A54044	The New-Covenant of the gospel distingnished [sic] from the Old Covenant of the law and the rest or sabbath of believers, from the rest or sabbath of the Jews, which differ as much from each other, as the sign and shadow doth from the thing signified and shadowed out : in answer to some queries of W.

in him who is the rest And as touching signs I do not say that signs are so done away as that there is now no good use to be made of them but in reading the law and shadows thereof the Lord may please by his Spirit to enlighten the Spirit of him who reads in his fear to see through them but this I do not find that so much as any one sign or shadow under the law was to be continued in that way of service under the Gospel for indeed to what end should it When that is come which it signified is not its work at an end and that that Sabbath was given for a sign as well as any other Sabbaths of the Law I find expresly Exod. 31.13 to 18. Object 4. It is said That though Christ's law be a new law yet it is also old given of old to the Jews Answ. Yea it is older then so for it was written in Abels and the other holy mens hearts long before this Covenant of the Law in writing was made with the Jews And consider wel which is now to stand in the times of the Gospel the writing of the law by the Spirit in the hearts of believers as it was written by vertue of the promise before the law was given or the outward and visible writing under the Law which was done for the sake of and as a suitable dispensation for that outward people It was not thus from the beginning but after a long time for when God chose an outward people he chose also this way of writing to signifie somewhat by which signification is concerning another state in which state that which was signified is to be set up and advanced and not the shadows which were significant of it It is further said that the Lord writes these things new in his peoples hearts to know the Lord as their God and as the God and Father of Jesus Christ and as their Father in him and to love their brethren as Christ loved them And he writes this law also in their hearts Thou shalt have no other Gods but me make no Image exalt my name keep holy the Sabbath c. Ans. If God write these things in the heart are they not to be read there If God write them in the new Covenant and in the new Tables shal not I read them there And if I can read there in this living book what God writes in it by his Spirit is not this nearer to me and clearer and read by a more certain eye then what I can read with my outward eye in Tables of stone Oh do not turn the believer out of his way do not hinder him from reading in the book which is clear and infallible the clear and infallible things of God Will God write in my heart and will he not give me an eye to read Shall he give me an eye to read and shall I not read therewith Thou hast here confessed this to be the new writing and the new writing belongs to the new Covenant both which are proper to the Gospel-state and to Christs meditation who is Mediatour of the new Covenant Heb. 8.6 And in that he saith a new he hath made the first old Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away ver. 13. Object 5. It is said that Love being the sum and substance of the law of the Spirit makes no more against the fourth Commandement then against the rest Ans. Love is the substance of them all they are all fulfilled in it but they are not after this manner fulfilled to wit that a man should strive perticularly to keep them in his eye and so labour to fulfill them in love but rather thus in waiting on the Lord to receive love from him and to be kept by him in the love in this love received they are all fulfilled and cannot be broken and this is an easie yoke This is the new birth and the path thereof the other is but the old creature with its striving after the path and inheritance of life And as this love is the fulfilling of the law so the heart are the Tables of this love wherein God writeth both the whole and all the parts of his Law Now I am not against any man who in singleness of heart applies himself to the letter but it is but the old way and a conversing with Christ after the manner of Moses's his dispensation but I must confess that I am for the new Covenant and for the ministry of the Spirit which is far beyond the letter and though I have known Christ and the Lavvs of his life after the flesh yet henceforth my desire is not after knowing him so any more but to know him in the eternall life of his Spirit and to drink of the fruit of the Vine new vvith him in his Fathers Kingdome A brief explication of the mistery of the Six Days labour and Seventh Days Sabbath for such to behold the eye of whose Spirit is opened by the pure anointing and who are not so drowned in their conceivings and reasonings about the sence of the letter as most of the professors of this age are Mat. 11.28 29 30. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easie and my burden is light He that hears the joyfull sound of the everliving power calling him by the voice of his eternall light out of the darkness out of the death out of the misery out of the Dominions Territories and deep slavery of Satan unto himself and cometh unto him in the vertue and power of that life which calleth he hath a tast given him of the eternall rest and a promise of entring into it But the entrance into the fulness thereof is not presently but he hath a long journey to take from Egypt the dark land from Sodom the filthy land from Babilon where all the vessells and holy things of God have been defiled through the wilderness unto Canaan and many battles are to be fought with enemies by the way also with the enemies which possess the holy land and many hardships to be undergone in following the Captain who also leadeth his Israel by a pillar of cloud by day and by a pillar of fire by night and there must be a circumcision a baptism in the cloud in the Sea and the falling of all those carcasses in the wilderness which are not to enter nor so much as see the good land before the entrance be ministred to the seed and to that which passeth through the water and through the fire with the seed In plain terms there must be a taking up of the yoke and a learning of Christ under the yoke till the proud the stiff the stubborn the wise the wilful the selfish Spirit
