People of whom the Messiah was to be expected 2dly The double Dream of the Patriarch Joseph Gen. 37.5 c. which was expounded by Joseph's Brethren ver 8. and his Father ver 10. very agreeable to the Event of the thing as Chap. 41. and the following Chapters 3dly The Dream of Daniel of the four Beasts that came out of the Sea Dan. 7 3 c. which were Types of the four Monarchies of the World viz. the Babylonian Persian Grecian and Roman c. To the latter Class belong 1. The Dream of Pharaoh King of Egypt Gen. 41 of the fourteen Cows and the fourteen Ears of Corn by which the future State of Egypt and the neighbouring Country with respect to Fertility and the scarcity of Corn is prefigured as Joseph himself expounds it Chap. 41.25 c. and is evidenced by the Event ver 47 54 c. 2. The double Dream of Nebuchadnezzar the first is described Dan. 2.29 Dan. 2.29 c. viz. of the great large splendid terrible Image of a Man whose Head was Gold his Breast and Arms Silver Belly and Sides Brass Legs Iron Feet part Iron part Clay and of the Stone hewen out without hands which brake them to pieces becoming afterwards a great Mountain By which typical and symbolical Image the four universal Kingdoms or Monarchies of the Earth are again shadowed or adumbrated as the Prophet himself expounds it Dan. 2.37 and the following Verses But by the Stone cut or hewn out without hands the spiritual Kingdom of the Messiah is denoted which when these Monarchies were in being began to lift up or erect it self but at length whatsoever shall remain of the said Kingdoms he will break in pieces and consume ver 44. So much of Visions which appeared to Men asleep Such as appeared to Men awake are of a twofold kind but of the manner of Appearance viz. whether with Extasy or without is not our work to dispute at present viz. some have the Exposition or Interpretation of the Types and Symbols annexed and some have not Prophetical Visions ap●earing to Men awoke Jer. 24 1 2. c. Visions of the first sort are to be also differenced forasmuch as the Interpretation of the Vision is taken either from the thing it self or from its Appellations or Terms and so it is by an allusive Reason Of the first sort are the Visions of Jeremy Chap. 24. of the two Baskets of Figs good and bad by the good Figs the Restauration of the Jewish and Christian Church which was to come is prefigured and by the bad Figs the carrying away of Zedekiah and the People of Israel into Captivity is also prefigured as it is expounded in the fifth and the following Verses Ezek. 8.9 10 11. The 8 9 10 and 11 Chapters of Ezekiel agree in the Description of the same Vision of the Prophet which had four parts the first part of the Vision obumbrates the Wickedness of the Jews which remained at Jerusalem Chap. 8. The second figures out the Destruction of the Citizens in the very City except those whom God had mark'd as Chap. 9. The third prefigures the Fire by which is denoted the flaming Anger and Indignation of the Lord who by Plague and Famine afflicted the Inhabitants before the taking of the City and after its taking utterly burnt and destroyed the whole City with the Temple and hence the Glory of the Lord departed as Chap. 10. The last denotes the Persecution and Ruine of those that escaped the Burning and Destruction of the City as Chap. 11. So Chap. 37. ver 1. and the following Verses there is a Vision of Bones made alive again and reduced to their former State by the Immission of the Spirit by which the Restitution of the Jews and the Deliverance of the Universal Church its Resurrection from Death and its eternal Glory is adumbrated or shadowed forth as appears ver 11 23. with the Verses immediately following both places The Vision in the 8th of Daniel of the two horned Ram and of the He-Goat with one horn is expounded by Gabriel ver 19. to relate to the Kings of Media Persia and Greece c. Amos 7.1 4 7. is a relation of certain Visions by which as by Types and Symbols a Famine to come Warlike Devastations and the Captivity of all the Israelites after the Extinction of Jeroboam's Family is denoted as it is expounded in the same Chapter see Chap. 9.1 where you have a Vision that denotes God's departure from the Temple his forsaking the Jews and his most sure Judgments against them Zechary 1.8 c there is a Vision of a Man riding upon a red Horse standing among the Myrtle-trees in the bottom and behind him red Horses bay and white so the Hebrew by which is figured our Saviour Christ dwelling in the Church among the godly and Angels ministring to him as Chap. 1. ver 18. The four Horns denote the Enemies of Israel who invaded them as the Syrians Assyrians and Babylonians on one side viz. the North the Ammonites and Moabites from the East the Edomites and Egytians from the South and the Philistines from the West The four Carpenters ver 20. which cast out the Horns aforesaid do figure out those Instruments which God shall make use of and gather from all parts to destroy the Babylonians and those Enemies of the Church who hindered the building of the Temple and the City Jerusalem Chap. 2. ver 1. there is represented a Man holding a measuring Line in his hand to measure Jerusalem by which the rebuilding of the City in time to come is denoted Chap. 3. ver 1. Joshua the High-Priest is represented as a Type of Christ as is plainly intimated ver 8. Chap. 4.2 there is mention of a Golden Candlestick which is a Type of the Church and most precious in the sight of God the Explication of which with reference to each individual Member is given by our Saviour himself The flying Roll Chap. 5.1 denotes the Judgments of God against the impenitent and unmannerly Jews More Examples may be read in this and the following Chapter To the latter Clauss belong the Visions we read of Lib. 1. p. 285. Jer. 1.11 12 13 14. Amos 8.2 of which we have spoke before We have treated so far of Visions whose Antitypes are expounded in the very Text but there are others which are not so expounded Therefore we must take their Exposition either from the Circumstances of the Text or from other places of Scripture or from the Event Complement or fulfilling of the Prophecy such are Isa 63.1 c. where there is a Dialogue proposed by the Prophet Pag. 421. l. 1. between Christ and the Church respecting his own most blessed Passion and Merit And altho there is in that place no direct mention of such a Vision yet the Circumstances do fairly intimate it viz. That such a Vision appeared to the Prophet In Ezekiel the 40th to the end we

due Preparation which doth consist in these four or five Particulars 1. A sincere Confession of those Sins which we find out upon diligent Search and Examination 2. Godly Sorrow for the same manifested by putting away the Filth of the Flesh We must come with clean hands and a pure Heart 3. We oughtt to forgive those who have offended us Christ commands us to be reconciled to our Brother The Apostle exhorteth us to lay aside all Malice We must not eat with the ●●leavened Bread of Malice and Wickedness 1 Cor. 5.8 4. Faith in the Death and Blood-shedding of Jesus Christ 5. We ought to do it in remembrance of his Death 1. With an affectionate Remembrance The Sight of our Eyes ought to affect our Hearts 2 A sorrowful Remembrance in contemplaton of what our Sins brought upon our dear Saviour They were the Thorns as I may say that crowned him and the Nails that fastened him to the Cross 3. With a Sin-loathing and self-abhorring Remembrance 4. With a thankful Remembrance Tho we have cause of Sorrow considering the Nature of our Sin and horrid Evil thereof yet there is great cause of Joy and Thanksgiving to behold a Saviour who in Bowels of Love died to redeem and save us from them Quest How may a Christian with much comfort upon examination receive the Lord's Supper Answ 1. If there is no Sin in thy Heart or Life which thou regardest or doest allow thy self in bearest with or connivest at 2. If thou dost loath Sin as well as leave it when 't is not only out of thy Conversation but out of thy Affection also To hate and loath Sin is more than to leave it Persons never willingly leave or forsake that they love 3. If thou canst say in truth that thou wouldest be made holy and doest labour after it as well as to be made happy to be throughly sanctified as well as to be saved live to God here as well as live with God hereafter to have Sin mortified as well as pardoned 4. If Christ is most precious to thee and hath the chiefest Room in thy Heart If upon Trial thou findest these things are in very deed wrought in thee thon mayest with much comfort come to the Sacrament Quest Of what Vse is the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to us Answ 1. It shews the horrid Nature and Evil of Sin in that nothing could expiate it nor satisfy the Justice of God or make a Compensation for it but the Blood of Jesus Christ 2. It shews the wonderful Love of God to poor Sinners in giving up his own dear Son to die the cursed Death of the Cross for us 3. It shews the wonderful Love of Jesus Christ who freely laid down his Life for our sakes Greater Love hath no Man than this Joh. 15.13 Rom. 5.8 10. that a Man lay down his Life for his Friend but Christ hath laid down his Life for us when we were Enemies to him by wicked Works 4. It tends to encrease our Love to Christ and our Faith in him 5. It shews us that Christ is our Life and how and by what means we come to be saved 6. It seals the Covenant of Grace to us giveth us in the right use of it much assurance that Christ is ours 7. There is a mystical Conveyance or Communication of all Christ's blessed Merits to our Souls through Faith held forth hereby and in a glorious manner received in the right participation of it 8. It may animate and encourage us to suffer Martyrdom when called to it for his sake Christ our Passeover 1 Cor. 5.7 For Christ our Passeover is sacrificed for us THe Passeover or Paschal Lamb being a most eminent Type of the Messiah of which see our Sacred Philology in the Chapter of Sacred Rites where you have the Reason of its Typical and Metaphorical Representation we shall here run an apt Parallel betwixt that illustrious Type and the most holy Anti-type Type Parallel THe Paschal Lamb must be without blemish entire whole sound not blind nor broken not sick nor bruised SHadowing forth the Perfection and Innocency of Christ in whose Lips were found no Guile As a Lamb without blemish and without spot II. He was to be a Year old II. Signifying the Experience Christ should have of our Miseries whereof even a Day 's continuance yields sufficient proof as also that Perfection of Christ in like sort And that in fulness of time he should come and suffer a Year being a perfect Revolution of the Sun's Course Guild III. It was to be taken out of the Flock III. Christ was taken from amongst Mankind Heb. 2.14 Forasmuch then as the Children are Partakers of Flesh and Blood He also himself likewise took part of the same c. IV. It was to be separated from the Flock IV. Christ was separate from Sinners V. It was to be slain and that in the Evening V. So Christ died saith Mr. Ainsworth in that season viz. in the Evening of the Day also in the Evening of Time in the latter Age of the World VI. The Blood was to be sprinkled on the Lintel Exod. 12.7 and Door-Posts that the Angel seeing the same might pass by VI. Signifying that Christ's Blood must be applied by us and where Christ is received 1 Cor. 1.30 and the Soul sprinkled by Faith Sanctification outwardly will appear in the Practice of the Life VII The Lamb was to be roasted with Fire Vers 8. VII Moses unvailed p. 62. Signifying saith Mr. Guild the Agony of Christ in the Garden and the Wrath of his Father which he did endure both in Soul and Body It was a Sign either of the Spirit of God which is compared to Fire through which Christ offered himself or of the Fire of God's Wrath Heb. 9.14 which he suffered when he was made a Curse for us VIII It was to be roasted with Head and Legs and the Appurtenances thereof that is it must be roasted all and whole not cut in pieces VIII This signifies our full Communion with Christ whole and undivided Ainsworth 1 Cor. 13. Gal. 2.20 IX No Bone of the Lamb was to be broken IX Os nullum illius Agni frangi voluit Deus c It signifies that not a Bone of Christ should be broken as it was prophesied of him X.

I dwell for I have desired it And as for sanctified Ones they are not only Dwellers in it but the very Materials of it so that it can never be without them It being also founded upon a Rock cannot fall Mat. 16 1● The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it IV. Other Houses are liable to be destroyed either by Fire or razed by an Enemy so that one Stone may not be left upon another IV. But the House of God hath stood ever since it was erected notwithstanding the many Plots and Designs of Satan and his Instruments by one means or other if possible to have destroyed it so as that there might not have appeared so much as the Dust or Stones no nor so much as any Sign left in any Part or among any People in the World whether there had been such a Building or no. But blessed for ever be Jehovah that it may yet be said Walk about Zion Psal 48.12 13 14. and go round about her tell the Towers thereof mark well her Bulwarks consider her Palaces that ye may tell it to the Generation following For this God is our God for ever and ever He will be our Guide even unto Death Inferences THis calleth aloud upon all the Members of God's House to strive more and more not only to be a meet Habitation for God but to beautify and adorn this House by their holy and heavenly Conversations Holiness becometh thy House O Lord for ever 2. Let all take heed how they defile or deface this House either by plucking out a Stone or a Pin or touching a Hair of the Head of any that are of this Building 3. Let all God's People examine what their Zeal is for God's House or whether they do truly prize the very Dust and Stones thereof The Church compared to a Family or Houshold Amos 3.2 You have I known above all the Families of the Earth 1 Tim. 3.15 The House of God which is the Church of the Living God Gal. 6.16 As we have Opportunity let us do good unto all Men but especially to the Houshold of Faith Eph. 2.19 Now therefore ye are no more Strangers and Foreigners but Fellow-Citizens with the Saints and of the Houshold of God A HOUSE in the holy Scripture is sometimes put for the Family or Houshhold and sometimes for the Structure or Building it self In both these respects the Holy-Ghost runs the Parallel in respect of the Church Metaphor Parallel 1 Tim. 2.20 IN a great House are not Vessels of of Gold and of Silver only but of Wood and of Earth some to Honour and some to Dishonour SO in the Church of God there is a Mixture of Good and Bad Sheep and Goats sincere Christians and Hypocrites like as in a Eield there is a Mixture of Wheat and Tares and in a Floor of Grain there is Chaff as well as Corn tho when any appear unsound drossy and ungodly she turneth them out When the Family of Christ consisted but of twelve Men there was a Judas amongst them II. In a great Family there are Persons of different Ages of different Strength of different Relations to the Master of the Family and of different Employments II. So in the Church of God there are little Children young Men 2 Joh. 2.12 14. Heb. 5.11 12 13 14. and Fathers there are weak and stronger Christians some that stand in need of Milk some that are fit for strong Meat some that need to be led and carried in Arms some that are Teachers and Rulers and others that are taught and ruled III. The Master chief Head or Governor of a Family provides and takes care of all that belong to him 1 Tim. 3.8 hence the Apostle saith He that provides not for his Family is worse than an Infidel and hath denied the Faith III. So God the great and good Master of this heavenly Family doth and will provide for all and every Soul that belongs to him Mat. 6.25 to 30. Take no thought for your Life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink nor yet for your Body what ye shall put on Why take ye thought for Raiment Consider the Lillies of the Field how they grow they toil not neither do they spin Therefore if God so cloath the Grass of the Field which is to day and to morrow is cast into the Oven shall he not much more cloath you O ye of little Faith The young Lions do lack and suffer Hunger but they that fear the Lord Psal 84.11 shall want no good thing He will give Grace and Glory and no good thing will he with-hold from them that walk uprightly My God shall supply all your Wants c. Phil 4.19 Casting all your Care upon him for he careth for you c. IV. A Family is also under the Government of him who is the chief Head and Ruler thereof IV. So is the Church under the Government of Christ and every Member is subject to that Authority Order and Rule which he hath left therein V. The Master of a Family defends his Family to the uttermost of his Power against all Enemies V. So doth the blessed God defend and preserve his Church whose Power is infinite So will the Lord of Hosts defend Jerusalem defending Zech. 9.15 also he will deliver VI. Every Person in a Family is privy to all such things as are publickly done in the House many of which ought to be concealed and not divulged to others It is a Reproach to a Person of an honourable Family to make known any thing that is done in the House which ought by all means to be kept secret VI. So each Member of the Church is privy to all such things as are done publickly therein and many things done therein do so particularly relate to the Family that it is an evil thing and justly to be reproved for any Member to divulge or make such private Matters known to others The Church of God in this respect as well as in some others should be as a Spring shut up Cant. 4.12 as a Fountain sealed c. VII It is a great Honour to a Family when it is well governed It was this very thing that the Queen of Sheba was so much taken with when she came to see Solomon 2 Kings 10.1 2 3 4 5. It is said When she saw his Wisdom and the House which he had built and the Meat of his Table and the Sitting of his Servants and the Order of his Ministers and their Apparel and his drinking Vessels and his Burnt-Offerings that he offered in the House of the Lord she was astonished c. In a Family the Governor ought to know his Place and all the rest to be in subjection or else great Confusion and Disorder will break forth Hence a Bishop ought to be one that rules well his own House having his Children in subjection with all Gravity What is more lovely in a Family than
