worship 2 Chr. 7. 16. 2 Chr. 30. 8. he did thereby command man to sanctifie it by performing every particular just as he commanded Solomon might not build the Temple after the fashion that he thought best but he must do it in all particulars as God commanded 1 King 9. 3. God did not leave any sanctified thing that did any way appertain either to the service of the Tabernacle or of the Temple neither to Moses discretion nor to Solomons wisdome but when God sanctified these places for his worship he commanded how and after what manner Heb. 9. 19. 21. every thing should be done Ex. 25. 8 9 10. Exod. 39. 42 43. Heb. 9. 19 21. 3 When God sanctified Cities of Refuge he did thereby command his people to sanctifie them it is said that they sanctified Kedesh in Galilee for a place of refuge Jos 20. 7. they did sanctifie it because God had commanded them to sanctifie it Deut. 19. 2. they might not sanctifie any City but by vertue of Gods command as it is expressed in Num. 35. 6 11. 4 When God sanctified Festival dayes or Festival Sabbaths he did thereby command the Sons of Israel to sanctifie them Lev. 23. and Jeroboam is branded as a wicked opposer of Gods sanctified Sabbaths because he commanded a standing Holy-day to the Lord of his own head 1 King 12. 32 33. From these and such like examples it follows that when God sanctified the seventh day he commanded Adam and Eve to sanctifie the seventh day in the use of such Ordinances as he was pleased to blesse the seventh day withall Jesus Christ did not leave the sanctifying of the seventh day to Adams discretion in an arbitrary way how much time he would set apart for Gods service but by sanctifying the seventh day God commanded Adam to set apart the whole day for his service in such publick and private duties he had blessed the Sabbath withall 2 The word Sanctified implies another command to faln When God sanctified the seventh day he did thereby command Adam to prepare himself for the better sanctifying of the seventh day Joel 2. 15. Adam namely to prepare himself to the sanctification of the Sabbath First By an outward And secondly By an inward preparation Sanctifie a Fast call a solemn Assembly Joel 1. 14. that is to say Prepare your selves to meet me in a day of publick Fasting as it is explained in Joel 2. 15. Blow the Trumpet in Zion Sanctifie a Fast Calla solemn Assembly that is to say Warn the people by a Trumpet to prepare themselves to sanctifie a Fast Joels three terms in vers 5. are all Synonima and do all imply that Gods people must prepare themselves for a day of Fasting First Outwardly by sanctifying or washing their bodies and garments And secondly Inwardly by true humiliation of soul and in this sense also God commanded Joshua to sanctifie the people against they came into his presence on the morrow Jos 7. 13. Now all that Joshua did to sanctifie the people was no more but to warn them by a Proclamation through the Camp which usually was attended with the sound of a Trumpet saying Sanctifie your selves it is as much as if he had said God hath commanded you to sanctifie your selves First Outwardly by washing And secondly by inward repentance against you come into his presence on the morrow So when God commanded Moses to sanctifie the people to hear the Law delivered at Mount Sinai Moses did no otherwise sanctifie them but by commanding the people to prepare themselves in a sanctified manner First By inward fear and reverence And secondly by outward washing and by abstinence from their wives two dayes together for their more reverent attention of Gods Law Exod 19. 10. Jos 3. 5. Exod. 3. 5. 1 Sam. 16. 5. Num. 11. 18. Exod. 19. 10. Jer 6 4. So in like sort when God said Sanctifie War it is a command to prepare for War Jer. 6. 4. Jer. 51. 28. From these and such like instances it follows That when God sanctified the first seventh day he commanded Adam and Eve for the more solemnity to prepare themselves for the sanctifying of the seventh day God having made a promise to them in the end of the sixth day that the Seed of the Woman should break the head of the Serpent he sanctified the next day for a Sabbath of rest because he had blessed it with Ordinances and thereby he did command Adam and Eve to prepare themselves against they came into his holy presence on the morrow for sin had desiled them and therefore they needed to prepare themselves not onely by outward washing but also inwardly by true repentance Act. 22. 16. 1 Pet. 3. 15. Es 29. 23. or else instead of receiving good by that blessing wherewith God had blessed the seventh day they might expect a curse at least an outward curse upon their bodies as it fell out upon Aarons Sons when they did not sanctifie the Lord in his worship according to his command the Lord struck them with present death saying I will be sanctified in all that come neer me Lev. 10. 3. and when some of Ephraim and Manasses did come to the sanctified Passeover in the dayes of Hezekiah God was displeased with them because they had not prepared themselves thereto according to the sanctified or commanded preparation of the Sanctuary but Hezekiah prayed for them and the Lord heard him and healed the people 2 Chr. 30 18 19 20. 2 I will speak a little more of the word Sanctified as it implies a command to fallen man to prepare himself to sanctify the seventh day for all sanctified things must be remembred by way of preparation before hand that so they may be done in due time and order or else God that is jealous of his sanctified things will be displeased And therefore one Reason why the word Remember was after added to the fourth Commadement was not to adde a new sense to that Command more than it had to Adam under the word Sanctified but to increase the charge of preparation with more vehemency which at the first was co●ched under the word Sanctified for now the people of God had forgotten the charge that was contained in the word Sanctified and therefore when Jesus Christ did give the fourth Commandement at Mount Sinai by the Ministery of Moses he added the word Remember saying Remember the Sabbath day to sanctifie it Exod. 20. 8. for about three Exod. 20. ● weeks before this as the time may be calculated by comparing Exod. 16. 1. with Exod. 19. 1. Christ Jesus by Moses had said thus to the people Tomorrow is the Rest of the Holy Sabbath unto the Exod. 16. 23 Lord Exod. 16. 23. Christ Jesus did not now speak these words to them by way of a first Institution of the Sabbath but by way of admonition to prepare themselves to observe it as a holy or sanctified day already commanded for how else did

this temptation that he gave Adam no opportunity of time to go first to the Tree of life and this may further be demonstrated from the antecedent Preposition in Gen. 3. 1. Now or Then or And this word of connexion doth conjoyn and knit together sundry actions 1 This word Now hath relation to the womans creation and mariage with Adam because among all the other creatures he found not a meet helper for Adam 2. It hath relation to the time of their entrance into Paradise 3 To the time of the Devils fall 4 To the time of the Devils entrance into the Serpent 5 To the time of their first eating All these things fell out together even in the neck one of another and all of them as I conceive in the same order as I have ranked them 1 God brought the woman to the man that he might name with a name defining her nature and that he might mary them her together as one flesh and this time of Adams mariage with Eve was iust before his entrance into Paradise but some unadvised Expositors do confound this order for they place the time of Adams mariage not before but after he came into Paradise First Because it is said that Adam in the singular number was put therein Gen. 2. 8. 15. Secondly Because the womans creation and mariage is not recorded till after mention of Adams seating in Paradise verse 22 23. But a sensible reason may be given to both these first Under the name of Adam in the singular number the woman is included because God had made them but one flesh by mariage immediately before their entrance into Paradise and in that respect the Seventy translate Yee for Thou in Gen. 2. 17. because they understood both of them to be comprehended under the term Thou And therefore those Mariage-Books saith Mr. Broughton have an over-sight that say The woman was formed in Paradise for the Commandement Thou shall not eat thereof in vers 17. went not before the creation of the woman nor before her mariage to Alam but after she had the Commandement as well as Adam in the same term Thou as being but one flesh by mariage See Bro. in principal Positions Pag. 10. and the matter is out of controversie for the woman doth testifie that the Commadement was given to them both joyntly for thus saith she to the Serpent God hath said ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it lest ye dye Gen. 3. 3. in this sentence she doth three times over affirm that Gods prohibition was given to them both joyntly The story of the time of Adams mariage lyes thus First God in the sixth day created all sorts of Beasts of the Earth and all sorts of the Fowls of the air Secondly Then he created Adam after his own Image as the glory of all his creation And thirdly then he brought all the said creatures before him that he might put suitable names upon them as their Lord and that they might wait upon him as their Lord Gen. 2. 19 20. But fourthly Because among them all God did not find out a meet helper for Adams society thereupon God as a most expert Surgeon did cast Adam into a deep sleep and took out one of his Ribs and of that Rib as a most mighty Creator he made a woman and this was the last sort of visible creatures that God made Fifthly Then God brought her unto Adam to see what Adam would call her and he being exquisite in understanding said This now is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man And sixthly At this instant God gave her in mariage to Adam to be as one flesh and to be a meet helper to him And therefore secondly the onely reason why the womans creation and mariage is not recorded till after the mention of Adams seating in Paradise is because by the figure Hysteron Proteron he would shew the close joyning of the Devils temptation and of their Fall to their mariage 2 This word of connexion And or Now hath relation to the time of Adam and Eves entrance into Paradise it was Now namely as soon as God had joyned them together as one flesh by mariage which was done without the borders of Paradise he did without delay carry them both into Paradise as to the place of pleasure that he had in a special manner prepared for their delight and comfort during the time of their innocency There he put the man that he had formed Gen. 2. 8. And the Lord God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden Gen. 2. 15. and after his fall thence God sent him forth to till the ground whence he was taken Gen. 3. 23. From these Scriptures it is evident that as soon as God had given the woman in mariage to Adam he presently brought them both into Paradise and commanded all sorts of creatures to attend on them into Paradise as on their Sovereign Lord Gen. 1. 26 28. Gen. 2. 19. and this is also evident because the Serpent was there ready among the other Beasts of the field to do service to them Gen. 3. 1. And because God had made man to be the glory of his whole creation he did command not onely his earthly creatures but his heavenly Angels also to attend upon them into Paradise as it may be gathered because God doth still command his Angels to attend upon such as he hath The time of the fall of the Angels n●w called the Devil was when they were commanded to attend upon Adam Eve in Paradise dignified to be heirs of salvation Heb. 1. 14 Psal 91. 3 This word of connexion Now hath reference to the time of the Devils Fall For the heavenly Angels that rejoyced at the hanging of the Globe of the Earth upon nothing Job 38. 7. were now commanded to attend upon Adam and Eve into Paradise as well as the Beasts of the field But many legions of these heavenly Angels disobeyed that charge for they saw that mans body was but an earthly substance and that themselves were heavenly See H. ●ro in Ecc. his Chief Mark. spirits thereupon they not knowing the glory of mans Election in Christ refused to attend upon Adam and Eve into Paradise and for that disobedience God deprived them of their pure qualities and so they became dead in corrupt and sinfull qualities and ever since they have continued to be an envious company against the good of man But it seems there was diversity of judgement among them touching that service in attending upon our first parents for there were many legions of those Angels that despised man in comparison of themselves because God did not support them by his assisting grace and there were many legions that continued to do service to them because God did support them in their obedience by his assisting grace but the millions of them that fell for
