YOVNG Deane of Winchester Right Worshipfull THe Lord who is the God of order abhorring confusion hath by degrees of light from time to time manifested that hid treasure of his mercy and our comfort fore-shaddowing first by Types then fore-shewing by Prophecies and at last pointing more cleerely and particularly at that Lambe of God by the Baptist his fore-runner So that each age and manner of Reuelation hath had still the cleerer Demonstration of the Messiah who was approching Euen as the earth more and more is illuminate the neerer the Sunnes arising vpon our Horizon is at hand like Noah who first opened the window of the Arke wherein he was then remooued the couering thereof and at last stept forth himselfe This is the Ladder which Iacob saw comming thus downe from Heauen by the seuerall degrees of cleerer and neerer manifestation and the Starry fore-guiding light leading at last to the place where the Babe was but there standing and vanishing without further progresse So that it is a maruell how that the Vaile so long should be vpon the eyes of Israel or the Kall of induration vpon the heart of Iudah but that euen when hee came marking euery plain Prophesie that was foretold of him and seeing the fulfilling of the same in his Person they might haue knowne their King Herod conuocates all the Ecclesiasticall sort and askes where he should be borne and they answere At Bethleem For so it was writteÌ„ there they saw his Humilitie at
his flesh shaue off his hayre after he is discerned by the Priest to be cleane before that hee must enter into the Host and there after must remaine seuen dayes before hee enter into his Tent verse 8 9. Shewing that a rebellious or scandalous person by excommunication separate from the Church becomming penitent must not be againe rashly receiued without euident proofes of his repentance giuen both to Pastor and People 2.

Shee behooued to bee without blemish vpon whom neuer yoke came ibid. Signifying thereby the perfect holinesse of Christ who neuer bore the yoke of sinfulnesse nor was subiect to the Precepts of man Isai. 53. 3. Shee was burned without the Host and her bloud seuen times sprinkled before the Tabernacle of the congregation ver 3. Shewing how Christ should suffer without the Citie and his bloud should be a perfect purging of his Church Heb. 13. 11. 4. She shall be all burned and Cedar wood a Skarlet Lace and Hysop shall bee cast into the fire with her ver 6. Shaddowing how that nothing in Christ is vnprofitable and that through the eternall Spirit by the sheading of his bloud hee should offer vp himselfe wholly without fault vnto God to purge our conscience from dead workes to serue the liuing Lord an vncorrupt life a feruent loue to mankinde and sauoury obedience in all things to his Father accompanying him in his sufferings Ephes. 4. 2. 5. The ashes of this sin-offering was laid vp in a cleane place to be made a Sprinkling Water for the Congregation ver 9. Figuring thereby how the merit of the bloudshed and death of Christ the true Sinne-offering in the Holiest heauens euer recent should be a perpetuall purging and sprinkling water vnto his Church Heb. 9. 13. 6. That person that is defiled by the dead and hath not the same sprinkled vpon him shall bee cut off from Israel verse 13. Whereby was signified that that person that is defiled with the corruption of sinne and hath not the bloud of Christ sprinkled vpon his soule shall likewise bee cut off from the number and inheritance of the Saints Mar. 16. 16. 7. The Priest onely shall sprinkle this water vpon the vncleane person and purge him So it is Christ Iesus onely who doth sprinkle his bloud vpon penitent soules who come vnto him and from him onely is to be expected true pardon of our sinnes Math. 9. 6. The signification of other things looke in the preceding sacrifices The Disparitie THis sprinkling water made of the Ashes of the Heifer sprinkling them that were vncleane sanctified onely as touching the purifying of the flesh but the bloud of Christ who through the eternall Spirit offered himselfe without fault to God purges the conscience from dead workes to serue the liuing God Heb. 9. 13 14. 42. IOSHV A. 1. IOSHVA a Sauiour So was Iesus both in name and in deed Mat. 1. 2. He was the sonne of Nun which is by interpretation Eternall and the seruant of Moses Exod. 24. So was Christ the Sonne of the truely eternall Father and may be said to be Moses seruant in a sort because hee followed after Moses in order and subiected himselfe vnto Moses Law in fulfilling what it commanded or typed Mat. 5. 17. 3. Hee ouercame the enemies of Israel and going before them brought them into the Land of Canaan allotting to each one their portion Iosh. 13. So hath Christ ouercome the enemies of his Church and hath ascended vp on high into the heauens before vs there to prepare a place for each one of vs and to bring vs thither Ioh. 14. 2. 4. Moses beeing dead hee was made the Captaine of Gods people hee leading them to the Land but Ioshua entering them in the Land Deut. 31. 7.

Hee saued Rachabs house that had the Red cord hung out at the window and who receiued his Spyes Iosh. 6. So doth Christ saue the soule of euery penitent sinner that hath true faith in his bloud and the expressiue grace thereof receiuing his Word in their hearts and the Ministers thereof for his cause Isai. 49. 6. 6. Vnder Moses leading the Cloud went before but vnder Ioshua's the same did vanish So in the time of the Law obseurâ—…e and darknesse was but through the light of the Gospell vnder Christ the same did depart Heb. 9. 13. 7. Ieshua was confirmed in his Calling by the diuiding of the waters in Iordan at the presence of the Arke standing therein Iosh. 3. So was Christ in the same Iordan by the diuiding of the heauens and presence of the holy Spirit descending and resting vpon him Math. 3. 8. Hee ledde Israel through those waters vnto Canaan So doth Christ his Chosen through many afflictions and death it selfe vnto heauen Psal. 23. 9. Moses circumcised not the people but Ioshua Iosh. 5. So the Law sanctifieth not but grace through Christ Rom. 8. 3. Heb. 7. 19. 10. Manna ceased vnder Ioshua in Canaan Iosh. 5. 13. So shall our knowledge of Christ by Word and Sacraments cease in that heauenly glory Reu. 21. 23. 11. With the sounding of Rams Hornes by the Leuites the Arke compassing Iericho the high walles thereof fell down and the inhabitants thereof were so ouercome by him Iosh. 6. So by the sound of the Word albeit contemptible in the mouthes of his Ministers Christ humbles the high machinations of mans heart and ouercomes his Aduersaries 1. Io. 2. 14. 12. The earth as the walles of Iericho prostrated it selfe before him the waters as these of Iordan yeelded vnto him and the heauens as the Sunne and Moone by their standing still obeyed him Iosh. 6. 3. 10. So heauen and earth and all things that are therein bow themselues in reuerent obedience vnto the Lord Iesus Phil. 2. 10. 13. Hee made his Captaines tread vpon the necks of the Canaanite Kings after the battell whom hee had ouercome and closed vp before Iosh. 10. So will Iesus doe to all his Chosen at their death but especially at that day of generall Iudgement shall hee make all their enemies Satan sinne and death with all other their foes to be their footstoole whose
power euen in this life and day of battell was abated and confined Psal. 110. 2. 14. He accepted the Gibeonites who humbly intreated peace of him Iosh. 9. So doth Christ accept all penitent sinners who in the time of grace come wisely vnto him Luke 15. 11. The Disparitie IOshua conquered Canaan not only for the people of Israel but also for himselfe in part but Christ Iesus hath purchased that heauenly Canaan only for our sakes hauing had it himselfe before by the right of inheritance He conquest it not by himselfe alone but with the ayde of the Tribes of Israel but Christ hath by himselfe onely purchased that heauenly inheritance he did the one without his owne bloudshed or death but Christ hath not this other without both these hee could not quite expell the Canaanite out of the Land but Christ Iesus hath fully one and all ouercome our enemies 43. Gideon Iudg. 6 7 8. compared 1. GIdeon a Destroyer or Breaker who is called a Iudge and a Sauiour of Israel by miracle confirmed in his Calling So is Christ a Destroyer of his enemies and a Iudge to iudge the cause of his Chosen and to saue and deliuer them whose Calling was confirmed in like manner by miracles Math. 3. 1. Cor. 15. 57. 2. Before the battell with his foes hee is comforted by the Angell and assured of victory So was Christ before his conflict with death and his other aduersaries comforted in his Agony Luk. 22. 3. Hee destroyed the Altar of Baal and erected another vnto the Lord in that same place So hath Christ the worship of Heathenish Idols and by the preaching of the Gospell established in place thereof the true worship of God 4. He offered vp a sacrifice which the Lord by fire from heauen declared to be acceptable So hath Christ offered vp himselfe and wherein the Lord by his voice and Spirit from Heauen likewise hath declared himselfe well-pleased Mat. 3. 5. They who bowed downe on their knees to drinke of the waters were counted vnfit Souldiours for Gideon So they who delight in the pleasures of this world and giue themselues vnto them are as vnfit for Christ Iude 4. 6. Gideon is expounded by his Aduersaries to bee a Barley Cake yet vvhich should ouerturne and throwe downe their Tents So was Christ vilipended by his enemies in the world yet should ouerthrow them at last and subdue them vnto him Psal. 110. 7. By the sound of Trumpet and shining of Lamps out of earthen broken vessels he ouercame his enemies So by the trumpet of his Word and light of the Gospell carried thorow the world by weake instruments hath he confounded his aduersaries 1.

After his victory he seuerely punished the men of Succoth who denied him bread in his extremitie So shall Christ punish those at that Great day who when he was hungry fedde him not when hee hath subdued his enemies and made them all his footstoole Psal. 110. 2. 11. Gideon denied to raigne ouer Israel but interceded for them Iud. 6. 13. So did Christ beeing sought by the people to be a worldly King but intercedeth in Heauen for his Church for euer Heb. 8. The Disparitie GIdeon not without other associates as is said of Ioshua ouercame his enemies but Christ alone without the ayde of any creature ouercame his he was loth a long time to vndergoe that Calling to deliuer Israel but Christ most willingly and readily vndertooke to deliuer mankinde his sonnes after his death were slaine and destroyed but so cannot the children and sonnes of Christ be destroyed their life beeing in his hands and one hayre of whose head cannot fall to the ground without his good will and pleasure He left an Ephod with the people which thereafter induced them to Idolatrie but Christ hath left his Word with his Church to preserue them from the same for euer 44.
