filth and purging away blood Spirituall filth and blood Joh. 16. 9 10 11. is the defilement of sinne the Scripture to set out it 's abhomination Psal. 38. 5. 7. comparing it to the things of the greatest Abhorrency to our nature Prov. 13. 5 6. even as that is to the nature of God And this is the second promise Isa. 1. 5 6. that in and by Isa. 64. 6. the Branch of the Lord is here made to them who are written unto life in Jerusalem Ezek. 16. 4. 5. 24. 6. But now least any should suppose that both these are for a season only Hos 8. 8. that they are Dying priviledges Perishing mercies Jewells that may be lost Zech. 13. 1. so that though the persons to whom those promises are made Rom. 3. 13. 2 Pet. 2. 22. are once made Glorious and Comely being in Christ freely accepted yet they may againe become odious in the sight of God and be utterly rejected that being once Washed Purged Cleansed they should yet returne to wallow in their mire and so become wholly defiled and abhominable In the Third place He gives a promise of Perseverance in the two last verses and that expressed with Allusion to the Protection afforded unto the people of the Jewes in the Wildernesse by a Cloude and Pillar of fier which as they were created and Instituted signes of the presence of God so they gave assured protection preservation and direction to the People in all their waies The summe of the whole intendment of the Holy Ghost in these two verses seeming to be comprized in the last words of the Fift and they being a suitable bottome unto the ensuing discourse comprising as they stand in Relation to the verses foregoing the whole of my ayme with the way or method wherein it may conveniently be delivered I shall a little insist upon them Vpon all the glory shall be a defence The words are a Gospell Promise Expressed in Law termes or a New Testament Mercy §. 47. in Old Testament Clothes the subject of it is all the Glory and the thing Promised is a defence over it or uppon it By the Glory some take the People themselves to be intended who are the Glory of God Isa. 46. 13. In whom he will be Glorifyed and who are said to be made Glorious v. 2. But the Pillar of fier and the Cloud lead us an other way As the Protection here Promised must Answer the Protection given by them of olde so the Glory here mentioned must answer that which was the Glory of that People when they had their Preservation and Direction from those Signes of the presence of God in the midst of them It is very true the signe of Gods Presnce among them it selfe and the Protection received thereby is sometimes called his glory Ezek 10. 10. But here it is plainely differenced from it that being afterwards called a defence That which most frequently was called the Glory in the Ancient dispensation of God to his People was the Arke when this was taken by the Philistims the Wife of Phineas calls her sonne Johabod and sayes the Glory is departed from Israell 1 Sam. 4. 2. 22. Which the holy Ghost mentions againe Psal. 78. 61. And delivered his Strength into Captivity and his Glory into his Enemies hand The Tabernacle or the Tent wherein it was placed is mentioned v. 60. He forsooke the Tabernacle of Shiloh the Tent which he had placed among them And the People to whom it was given v. 62. He gave the People over also to the Sword That Arke being the Glory and Strength which went into Captivity when he forsooke the Tabernacle and gave his People to the Sword That this Arke the Glory of Old was a Tipe of Jesus Christ besides the end and ayme of its Institution with its use and place of its abode appears from the Mercy seat or Plate of Gold that was layd upon it which Jesus Christ is expresly said to be Rom. 3. 25 26. compared with Heb. 10. 5. It is he who is the Glory here mentioned not considered absolutely and in his owne Person but as he is made Beauty and Glory unto his People as he is made unto them Righteousnesse and Holynesse according to the tenor of the Promises insisted on before Isa. 45. 25. and this is indeed all the Glory of the Elect of God even the presence of Christ with them as their Justification and Sanctification their Righteousnesse and Holynesse The matter of the Promise made in reference to his Glory and them upon whom it doth abide §. 48. Is that they shall be a defence upon it the word Translated here a defence comes from a root that is but once read in Scripture Deut. 33. 12. Where it is rendred to cover The Lord shall cover him all the day long So it properly signifyes From a Covering to a Protection or a defence is an easy Metaphor a covering being given for that end and purpose And this is the native signification of the word Protego Psal. 17. 8. 36. 7. 57. 1. 63. 7. 121. 5. to defend by covering as Abimelek called Abraham the covering of Sarahs eyes or a protection to her Gen. 20. 16. The Allusion also of a Shade which in Scripture is so often taken for a defence Isa. 30. 2. 49. 2. ariseth from hence This word it selfe is used twice more and in both places signifye a Bridechamber Ezek. 31. 6. c. Psal. 19. 6. Joell 2. 16. From the peace covert and protection of such a place The name of the Mercy seate is also of the same root with this In this place it is by common consent rendered a defence or protection being so used either by Allusion to that refreshment that the Lord Christ the great Bridegroome gives to his Bride in his Banqueting House Cant. 2. 4. or rather in pursuit of the former similitude of the Cloude that was over the Tabernacle and the Arke which represented the Glory of that People Thus this defence or covering is said to be upon or above the Glory as the Cloude was over the Tabernacle and as the Mercy seate lay upon the Arke Adde only thus much to what hath been spoken which is also affirmed in the beginning of the verse viz. That this defence is created or is an immediate product of the mighty Power of God not requiring unto it the least concurrence of Creature Power and the whole will manifest the intendment of the Lord everlastingly to safegarde the Spirituall Gloryes of his Saints in Christ. As there was before shewn §. 49. there are two parts of our Spirituall Glory the one purely Extrinsecall to wit the Love and Favour of God unto us his free and Gracious Acceptation of us in Christ on this part of our Glory there is this defence Created it shall abide for ever it shall never be removed His owne Glory and Excellencies are ingaged
