after them that hauing ouertaken the enemie the same night hee charged them so hotly vpon the sudden that he easily discomfited them recouered the prisoners and brought backe many others with a glorious victory and with these rich spoiles of cattell apparell and all sorts of wealth which the Painter hath diuersly expressed in the taile of the forenamed Squadron For there you see Camels and Horses some shewing a peece of the head onely others all the head and others a peece of the body likewise there you see also Coates Aimours Chestes and such like things But you ought not to wonder that the Souldiers haue their armes and garments bloudie for they come fresh from the combate These first Lords next Abraham wearing great plumes in their gilded Helmets enuironed with a Diadem Gen. 14.17 are the Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah who hauing gathered certaine troopes are come to encounter him with congratulation Abraham vsing them with all courtesie and rendering to them not onely their people that were prisoners but also their goods which they found as they were a little before when they were taken from them they returne Well satisfied and contented Melchisedcch is attentiue to the Sacrifice and makes his Offerings of Bread and of Wine to God praying to him most affectually Gen. 14. heare what he saith Blessed bee Thou ABRAHAM by God the highest which created heauen and earth and blessed be God the highest by whose protection thy enemies are in thy hands This laid he blessed Abraham and gaue to him part of the Sacrifice as also to his people and inuited them all most earnestly to his house to refresh them euery one thanking God with the High-Priest and Abraham giuing him as his due the tenth part of all the spoiles O how many mysteries are hidden in the shadow of this Picture 1. MELCHISEDECH FIGVRE OF our Sauiour MEn cannot paint foorth that which is to come not being able to haue the corporall sight thereof but God who seeth all as present hath made the portraiture of the future Priest-hood of his Sonne in the person of Melchisedech and of the Eucharist in his Offering Saint Paul writes thus Melchisedech saith he King of Salem Hebr. 7. Priest of the mest high God who mette Abraham returning from the slaughter of the Kings and blessed him to whom also Abraham gane Tithes of all First indeed by interpretation the King of Iustice and then also King of Salem which is to say King of Peace without Father without Mother without Genealogie hauing neither beginning of dayes nor end of life but likened to the Sonne of God continueth a Priest for ener He saith then expressely that Melchisedech was the Figure of our Sauiour and setteth downe many resemblances betweene them Melchisedech was in Figure King of Iustice Iesus Christ is the true King of Iustice constituted Iudge of the quick and the dead Melchisedech bearing the name and Iesus Christ being the thing Melchisedech King of Peace our Sauiour the true Salomou Prince of Peace For it is he onely that hath made peace betweene God and man Melchisedech King and Priest of the Chanancons and of Abraham Iesus Christ King of Gentiles and of Hebrewes descending from Abraham hauing made of both people the building of his Church whereof himselfe is the corner stone Melchisedech annoynted of God not with a corporall Vnction as Aaron and the other It wish Priests but with spirituall Iesus Christ the annointed of his Father the Holy of Holies and the Saint of Saints Melchisedech without Father and without Mother and without Genealogie that is to say named in the Scripture without any mention of Father or Mother or of his lineage not that he had no Father nor mother but for a mystery The generation also of the Sonne of God is vndiscouerable not only the eternall but euen the temporall for what spirit can comprehend how he hath been begotten and that from all eternity of his Father and how in time without cohabitation of man he was borne of a perpetuall Virgin before his birth in his birth and after his birth Thus then Melchisedech the High-Priest was the Figure of Iesus Christ 2. THE PRIEST-HOOD OF THE SONNE of God figured in that of Melchisedech BVt the most liuely part of this resemblance and most concerning our mystery is that which the Apostle puts the last as the most perfect saying That the Priesthood of the Sonne of God according to the order of MELCHISEDECH remaines eternally Psal 119. which was also the Prophesie of DAVID Our Lord hath sw●rne and it shall not repent him Thou art a Priest for euer according to the order of MELCHISEDECH This parcell then containeth the mystery of the Sacrament and Sacrifice of the Eucharist instituted by Iesus Christ in his Church vnder the formes of bread and wine to continue euen to the end of the world There had been amongst men two kindes of Priesthood before the comming of our Sauiour the one in a Sacrifice not bloody which offered to God gifts without effusion of blood such was the Offering of Melchisedechs bread and wine the other in bloody Sacrifices which were of three sorts of beasts Oxen Weathers or Goats and so many kinds of Birds Doues Turtles and Sparrowes such were the Sacrifices of Aaron The truth whereof was accomplished and fulfilled in the Sacrifice of the Crosse where Iesus Christ was offered once for all in a bloody manner and that with death after the resemblance of the sacrificing and Sacrifices of Aaron and such a Sacrifice could not be iterated for Iesus Christ could die but once But the truth of the Priesthood and Sacrifice of Melchisedech began in the euening of the institution of the Eucharist when our Sauiour ordained the Sacrament and Sacrifice not bloody of his sacred body vnder the formes of bread and wine this hath he continued euer since by the mystery and seruice of our Priests his Vicars and shall continue so long as the Church shall trauaile vpon the earth he being eternally Priest according to the order of Melchisedech that is to say offering continually the true bread and true wine of his body and blood as Melchisedech offered the Figure But wherefore is it that this Soueraigne wisdome hath instituted the Sacrifice and Sacrament of his body vnder the formes of bread and of wine If we may be able to find out the reason it will very much enlighten vs to see and admire his greatnesse 3. WHEREFORE OVR SAVIOVR HATH instituted the Sacrament and Sacrifice of his body vnder the formes of bread and wine THe supreame wisdome of Christ hath instituted the Sacrament and Sacrifice of his body vnder the formes of bread and wine for many reasons of which the most principall seeme to me to be these First because the bread and wine sensibly and very properly set forth the nature the profitablenesse and the excellencie of this Sacrifice and Sacrament There is nothing more common nor better
