Gen. 17.7 And that Prophet promised to Moses and I will raise them up a Prophet amongst their Brethren like unto thee and I will put my words into his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him Deut. 18.18 And he is that Prophet of whom the Apostle speaketh Of this Mans Seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour Jesus Act. 13.22 And this is that rod out of the Stem of Jesse on whom the Spirit of the Lord doth rest The Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding the Spirit of Counsel and Might the Spirit of Knowledge and of the fear of the Lord he shall not judge after the sight of his Eyes nor reprove after the hearing of his Ears but with Righteousness shall he judge the Poor and Reprove with Equity for the meek of the Earth and shall smite the Earth with the Rod of his Mouth and with the breath of his Lips shall he slay the Wicked and righteousness shall be the Girdle of his Loyns and Faithfulness the Girdle of his Reins Isa 11. to 11. And this is that Prophet who hath received the Spirit in full The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord hath appointed me to Preach good tidings to the meek he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the captive and the opening of the Prison to them that are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God and to comfort all that mourn to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion to give unto them Beauty for Ashes the Oil of Joy for Mourning the Garment of Praise for the Spirit of Heaviness Isa 61. to 4. He is the only true Sheepheard of the Sheep and entreth in at the Door to whom it is opened and the Sheep hear his voice and follow him he knoweth his Sheep calleth them by their Names and leads them into the true and good Pastures John 10. to 6. He is the infallible guide and teacher He is the Way the Truth the Light and Life and no Man cometh unto the Father but by him Joh. 14.6 He is the only true light that lightneth every Man that cometh into the World John 1.6 This then being the first step of Christs Mediation between God and Man to be their Teacher to instruct them their duty towards God by his infallible Spirit this should lead us again with the Apostle to cry out O the depth and infinite dimensions of the Love and Wisdom of God to sinners If we consider Mans Fall from his credulity in believing the lying suggestions of a fallen Angel in the Mouth of a Serpent and not believing of God and that to avoid mans splitting on this Rock God sends his infallible Spirit of Truth to guide them in all Truth and bring them under the Law of the Spirit by Regeneration and a new Life in Christ Jesus by putting his Spirit in them to make them walk in the Spirit and no more in the unprofitable course of this World in the Flesh and Lusts thereof and endoweth them with the Wisdom and Graces of his Spirit to perform to God new obedience as shall be shewen in examining of the Christian Duties as the conditions of this Covenant on Mans part how much should the consideration of this mystery of Love and Wisdom lead our anxious desires after attaining unto a large stock of this enriching and confirming Grace and to be endowed with the knowledge of the love of God in Christ Jesus by which poor Believers are not only retrieved from Sin and Wrath but are kept sure in Christs Hand from falling away from God as under the first Covenant John 17.6 to 13. The second branch of Christs Mediatory Office is to be a Priest and the Office of a Priest being to offer up Sacrifice for Sinners we shall consider how this agreeth to Christ and is performed by him the holy Apostle tells us That he that desireth the Office of a Bishop or Teacher desireth a good work 1 Tim. 3.1 And he also tells us that it is so honourable and sacred that no man taketh it to himself but he that is called thereunto as was Aaron Heb. 5.4 And therefore God in displeasure with Uzziah the great King of Israel for intruding into the Priests Office struck him with Leprosy to his death 2 Chron. 26.18 to end But none can claim better or so good a Title to the Priesthood as our great high Priest Jesus Christ who took not that honour to himself but it was given to him of his Father who said to him this day have I begotten thee and thou art a Priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedeck Heb. 5.5 Psalm 110.4 Isa 7.13 14 15 16. And although he was Heir of all things and by whom the World was made and being the brightness of the Fathers glory and express Image of his person he was annointed with the Oil of Gladness above his Fellows Heb. 1.2 3 9. And made the High Priest by the Council of Heaven for Mans Eternal Salvation and as he had this his call immediately from Heaven so he hath it with more transcendent eminency than other Priests in many considerations First The holy Apostle Paul tells us that all Priests taken from amongst Men are compassed about with Infirmities and Sins and as in compassion to others so also for their own as well as for the sins of others they are to offer up Sacrifices Heb. 5.1 2 3. ch 7.23 28. chap. 9.7 but this our great High Priest though in Compassion to us he took our nature upon him and was subject to natural Infirmities and in the Flesh was tempted with like Infirmities to succour such as were tempted yet without sin Heb. 2.16 17 18. chap. 4.15 However he is essentially holy for such an High Priest became us who is holy harmless undefiled separate from Sinners and made higher than the Heavens who needeth not daily as these High Priests to offer up Sacrifice first for his own Sins and then for the People for this he did once when he offered up himself Heb. 7.26 27. Secondly All other Priests are made without an Oath but he with an Oath for those Priests were made without an Oath but this with an Oath by him that said to him the Lord Swore and will not Repent thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedeck and hath an unchangeable Priesthood Hebrews 7.21 24. Thirdly Other Priests are for a time his Priesthood is for ever and unchangeable as in the foregoing Scripture They were many Priests and not suffered to continue because of death but this man because he continueth ever hath an unchangeable Priesthood wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to make Intercession for them for the Law maketh High Priests which have Infirmities but the word of the Oath

A. LONDON Printed by T. S. and are to be sold by John Lawrence at the Sign of the Angel in the Poultry 16●● THE Epistle Dedicatory To the Right Honourable Learned and Religious Sir Thomas Burnet of Leis Knight and Baronett and one of their Majesties most Honourable Privy Council for the Kingdom of Scotland Grace Peace and all Happiness both Temporal and Eternal Right Honourable IT is the Promise of the All-Glorious God to Honour those that Honour him there be four special ways whereby God Honours Men. First When he raiseth them out of nothing worse than nothing yea from the very depth of Hell to a height of Heavenly Honour Happiness and Holiness in Christ Jesus whereby he makes them more Excellent than their Neighbours Prov. 12.26 more Excellent not in degrees only but in kind more Excellent in their Birth for they are Born again of the Word and of the Spirit more Excellent in their Thoughts more Excellent in their Affections more Excellent in their Practices more Excellent in their Lives in Regard of Gods Favour towards them and more Excellent in their Death their Death is sweet to them All True Christians are truly Right Honourable and Truly Royal They are Loyal Subjects and a Royal Priest-hood 1 Pet. 2.9 They are really the lowest yet the highest People Exod. 19.6 Lowest in their own Sense highest in Gods sight Rev. 1.6 and 5.10 Secondly God Honours Men when he gives them Hearts to serve him in a Faithful and Fruitful Subjection to his Will The Service of God is not only Duty but also our Priviledge and Preferment Hence Theodosius Gloryed more in that he was a Servant of Christ than being Emperour of the East Thirdly God Honours Men when he rases Men to places of Eminency above others And makes them Faithful in employing their power for God and Piously prudent in their publick Deportment Fourthly But the highest Honour shall be hereafter in Heaven when the Saints shall be filled brim full with Grace and Glory We cannot Honour God until he hath Honoured us We cannot give glory to God until we have received glory from him because he first Honours us Grace is Glory 2 Cor. 3.18 Sir God hath Honoured your Family with the Truest Honour in Christ Rom. 8.30 Your Ancestors have been Right Honourable for Piety Virtue Religion and Zeal to Gods Glory and God hath made you a Honourable Branch of that Honourable Family and hath given you a Heart to Honour him again Some Families are valued from Antiquity who can pretend Title to Religion or Virtue in themselves or Ancestors but your Honour is truly valuable on both accounts and indeed from Religion and Exemplary practice of Godliness the Blessing on Families and Persons is to be expected Wickedness and Debauchery hath lain so long on some Families as a Moth until they are altogether gangren'd and as the Degeneracy of some Families in Religion and Morals is too too palpable it 's to be likewise feared their Extirpation may be as Conspicuous and it ought to be Matter of Humiliation that Impiety hath been so Predominant without Parallel in the late Reigns From the inexcusable Incouragement at the Helm that the most Considerable Families in these Nations have been Sullyed with the blackest Stains of Vice so that Morality hath been accounted pedantry and Religion Bafouned and Ridiculed And it must be allowed the Glory as well as the Mercy of some who have not been carryed away in such a Deluge And your Honour by the special Conduct of Providence hath been preserved in your integrity as an Exemplary Stock to graft upon for the future Propagation of Religion These following Sheets being a Collection of the private Meditations of a Gentleman Born and Educated in the Kingdom of Scotland near to your Honours Antient Mannor of Crathis In his Solitude when by Providence he was restrained from the Exercise of his Talent in the way of his Profession and Education and only intended for the use of himself and Family But whilst in his Confinement he was visited by some Christian Friends as well of Sacred as Civil Profession and these Sheets coming occasionally to be by them viewed and approved of The Author was Importuned to Print the same as containing many particulars which might tend to the Advancement of Religion But for several Reasons he was Averse as First his then Circumstances could not bear the Charge of the Press Secondly He hath truly observed that the sincere Affections to Religion in Life and Practice is so decayed that whatever is wrote on that Subject unless varnished under the Name of some Author Eminently in Vogue the same is implicitly vilified and he intending not to be known and considering if known his Name might not be Authentick to give Reputation to the Truth of the Writing however valuable in it self Thirdly That as Books are valued not so much for the matter they contain as the Fame of the Author or Patrociny of some Eminent Person he found himself at a loss to whom to Dedicate fearing in this Degeneracy of zeal for God his Dedication might be construed avarice rather than desire of a Patrone These Sheets lying thus in their Swadling-Cloaths and like to perish in Darkness and I being Familiarly acquainted with the Author and finding that in them the most Nervous parts of Practical Relegion were Judiciously Treated and Methodized I was induced from Zeal in Advancing Religion to Solicite the Authors Permission to Publish these Sheets and the rather for what was his Discouragement in want of Patron was my Encouragement that I might Presume upon your Honours Favour on this behalf The Author having appositely Intituled this Treatise The Anatomy of Man as being a Series of the whole State of Man from his Creation to his Eternal Rest in Glory and I having the Happiness to be so well acquainted with your Honours zeal for the Kingdom of Christ and of your Knowledge in
