they must end as indeed they did begin with the world Yet since a multitude of men led on by those who with most applause subtily strike at Moses through Aarons sides who are in themselves more equall to the Regal Power doe not at all take into their thoughts the poor despised Priesthood or if they doe they thinke it rotten together with Aarons in the same grave Let me have leave onely to lay downe few Grounds for that whose fuller proofe belongs unto another place 24. That the Platforme of that Government which should be in the Church on Earth is set us in the Church in Heaven and the onely Exemplification thereof in the Book of GOD is the formal Rule which all Ages must apply themselves unto of which the Legal Institutes were the transitory Shadow the Evangelical the more substantial Image the Celestial the eternal Verity as Heb. 10. 1. Of which hereafter 25. That the Priesthood of Aaron is not Dead but Changed as these our bodies and the Corn to multiply the same Grain since it was honoured with the Name of Elohim and Vnction and withall with the Promise of Perpetuity in sundry places of Scriptures Particularly these two last conjoyned together Num. 18. 8. And againe the Lord spake unto Aaron Behold I have given thee the keeping of my Offerings of all the Hallowed things of the Children of Israel I have given them unto thee for the Anointings sake and to thy Sons by an everlasting Ordinance Since also Priesthood was a Twin of the same womb with Regality Born with the World it self and went along with the First-born in all Successions untill GOD thought sit to separate them by selecting a peculiar Tribe in stead of the First-born Num. 3. 45. before which time it is apparent unto all that is Understanding that they were united as in the Person of Melchisedec 26. In whose Priesthood briefly and onely was the Precellency of the Christian Deputy of Christ therein but pointed at in its perpetuall Patrimony to wit Tythes in his Benediction of him who was the Father of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Levi In the Antiquity of our grand Sacrament preceding Levi's birth 14. 18. He brought forth Bread and Wine for for Vau is causal there as necessarily elswhere in Scripture he was a Priest of Ghnelion the most High God Gen. 30-27 who is called by that Name with relation to those in Subordination under him 27. The Preceptive Exemplification of personall Order for the Church of God on Earth derived from the Constitution of his Church in Heaven is no where described but in the three Orders of Aarons Priesthood according to these did our Saviour and his Apostles most exactly Form the Christian Triplicity of Bishop Priest and Deacon under the Gospel which coming from the Law and being ratified in the Gospel as shall be fully manifested is an evident Argument of its for ever Inalterability And especially since it was done without further precept it is easily visible that there needed none it being a point of most high concernment For at the Churches Foundation the Materials being provided nothing could be so necessary as the choyce of Builders and the Application of them to their severall Taskes the Master Builder being the eternall God one and the same for ever whose Ends were the same when he built the private Synagogue which now are for the Catholick Church whose Wisdom is no elder now then it was at that time whose Workmanship in this particular of these three Orders hath stood till this Age throughout all Christendome without either Renovation or Innovation Nor did the Primitive Church arriving at a flourishing Subsistency designe a new Order when answerable to Aaron who Typified Christ before he came they decreed semblably to represent him being come by Archbishops or Patriarchs which was onely to keep in Order what the Apostles had ordered Whereupon my fifth Quaere is How without the danger of Korah's Punishment the People or Inferior Magistrates or Ministers may assume unto themselves or Violate the Power of the Name of Elohm given away from them to the Ordinary Supreme Gods immediate Deputy overy them in relative Opposition to them I confesse that the Power which Moses had with relation to Pharaoh was indeed Extraordinary and that in respect of the Power it self for that God had given the Name of Elohim and by consequence the Ordinary Supreme Power thereof unto Pharaoh I confesse secondly that the Power of Dominion which Moses had over Aaron and all the rest of Jesurun his Subjects was extraordinarily given for he had it not by the Ordinary Title of Primogeniture but by the Donation of Him who only hath Power to transfer those Powers which are his and to create Titles But so far as concerns our Question in consideration of the Power it self it was ordinary Which I thus prove That Power which Moses by the virtue of Gods Donation and the Name of Elohim had over Aaron over his seventy and two Inferior Judges and all the People of Israel in commune with all other Kings who have indifferently that Name of Power communicated unto them by the Donation of God over all their Liege Subjects Was in regard of the Power it selfe Ordinary and not Extraordinary But the Power of not to be Invaded or Resisted Jurisdiction and all other the Rights of Majesty now in Question amongst us Moses by virtue of Gods Donation and the Name of Elohim had over Aaron over his seventy and two Inferior Judges and all the People of Israel in commune with all other Kings who have indifferently that Name of Power communicated unto them by the Donation of God over all their Liege Subjects Therefore the Power of not to be Invaded or Resisted Jurisdiction with all other the Rights of Majesty now in Question amongst us which Moses had c. was in regard of the Power it selfe Ordinary and not Extraordinary Secondly from the Inferiority of the High Priests Power and Title That Power and Title which the High Priest the next under the Prince though Head of a distinct Order had from God with relation to those under his Jurisdiction but never had it with relation to his Prince under though not from whom he had his Power and Title but had an Inferior Power and Title to wit of Angel in relative Opposition to him No man or men in relation to such a One may presume to challenge But the Power and Title of Elohim the High Priest viz. Aaron the next under the Prince though Head of a distinct Order had from God with relation to those under his Jurisdiction but had not with reference to his Prince under though not from whom he had his Power and Title but had an Inferior Power and Title in relative Opposition to him Therefore the Power and Title of Elohim in relation to the Prince no man or men may presume to challenge Thirdly concerning the dangerous hainousnesse of deserting our

herein and particularly the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of several of their Princes who in aftertimes proved to be all the GODS they knew of 19. But now alas the World is run upon the other Extreme so far from making of false GODS that they will despoile the true GOD. Those whom he appointed to be Ruled wil Rule The People whom GOD made to be the Material Object of Dominion Passive make themselves Active to be Efficients of that which GOD made before hand to make them Subject unto Efficients said I Alas Destroyers of that which GOD intended for their Preservation Their Preservation which being an Act no lesse Divine then that of their Creation they are no more able to performe to themselves then they were when they were nothing to Create themselves and may as well endeavour to appoint them new GODS as to appoint GOD new Deputies who onely hath Power to appoint those who shall Execute his Power and onely hath Title to give them Lawes for the Execution of that Power which is onely His and whose care is not the Least for that which is on Earth the Greatest 20. These his Lawes his own Reports most justly and truly will Expound The first of my Particulars shall be the Case of Moses and Aaron the first that appeared with GODS Authorities by his Commission diverted from the First-born CHAP. V. The Contents A Recapitulation of what had been formerly proved Kingship while we are on Earth Superior to Priesthood Exod. 4. 16. Expounded The Name of Elohim communicated hath relation to Inferiors Angel to Superiors The High Priest honoured with the Appellation of Elohim Exod. 22. 28. Expounded by Act. 23. 5. The acknowledgement of Constantine thereupon And the judgment of St Cyprian All Kings indifferently dignified with the Name of Elohim Inferior Magistrates receive both Title and Power from their Kings Unction an evidence of Divine Power Christ himself not Anointed but in the Persons of his Predecessors and Successors Korah's Rebellion and Doom How far it did go and doth reach Aarons Priesthood not Dead but Changed 1. FRom what is before set down appears that all Power is Gods especially the Power of Dominion it being his Prerogative Royal in which all Powers of the same Alloy Originally are and from which all that are Legal are by his Grant upon Record dispensed That no Titles thereunto can be sufficient without Gods particular Donation which way that is already passed by that God who is not double-tongued I have proved Also by the largenesse of his Patent whose very immediate Power the King hath That that must be Divine which is by man unquestionable which cannot be made unjust though unjustly used unto which man must submit though it be unjustly used That in the Beginning both the High Powers Regal and Sacerdotal descended not by Virtue or Election but by Right of Primogeniture which Descent the Spirit of GOD cals Mishpat or the General and Just Law The meane of Conveighance to be further manifested hereafter I pointed at to wit the Likenesse of Elohim and his Image and the different Proportions of their Communication Also the signification of the words Shuk and Mashal in which by the Law of God as the Apostle calls it attested in the unalterable Gospel both the said Powers were decyphered and mine Interpretation asserted That in the Epitome both of the Church and Kingdome to wit Family other Forms of Government are intolerable much more in that wherein the Glory of Gods Image is more highly concerned That both the Powers abovesaid are Gods and not Mans by the Impression which they make upon the Soule which upon Earth hath neither Father nor Lord but descendeth immediately from the Breath of God to whose sole Regiment it appertaineth and can receive Lawes from none but Him 2. I proceed to this Name of Power to wit Elohim which also is untakable by any without Gods Donation without his operative word Amar Elohim hath said they are Elohim then forthwith so said so done 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 they to whom he imparteth it are to be honoured as taken in into the communion of Elohim for the distribution of Gods Justice amongst other men who were virtually Created by God under this Name of Elohim 3. My first Record shall be as I said of Moses and Aaron When Reuben was abdicated from the Benefit and Privilege of this universal Law by God the absolute Father of Mankind who onely hath no Superior to Account unto for this Disherison inspiring to this end his Father Jacob and the Dividing and Scattering of Simeon and Levi in Jacob and Israel was by the same unquestionable Justice decreed yet so that Levi for Causes not apparent was designed for both the Privileges for a while but to the Priesthood for ever God first resolves the Regal Power to Moses to shew that he will have that esteemed the greater by the said Firstnesse and afterwards the Sacerdotal to Aaron who was the elder Brother to signifie that indeed the Priesthood is of the Elder House but while we are here on Earth where that is not first which is Spiritual but that which is Natural where Dominion was not designed for GODS Likenesse but for his Image as shall be proved it is to be in subjection to the more proper Power in as much as it is Earth and not Heaven where as yet we enjoy an unfixed abode 3. Therefore Exod. 4. 16. Thou to wit Moses shalt be to him to wit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Aaron Elohim or GOD. And in the beginning of the Verse He to wit Aaron shall be thine Angel unto the People which is expressed Exod 7. 1. See I have made thee Elohim or GOD unto Pharaoh and Aaron thy Brother shall be thine Angel or Prophet That the holy Angels are dignified with this Name of Elohim though not absolutely yet relatively is plain by the attestation of Saint Paul Heb. 1. 16. And let all the Angels of GOD worship him Which words have relation to that of Psal 97. 7. Worship him Col-Elohim all 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that are called by this Name of Elohim or GODS which as concerning the Rational Angels is as much as to say Performe your Reasonable Service to him who is the Original Elohim you Spirits who are under him adopted into that Name of Power as Administrators of his Power and Justice over those above whom you are by him designed 4. Yet so that whosoever is so named or compared to an Angel with reference to those who have GODS Power above them is notwithstanding Elohim to all those whom GOD hath constituted under him As the woman though Created after the Image of GOD also in respect of and comparatively to her Husband hath not the honour of being the Image of Elohim but must be in subjection as unto him Ephes 5. 22. and is likened to the Angels in that she exerciseth Authority onely by her Husbands Commission as 1 Cor.
