as there was at that time when Korah committed the like sinne and that the Temple being therewith rent at the top the Sun shone in directly upon the Kings head whereupon the Leprosy presently arose Hierom Cyrill Origen and Chrysostome upon Isaiah ch 6. 1. say there was another greater punishment inflicted by God for this sinne vers 12. not suffering them to have any more prophecies after that time as long as Vzziah lived There is in my minde yet one place of Scripture more whence a man may well conjecture how likely such men are to be punished and that is Exod. 30. 38. where it is said that whosoever should but make the like ointment as Moses made to be used about the Tabernacle should be cut off from his people which I produce onely to shew how curious God was of any thing that belonged to his sanctuary to preserve the propriety of it and how carefull not to have it made common and vile If God doe not punish them for their sin yet I doubt he will ha●dly blesse them in their practise for only Aarons rod did blossome Num 17. 8. Bad Ministers threatned for a punishment To some there seemes to be a threat of bad Prophets or Ministers in Micah chap. 2. 11. If any man walking in the spirit falsehood doe lye saying I will prophecy unto them of wine and of strong drinke he shall even be the Prophet of this people The paraphrast upon this place thus speaks Because they have wandred after false Prophets who prophecied to them with a lying spirit and accustomed them to wine and strong drinke it shall bee that the people of this generation as they are wandered after false Prophets in a place where they had such as were true shall be banished into a land of lies where they shall have no true Prophets if they would I will raise up a shepheard in the land which shall not visit those that be cut off neither shall seek the yong one nor heale that that is broken nor feed that that standeth still but he shall eat the flesh of the fat and teare their clawes in pieces Zach. 11. 16. Hierom expounds this of Antichrist Grotius of Manasses who marrying with Sanballats daughter made himselfe high priest against his brother built another Temple upon mount Garizim whither he made the Jewes goe ●ong journeyes so that they tare their claws and wore out their feet with going Deiodate
