the work now intended Appearances in fire have been formerly Christ appeared to Moses in a flame of fire Exod. 3.2 The Angell there Interpreters make to be Christ and God led the Jewes in the wildernesse by a pillar of fire Exod. 13.21 And he was in that pillar Exod. 14.24 Christ is likened to fire 1. It 's a shining glorios thing so Christ is glorious John 1.14 We beheld his glory as the glory c. And Titus 2 13. his appearing wil be glorious and so glorious as to lighten the world When men come to judgment they come with some glory and Majestie 2. He is likened to fire to set ●ut his knowledge and discovery of things Fire is of a discovering nature and makes manifest Rev. 1.14 Christs eyes are like a flame of fire they see into every place and here Christ discovers to the Prophet the sinnes of Jerusalem the hidden Abhominations there 3. To shew the active vertue is in Christ fire is a lively and purging thing separating drosse from the precious mettals and Christ is of infinite vertue he distinguisheth between the precious and the vile Mal. 3.1 2. He is like a refiners fire exceeding active and discretive he burns with zeale and jealousie 4. The severe punishment he would inflict upon this people fire notes revenge destruction Psal 18.8 Fire out of his mouth devoured Isa 66.15 16. Fire there notes severe punishment and utter destruction and Christ now would make a finall end of this sinful people he would be a fire unquencheable If they look'd to him upwards they should finde him a fire hee would plead with his Father for their destruction If they looked downewards they should see him kindling a consuming fire amongst them The law was given in fire Deut. 4.33.5.4 and therefore called a fiery law and Christ appears in fire when he comes to revenge the breaches of the law In the first Chap. vers 27. Christs appearance from his loynes upward and downeward is the same here downwards he appeares as fire upwards as brightnesse fire noting his anger brightnesse his clemency as some conceive The word for brightnesse notes such brightnesse as is from the morning the Firmament the Sunne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 therefore some render it As the appearance of the bright Sunne Solis rutili Take the Sun when in it's greatest lustre and glory such was the appearance of Christ upwards and may note the glory of Christ in execution of judgement in giving out his threatnings to the Prophets against sinners As the colour of Amber Of th●s hath beene spoken Chap. 1.4.27 The H●b Chasmal signifi●● a coale intensely hot and ●uch as a coale is at the height of its heat in a fiery furnace such was the appearance of Christ at this time he was in a way of wrath and giving out th eats gainst this people and filled with the fire of zeal and jealousie for the L●rd If the appearance of Christ be fiery glorious Obser the presence of him will be so much more appearances are not perfect expressions of that they resemble The appearance of fire upon the Tabernacle Num. 9.15 had not that vertue and glory in it which reall fire had If reall it would have consumed the Tabernacle The appearance of lightning Dan. 10.6 is not so glorious as lightning it selfe and what the Prophet saw here of Christ was appearance onely little to that is in Christ When Christ shall really be seene not in visions but as hee is he will be very glorious Mar. 13.26 When Christ comes it will be with great power and glory Great refers to glory as wel as power Matth. 24.30 There it 's with power and great glory And if you demand how great even so great as cannot be greater Matth. 16.27 He shall come in the glory of his Father and no glory can exceed that VERSE III. And he put forth the forme of an hand and tooke me by a looke of my head and the Spirit lift me up between the earth and the heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem to the doore of the inner gate that looketh towards the North where was the seate of the image of jealousie which provoketh to jealousie IN the former verse you had Christs person described in this are his actions commended to us which are these 1. The putting forth of his hand 2. The employment thereof By it he tooke our Prophet by a locke 3. The lifting him up between Heaven Earth by his Spirit 4. The bringing him to JERVSALEM where is considerable 1. The manner of his bringing In the visions of God 2. The speciall place He was brought to the doore of the inner gate that looketh towards the North. 3. The nature of this place It was the seate of an Image which is described 1. From its name An image of jealousie 2. From the effect It provokes to jealousie He put forth his hand He that appear'd like fire that had such brightnesse and was so glorious he put forth his hand sent out his hand is the Originall Not a reall hand but the former likenesse of a hand It was the likenesse and appearance of a man that he saw and such was the hand here not a substantiall fleshy hand And tooke me by a locke of mine head By the haire the word signifies 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that which growes out of the head flourisheth there as grasse out of the ground or boughs out of a tree The Spirit Lift me up between c. It was said the hand took hold of him did not the hand lift him up If not to what end tooke it hold That hand was the holy Spirit of Christ which in these visions of Ezek. is oft called a hand Chap. 1.3 3.14 The Spirit that lifted him up is called the hand of the Lord because Christ by his Spirit doth what ever the hand of man can doe And brought me in the Visions of GOD to Jerusalem The Prophet thought himselfe like a Bird or an Angel flying through the Aire and carryed to Jerusalem this was no reall elevation or corporeall transportation of the Prophet to Jerusalem as will appear thus 1. It 's said it was the forme of a hand the likenesse of one not a hand it selfe 2 Had be been really taken up by a lock it would have been exceeding grievous and tormenting to him if not deadly 3. He saith he was brought in the visions of God to Jerusalem not in the reality of his person all was done as he sate in his house and the Elders of Judah before him The Antients say it was in his spirit not in his body that he was translated a mentall not an ocular vision Our Prophet being in a rapture or extasie seem'd as a man dead and had secret things revealed unto him which he cals visions of God Whether these were to his spirit in the body or called out of it is uncertain 2

vision had not the Prophet seen it again he might have do●bted whither such strange things had been reall or no but now seeing all again he was assured of the reality of them and therefore vers 20. he saith this is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar and I knew that they were the Cherubims Obser 1. To see and hear the same things again is not dammage but advantage to the servants of God Ezekiel seeth the same vision he saw before the same wheels and same Cherubims and commeth thereby to more distinct knowledge of them to fuller certainties of particulars all things are not seen or understood at first therefore a second sight and second hearing of the same thing may be needfull Man is apt to doubt ready to mistake things backward to practise and therefore God gives in truths and visions double oft times that so he may help our weaknesse prevent mistakes provoke us to practise you have the same truths oft in the Psalms in the Prophets in the Gospels which serve to strengthen and comfort Paul tels the Philippians that to write the same things as it was not grievous to him so it was safe for them Chap. 3.1 it 's likely they affected variety and novelty slighting wholsome and ordinary truths a common disease of all times when they had Manna they loathed it they would have h●d change and something new but Paul intimates there was danger in that novellous humour and therefore saith it was safer for the Philippians to hear the same things again and again to hear them preached to have them written and Pet. tels those he writ to that he would not be negligent to put them alway in remembrance of those things they knew 2 Pet. 1.12 16. The 16. verse hath been spoken of Chap. 1. vers 19 20 21. where the going lifting up and standing of the creatures and wheels was handled Here is a little difference from what is there and that in two things 1. Is of the Cherubims there it 's said when they were lift up from the earth here it is the Cherubims lift up their wings to mount up from the earth and so by their wings were lifted up The 2d difference is concerning the wheels in the 1. Chap. It 's said they were lifted up over against them here it is the same wheeles also iurned not from beside them It 's the same thing in divers phrases when the Cherubims were lift up the wheeles that were against their sides were also lifted up and turned not any way but went along beside them which way soever they went The Cherubims had their free motions and did the will of God readily and the wheels followed their ducture and went no other way then they would have them Inferiour causes are acted and led by the superiour when the Cherubims went the wheels went when they were lifted up these attended them No creature moves here below without a guide 17. The 17. verse you have in a manner word for word Chap. 1. vers 21. shews there is a dependency and conveniency of causes one upon and with another the motions and stations of inferiour things of all the wheels depends upon the higher viz. the Angels when they stand or move so do these The spirit of the living creature Heb. The spirit of life was in them The spirit of God is in all creatures and acts in and by them Obser 1. it doth not only support all by divine vertue but is present in all sets all wheels a running stops all at it's pleasure orders and moderates all their motions and operations The spirit of life was in the wheels and in the Cherubims There is no publique or private agent rationall or irrationall creatures used in the motions of the world but the spirit is in them all the spirit was at the creation of all Gen. 1.2 Job 26.13 and the spirit is in the operations of all 1 Cor. 12.11 What ever gifts men have it s the spirit works them and works in and by them And so in the other creatures what ever vertues qualities instincts dispositions operations they have the spirit of life wrought them in them and works by them This may quiet our spirits whatever is done in the world by the creatures however the wheels move they move not of themselves but the spirit is in them moves them 2. The stands and motions of Cherubims and wheeles are neither disorderly nor unseasonable they stop they stir at the dictates of the spirit of life which is in them and that spirit is a spirit of wisdome appointing nothing to be done disorderly or unseasonably When great stops are made on publique or more private businesses when they seem to us to goe backward crosse to be untimely it 's the spirit of life that is in and acteth by the second causes and who may with safety blame the spirit of God for stopping or turning the wheels the times of the Spirit in all providentiall things are most seasonable and act most orderly 3. We should not terminate our thoughts upon second causes but look up to the supream over-ruling cause here the Prophet is led up to the spirit he doth not look at the Cherub wheeles standing or moving only but his eye is higher it 's upon the spirit of life that was in them we are apt to look at that instrument or cause is next us in present view and there to terminate This is a great evill to eye the creature and forget God it 's his spirit that acts in the wheels and if we take not notice of it how can we be thankfull when the creature is instrumentive of good to us how patient when it 's instrumentive of hurt to us If the creature smite and damnifie you it 's the spirit of life in that creature which set it on work and if it profit and please you it was the same spirit mov'd it to doe so Many are so blind that they see nothing of the spirit in any wheel or in any motion VERS 18 19. Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house and stood over the Cherubims And the Cherubims lift up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out the wheels also went beside them and every one stood at the doore of the East-gate of the Lords house and the glory of the God of Israel was over above them THese verses contain a farther removall of the glory in the 9. Chap. 3. verse there was one removall from the Cherub to the threshold A 2d is in this Chap. vers 4. where it 's said the glory went up and stood over the threshold A 3d in this vers where we have 1. The terminus a quo from whence it departed from the threshold of the house 2. Terminus ad quem it stood over the Cherubims The Jewes thought themselves safe while the Temple stood God dwelt there

and would preserve it and the City from all evills and all enemies what could other Nations doe to them being without God and what should they fear seeing they had God shut up in their Temple were perswaded that he would never leave them This foolish conceit undid them for they observ'd not the Lord to worship him purely and only according to his will and rules given them but defil'd the Temple with all abhominations and constrain'd the Lord to leave them therefore saith the Prophet Then the glory of the Lord departed off the threshold When he saw their vain confidence notwithstanding all their pollutions that they took no warning by his Prophets observ'd not his judiciary threatnings and proceedings repented not of their evill wayes continued still the same having told them of his departure from them and begun it I have spoken before oft concerning the glory of the Lord Chap. 8.4.9.3 in the 4 vers of this 10. Ch. and therefore now shall not need to enlarge S●nct thinks that the glory had not left the Cherubims but only was hid from the eyes of the Prophet by the cloud and that he makes the departure of the glory from the Cherub but this is clouding of the Text which saith the glory of the Lord was lifted up from the Cherub and stood over the threshold The Cherubims were not at the threshold but at the right side of the house vers 3. and here in this 18. vers The glory departed from off the threshold of the house and stood over the Cherubims In Isa 6.2 it s said the Seraphims there stood above the Throne and here the glory and Throne were over the Cherubims Some make these distinct visions the one being of Seraphims the other of Cherubims they having six wings these 4. and then they being above and the Cherubims under here is no opposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Others think it the same vision and then here is a difficulty the Seraphims are above the Cherubims under the throne of glory Musc The words in Isa above it by the Sept. are turned 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in circuitu ejus they compassed the Throne about Rabbi Kimchi hath it near him before his face They were not above their Lord and Master but seemed to stand above to the Prophets eye who represents them as they appeared to him Some render the Heb. word juxta by or nigh as Exod. 16.3 When we sate by the flesh-pots not above or upon them so Psal ●4 2 Hee hath founded the earth upon the seas It 's a hard speech nigh the seas is better And Psal 137.1 By the waters of Babylon we sate downe The Hebrew word is the same juxta not supra they sate not upon but by them so here the Seraphims were not above but by about the Throne The glory departed from the threshold of the house the threshold of the Priests Court to the doore of the East-gate where the Cherubims stood The East-gate was the gate of the Court where the people met the outward gate at which they came in and prayed with their faces west-ward Observ 1. How unwilling the Lord is to depart and leave that people he hath dwelt amongst and been ingaged unto he had taken in this people to be his and now though they had provoked him bitterly by their Idolatry in his worship and by oppression in the State and had great cause to have left them utterly at once yet see how he goes away in a graduall manner step by step this was the 3d or 4th step he had taken hee was before remov'd to the side of the Temple and then from within the Temple to the threshold and now he steps to the East-gate expecting that upon every step they should have been affected and us'd meanes to have kept the Lord from departing from them He looked that they should have repented of their evill ways purged their Temple from false gods and worship have executed justice and shewed mercy to the afflicted and walked in his wayes and then he would not have left them 2. No visible Church but may fall and cease to be Here was the only visible Church in the world and the glory departed from it and quickly it became no Church The 7. Churches of Asia were famous visible Churches and is not their glory long since departed from them No visible Church but may cease it's being all the Churches in Judea are dead and buried in obscurity meetings of Gods people may cease Ordinances Ministers and Administrations may all be taken away and so the visibility of the Church I doe not say visible Saints shall all faile but visible Churches may the glory may depart from them the signs of his presence and grace may leave them God is not tyed to any place to any people but if they corrupt his worship he may with-draw Hee did depart from Jerusalem from the Temple and they were unchurched 3. When the Lord goes from a people then the protection and benefits they have by the Angels goe away when the glory departed then the Cherubims mounted up from the earth they would not stay to comfort guide protect that people which had driven away their Lord and Master seeing he left them they would leave them also One evill followed another When the Sun is in Apogaeo gone from us we have short dayes and long nights little light but much darknesse and when God departs you have much night and little day left your comforts fade suddenly and miseries come upon you swiftly When God and his Angels goe from a Church the Dragon and his angels get in when mens inventions prevail they are subject to all woes and miseries Hos 9.12 Wee to them when I depart from them Let us take heed wee cause not the glory to depart from us then the Angels that are present at our sollemn and publique meetings will leave us they will not pitch their Tents about us any longer Jer. 6.7.8 As a fountaine casteth out her waters so shee casteth out her wickednesse violence and spoile is heard in her before me continually is griefe and wounds Be thou instructed O Jerusalem lest my soule depart from thee lest I make thee desolate a land not inhabited Be we instructed to cease from wickednesse violence spoile else God will depart from us Angels leave us and both be against us 4. God would have men take notice of his departure the Cherubims stood at the doore of the East-gate and there the glory stood over them that gate was so seated in Mount-Sion that they might see the entrance by it from most parts of the City and here the glory now stood it was come forth from the Temple and now expos'd to publique view that they might enquire what was the matter use all meanes to recover the glory was going VERS 20 21 22. This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Isral by the river of Chebar and I knew

Sight of the glory of God is a great priviledge it 's not for every one to see Ezekiel he saw it not all in Babylon not all the Elders who were in the house with him Ungracious unbelieving spirits see not Divine glory Iohn 1.14 We beheld his glory not others We that received of his fulnesse of his graces we had the favour and the power to behold his glory Many saw Christs miracles but not his glory h●ld out by them Iohn 2.11 When the water was turned into wine Christ manifested his glory which the Disciples saw not others they believed And Christ told Martha if shee believed she should see the glory of God Iohn 11.40 Faith is the eye of the soule and God shewes his glory in Christ to that eye 3. That whithersoever God cals a man hee can shew him his glory at the River Chebar he had seen it in the Plain also and now at Ierusalem which abounded with Idolatry VERS 5 6. Then said he unto me sonne of man lift up thine eyes now the way towards the North so I lift up mine eyes the way towards the North and behold North-ward at the gate of the Altar this Image of jealousie in the Entry He said furthermore unto me sonne of man seest thou what they doe even the great abhominations that the house of Israel committeth here that I should goe farre off from my Sanctuary but turne thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abhominations IN these and the following verses are gradually set out the great abhominations of the Jewes at Jerusalem Their wickednesse was not positive onely but superlative of the highest nature Besides the Appellation sonne of man the fifth verse hath in it 1. Christs commandment Lift up thine eyes 2. The Prophets obedience So I lift up mine eyes 3. The thing seene The image of jealousie 4. Tha place where At the gate of the Altar in the Entry Lift up thine eyes This phrase imports a through view an exact notice of things Gen. 13.10 Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain of Iordan that it was well watered every where He diligently considered the place and commodities of it Isa 49.18 Lift up thine eyes round about and behold That is Consider well how all that gather against thee shall be for thy good The lifting up of the eyes notes a distinct and fuller observation of things and so here Ezekiel be not remisse and carelesse in the viewing of things but lift up thine eyes open them fully observe exactly what is before thee This you must take to be meant of the eyes of his mind not his body for he was in an extasie in the Spirit at Ierusalem not in the flesh At the gate of the Altar No gate was so called originally but after Ahaz had corrupted the worship of God by his Altar from Damascus fixed an Altar by that gate and brought the Lords Altar thither 2 Kin. 16.14 It 's conceiv'd here upon this gate was called the Altar-gate there was an Altar for Baal and a mis-plac'd Altar for God If we will rightly discerne the corruption in worship Obser 1. distinguish between what is humane and what is divine wee must set the eyes of our minds a work they must be lift up be open and intent to the thing There is great difference between the externall view and judgement of the flesh and between the internall view and judgement of the spirit This Baaliticall Altar doubtlesse was glorious outwardly as false worship is Jeroboams Calves were golden ones 1 Kings 12.28 and affected the eys stole away the hearts of many but it was loathsome to the eye of a judicious considering minde Gods worship was hindered defiled by it his jealousie provoked and their ruine procured by it The Popish Religion is pompous and to carnall eyes hath beauty in it but to those that lift up the eyes of their mind and well consider it 's superstitious idolatrous and abhominable some have called the Ceremonies used lately in our worship Innocent but those examine them well found them Nocent the seed of contention snares to conscience and flyes in our precious oyntment John 7.24 Judge not hence-forth according to outward appearance but judge righteous judgement See exactly into things let the eyes be lift up and so shal you passe a more judicious sentence How pompous was our worship become lately but since eyes have been lift up the vanity corruption and superstition thereof hath appeared 2. They may safely observe examine the nature and sinfulnesse of false worship who have a call unto it The Lord Christ he bids Ezekiel behold the Image of Jealousie See what the People did there the Prophet did not willingly lift up his eyes but at command and being lawfully cal'd to it there was no danger of being seduc'd of bowing to Baal of countenancing false worship God keeps those are in the way he sets them Had the Prophet out of curiosity and desire to see this Altar this Image gone to Jerusalem he might have been ensnared as too many of our Nation by going to Rome having no better ground than an itching desire to see and know what 's done there Romish worship hath inveigled them Jesuitical charmes bewitched them lost they have both truth and innocency their consciences have been defiled and their judgments prejudiced against those wayes they were formerly acquainted with If the spirits of some have beene

Gods judgements are cal'd his hand 1 Pet. 5 6. his mighty hand and if that fall upon any it will break them to pieces 3. The fruits of Gods displeasure are very grievous First they are shut out from the assemblies of Gods people they shall have no communion with the Saints those are deare to God All Davids delight was in them Psal 16.3 and when he was a little put by comming at the Assemblies of Gods people how did it trouble and afflict him Psal 42.1 2 3 4. As the Hart panteth after the water bra●kes so panteth my soule after thee O God My soule thirsteth for God for the living God when shall I come and appeare before God My teares have been my meat day and night while they continually say unto me Where is thy God When I remember these things I p●wre out my soule in me for I had gone with the multitude I went with them to the house of God So in the 84. Psalme how did he long for communion with God and his people in the Sanctuary his soule longed and fainted for the Courts of the Lord his heart and flesh cryed out for the living God Vers 2. he counted a day in the Lords Courts better then a thousand he had rather be a doore keeper there then a favorite in Sauls house David knew there was much good to be had in the assemblies of Gods people and therefore he prized them so and was impatient of absence from them In the assemblies men have communion with God there his glory is seen Psal 29.9 In his Temple doth every one speake of his glory Psal 68.24 They have seene thy goings O God in the Sanctuary There his wisedome his power his mercy his truth his glory are evidenced the treasures of his grace opened and dispensed spirituall life begotten and maintained drooping soules are comforted raysed ravished there we admire adore magnifie and glorifie God there we heare of our duty towards God and man there we have fellowship with the Saints interest in their affections gifts graces counsels comforts admonitions exhortations and prayers in the Assemblies of Gods people you have the presence of God of Christ the spirit and the Angels 1 Cor. 11.10 and what a soar judgement is it to be shut out from these assemblies blesse God for your liberties be thankfull for all the good you have in the Assemblies and walke so that you may honour truth and the God of Assemblies 4. Many that in their owne and the Worlds esteeme goe for true Prophets Saints will be in Gods time discovered to be Lyars Hypocrites false themselves thinke and others also that they are written in the writing of the house of Israel in the Book of life but their names were never there The Jewes sayd they were Abrahams seed God their Father but they were found false they were of their Father the Devill VERS 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. Because even because they have seduced my people saying Peace and there was no peace and one built up a wall and loe others dawbed it with untempered morter Say unto them that dawb it with untempered morter that it shall fall there shall be an overflowing showre and yee O great Hail-stones shall fall and a stormy wind shall rent it Loe when the wall is falne shall it not be sayd unto you Where is the daubing wherewith yee have daubed it Therefore thus saith the Lord God I will even rent it with a stormy wind in my fury and there shall be an overflowing showre in mine anger and great Hailestones in my fury to consume it So will I breake downe the wall that yee have daubed with untempered morter and bring it downe to the ground so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered and it shall fall and yee shall be consumed in the midst thereof and yee shall know that I am the Lord. Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the Wall and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter and will say unto you The Wall is no more nor they that daubed it To wit the Prophets of Israel which prophesie concerning Jerusalem and which see visions of peace for her and there is no peace saith the Lord God THE words before you present to us two things 1.
