that act command man to sanctifie such persons to the Lord Every first-born of the Sons of Israel saith the Lord are mine both of Man and Beast for in the day that I smote every first-born in the Land of Egypt I sanctified them unto me Numb 8. 17. that is I commanded my people to sanctifie them to my service which they did perform First By setting apart some of the clean kind for Sacrifice And secondly by redeeming the rest with money which money God commanded to be imployed to his service either by buying some Sacrifices of Attonement therewith for the publick or else it must be for the repairing of Gods Sanctuary as Exod. 13. doth explain it 2 When God did sanctifie the Temple for the publick place of his Typical 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 sanct●fied Cities of Refuge he did thereby command his people to sanct●fie 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 Call a 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 sanctifi●d 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 defiled 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 couched under the word Sanctified for now the people of God had forgotten the

32. 25. for by that sin God was departed from them and so they were made naked both of Gods graces and of Gods protection and the like is expressed in Rev. 3. ●8 Rev. 16. 15. Ezek. 16. 22. Hos 2. 3. 2 Cor. 5. 3. God did purposely enter into a parly and communication with Adam that thereby he might prepare him for a Reconciliation saying to him in ver 11. Who told thee that thou art naked By this and the former searching Queries God was pleased to help Adam to search himself the more deeply and to affect him the more throughly with the sight of his sin and with the sense of his miserable spiritual death in sin because he intended to shew him mercy but the Lord did not propound any such searching Queries to the fallen Angels because he intended not to shew any merciful Attonement or Reconciliation to them though notwithstanding he hath shewed some common mercy to them in that he hath not sunk them into the lowest hell as yet Mat. 8. 29. But judgement without Mercy to them he hath deferred till the Day of Judgement 2 Pet. 2. 4. 2 Thes 1. 9. And these searching queres made Adam and Eve to answer as those that are deeply convinced and humbled in the sight and sense of their Spiritual nakednesse and misery that they had eaten of the forbidden Fruit and they freely confessed without any extenuation after what manner they were brought unto it The woman saith Adam in vers 12. which thou gavest to be with me she gave me of the tree and I did eat even she that was made of my Rib and she that thou gavest to be a meet Helper unto me Gen. 3. 12 Gen. 3. 13. she gave it unto me and therefore I took it from her hand from whom I could suspect no hurt and did eat And the Lord said unto the Woman what is this that thou hast done or why hast thou done this And the Woman said The Serpent whom thou gavest to attend upon us as a diligent and faithful servant be guiled me and I did eat ver 13. I thought the Serpent had been acted by a good Angel that could not perswade to sin and by this word Beguiled the woman comprehended the whole manner and order of the Devils deceitful temptation Some Interpreters I grant do conceive That Adam and Eve in their several answers did not make a plaine confession but did rather labour to extenuate their sin by posting it off from themselves to others but all circumstances considered their answers and confessions must needs be plain and naked or else they had not been fit to imbrace the means of Reconciliation which God was now pleased to manifest unto them And therefore without delay God did first curse the Serpent as it was the Devils instrument in vers 14. and then secondly he curseth the Devil himself in ver 15. saying I will put enmity between thee and the Woman and between thy seed and her seed He even He shall break thy head and thou shalt peirce Him in the foot-soals Thus God did threaten the Devil in the Serpent namely to break in peeces his subtil Head-plot by the work of Redemption and Reconciliation which should be wrought by the Seed of this Woman which the Devil had poysoned and corrupted thinking thereby to destroy all Man-kinde that should come of her to the end of the World but God threatned the Devil to break this Head-plot of his and that he woud put such an enmity in the Seed of the Woman against him and his seed as should prevail and bring them all to a deeper ruine at last and as God did thus curse the Devils Head-plot to ruinate it by the Seed of the Woman in the hearing and presence of Adam and Eve to whom it was a Prophetical Prediction and a Promise so questionlesse he did not fail to instruct them more fully herein and after what manner this Seed of the Woman should break the Devils Head-plot namely that through Death he should destroy him that had the power of Death that is the Devil Hebr. 2. 14. and that he should spoil Principalities and Powers and make a shew of them openly triumphing over them in his Death on the Crosse Col. 2. 15. for he overcame him that had the power of Death by Death for his Soul was not separated from his Body by the power of Satan and his instruments and by the power of their tortures but by his own power and in that respect his death was accepted of God as a propitiatory Sacrifice of Attonement and reconciliation This good news of a Reconciliation by this means was no doubt heartily welcome to poor dejected Adam and Eve they being fully lost and condemned in their own Consciences did out of doubt receive this Prophetical demonstration of their Redemption and Reconciliation wi●h all gladness and joyfulness of Spirit for true humbled sinners are fit to take down such Cordials with joyfulness and God was pleased to open their minds and hearts to beleeve in this Seed of the Woman and to imbrace this blessed means of their Reconciliation by his Death and Sacrifice which he should accomplish in due time even then when the Devil should peirce him in the Foot-soals upon the Crosse and by this means God was pleased to Re-create Adam and Eve in the cool of the same day wherein they were created and fell Reas 2 Secondly it is evident that Adam and Eve were re-created Adam d●th testifie that he was R●c●eated in the day of his Creation and Fall by giving his wife the new name ●evah life in the da● of their Creation and Fall because Adam did testifi● both his Wifes faith and his own faith by calling her Hevah Life for Adam gave this new Name to his Wife as soon as God had manifested the destroying of Satans Head-plot through the work of Reconciliation by the Seed of the Woman Before the said threatning to break the Devils Head-plot by the Seed of the Woman Adam called his Wifes name Isha Woman or of Man because she was taken out of man Gen. 2. 23. ●ut after the said threatning to ruinate the Devils Head-plot by reconciling Man by the Seed of the Woman Gen. 3. 15. then in vers 20. Adam called his Wife Hevah that is to say Life because she was the Mother of Life Gen. 3. 20. or the Mother of that Seed that gives life from the death of sin and in this respect she is also the Mother of all that are elected to live the life of faith and from this president it is usual in Scripture to give new names upon new occasions especially upon the manifestation of some new work of Grace upon any as Gen. 17. 5. Es 62. 2. Revel 3. 12. Adam was not so senceless as to give his Wife the new Name Hevah because she was the first living Woman or the first Mother of Natural life to others for all men know that it cannot be
