Scaffold as on the Throne and as Philo goes on Jam jam assumendus in ipsis stans carceribus unde ad coelestem metam erat evolaturus tunc quoque afflatus Divinitus vivens adhuc Prophetavit He being yet alive blessed all the tribes of Israel and prophesied of their future prosperity Deut. 33. Being now to go up into Mount Nebo and die he went as from his Prison to a Throne and from a glimpse of that earthly Canaan which he was deni'd to enter to possess that heavenly Canaan which was open to receive him Which brings us to the last part of our Parallel Our Royal Martyr was like Moses in his death also for so died Moses the servant of the Lord in the land of Moab according to the word of the Lord. He began to die as a King when Aaron the Saint of the Lord his chief Minister about the Tabernacle and the things belonging to the Worship of God was violently pluckt from him not for consenting to but for his endeavour to suppress those golden Calves which the people had made and set up to themselves as their Gods not to go before them towards Canaaa but to lead them back to Egypt whither they were returning He died on Mount Hor the Tower-hill Jethro also his great Counsellor was taken from him by the same bloudy hands And the circumstance of the place where Moses died is very considerable in our Parallel for he must go up from the plains of Moab the land of his inheritance for so Moab signifieth de Patre the Land which descended to him from his Fathers to Mount Abarim where stood the Metropolis of Moab and where the greatest concourse of people was for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies transitus Near Abarim stood the Hill Nebo where was the Royal Palace and adjoyning to that was the Vertix Pisgah the Banqueting-house where he had a prospect of the Land of Canaan which God had promised to give him as an Inheritance yet here die he must not so much for his own sins as for the sins of the people who now had cast off all fear of God and what then should a King do among them Hosea 10.3 But our Moses must die say the Rebel-people according to the word of the Lord. Certainly there was no word of the Lord Jehovah that the people should put their King to death it must be some enthusiastick dream of an infatuated spirit from the God of this world that inspired them with such a Revelation The word which God spake concerning Moses Deut. 32.49 was onely this Ascende morere Go up and die He had an ascention even before his dissolution An ascention I call it because God had promised Exod. 33.14 to go up with him and to give him rest to gather him to his fathers and hide him in the clifts of the rock until the storm was over Exod. 33.22 So that though God had told him that it was a terrible thing that God would do with him Exod. 34.10 yet having the presence of an All-sufficient God with whom he might converse as a man talketh with his friend face to face Exod. 33.11 and having seen all the goodness of the Lord pass before him and proclaiming the Lord God to be gracious and merciful long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth forgiving iniquity transgression and sin and that would by no means clear the guilty Exod. 34.6 7. this made the face of our Moses to shine even when that black vail was laid over it And now he gives instruction to his Successor Joshua concerning the Church and People of God not doubting but that God under his conduct would bring that stiffnecked people into Canaan And then with an undaunted courage addresseth himself to his last Combat being assured of victory over all his Enemies and more like an Orator from his Desk than a dying man on the Scaffold he thus exhorteth the People as it is recorded by Josephus I thought it requisite lest I should fail of my duty to lay open the way that leadeth to your happiness Obey God and keep his Laws which I have given you not innovating any thing in Religion Hearken to the counsel of Eleazar the Priest and Joshua my successor with the Senate Be not stiff-necked and think it not your liberty to mutiny against the commandments of your Prince God forbid you should be so exasperated against them as against me for I have been more often in hazard of my life by your means than by my enemies I speak not this to upbraid you but to admonish you and make you wiser for the time to come in obeying the Laws of your Country in abhorring the Gods of the Nations and adhering to the Religion in which I die God having prefixed the day and place of my departure I give him thanks and submit And thus after mutual embraces between him and Eleazar the Priest blessing the People praying for himself and his enemies he laid down his earthly Tabernacle his Crown of Thorns and distracted Kingdoms to receive an immarcescible Crown of Glory and a Kingdom that cannot be moved eternal in the Heavens 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Super Os Domini And thus he died as the Rabbins interpret the Text with a kiss of God's mouth or according to the Word of the Lord. And now exeunt Tyranni His Murtherers having killed the Heir they go and take possession but the Land spewed them out one after another till Shiloh came to whom it did belong But as soon as the People had time to consider their great loss and the Books of the Law written by Moses and left as a Legacy to the People and were made sensible of the Rapine and Oppression of his Murtherers they wept extremely saith Josephus the men rent their clothes the women beat their breasts and sadness covered all faces his very Enemies being ashamed of that Horrid Parricide It was pity said some his Concessions had not been better considered Had he not been a King said others of them he might have lived longer And even those who had betrayed and murthered him would like Judas and Pilate have washt their hands from his bloud if it had been possible The Actors in this Tragedy would still keep themselves as unknown as the Executioner It was not we say the Presbyterians nor we say the Independents nor did the one destroy him as a King and the other as a man but both were Regicides and both lift up their hands against the Lords Anointed The London-Ministers endeavoured but in vain to wash their hands from that bloud but their Vindication carrieth a Confutation with it for they say The woful Miscarriages of the King himself which we cannot but acknowledge to be many and very great in his Government that have cost the three Kingdoms so dear and cast him down from his Excellency into a horrid Pit of Misery almost beyond example Was this a more likely means to
