the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the World who was taken from among men a Lamb without blemish and without spot holy harmless and separate from sinners The Door-posts of the House were to be sprinkled with the bloud of the Lamb to signifie our security from the Divine vengeance by the bloud of sprinkling The Lamb was to be roasted and eaten whole typifying the great sufferings of our blessed Saviour who was to pass through the fire of Divine wrath and to be wholly embrac'd and entertain'd by us in all his Offices as King Priest and Prophet None but those that were clean and circumcised might eat of it to shew that only true believers holy and good men can be partakers of Christ and the merits of his Death It was to be eaten standing with their Loins girt and their staff in their hand to put them in mind what haste they made out of the house of bondage and to intimate to us what present diligence we should use to get from under the empire and tyranny of sin and Satan under the conduct and assistance of the Captain of our Salvation The eating of it was to be mixed with bitter herbs partly as a memorial of that bitter servitude which they underwent in the Land of Egypt partly as a type of that repentance and bearing of the cross duties difficult and unpleasant which all true Christians must undergo Lastly it was to be eaten with unleavened Bread all manner of leaven being at that time to be banished out of their Houses with the most critical diligence and curiosity to represent what infinite care we should take to cleanse and purifie our hearts to purge out the old leaven that we may be a new lump and that since Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us therefore we should keep the Feast the Festival commemoration of his Death not with old leaven neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth 6. THE Places of their Publick Worship were either the Tabernacle made in the Wilderness or the Temple built by Solomon between which in the main there was no other difference than that the Tabernacle was an ambulatory Temple as the Temple was a standing Tabernacle together with all the rich costly Furniture that was in them The parts of it were three the Holiest of all whither none entred but the High-Priest and that but once a Year this was a type of Heaven the holy place whither the Priests entred every Day to perform their Sacred Ministrations and the outward Court whither the People came to offer up their Prayers and Sacrifices In the Sanctum Sanctorum or Holiest of all there was the Golden Censer typifying the Merits and Intercession of Christ the Ark of the Covenant as a representation of him who is the Mediator of the Covenant between God and man the Golden Pot of Manna a type of our Lord the true Manna the Bread that came down from Heaven the Rod of Aaron that budded signifying the Branch of the Root of Jesse that though our Saviour's Family should be reduced to a state of so much meanness and obscurity as to appear but like the trunk or stump of a Tree yet there should come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a branch grow out of his roots which should stand for an Ensign of the People and in him should the Gentiles trust And within the Ark were the two Tables of the Covenant to denote him in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and who is the end and perfection of the Law Over it were the Cherubims of glory shadowing the Mercy-seat who looking towards each other and both to the Mercy-seat denoted the two Testaments or Dispensations of the Church which admirably agree and both direct to Christ the Mediator of the Covenant The Propitiatory or Mercy-seat was the Golden covering to the Ark where God veiling his Majesty was wont to manifest his Presence to give Answers and shew Himself reconciled to the People herein eminently prefiguring our Blessed Saviour who interposes between us and the Divine Majesty whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through faith in his bloud for the remission of sins so that now we may come boldly to the Throne of Grace and find mercy to help us Within the Sanctuary or the Holy Place was the Golden Candlestick with Seven-Branches representing Christ who is the Light of the World and who enlightens every one that comes into the World and before whose Throne there are said to be seven Lamps of Fire which are the seven spirits of God The Table compassed about with a Border and a Crown of Gold denoting the Ministry and the Shew-bread set upon it shadowing out Christ the Bread of Life who by the Ministry of the Gospel is offered to the World here also was the Golden Altar of Incense whereon they burnt the sweet Perfumes Morning and Evening to signifie to us that our Lord is the true Altar by whom all our Prayers and Services are rendred the odour of a sweet smell acceptable unto God to this the Psalmist refers Let my Prayer be set forth before thee as Incense and the lifting up of my hands as the Evening Sacrifice The third part of the Tabernacle as also of the Temple was the Court of Israel wherein stood the Brazen Altar upon which the Holy Fire was continually preserved by which the Sacrifices were consumed one of the Five great Prerogatives that were wanting in the second Temple Here was the Brazen Laver with its Basis made of the brazen Looking-glasses of the Women that assembled at the Door of the Tabernacle wherein the Priests washed their Hands and their Feet when going into the Sanctuary and both they and the People when about to offer Sacrifice to teach us to purifie our hearts and to cleanse our selves from all filthiness of flesh and spirit especially when we approach to offer up our services to Heaven hereunto David alludes I will wash mine hands in innocency so will I compass thine Altar O Lord. Solomon in building the Temple made an addition of a fourth Court the Court of the Gentiles whereinto the unclean Jews and Gentiles might enter and in this was the Corban or Treasury and it is sometimes in the New Testament called the Temple To these Laws concerning the Place of Worship we may reduce those that relate to the holy Vessels and Utensils of the Tabernacle and the Temple Candlesticks Snuffers Dishes c. which also had their proper mysteries and significations 7. THE stated times and seasons of their worship are next to be considered and they were either Daily Weekly Monthly or Yearly Their Daily worship was at the time of the Morning and the Evening Sacrifice their Weekly solemnity was the Sabbath which was to be kept with all imaginable care and strictness they being commanded to rest

bottom rent in sunder to shew that his death had revealed the mysteries and destroyed the foundations of the legal Oeconomy and put a period to the whole Temple-ministration Nay the Jews themselves confess that forty years before the destruction of the Temple a date that corresponds exactly with the death of Christ the Lot did no more go up into the right hand of the Priest this is meant of his dismission of the Scape-goat nor the scarlet Ribbon usually laid upon the forehead of the Goat any more grow white this was a sign that the Goat was accepted for the remission of their sins nor the Evening Lamp burn any longer and that the gates of the Temple opened of their own accord By which as at once they confirm what the Gospel reports of the opening of the Sanctum Sanctorum by the scissure of the veil so they plainly confess that at that very time their Sacrifices and Temple-services began to cease and fail As indeed the reason of them then ceasing the things themselves must needs vanish into nothing 10. THE third sort of Laws given to the Jews were Judicial and Political these were the Municipal Laws of the Nation enacted for the good of the State and were a kind of appendage to the second Table of the Decalogue as the Ceremonial Laws were of the first They might be reduced to four general heads such as respected men in their private and domestical capacities concerning Husbands and Wives Parents and Children Masters and Servants such as concerned the Publick and the Common-wealth relating to Magistrates and Courts of Justice to Contracts and matters of right and wrong to Estates and Inheritances to Executions and Punishments c. such as belong'd to strangers and matters of a foreign nature as Laws concerning Peace and War Commerce and Dealing with persons of another Nation or lastly such as secured the honour and the interests of Religion Laws against Apostates and Idolaters Wizards Conjurers and false Prophets against Blasphemy Sacriledge and such like all which not being so proper to my purpose I omit a more particular enumeration of them These Laws were peculiarly calculated for the Jewish State and that while kept up in that Country wherein God had placed them and therefore must needs determine and expire with it Nor can they be made a pattern and standard for the Laws of other Nations for though proceeding from the wisest Law-giver they cannot reasonably be imposed upon any State or Kingdom unless where there is an equal concurrence of circumstances as there were in that people for whom God enacted them They went off the Stage with the Jewish Polity and if any parts of them do still remain obligatory they bind not as Judicial Laws but as branches of the Law of Nature the reason of them being Immutable and Eternal I know not whether it may here be useful to remark what the Jews so frequently tell us of that the intire body of the Mosaick Law consists of DCXIII Precepts intimated say they in that place where 't is said Moses commanded us a Law where the Numeral Letters of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Law make up the number of DCXI. and the two that are wanting to make up the complete number are the two first Precepts of the Decalogue which were not given by Moses to the people but immediately by God himself Others say that there are just DCXIII letters in the Decalogue and that every letter answers to a Law But some that have had the patience to tell them assure us that there are two whole words consisting of seven letters supernumerary which in my mind quite spoils the computation These DCXIII Precepts they divide into CCXLVIII Affirmative according to the number of the parts of man's body which they make account are just so many to put him in mind to serve God with all his bodily powers as if every member of his body should say to him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 make use of me to fulfil the command and into CCCLXV Negative according to the number of the days of the year that so every day may call upon a man and say to him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 oh do not in me transgress the Command Or as others will have it they answer to the Veins or Nerves in the body of man that as the complete frame and compages of man's body is made up of CCXLVIII Members and CCCLXV Nerves and the Law of so many affirmative and so many negative Precepts it denotes to us that the whole perfection and accomplishment of man lies in an accurate and diligent observance of the Divine Law Each of these divisions they reduce under twelve houses answerable to the twelve Tribes of Israel In the Affirmative Precepts the first House is that of Divine Worship consisting of twenty Precepts the second the House of the Sanctuary containing XIX the third the House of Sacrifices wherein are LVII the fourth that of Cleanness and Pollution containing XVIII the fifth of Tithes and Alms under which are XXXII the sixth of Meats and Drinks containing VII the seventh of the Passeover concerning Feasts containing XX the eighth of Judgment XIII the ninth of Doctrine XXV the tenth of Marriage and concerning Women XII the eleventh of Judgments criminal VIII the twelfth of Civil Judgments XVII In the Negative Precepts the first House is concerning the worship of the Planets containing XLVII Commands the second of separation from the Heathens XIII the third concerning the reverence due to holy things XXIX the fourth of Sacrifice and Priesthood LXXXII the fifth of Meats XXXVIII the sixth of Fields and Harvest XVIII the seventh of Doctrine XLV the eighth of Justice XLVII the ninth of Feasts X the tenth of Purity and Chastity XXIV the eleventh of Wedlock VIII the twelfth concerning the Kingdom IV. A method not contemptible as which might minister to a distinct and useful explication of the whole Law of Moses 11. THE next thing considerable under the Mosaical Oeconomy was the methods of the Divine revelation by what ways God communicated his mind to them either concerning present emergencies or future events and this was done 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Apostle tells us at sundry times or by sundry degrees and parcels and in diverse manners by various methods of revelation whereof three most considerable the Urim and Thummim the audible voice and the spirit of Prophecy imparted in dreams visions c. We shall make some brief remarks upon them referring the Reader who desires fuller satisfaction herein to those who purposely treat about these matters The Urim and Thummim was a way of revelation peculiar to the High Priest Thou shalt put on the breast-plate of Judgment the Urim and the Thummim and they shall be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before the Lord and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually Thus Eleazar
