one of God by whom God raising him up out of the dust and exalting him would lift up and exalt his Servants also and judge the world righteously And then by Samuel God began to reveal his word more familiarly again 1 Sam. 3. and to teach the knowledge of his Son and of his ways till after David was anointed by him yea till within a little of his reign So that in all those times of the Judges which as the Apostle tells us Act. 13.20 According to Bishop Vsher 443. years was about 450. years the knowledge of God was vouchsafed to and continued with his People of Israel though through manifold calamities and sometime some eclipsings of it yet it was never quite lost from amongst them SECT 6. Of the times from David to the Captivity of Israel UNto David God yet further and more clearly opened his mysterie Psal 89.1 2 3 19 20 c. 132. over and above what was before so plainly opened giving him the Covenant of an everlasting Kingdom to be possessed by his Seed even Christ for ever of whose Kingdom the Kingdom setled on his natural seed was a Type and Pledge Yea 110.3 4. to and by him it was declared that Christ should be both a Priest and King a Priest after the Order of Melchisedeck 22. that he should offer up yea himself be the perpetual mighty Sacrifice 2.1 2 6 7. 16.9 10 11. and through manifold oppositions of Jews and Gentiles the Kings and Rulers and generality of Mankind yea through Sufferings and Death attain and enter into his Glory and manage his Kingdom for the good of Mankind so as that Nations should have cause to sing aloud to God for his Goodness through him Psal 87. 88. 100. 117. 145.9 17. to them to serve him with gladness and come before him with rejoycing to enter into his Gates with Thransgiving and his Courts with Praises c. 2 Sam. 23.3 4. He being through him good to all and his tender Mercies over all his Works and all the ends of the Earth seeing his Salvation But indeed the knowledge of Christ flowed in so abundantly to and by him the Spirit of the Lord speaking by him and his Word being in his Tongue that to mention all that was dispensed to and by him would require the writing out of a great part of the Psalms yea and many Volumes in explication of them The knowledge of the Lord growing now as a River as to the fuller and more abundant revelation of it which in the first Ages was but like a Spring the light grew more and more full and bright as to its shining as the day of Christs coming in the Flesh and accomplishing therein the Prophecies concerning him grew nearer And this revelation also was continued and held forth in the days of Solomon and in the succeeding Ages Prov. 1.20 21 22 23. 8.1 2 3 4 5 6 32 33 34 35. 9.1 2 3 4 5 6. Solomon speaking many things most divinely of the preparation made by wisdom for men and her gracious invitations and calls of men to the participation thereof with much desire of their good and great longsufferings towards them yea her universal good-will to the sons of men the simple and void of understanding the Scorners and Fools that hate knowledge c. a great torrent of Wisdom flowed forth to and by him much too full to be here particularly mentioned 1 King 11.1 2 13 14 c. 'T is true he grew loose and degenerate in his latter times through the love of strange women and provoked God to rend away ten Tribes from his Kingdom in his Sons days and so to eclipse the Glory of Davids outward Kingdom leaving him and his posterity only two Trides that so it might the more appear that the Promise and Covenant made to David was touching Christ and his Kingdom rather than touching any wordly Kingdom to be here inj●d by his natural Seed 2 King 4.
