have believed do enter into rest ver 3. and what is this Rest When do we enter into this Rest when we cease from our own works as God did from his ver 10. Therefore 't is plain that the seventh day or Sabbath of the Lord was a signe or type of the Lord himself being our rest or Sabbath in truth ver 4. Yea as the Rest which Jesus or Joshua gave to the people in the Land of Canaan was another type of this Rest or Sabbath ver 8 So surely the Rest which Jesus Christ in truth did take in the Father in the Fathers dwelling in him and doing all in him was but a type of the same to us that we should be and abide ●n God and God in us all in all as in Him Ioh. 14.10 19 20. Iohn 4.15 But as Churches know not the mystery of Christ of Christ in us of the sonne revealed in us c. for they know not the mystery and morality of the sabbath For how simple is it what they say of the Lords day as if the eight or first day of the week were the morality of the severth or Jewish sabbath as if Christs appearing so oft after his resurrection on the eight day were a proof of his changing the Sabbath to that day as if that day were now to be kept holy when as Peter with the Apostles went out a fishing on that day Joh. 21.1 2 3. his appearing so oft on the eight or the first day of the week was rather to shew that the observation of the seventh was gone as the Aposties also meeting that day was no more For as their assembling in their Synagogues on the Sabbath day was onely to preach unto the Jewes meeting in most multi udes on that day so the Apostles usuall meeting on the first day of the week was meerly for order only to set in order something in the Churches and to performe some Ordinances among them in the Spirit 1 Cor. 16.2 as breaking of bread Act. 20.1 c. But we have preved and shall more abundantly with God that the present Churches are in no Order of the Gospel and have no Gospel Ordinance among them else they might meet that day indeed to break bread as another day of the week to preach a lecture And truly for love and peace sake I can rest and refrain from labour on that day not in conscience but in a civill respect that men might shew some kindnesse to the poor creature that in mercy the beast might have some rest and that labouring servants might have a day to rejoyce in therefore I will not trouble the State in this but intreat them to consider their own liberty and ours not to the flesh but in God alone There is a Scripture though not written in our Bibles but t is in the originall there being indeed no lesse then 15 severall greek Copies of the new Testament I say the originall copy reades thus Luk. 6. next to the 5 verse this followes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Exemplur velustissimum in Italia ab amiti● collatum Complutens proximum Stephanns Gr. Test at large That is on the same day jesus seing a certaine man working on the Sabbath-day said unto him ô Man if thou didst know indeed what thou dost thou wert happy but if thou knowest not thou art cursed and a transgressor of the Law that is if men knew the liberty of the Gospel and their Christian Liberty in the Sabbath day indeed they were truly blessed but if men do they know not what and wilfully offend they obey neither law nor Gospel but are cursed in both T is plaine by all and has been proved from Scriptures That Church-fellowship the last great Ordinance indeed Act. 2.24 I say that the fellowship of Churches this day is the fornication of the great whore or wine of her fornication Rev. 17.2 Act. 2.13.15 16. verse Eph. 5.18 so as the Baptisme of the Spirit the Spirit poured forth in the manifold gifts was that new wine where with the primitive Church of Christ seemed drunk being filled with the Spirit for the present Church having not this fellowship of the Spirit must needs appear as the whore though seemingly the Spouse having saints in fellowship with them their formes and false worships the wine of her fornication All this was typified by the Whoredomes of Israel whose fornications and false worships are so often published by the Prophets of the Lord the Prophet Hoseas taking a whore to his Wife was a Type of this Hosea 3.1 The Prophet being a principall man and chief member of the Church joyned with a woman and adulteresse shewes forth the adulteryes of the whole Church in all her members and ministery who look after other Gods and love Flagons of wine that is false shews of the spirit But see what a poor whore the Prophet takes unto him I bought her to me for 15 pieces of silver for an homer of Barley and halfe an homer of Barley Exod. 21.32 ver 2. Fifteen pieces of silver was but halfe the price of a slave thus saints embondaged to fleshly formes value themselves at so low a rate that rather then they will be of no Church they will be of any Church or fellowship though never so poor and mean yea feed themselves with Ordinances though comming far short of the spirits presence or purest institution that 's also signifyed by an homer of Barley and halfe an homer of Barley or as t is in the Heb. Halfe of Barley Barley is not the best for bread and halfe an homer is but a pottle at the most a small measure besides the graine is not pure for t is but halfe of barley the other halfe of fetches of cockle or chaffe this is cleer the present Churches are content with the smallest measure of the Spirit how else dare they enter into fellowship before they have the fulnesse or Baptisme of the Spirit nay their Ordinances are not all the best for the Baptisme of the Spirit was the first Gospel Ordinance as Prophecy a Psalme a doctrine a Tongue a Revelation an Interpretation were all for the Edifying of the Church these the Churches have not at all and those Ordinances they have are but halfe of barley there is a mixture much of man halfe is of mans invention of mans tradition Therefore I said unto her thou shalt abide for me many dayes and thou shalt not play the harlot and thou shalt not be for another man so will I also be for thee ver 3. the Prophet here speake● in the person of God to the whorish Church that was so much for man for the traditions and teaching of man and for humane additions to divine institutions or ordinances well saith God thou shalt abide for me many dayes and thou shalt not play the Harlot that is when the Law was to be abolished when the old state of the Legall Church was to vanish and a new
