upon God for mercy a whole day spending it in his service only and not to praise him with the same time-favours of spiritual nigardliness when the mercy is obtain'd Two or three of such days in a year is rare which might stop the mouth of Covetousness if it should plead fear of want 2. In relieving of the poor and indigent Ester 9.22 Iosephs afflictions must not be forgotten and the hungry soul must not go empty all that day he must be filled with thy goodness yea if thou pleasest thou mayst send portions to thy friends that they also may rejoyce with thee and for thee Revel 11.10 3. In more liberal receiving of the Creatures both in food Neh 8.10 and in apparrel Ester 5.1 The Jews in Chushan when the Council of Haman was turned to foolishness might have said with the Psalmist A Table hast thou prepared for us in sight yea in spight of our enemies and in a day of praise nothing is more sutable then a garment of praise From this it is that the Scripture calls them feasts of which the Church of the Jewes had these most remarkable commanded them of the Lord viz. 1. The seventh day or Sabbath 2 The feast of the Passover Exod. 12. In remembrance of the peoples delivery out of Aegypt and the Angels passing over the houses of the Israelites and smiting the houses of the Aegyptians It was celebrated the fourteenth day of the moneth Nisan or Abib and continued till the one and twentith of the same moneth answering to our March It is called also the Feast of unleavened bread Mat. 26.17 3. The feast of Pentecost Levit. 23.11 so called from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth fiftieth being celebrated the fiftieth day after the feast of the Passover the harvest of the Jews falling between these two feasts this is called also the feast of the first fruits Levit. 23.17 that their grain and corn might be sanctified for their use which was begun with one feast and ended with another 4. The feast of Tabernacles Levit. 23.40 It was celebrated the fiftieth day of the moneth Tisri answering to our September and continued full seaven days in memory of their Fathers dwelling in Tents Booths and Tabernacles the space of fourty years in the Wilderness 5. The feast of Trumpets Levit. 23.24 this was according to their political or civil account celebrated every new years day which was the first day of the first moneth Tisri which moneth was the seventh according to their Ecclesiastical or Spiritual account It was so called because on that day there was more sounding of Trumpets then at other times even all the day In memory say some of Isaacks deliverance from sacrifice a ram being offered up for him the horn of which beast was used as Trumpets are now In memory says others of the Law which they were to keep all the year which was delivered with the sound of many Trumpets Some say it was to put them in mind of the resurrection to a new life which shall be done with the sound of a Trumpet Others think it was to make their new years day the more remarkable because from it all their deeds and contracts bore date 6 The feast of the new moone Numb 28.11 Every new moon was a festivall among the Jews and the first day of the moon was the first day of their moneth In it it was unlawfull to buy or sell Amos 8.5 they repaired to the Prophets of God 2 King 4.23 7 The feast of Expiation Levit. 16.40 this feast was observed the tenth day of the moneth Tisri the priest at this time went into the Holy of Holys and made an attonment for the sins of the people For all their sins once a year Yet the Jews say it was in memory of Gods forgiveing them their sin of Idolatry in worshiping the golden calfe It is reckoned among their feasts though in it self a fast for that the Lord and they by performeing certain rites were agreed a true cause of joy and on that day the year of Jubile was proclaimed a time of great mirth 8 The feast of the Septennial Sabbath Levit. 25.4 as every seventh day was a sabbath of rest so every seventh year was a year of rest to show that man his lands his grounds were all the Lords 9 The Feast of Jubile Levit. 25.8 this was celebrated every fiftieth year proclaimed on the day of expiation It is called Jubile as some supposes from Jabal a Ram because it was proclaimed with sounding of trumpets or Rams horns All servants were this year set free and all lands that had been sold or morgaged returned to the true or first owner who had sold or morgaged them It mysticaly shadowed that Spiritual Jubile which Christians enjoy under Christ by whose blood we are not only made free but also the sound of the gospell which was typically showed by the sounding of the trumpets is gone throughout the world to those the Jwes themselves added 10 The Feast of Purim or of Lots Esther 9.20 this feast was celebrated the 14 and 15. days of the moneth Adar answering to our February In memorial of their deliverance from Haman 11 The feast of comportion of wood Nehe. 10.39 celebrated in the moneth of Ab or Iuly in memory of the wood comported or brought for the perpetual nourishing of the fire under the altar of Ierusalem according to the law of God to burn the sacrifices thereon made 12 The feast of Dedication 1 Maca. 4.59 of which we have spoken before Now notwithstanding we find not in the new testament any man bound to the observation of those days appointed by God to the Church of the Jwes or of any other yet because the exercise of Godlinesse may be interrupted through the fleshes frailty and the worlds emergency In a holy Imitation of the Jewes piety and Mordechais zeale and Iudas Maccabeus his devotion whose feast though Apocryphal was observed by our Saviour the Church of Christ here on Earth hath pointed out some days in the Calendar to be kept holy to the Lord for the honour of his name and credit of the gospel as the feast of the Nativity Circumcision Epiphany Purification c SECT 5.

Whether the Feasts of the Church Catholick differ from those of the Church of Rome That the Saints are to be honoured is by no true Christian denyed and that days may be set apart upon their account to worship God in is justifiable and in this both the Catholick Church and that of Rome agree

altars o places of sacrifice being but chappels of ease unto it nay it is not improbable that it is the very place where Noa sacrificed at first however we are sure it was a place of worship a place where God dwelt in the days of Samuel 1 Samuel 10.3 Further Gen. 22.2 Abraham is commanded to go to mount Moria and offer up his son Isaack the very same place where David is directed by God to build a altar for restraining the plage among his people the place where Abrahams altar stood A. M. 2062. was the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite A. M. 2922. and the place which was his threshing floor was the place where Solomon laid the foundation of his temple A.M. 2933. and then and there God established himself a Church and appointed that to be the place of worship unto the Church of the Iwes but this leades us to the next point viz. 2. After the law and that before the Captivity and after 1. Before the Captivity when Israel had been in the house of bondage and from it delivered and when God had given them rest he appointed a place of worship Deut. 12.5 11. to bring burnt offerings sacrifices tithes which is called his habitation this was in Shiloc Ios. 18.1 and there was the place of Israels service all the days of the days of the Judges even untill the days of David 1 Sam. 1.3 who removed it into his own city 2 Sam. 6.12 Where it abode in tents untill Salomon builded a Temple 1 Kings 6.1 where it remained all the days of the Kings of Iudah untill the days of Zedekiah 2 Chron. 36.11 at which time the Temple or house of the Lord was burned with fire A. M. 3360. 2 King 25.9 and the Lords people carried away to a strange land even unto Babylon where the harps of the sons of Iacob were hung upon the trees by the rivers of Babylon as being of no use since the glory was departed from Israel Psal. 137.2 2. After the Captivity and that before Christ and after 1. Before Christ. When the seventy years of Iacobs trouble was accomplished according to the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah Cirus King of Persia who had conquered in battel Asyages King or Emperour of B●bylon and united the Monarchy A. 3403. he appointed that the house of the Lord should be rebuilded at Ierusalem 2 Chro. 36.22 the foundation of it is laid by Zerubbabel A. M. 3422. Ezek. 10. and finished A. 3528. and dedicated for a place of publick worship Ezra 6.15 16. this continued the place of worship for 350. years and and then was polluted by Antiochus Epiphanes by reason of Idols but being cleansed by Iudas Maccabeus it was restored unto its first use 1 Mac. 4.59 and repaired afterwards by Herod the Ascalonit King of the Jews who also beautified it with sumptuous buildings and curious stones to obtaine favour of that people not for love of the place which continued the days of our Saviour 2. After Christ and that before and after his ascension 1. Before his ascension In our Saviours time we read freequently of Synagogues so called from the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to gather together and may be applied to any thing whereof there is a collection yet they are vulgarly taken for those houses dedicated to the service of God wherein it was lawfull to perform any kind of holy service except sacrifycing The Temple at Ierusalem was as the Cathedral Church for the whole Diocess of Israel and these Synagogues as Parish-Churches to the people When they began the Scripture gives no particular account however in regard that the Temple was a great distance from most of the people and the Sabbaths were to be observed It s probable they were erected in the days of Iosuah after the Lord had given the people rest That they were in Davids time is clear Psalm 74.8 And Moses of old time was preached therein every Sabbath Acts 15.21 In the City of Ierusalem there were 480. of them there were of them in Galilee Mat. 4.23 In Damascus Acts 9.2 At Antioch and at Salamis Acts 13. In all which places Christ and his Apostles did preach and teach the people The Synagogues had written over the gates that of Psalm 118.20 This is the Gate the Righteous shall enter into it and upon the walls within for the people to meditate upon such sentences as these Remember thy Creator Silence is commendable in time of Prayer In them the Scribes ordinarily taught the people And as in the Temple there was a high Priest in these there was a chief Ruler they had in them also an Ark wherein they keeped the book of God and the peoples faces were towards it both these and the Temple were places of publick worship in the time before Christ his ascention 2. After his ascension Peter and Iohn taught in the Temple Acts 3. 5.42 so also in the Synagogues as those of the Libertines Cyrenians Alexandria of Asia Acts 6.9 and several other all which were places set apart for divine service and frequented by the Apostles Acts 14.1 during their life yea since Ierusalems destruction the Jews had Synagogues in Rome Venice Mentz Frankford Fridburg Amsterdam in Polonia and in Hungaria where they meet together to pray and to hear the Law and great preparation is made before their entrance using these words when the bo●k of the Law is brought out of the Ark into the pulpit Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered Psalm 68.1 SECT II. There being in all ages such places as were set apart for divine service in solemn publick manner by the Saints and people of God we may conjecture what they are that would have none but to leave them and come to the Names that unto those places were given in doing which we shall instance only in the more usual remarkable and principal as these viz. I. The house of God Gen. 28.22 Or the house of the Lord 1 Kings 6.1 with many other places and that 1. Because designed for his peculiar service 2. Because here in a special manner he is said to dwell 1 King 8.10 11 12 13. II. The house of prayer Mat. 21.13 That being a principal part of worship not that prayer was confined unto it But 1. Because prayer was there made Acts 3.1 2. Because God in a special manner promised to hear the prayers that were made not only in it but towards it 1 King 8.30 48. 9.3 Dan. 6.10 III. The Temple Mat. 24.1 Take Templum for Tectum amplum a large covered place to hide God in and so the Tabernacle was a Temple the place for publick worship from Moses unto Samuel 1 Sam. 1.9 that being set apart for the same use that the Temple afterward was which was also a very large place 1. Take Templum for Templando or Contemplando for the place where Gods nature word and works were contemplated heard and admired and so all
