Psal 132. prepar'd as it were for this ver● Time This Prince therefore can be no other than of the House of David And seeing this State is Divine Heavenly and never to End It must be the Great Prince of the New Jerusalem Jesus Christ For It is He that sits on the Throne of his Father David for Ever and Ever and whose Kingdom shall have no End Luke 1. 32. 33. It is He therefore that must needs be this Prince in such a measur'd and unchangeable State The Oath of God could not stand to David if it were not his Son The Application of that Oath to Jesus Christ the Son of David by the Spirit of God in Luke could not stand if it were any other S●n of David but Jesus Christ Nor can we find any Appearance of this Prophecy fulfill'd to any other Prince before Christ Nor can there be any said Supposition since His Resurrection except of some deputed Prince under Him in the New Jerusalem State But there are some although Private and Hidden Indications in the Vision that however the Representations of this Prince are no other in open view but as of a Humane Prince only yet that He can be no other upon these Indications then Emmanuel which being Interpreted is God with us shall appear in these Two Remarks Remark 1. That the Prince hath Power to estate his Sons in his own Inheritance for ever Now if this Prince continue one single Prince during the whole Time of this Happy State His Sons might be so numerous as to Eat out the Inheritance of the Prince it self if it were not a Divine Inheritance Besides this so long duration of any single Prince as this Blessed State shall endure is sufficient Assurance of Him who is the Great Melchisedec a Priest upon the Throne Abiding so continually and made after the Power of an Endless Life And if we Heb. 7. 16. would suppose the Prince to Intend a Succession of Princes This is a Great Argument It cannot be so because the many Sons of many Princes Receiving by his Gift Inheritances for ever must needs consume the proportion of the Holy Land Allowed the Prince I therefore Expound this Gift of Inheritance by the Prince to his Sons and not to his Servants by that Foremention'd place John 8. 35. 36. The Servant Abideth not in the House for ever but the Son Abideth for ever If the Son make you Free then are you Free indeed Words so Agreeable as if taken out of Ezek●el To which I add Revel 21. 7. He that Overcometh shall Inherit All Things I will be his God and He shall be my Son Spoken by the Father of the World to come Isai 9. 9. Under this Great Prince whatever Princes are for order and Glory must shall by the Eye of the Supreme Prince be all Just and Holy Ruling in the Fear of God in this Morning without Clouds 2 Sam. 23. 3. 4. c. 46. 1. to v. 8. Remark 2. The Prince is made known to be omni-present For His place is the East His coming in and Returning is by the East but the coming and going out of the People was only North and South Now the Prince was to go out in the Midst of them and although a motion in the East be in the midst to North or South and to all that move to either Yet such a Midst as the Prophecy Represents the Prince in is much nearer then that every step should remove the Prince further and the People further off from that Midst I Expound it therefore by the Lamb in the midst of the Throne Rev. c. 5. 6. and c. 7. 17. Yea much Higher by that Vnion of Him who as the Head of this Body the Church maketh it his own Fulness Filling All in All By the Rainbow springing from the Glory of the Holy of Holies in the West and obverted to it in the East and being Round about the Throne in the Humane Nature For this is that Time when we All come in the Vnity of the Faith and Knowledge of the Son of God to a Perfect Man to the Measure of the Stature of the Fulness of Christ Ephes 1. ult with c. 4. 14. From whence as the Learned observe this whole Temple Frame Receives as it were its Laws and Measures from the Symmetry and measures of the Humane Body which as David saith is Fearfully and wonderfully made and in God's Book were All the Members of it written As some Learned Men Interpret chiefly meant of Christ and Christ Mystical also Psal 139. 14. c. Thus the Cubit and Hand breadth Run through All And when this Admirable Pattern shall be fully Anatomiz'd and Measur'd It will draw freely much higher Hallelujahs then the Beholding the wonders of the Humane Frame extorted from the so deep * Galen Naturalist as to be almost Atheist in his Hymn to the Creator Correspon 6. This State of the New Jerusalem consists not of Revolutionary Sabbaths but is it self one perfect even always continuing Sabbatism to the People of God and even to the whole Creation All Productions being Free Spontaneous and full of Blessing This Sabbaticness is fitly signified by the Reed c. 40. 5. of Six Cubits and a Hand Breadth For the Six Hand Breadths allowed to every Cubit above the ordinary Standard make up a Seventh Cubit and so the Reed becomes a Reed of Seven ordinary Cubits thus contriv'd by Infinite wisdom For that cach Cubit had a Hand Breadth above the ordinary Cubit and not that the whole Reed had only one Hand Breadth to all the other Six Cubits together is evident c. 43. 13. the Cubit of this Vision was by the Cubit and an Hand Breadth This Reed therefore becoming a Seven Cubited Reed by the Six and 6 Hand Breadths united and running through the measure of this whole Frame turns all into Sabbatism For so as the First Sabbath united with Recollecting the Foregoing Six Days and the Works of them into it self and Blessed Them So the Seventh Millenary shall as a Grand Sabbatism Recollect Restore and Bless with Peace Rest and Comfort all the Six preceding Millenaries of Toil and Labour to the Servants of God All drawn up into its self and its own Rest according to Moses's excellent Sabbatical Prayer to this purpose Psal 90. v. 13. to the End It shall therefore be to all the Saints and to the whole Creation of God a Day of Restitution But with the Vials of his wrath as with a Flood He will Consume the wicked out of the Earth and so as to be no more and destroy them that before destroy'd the Earth Psal 104. 35. Rev. 11. 18. Correspon 7. There is in the Great Altar of Sacrifice c. 43. 16. a very Illustrious Signature of the Israelitish Twelve which was exalted by Jesus Christ into the Apostolical Twelve For the measures of this Altar vary from the measures of Moses his Altar which was but Five Cubits square as too little
