so in this one word the Iewes are put in mind of God his prouident sight in Abrahams offring vp his Isaac and of Melchi-zedeks blessing powred vpon Abraham after his returne from slaughter of the Kings Others compound it of Iebus and Shalem And very certaine it is that this Citie at seuerall times enioyed these seuerall names But these two termes drawen into one should so yeeld not Ierushalem but Iebushalem Answere is made that B. is turned into R. for mysterie sake as Saul was turned into Paul Sarai into Sarah Abram into Abraham the change of letter being a sacramental signe of the Cities change from sin to Sanctitie no longer to remaine a cage of such vnclean and hatefull byrds as were the Iebushits but a Citie for the Saints an habitation for the mighty God of Iaakob And this mysticall sense the B. turned into R. will further imply if so they be considered in Hebers language where B. is termed Beth in English an House R. is termed Resh in English an Head as if one would say that vnclean House became the Head or Metropolitane citie And in verie truth euery one of vs in our first creation was Shalem at peace with God but by Apostacie and miscreation we became in the second place Iebus a receptacle of vnclean spirits but by recreation and the new gift of God we are made Ierushalem a Citie for the great king The truth resting betweene these two last repeated iudgements you may demaund whether of them vtters the truth I answer both speak probably for any thing yet vnto me reuealed If of Iireh and Shalem it signifieth vision of peace if of Iebus and Shalem B. turned to R. it also commeth to be as before Iirehshalem by contraction Ierushalem the vision of peace or the place of such vision as bringeth True peace For all false vision doth effect but a false peace compared by Ezech. chap. 13.11 c. to vntempered morter that will not hold out a storme when the wrath of God commeth out against sinners Whereas that vision which issueth from God and his Ministrie it offreth and to the Beleeuer giueth a Peace which the Receiuer shall neuer need to repent of This touching the Iudaicall and typicall Ierushalem premised Let vs now examine the remoouall of this shadow for establishing the substance And the Name of that Citie from a Day shal be Iehouah-shámmah As if he should say From the day of this new Cities building a terme shall be put vpon this Citie which shall be vnto it as a sacrament of Iehouahs presence there for euer So that herein we are to obserue First the remooual of an old Citie 2. for building of a new with the remoouall of an old name for baptizing this Citie into a new First touching the remoouall of the old Haggai including Citty Hag. 2.7 Temple Land doth tearme the pollicie ecclestiasticall and ciuill an heauens and an earth which God would shake after a while euen then shake the same what time the expectation of the Nations that is Messiah should come And because we should not doubt what he meaneth by shaking marke how the Author to the Hebrewes descants thereon Yet once more will I shake Heb. 12.27.28 not the earth onely but also the heauens And this word Yet once more signifieth a remoouing of those things which are made that the things which are not shaken may remaine Wherefore seeing we receiue a kingdome which cannot be shaken c. In all which is plainly concluded that the old pollicie of the Iewes togither with their whole kingdome it was to be shaken and by the Messiah remooued that so we might receiue the new kingdome of Messiah that neuer was to be shaken or remooued The Prophets are plentifull in this poynt and the Author to the Hebrewes maketh this doctrine as the mayne argument and subiect of his Epistle And what doth Iaakob in his prophecie vpon Iudahs tribe inferre principally if not this that Iudahs tribe should continue till Shiloh come Gen. 49.10 but Shiloh once come he should gather the people to himselfe and so consequently dissolue Iudahs tribe and annihil their City and pollicy The tribe shall not depart Iudah that is Iudahs tribe shall not be dissolued and confounded till Shiloh come and the people shall be gathered vnto him And how apparant this is let Iudahs present dispersion the losse of their Canaan the subuersion of their city the ouerthrow of their priesthood and sacrifice and that for these 1500. yeeres and vpward let that their tragike experience be as ten thousand subscriptions to this doctrine Nor were these heauenly Mosaicall heauens and earth shaken and remoued for a season but for euer For from the day of that shaking we receiued a kingdome that was neuer to be remooued Now if with our vnmooueable kingdome the kingdome of Christ we should after a season expect the Iewish kingdomes restauration vnto their Mosaicall pollicie this were to confound Christ and Moses shadowe and substance I do not define whether euer the Iewes shall be gathered into some forme of gouernment but I conclude that their figuring kingdome was as a shadowe euer to be abolished that so the figured and substantiall kingdome of Messiah might be planted for euer The Synagogues kingdome was notably shaken when Messiah hanging vppon the crosse the earth quaked the vayle rent the stones cloue a sunder Yea they might take knowledge of a new world when as the graues togither with the Lord of resurrection did send out their dead Matth. 27.51 c. who walked into the City and shewed themselues to many putting them in mind of Daniels Dan. 12.2 resurrection of many About 40. yeares after their Temple was fired their city by the Romanes rased to the ground and their whole common-wealth vanished as a scrowle folded togither Euseb dem Euan. l. 1. c. 6. This caused Eusebius to say Soluta est confestim omnis Mosi constitutio c. The whole constitution of Moses forthwith was dissolued and all things of the old Testament whatsoeuer till then reserued they then were taken away From this day Ezekiels new city was to be builded The lowe Ierusalem was to giue place vnto that new one which th'apostle termeth “ Gala 4.26 so vnderstood of Luther Caluine Mariorat Hemin gius Hyperius others See Hebr. 12.22 heauenly and free yea the mother of vs all and by Iohn defined to be the “ Concilium Senosense in primo decreto vnderstandeth so of Reuel 21. Tabernacle of God resiant with men Of the old citie excellent things were spoken but greater and more meruailous things are recorded of this city the substantiall city of God And no maruayle seeing this is compacted in such durable manner of such durable matter as one with God it must continue for euer Th' other was but Leah that is Rahel the beuty of the nations and better then the Egyptian Queene may bee called * In
