the tearing sword And yet throughout al not one word of Toleration stil he who chooses the better part and adhears to the unity and purity of Religion goes away with a blessing and the other positively or by consequence loaded with a curse Adam is punished Eve plagued the devil condemned though there was neither man nor woman in the world besides yet would not the Lord away with the breach of his Law the questioning of his fundamentals no toleration in these Sir no liberty no indulgence no by-worship allowed Abel approved Cain banished Isaac chosen Ishmael cast out Noah saved the world drowned Lot delivered and Sodom burnt and so forth over the whole History of that Church you shal find the signals of love towards the one and the tincture of his wrath and indignation cleaving fast to the other The third Church Sir was the National Church called of God by Moses the third Seal opened the third Mystery revealed the Church called the Law proclaimed the third Anathema appended conform to the first plot in every thing except the characters viz. the black horse the pair of ballances intituling on this society the dead and lingring works of the Law much selfishness and home love flowing from the niceness of property and affection to interest occasioning much contempt of the Law of God and neglect of his glory All which you may observe in the constitution of that Church and progress therof First Moses summons it by shewing the people he was come from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to call them to the worship of him who is as Exod. 3.14 Secondly he setleth fundamentals and declares the Law as you may find Exod. 12. from 2. to 21 verse where he instituteth the Passeover and feast of unleavened bread 3ly He addeth the Anathema the Segregetur no stranger shall eat thereof as verse 43. no forraigner no hired servant as verse 45 the penaltie may be easily collected from that of the tabernacle N●mb●● 5 And every stranger that draweth nigh shall surely dye and more fully Deut. 30.15 and 19. See I have set before thee this day life and good death and evill And more clearly he tels the people that if they would fear the Lord and keep his statutes they should be blessed and possess the Land but if otherwise they should perish and be accursed for ever Suffer me to make a little digression it shall be short and to good purpose I hope Sir you know it is and hath been the care nay I may say the ambition of all masters of Arts sciences and societies to reduce these arts sciences and societies to the purest perfection neither is this perfection they aim at let them think what they will an imaginarie one or of their own invention if they do they are in an error no Sir it is that pure and primitive perfection which was in all arts sciences and societies and in which all arts sciences and societies were at the beginning for there is nihil novi inter nos As to that Sir it is impossible to make things better then once they were and it should be every ones care to bring them as nigh to the pattern as they can This was Moses his practise in the beginning of that National Church he studied to have all of one mind that thereby he might reduce this numerous bulk into one body politick one Congregation and consequently have the goods and fortune as one treasurie to serve and uphold the State He wel knew that Dissonantia inter se soepe conveniunt in tertio And that Quaecunque conveniunt in uno tertio conveniunt inter se therfore did he begin with the unity of mind Religion the pole of the State at which all courses though never so different on the line wil meet in the end He wel knew that having once both out of policie and piety conjured them with Religion and made them one there he should easily unite their bodies unite their fortunes and so become master of all The mind ruling the body and the body the Interest All over the constitution of this Church you 'l find this triple unitie commanded and in the progress stil aimed at in case of defection I need cite to you for the first onely the manner of celebrating the Passeover and feast of nleavened bread Exod 12. from 43 upward where First is shown who shall be admitted namely all the house of Israel either by birth or consequence By Birth as the Congregation verse 47. by consequence The circumcised stranger v 48. Secondly to prevent Toleration or any Debate thereabout is declared who shall not be admitted No stranger no forreigner no hired servant ver 43. and 45. No Heretick no Schismatick None but he that wil submit to the bloody law of circumcision Thirdly is shown the manner how this feast was to be celebrated 1. In one house 2. No flesh to be carried without doors 3. No bones broken By all which you see how that first hee 'l have them of one mind in profession acknowledging the one true God and him only of one mind in Worship hee 'l be adored in the accustomed and commanded manner all must be circumcised 2. Hee 'l have them of one body under the name of a Congregation ruled by one Law as ver 49. Thirdly hee 'l have them of one fortune as it were by meeting in one house once every year and eating of one dish together And while they are together hee 'l have them neither to carry flesh without doors nor break a bone shewing he would have no division no Heresies amongst them that he would own no temporary professors no livery-men no pettie worshippers abroad Peremptorily saying no uncircumcised person shal eat thereof No Toleration on any terms This was but a smal comfort to the Libertines whose squeemish and tender stomachs could eat no Lamb with the Congregation of Israel in the house of God and yet perhaps they had an appetite to devour Swines flesh with the Sons of Belial in Bethaven the house of iniquity The second remarkable passage against this Toleration is the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai where you find the command of keeping the Sabbath to be so very strict that the very stranger within the gates is bound thereby This I beleive looks liker compulsion then Toleration The third and singularly observable thing in that Church against Toleration is to be seen in the great and marvellous fabrick of the Tabernacle Let no man think that this was a bare peice of Artifice signifying no more then what was seen It were ridiculous to think that God would have kept Mose● 40 dayes in the Mount only to learn to build an house which any ingenious artist could have learned in one day I suppose from a more unskilful master than was he who taught Moses No it did containe within it the true mystery of all things betwixt Alpha and Omega God had said Ostendam tibi omne bonum And
