Fourthly a prophaner of the Temple that is called by Iosephus the y holy place So Christ saith When ye see the abomination of desolation stand in the holy place These are the crimes objected against Saint Paul and the Iews affirmed or as the Father saith with imprecation that these things were so To the first hee makes no answer z for it was in generall that he was a dangerous fellow and a generall proves nothing neither is worthy of an answer by the divine Apostolicall wisdome To the second he answers by way of negation that hee was no sower of sedition but that they themselves first caused the tumult Acts 24. 19. The Iewes that came from Asia caused the tumult for they saw him in the Temple and stirred up the people against him and laid hands on him in that sacred place and Sanctuary Men of Israel help this is the man that teacheth against this people in every place Acts 21. 27. he was accused by them that were the onely actors in the tumult Hence we learne to stand for peace and avoid sedition In the 120. Psalme ver. 5. Woe is mee that I sejourne with Mesech and have my dwelling in the tents of Kedar Mesech and Kedar are Tuscany and Turky by Kimchi out of Ioseph ben Gorion Here are the two great enemies of the Church in whose person David here speakes His sojourning with the Tuscans was tedious and his dwelling with the Turkes called Kedar so the tongue of Kedar is the Arab. in Abben Ezra and in Arab. the Alcoran is written My soule hath long dwelt hee saith not his body but hee was grieved at the heart that he dwelt with such ill neighbours b with him that hated peace hee saith not with them but with him because there was one a ring-leader of the rest neither doth hee say unquiet but that hateth peace and will never admit c reconciliation And hee addes I am peace God is love Christ is out peace and the Church is peace yet not without truth though it be not expressed it is understood for peace and truth doe meet together and sweetly kisse each other Christ is our peace and yet hee is truth But when we speake for peace they are for warre If wee pray or petition or preach for peace they are for warre what shall I say of them they are Mesech and Kedar To the third he confesseth that according to the way that they call Heresie so he worshipped the God of his Fathers Here we learne three things Faith Hope and Charity 1. Faith to beleeve the Law and Prophets as he did to worship the God of our Fathers not new Gods and in a new way enquire for the old way and walke therin that is the way of the Law not in the way of our Fathers against the Law Prophets and Apostles before the Reformation To the Law and the Testimony if they walke not by this rule there is no light in them with the heart man beleeveth and with the tongue confession is made to salvation 2. Wee learne Hope for if we beleeve wee shall have hope towards God Acts 24. 15. no hope in our selves but in him 3. Wee learne Charity the third Theologicall vertue v. 16. for this cause I labour this is the labour of love love to all as in Rom. 13. 8. Owe nothing to any man but love pay to every man his due Custome to whom custome tribute to whom tribute feare to whom feare honour to whom honour custome is ordinary tribute extraordinary both due to the Roman Caesars persecutors of the Christians Iustin Martyr and Tertullian in their Apologetikes prove this duty from thence and that Tribute they payed was imployed for the eradication of the Christians but they suffered and the blood of Martyrs was the seed of the Church the armes whereof were prayers and teares so then feare God and honour the King and meddle not with them that are given to change Againe love worketh no ill shall I say that he who kills and robbs his brother loves him seeing love fulfills the law and if a man have this worlds good and see his brother in want and shut up his bowels of compassion how dwells the love of God in that man Three things are required of a man 1. to doe justly 2. to love mercy 3. and to walke humbly with God Love is above all above Tongues faith of Miracles Prophecy Knowledge Almes Burning 1 Cor. 13. 1 2. It beareth all things hopeth all things endureth all things embrace this charity with peace and the peace of God be with you To the fourth he answereth and denyeth that he was a prophaner of the Temple but they prophaned it by raising a tumult in it as is shewed before a thing abhorred of Heathens I read in Herodotus that certaine profane Atheists robbed the Temple of Venus and the Goddesse by way of punishment sent the d faemineall disease among them thought to be new but Elder then Herodotus Thus I have done with the right opinion of this Heathen deputy Now I proceed to shew how Antichrist is opposite in every particular and his persecution worse then the Pagans out of three prophecyes of Dan. 7. 25. he shall speake words on the side of the most high this I take for granted by the best expositors that it is meant literally of Antiochus mystically of Antichrist that is pro contra for and against Christ a little home in his beginning but hath eyes and pollicy and a mouth speaking great things he shall weare out the Saints of the most high those that have gray haires here and there upon them he weares out by long imprisonments without cause as in the Spanish and Italian Inquisitions he is kept 2. 4. yeares all the dayes of his life and no accuser known but they ask him what he hath done what enemies he hath c. The Romane deputy allowed appeale to Caesar but the Conclave and their adherents deny all appeales and trample upon Princes and depose Kings upon suspition of another Religion The Romans after a small time called the Apostle to his answer and not before ignoble but honourable persons but Antichrists limbes to the greater disgrace judge them by meane persons of no birth education or religion The Romans thought it reasonable to signifie the crimes but these imprison without any crime except bare affirmation without oath prove a crime The Iewes affirme these crimes forenamed against Saint Paul but he saith They cannot prove the things whereof they doe accuse mee Acts 24. 13. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall stand Thus by tedious delayes of judgment and imprisonment Antichristians weare out the Saints And he shall thinke to change times and lawes Dan. 7. 25. he shall thinke to make a new Heaven and Earth a new Church and State a new Sun Moone and Starres which God made for times and seasons he shall make new
