the Feast of Expiation though it was not fit nor could be that Aaron who yet doubtless was a Type of Christ should dye and rise again and ascend into Heaven of which the Sanctum Sanctorum is a Type even of the highest and purest part thereof yet instead of his own Blood he entred into the Sanctum Sanctorum with the blood of a Bullock and Goat which was a Type of the Bloodshed of Christ of whom Aaron was also a Type which therefore plainly implies the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ who out-did the Type and with his own Blood entred into the Holy of Holies And whereas both the Spiritual or Immortal Nature of Christ and his Terrestrial and Mortal could not be set out by one thing two Goats are made to typifie them the sacrificed Goat his crucified Flesh or Body on the Cross which likewise lay dead in the Grave while the Scape-Goat an Emblem of his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Plotinus somewhere calls it his Immortal part was sent free into the Wilderness the Won of Spirits and Ghosts to Azazel if that be a proper Name a mighty Prince in those Regions of the Dead according to that Clause in the Creed if rightly understood He descended into Hell Or that of the Apostle 1 Pet. 3.18 Being put to death in the flesh but alive in the Spirit by which he also went and preached to the Spirits in prison These were the weighty Negotiations of the Scape-Goat the Immortal part of Christ till his visible Resurrection by resuming his Body out of the Grave And there is the like reason of the two Birds one killed and the other let fly into the fields Levit. 14.4 These the more we search into them the more easie and natural Types they will be found of those Passages touching Christ his Death and Resurrection as the entring of Aaron with the blood of the Goat a Type of Christ as to his Suffering as well as Aaron was a Type of him into the Sanctum Sanctorum is a plain Type of his Ascension into Heaven and Intercession there in virtue of his own Blood shed on the Cross in his Crucifixion But it is besides my present Scope to insist on these things I will only give one Instance more and that is of Aaron in his Priestly Habiliments In which Spectacle we may so plainly read not only those three Offices of Christ whose Type he is King Priest and Prophet his golden Diadem denoting the first his Vestments in common with other Priests the second and his Urim and Thummim the last The durable effect whereof is discovered in those Visions especially of Daniel and the Apocalypse that run through all the conditions of the Church to the End of the World but there is yet a further Mystery discernible viz. the Divinity of Christ in that he is cloathed with the Universe which is a Vestment cannot belong to Aaron as a man but as he is a Type of the Eternal Logos that made the World See the Appendix to the Defence of my Philosophick Cabbala Chap. 5. Sect. 3 4. And the Name Jehovah viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 engraven on his golden Diadem an Orthodox Cabbalist will be prone to conceive and not without better reason perhaps than any can bring to the contrary that the Triplicity of those Letters 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 denote the Trinity of Hypostases in the Godhead 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which the Platonists also term 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and we Christians call Father Son and Spirit Which Spirit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is set after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as well as after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as if we were to be instructed thereby that the Spirit proceedeth as well from the Son as from the Father Though I do not hope that such a Cabbalistical Notion will suddenly end the Controversie betwixt the Greek Church and the Latine But I must beg my Reader 's pardon for this not altogether I hope useless Digression I had before made a competent Supply for my not bestowing one entire Chapter in my Paralipomena to prove the Intelligibleness of the Visions of Daniel and the Apocalypse without which all endeavour to interpret them is ridiculous and vain And I need the less here expatiate on this Argument Phililicrines Parrhesiastes in his Reflexions on R. B. having done so much of that work to my hand but in a way that partakes much of Mirth and Satyr for which he may haply incur the Censure of the more grave and sowre and it may be more for being merry than Satyrical And the first I must confess is the greatest infirmity I have observed in that Party But it is a sign he has all this time served a good Master and that it is not the deepness of Melancholy as some superficial Souls may be prone to phansie that has plunged his mind into such serious studies as the searching out the right sense of inspired Visions and Prophecies and the like but that there is such a Life and Spirit in him that loves the exercise of Reason Wit and Divine Speculation at once And if by that of Satyr any contempt fall upon R. B. for his contempt of the ancient Primitive Times of the Church and for his presumption of making himself a Guide to People upon his private Spirit against the wholesom Instructions of the Homilies of the Church of England and Authority of both Crown and Mitre and for his foul slurring as much as in him lyes the peculiar Priviledge and Glory of the Christian Religion as to have its state from the beginning to the end so certainly prefigured by Divine Visions and Prophecies he hypocritically pretending the Apocalypse to be altogether unintelligible now it is so clearly to be understood against Fanaticism and Bloodshed thus cancelling the seasonable usefulness thereof and casting dirt upon the pious and learned Labours of the best Writers of our Church I say if any contempt fall upon him from what of Satyr is found in those Reflexions of Phililicrines Parrhesiastes he may as I conceive fairly thank himself there being nothing I dare say intended by that free Satyrist but the peace and good of the Church and the reducing of R. B. to a better Judgment and exposing the profane and frivolous Spirit of those that pride themselves in a boastful profession that to them forsooth great Wits as they are the holy Visions of the Divinely inspired Prophets are altogether Unintelligible Books written by the same Author and printed for Walter Kettilby at the Sign of the Bishop's Head in S.
