In the first ye have the harmony between Christ and the foregoing types, by which he was fore-shadowed in the Old Testament, both persons and things. In the second the agreement between Christ and other things, to which he is compared in the holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament. In the third the agreement between the Church and the types, by which it was foreshadowed in the Old Testament; and other resemblances, by which it is set forth in the holy Scriptures.

And our Moses to the Jews My Word hath no place in you God again being instant with him to go he altogether puts off the business that it might be a Type of that Voyce of our Saviour savoring of humane infirmity which he undertook Father if it be possible let this Cup pass from me Mat. 26. Order is given to Moses that he should joyn his Brother Aaron with himself and Moses to do the business towards God and Aaron the business towards the People And it 's said to our Mediator I will give thee the Heathen for thine Inheritance c. Psal 2.8 But by Aaron we may understand Paul chosen to speak unto the People of whom our Mediator says to Ananias He is to me a chosen Vessel to bear my Name before the Gentiles and Kings Acts 9.15 and the Children of Israel Moses and Aaron speaking to the Hebrews assured them that they were sent of God to bring them out of Egypt whom the People hearing bowing their heads they worshiped and seeing their Miracles they believed So while Paul preached to the Jews and Gentiles confidently promising Salvation of their Souls by Christ and wrought Miracles he suddenly converted them to the acknowledgment of God and freed Kings themselves from the future Judgment of God Hear him again God calling Moses into Mount Sinai gave him a Law written in Tables of Stone Vocans Deus Mosem in monte Sinai Legem in tabulis lapideis adscriptam ut populo traderet dedit quam rite servans terram promissionis acciperet Noster vero Mediator Jesus Dominus cujus figuram gestabat etiam Moses in montem ascendens cum discipulis suis quibus modis beati homines fierent Legem non in tabulis lapideis sed in tabulis cordis carnalibus Dei Spiritu scripsit qua non terra sed coelo vita potiantur aeterna qui ejus mandata servaverint De praedict promiss Dei part 2. cap. 1. which he was to deliver to the People which they carefully keeping they should receive the Land of Promise Our Mediator the Lord Jesus of whom Moses was a Type ascending into the Mount with his Disciples shews by what means men may become happy wrote a Law not in Tables of Stone but in the fleshly Tables of the Heart by the Spirit of God by which they may come to enjoy not Earth but Heaven and Eternal Life that keep his Commandments Cum multis modis precaretur Dominum Moses seipsum pro peccato populi offerens nostrum Mediatorem sub figura expressit qui animam suam pro impiis posuit Id.

this word Messiah It 's the same with the word Christ as the notation of the words shew Messiah of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Christ of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 both which words signifie to anoint And so Jesus is called Messiah or Christ both passively because he is anointed and actively because he anoints us Christ was anointed that is he is ordained to be the King Priest and Prophet of his Church and he was furnished with Gifts in his Humane Nature whereby he might be fitted for the execution of his Offices Christ is ordained to be the King of his Church so says God I have set my King upon my holy Hill of Sion Psalm 2.6 And so the Prophet Isaiah calls him the King of Peace Isai 9.6 And the Prophet Zachariah can say of him Zach. 9.9 Behold thy King comes So Nathaneel in the New Testament could confess Thou art the Son of God John 1.49 thou art the King of Israel He is ordained to be the Prophet of the Church So Moses foretels it of him in the Old Testament Deut. 18.15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee of thy Brethren And this both Saint Peter and that blessed Protomartyr Acts 3.22 and 7.37 Saint Steven applies to Christ He is ordained to be the Priest of the Church So says the Psalmist Psalm 110.4 The Lord hath sworn and will not repent Thou art a Priest for ever c. And so in the New Testament Saint Paul calls him the High Priest of our Profession Hebr. 3.1 He is furnish'd with Gifts fitting him for the execution of these Offices Psalm 45.7 God thy God says the Psalmist hath anointed thee with the Oyl of gladness above thy fellows And the Prophet Isaiah Isai 9.6 The Government shall be upon thy shoulders The Government is a burden therefore he hath shoulders given him upon which to bear it And the holy Baptist can tell us John 3.34 That God hath given him the Spirit not by measure But this Name Messiah or Christ is also given him actively because he makes us Partakers of this Anointing Psalm 45.7 Christ is anointed above his fellows therefore his fellows also in their measure were anointed Psalm 133.2 So the precious ointment poured on the head of Aaron came down to the skirts of his garment 1 John 2.20 And so Saint John tells us That we have received an Vnction from that Holy One. And this implies both that He hath made us Kings and Priests Rev. 1.6 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Pet. 2.9 Jude 20 a Royal or Kingly Priesthood yea and Prophets also to edifie one another in our most holy Faith and also that from him as the Giver of all Grace we have received in our measure by which we may be fitted in our places to honor and serve God and to be useful one to another John 1.16 so says the Evangelist Of his fulness we have received and Grace for Grace And the Apostle Eph. 4.7 To every one of us Grace is given according to the measure of the Gift of Christ Now therefore let us carry our selves to him as such He is our King therefore let us be obedient to the Laws of his Kingdom let us fly to him for Protection in time of danger Submit we our selves to his Punishments receive we his Embassadors and their Embassies pay the Taxes and Impositions that he lays upon us defend we his Honor though with never so much hazard and prejudice to our selves count we it our Honor to serve him though in never so low a kinde of service He is our Prophet and the Prophet of his Church therefore let us hear him let us yield to his Doctrine the Obedience of Faith and Practise Matth. 17.5 This is my beloved Son hear him says God from Heaven at his Transfiguration And Moses Vnto him shall ye harken Deut. 18.15 Deut. 18.19 And hear how he brings in God speaking Whosoever will not harken to the words which he shall speak in my name I will require it of him What is that hear St. Peter expounding it Every soul that will not hear that Prophet Act. 3.23 shall be destroyed from among the people And whom shall we hear if not him that hath the words of eternal life Joh. 6.68 He is the high Priest of his Church let us therefore rely upon his Priesthood rest upon the Satisfaction which he hath made to the Law and Justice by his death upon the Crosse If the question be How we hope to have pardon of sin to be reconciled to God and to come to everlasting life let our answer be None but Christ none but Christ for to him in Scripture all these are attributed In whom saies the Apostle we have remission of sins by his blood He hath made us accepted in his beloved Eph. 1.7 Eph. 1.6 We have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord Eternal life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. And in general Rom. 5.1 Rom. 6.23 There is no name under heaven by which we can be saved but by the name of Jesus Act. 4.12 He that for the obtaining of any of these lookes to himself or any other besides Christ is guilty of these two evils Forsaking the fountain of living waters Jer. 2.13 and Digging to him self broken cisterns cisterns that can hold no water Rely we upon his intercession by him offering up our prayers and praises to God not doubting but that for his sake they shall be heard and accepted Whatsoever ye ask my father in my name saies our Saviour Joh. 16.34 Eph. 5.20 he will give it you Giving thanks to God and the Father saies St. Paul in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Yea the Apostle gives yet a further injunction Whatsoever ye do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Col 3.17 1 Tim. 2.6 Dote not on Saints and Angels There is one Mediator the Man Jesus Christ. It s true say the Romanists Christ is the onely Mediator of Redemption but the Saints are mediators of intercession But hear we what St. Paul saies Rom. 8.34 Christ is set on his fathers right hand making intercession for us And St. John We have not Advocates 1 Joh. 2.2 as speaking of many but an Advocate as speaking of one Jesus Christ the righteous And Calvin doth excellently note the absurdity of this answer As if saies he Christ having finished the temporary mediation should leave the eternal mediation Quasi vero Christus mediatione temporaria perfunctus aeternam ad servos suos rejecerit Institut l. 3. c. 20. s 20. namely of intercession to his servants But say they we may well hope the better to speed in our prayers when they are presented to God in the name of Saints and Angels who are

it 1 Sam. 4.13 Where the Ark of God was 2 Sam. 6.12 a Blessing did accompany it When the Israelites presumed to go to War against the Canaanites without the Ark they were overthrown Phil. 3 7 So Gods People have Christ in high account What joy was there at his Birth Luke 2.10 How was the Church pierced at his loss Cant. 5.6 Eph. 1.3 Eph. 2.12 God blesseth his with all spiritual Blessings in Christ but they that are without Christ are without Hope 6. There are three especial Wonders expresly set down to be wrought by the Ark. 1. The dividing of Jordan till the Israelites passed over from the Wilderness to Canaan and then the returning of the Water to his course again Heb. 10.20 Josh chap. 3 and 4. So by Christ a Way is made through the Sea of this World to the Heavenly Canaan 2. The falling down of the Walls of Jericho Josh 6.12 So by Christ strong and mighty Holds are cast down 2 Cor. 10.4 Eph. 2.14 Col. 2.15 3. The falling of Dagon before the Ark 2 Sam. 5.4 6 and Judgments executed upon the Philistims So by Christ the Idols of the World fall down yea Mark 3.11 Heb. 12.29 the very Devils themselves Christ is a consuming fire to such as have him not in due account 7. After that the Ark had removed up and down from place to place a place of Rest was sought for it 2 Sam. 7.2 and found for it 1 King 8.8 Thus Christ after his many Travels and Troubles on Earth Hebr. 1.3 found a Resting-place in Heaven Christ and Aarons Rod. In Heb. 9. p. 319. Of this hear Dr. Gouge 1. Of what kinde soever the Rod were it 's certain that it was cut from a Tree very dry past sprouting and springing according to the course of Nature a dry stick as we say This typifies Christ who came from the stock of Man but as a withered branch The House of David was not known in the World when Christ sprang out of it for Herod did what he could to destroy that whole stock The meanness and poverty of Joseph and Mary was a means to keep them from the notice of Herod Christ also in his own Person was as a dry withered stick from his Birth to the thirtieth year of his age he lived in a private low and mean condition yea afterwards though he did such Works as might have made him famous yet he was exceedingly despised and at the time of his death apprehended as a Traytor arraigned scourged buffeted and many other ways most vilely handled and crucified between two Thieves dead and buried 2. This Rod is said to be Aarons Rod it 's probable that it was like to the Rods of the Heads of the other Tribes Num. 17.2 because their several Names were written upon them Thus Christ taking upon him Mans nature was as other men 3. This Rod of Aaron budded brought forth Buds bloomed Blossoms and yielded Almonds These typified the Glory of the Lord Jesus who notwithstanding his foresaid meanenesse was declared to be the promised Messiah the King of Israel 4. The kinde of fruit that was brought forth is said to be Almonds which are a sweet and pleasant fruit yea wholesome and medicinable Most sure it is that the truth is so Nothing more sweet and pleasant nothing more wholesome and medicinable then the fruit of all manner of grace that sprouteth out of Christ 5. By the foresaid fruit of Aarons rod Num. 17.5 Aaron was manifested to be chosen the high Priest of God So was Christ by his glorious works and manner of preaching by his Death Resurrection and Ascension and gifts that he gave manifested to be appointed of God our high Priest 6. Num 17.10 After the foresaid evidence of Aarons being chosen of God by his rod that rod was set before the Testimony So Christ Heb. 8.1 after the foresaid evidences of glory is set in Heaven at Gods right hand Christ and the Mercy-seat Of this Dr. Gouge thus 1. In Heb. 9. p. 322. The Mercy-seat is an especial type of Christ for he is expressely a propitiation Rom. 3.25 1 Joh. 2.2 2. It was made of pure gold Exod. 25.17 this typified the excellency purity and Eternity of Christ 3. The Mercy-seat was two cubites and an half in length and a cubit and half in breadth The measure was just the same that the Ark was of Exod. 25.10 17. It was a cover for the Ark and therefore every way fit for it of the same size This shewes that Christ is every way fit for the purpose to which he is put Ex. 25.21 4. The Mercy-seat was put upon the Ark for it was to be a cover unto it This shewes that the rigor of the Law in accusing and condemning all that have not perfectly fulfilled the same is suppressed by the mediation of Christ and the attonement which he hath made for us 1 Joh. 2.2 Well therefore is he called a propitiation for us And hereupon the Apostle saies Rom. 8.1 There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Exod. 25.22 5. The end and use of the Mercy-seat is thus expressed by God There will I meet with thee And I will commune with thee from above the Mercy-seat So that it was a place for God to manifest his presence and to declare his will thereat This typified Christ to be the mean of Gods manifesting his presence and declaring his will to us Joh. 14.9 10 Never was there so lively a representation of Gods presence as in and by Christ Never was Gods will so fully and clearly made known Joh. 1.18 as by Christ On Exod. 25.17 c. Ainsworth also ownes the comparison between Christ and the Mercy-seat in several particulars Rom. 3.25 1. This is saies he applyed by the Apostle unto Christ who is called Gods propitiatory through faith in his blood to declare Gods justice for the remission of sins that are past and so another Apostle saies 1 Joh. 2.2 He is the propitiation for our sins So this Mercy-seat on which God did sit between the two Cherubims was a figure of Christ by whom our transgressions of the Law are forgiven and covered 2. Speaking of the Cherubims he addes These may diversly be applyed unto Christ whose mediation was signified by the Mercy-seat 2 King 6.17 Psal 68.18 Heb. 1.6 14 and to the ministers of God both the Angels in Heaven Gods fiery Chariots whose service he often uses for his Honour and to attend upon Christ and upon his Church into whose mysteries they desire to look 1 Pet. 1.12 and his Ministers also on earth Ezek. 28.14 Rev. 4.6 8 Ezek. 1.5 6 10. for Kings are called by the name of Cherubs And the four living creatures with eyes and wings which were Cherubims as appears by comparison with that of the Prophet Ezekiel are of them that are redeemed
