sacra c. 11. And I more wonder that these men should say that there is not one word for them in the New Testament or that they should be set up by us as Antitypes of the high Priests under the Law No Christ is onely that Neverthelesse in regard of the distinction which was an Ecclesiastical thing among the Jewes I say that the Bishops do resemble the High Priests and the inferiour Clergy the other Priests For there were in this respect many High Priests at once of whom we read many to have been assembled together Mark 14. 1. every one of which was summus sacerdos istius Classis the High or chief Priest of that Rank These ranks had their several courses Zachary was of one of these courses viz. of that of Abia Luc. 1. 5. not all these but one only was typical shadowing forth Jesus Christ unto them And even in this High Priest there was something besides the representation as is plain by St. Paul who yielded his obedience to the High Priest as governour of the people Acts 23. 5. and that after the Type was expired which had been unlawfull had there not been somewhat remaining in him besides the figure Eleazar in Aaron's life-time was Princeps Princip●m or Pralatus Pralatorum Num. 3. 32. and yet not reputed a Type of Christ and 2 Chron. 35. 8. we read of three at once one onely whereof was the High Priest which was the Type of Christ the rest were not so yet by reason of their dignity paramount to others might resemble Archbishops themselves And the other forementioned High Priests in regard of the place they held above the rest of their Classe are in a sort resembled by our Bishops And that this may not seem strange to any 't is a matter obvious to our observation that scarcely any Ordinance or Order under the New Testament can be named which is not derived from others under the Old by some kind of resemblance intended between them Imposition of hands by the Apostles was taken up in imitation of that practised under the Old Testament for the designation of successors as Moses used it towards Josuah Num. 27. 18 20. That the whole frame of Church Government answers to the like order and distinction of persons and offices in the Old Testament is evidenced by the learned Bishop of Winton in a scheme to that purpose thus drawn viz. Aaron should be resembled by Christ Eleazar Archbishops Princes of Priests Bishops Priests Presbyters Princes of Levites Archdeacons Levites Deacons Nethinims Clerks and Sextons And hereunto he is led by the opinion of the ancient fathers who seem to be of the same mind viz. that the same form should serve both so is St. Cyprian so St. Hierome St. Lee and Rabanus de vita clericor The Government of the Church of the Old Testament saies the Archbishop of Armagh was committed to Priests and Levites unto whom the ministers of the New Testament do now succeed in like sort as our Lords day hath done unto their Sabbath So he in his Original of Episcopacy and if it were reasonable for Christians to take the Jewes for their pattern in drawing their scheme of Church government much more is it for modern Christians to follow the ancient a thing which our Church has done in her reformation which has retained all things of ancient usage in the Church of Rome lest men should be scandalized at us whilest we seemed to set up a new Religion instead of reforming the Old The very Lords Prayer hath much of conformity not only to the forms used by the Jewes as others have observed but also as it seems to me to the very design of the sacrifices of the Law which are all reducible to three kinds The first was the whole burnt-offering to God as absolute Lord of Heaven Earth and as one to whom belongeth honour from us should he never bestow any special favour upon us The second was the peace-offering whereby to obtain at his gracious hands all those blessings and the degrees thereof whereof men stand in need whether publick or private as also to expresse a thankfulnesse for all blessings and for all those gracious returns he makes to the prayers of his people from time to time or at any time The third was the sin offering for the expiation of all or any transgressions of his holy and divine commandments and for health of soul In conformity whereunto our Saviour hath in that perfect and absolute form taught us to offer by him a spiritual holocaust to the honour of his name who inhabits eternity in these words Our Father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name Secondly a spiritual peace-offering for the advancement of his Kingdom in us and the adimpletion of his will by us as also for a supply of all outward necessaries in these words Thy Kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our dayly bread Thirdly a spiritual sin offering for the forgivenesse of sins past and for prevention of sin for the time to come in these words And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespasse against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil And these not without a doxology as a spiritual Libamen or meat-offering without which no burnt-offering was to be made under the Law in these words For thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory for ever and ever Amen And so having not only proved the order and distinctions of Ecclesi●sticks under the New Testament but also the first Liturgy so the Lords Prayer is proved to be by Cassander in Liturgic●s ex Dionysio and stands undeniably true to be instituted in resemblance of the like under the Old Testament I come now to prove the jurisdiction that they have one over another and over the rest of the Church wherein two things are to be considered in relation to o●r Bishops viz. 1. Their power 2. The distribution of this power As for the first Their power is so connatural that the chief Judge in Areopagus was a Priest hence Cohen in Hebrew was a common name to Magistrates and to Priests Gen. 41. 45. Potipherah was Priest h. e. Prince of On. The Druides among the Galls were of the noblest stock of kindred they were so in Epirus and Cappadocio it was usual as well among the Grecians as Romans for Kings to be Priests and as Schedus de Dis Germ notes out of Fenestella the Priest was never made a distinct person from the civil Magistrate till the expulsion of Kings out of Rome and that this power so challenged by the voice of Nature in the Heathen themselves is warranted by the Scriptures of the New Testament I shall have occasion to shew anon in answer to their objections against it Mean while I shall prove the second thing considerable viz. The distribution of their power And this is distributed according to the
