give a far better account of the use and end of all the Mosaical Rites Institutions and Sacrifices than the most learned Rabbins that you have or that your Church ever had and having unvail'd and abolish'd the old he hath superinduc'd new Ordinances and Institutions such as are more easie and intelligible and better suited to the adult state of his Church and people and in this he hath shewed himself a Prophet like unto Moses yea a greater Prophet than he And with this agrees the testimony of the ancient Jews The Author of Sopher Ikkarim thus writes In all that space of time wherein the Prophets follow'd Moses until the ceasing of Prophecy there was none like unto him but hereafter shall arise a Prophet even the Messiah who shall be like him yea a greater Prophet than Moses was Now to close my discourse upon this head let me shew you how the commination contain'd in this Prophecy is fallen upon your people and Nation God doth here threaten that he will require it of him or them who shall not hearken to the words of this Prophet There is evidently a Meiosis in the words that is there is more implyed than is exprest the meaning is that he will utterly destroy or reject such for their disobedience How sadly is this fulfilled in the event Your Fathers who for despising and disobeying the former Prophets were only for a season corrected and chasten'd and after a while delivered again out of their greatest miseries they and their Children for their disobedience to this Prophet are utterly cut off and exterminated so severely hath God required this at their hands R. J. Pray Sir go on Mr. B. I shall add but one description more of the promised Messiah he is in the 5th place described by his great sufferings which he was to undergo in the days of his flesh The Jews as I said before they expected a conquering and not a suffering Messiah nothing could be more contrary to their expectation than a Messiah that should live in a low and mean condition subject to all the miseries of this life and at last to death it self therefore this note or description of him is more fully asserted than all the rest this was more than implied in that first promise or Prophecy where the Lord says that the seed of the serpent shall bruise his heel 'T is worthy of our observation that all the particularities of Christs later sufferings even those that seemed to be most casual were foreknown of God and foretold in his word As now for instance his being betrayed by one of his friends familiars and followers of this David spake as a Type of Christ Psal 41.9 Mine own familiar friend in whom I trusted which did eat of my bread hath lift up his heel against me See further in Psal 55. Again the selling of him for Thirty pieces of silver which was the goodly price he was prized at and the use that this money should afterwards be put to even to make a purchase of a potter this was spoken of by Zachariah chap. 11.12 13 Again the flight of his followers and their forsaking of him was foretold by the same Prophet Zach. 13.7 Awake O sword against my shepherd and against the man that is my fellow saith the Lord of hosts smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered Again the severe and sordid usage he met with by being scourged buffeted and spit upon was also prophesied of Isa 50.6 there the Messiah is brought in speaking after this manner The Lord hath given me the tongue of the learned c. and then it follows I gave my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them that pluckt off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting Again his death was foretold by Daniel that it should be a violent death Dan. 9.26 After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off but not for himself Again his being lifted up upon a Cross that was prefigured and foreteld by Moses when he lifted up the Serpent in the wilderness and by David when speaking in the person of Christ he says Psal 22.14 All my bones are out of joynt Again the piercing of his hands and feet that was spoken of in the same Psalm vers 16 They pierced my hands and my feet And Zachary speaks how the Jews in the last days shall look on him whom they have pierced That passage about their parting his Garments was predicted in the same Psalm vers 18 They parted my garments amongst them and cast lots upon my vesture In that Psalm also you will find a prediction of that cruel mocking and derision that he met withal vers 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn they shoot out the lip they shake the head saying he trusted in the Lord that he would deliver him let him deliver him seeing he delighted in him Yea that bitter cry that came from him upon the Cross is recorded in this Psalm vers 1 My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Yea their giving him Gall and Vinegar to drink that also is forespoken of Psal 69.21 They gave me also gall for meat and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink All these things were done not only to satisfie the lusts and wills of men but to fulfill the Scripture the Word of God There is one place in Isaiah Chap. 53 of that Prophecy that speaks more amply of this subject and indeed it seems rather to be a History than a Prophecy of Christs sufferings It begins with a description of his mean and low condition He shall grow up as a tender plant not as a tall and stately Cedar but as a shrub or tender plant ready to be cropt by every beast and to be trod under by every foot and as a root out of a dry ground this may respect the family of Joseph and Mary out of which he sprang and the low and contemptible condition thereof he was so unsuitable to the expectation of the Jews who lookt for a Messiah as I said before that should be a temporal Monarch shining in outward glory and ruling with visible power and greatness that when he came they hid their faces from him they despised and esteemed him not when they saw him he had no form or comliness for which they should desire him In the next place the Prophet describes his sufferings and afflictions and this he doth in great variety of expressions he speaks of him as a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief who bore our griefs carried our sorrows was smitten of God and afflicted who was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed all we like sheep have gone astray and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth he is brought as a lamb to the
