A79864	A rod discovered, found, and set forth to whip the idolaters till they leave off their idolatry (which yet remains in the rulers of England, their ministers, and the people who follow thier wayes) which doth consist in the houses of high places, falsly called churches; the two universities, Cambridge and Oxford, (and their ministers, which are made by man, and not of God) and their ministers maintenance (not the ministers of Christs) which is portions of lands, tythes, offrings, oblations, obventions, and great houses for a certain dwelling place on the earth, and forms of oathes, all which is the fruit of idolaters, and the abomination of the heathen. So likewise here is described the true magistrate and his work; and the way (for he who is not) to become such a one; and likewise, the way for all people to come out of their idolatry, vo worship the true God in spirit and truth.

and such were never made priests by the command of the Lord but by man onely for Ieroboam he returned not from the evil of his wayes but made again of the lowest of the people priests for the high places and whosoever would he consecrated him and he became one of the Priests of the high places after the manner of other Nations viz. the Heathen 1 Kings 13.33 34. 2 Chron. 13.9 and this thing became a sin unto the House of Ieroboam even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the face of the earth And the Kings of Judah they set themselves against the Lord and agaist his Anointed as the Kings of the Heathen did do so did they for they ordained priests to burn Incense in the high places in the Cities of Judah 2 Kings 23.5 Acts 14.13 and in the places round about Jerusalem unto Baal the Sun the Moon and the Planets viz. Mars Venus Mercury Iupiter and Saturn and to all the host of Heaven after the abomination of the heathen and the Kings of the earth made Iupiter a priest and Pharoah King of Aegypt he had made him priests gave them portions to eat the Land the priests of Pharoah had Gen. 47.22 26 2 Kings 17.13 was not sold with the rest of the Aegyptians and Baal had priests made for him Now in the dayes of these Kings of Israel and Judah God raised up his own prophets and sent them to declare against these priests false prophets which the Kings of Judah and Israel had made for the Houses of high places like unto other Nations and likewise against both the Kings 2 Chron. 36 1● Ier. 25.3 4. the people and the high places too for all had transgressed very much after all the abominations of the Heathen go read and see the testimony that the man of God bare against Ieroboam 1 King 13.1 2 3 4. and of Elijah against Ahab and the prophets of Baal 1 King 18. chap. and the Vision that Isaiah saw in the dayes of Vzziah Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Judah Isa 1.1 2 3. concerning Judah and Jerusalem Thy princes said he are rebellious and companions for thieves every one loveth gifts and followeth after rewards And of such priests as they had made he said His Watchmen are blind they are all ignorant they are all dumb Dogs they cannot bark yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough they are Shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their own way every one for his gain from his Quarters Isa 56.10 11 12.

Ier. 7.31 19.5 who sate and took counsel together and built high places and made priests for them that was such a work and is such a work now as God never required at their hands to do for the Lord disowns all and said Who hath required this at your hands I commanded them not nor spake it neither came it into my minde and those priests they preacht for hire and studyed or divined for mony but such the Lord never sent for see Ezekiels testimony against them Ezek. 13. chap. of Israel And in chap. 22. against both the princes prophets priests and people of Ierusalem And likewise in chap. 34. against the shepherds of Israel And Hosea he bate testimony against them Hos 4.6 7 8 9. 5.1 8.3 4 5. 10.8 And Amos he bare testimony against them Amos. 7.9.10.11.12.13 ver And Miaah he bare his testimony against them also Mic. 1.5 3.1.2.3.5.9.10.11.12 ver and Zachariah 11.17 And thus you may here all see how the Lord God by his prophets disowned and abhorr'd the works of the Kings and Rulers of the Earth and peo●le for making Images and worshipping of them and for building up of Houses of high places such as are now called Churches and likewise for their consecrating and ordaining of priests for those high places Well then was it a sin in those days And do not the Kings and Rulers of the earth that do the same things either in whole or in part now commit sin as well as they did And do ye think that the Lord God does not abhor their works now as he did then And do ye think ye Rulers of England priests and people to escape the judgements of the Lord for your doing of such things more then they Or do you think that they were greater sinners then you are I tell you nay for except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish You see that many generations passed before King Iosiah came and what do you think that the Lord cannot raise up the like in England to do the like work here as Iosiah did do and pro●per in it likewise till it is finished I tell you all That your time is drawing on and a reward for your works you shall be sure of for such as you have sown such you shall reap for in a●l that ye have done ye have but sown to the flesh and of the flesh ye shall reape death and destruction from the Lord God Dist 23 ●ist 3.

of Obed Edom the Gittite and there it continued three Months and it was told David the King saying the Lord hath blessed the House of Obed Edom all that partain unto him because of the Ark of God So David went and brought up the Ark of God from the House of Obed Edom into the City of David which is Zion with gladness and David made him Houses in the City of David 1 Chron. 15.1 16.1 2 Chron. 5.2 5. which is Zion and he prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched for it a Tent so they brought the Ark of God set it in the midst of the Tent or the Tabernacle that David had pitched for it Now it came to pass as David sate in his house that David said to Nathan the Prophet Lo I dwell in an House of Cedars but the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord remaineth under Curtains the Lord had given David rest round about from all his Enemies and Nathan said to the King Go and do all that is in thy heart for the Lord is with thee Read 1 Chron. 28 29. chap. now it was in the heart of David to build an House of Rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord and David had made ready Stuff for the building of it But the word of the Lord came to Nathan the Prophet saying Go and tell David my servant thus saith the Lord Thou shalt not build me an House to dwell in for I have not dwelt in an House since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day but have gone from Tent to Tent and from one Tabernacle to another and the Lord said unto David When thy dayes be fulfilled 2 Sam. 7. chap and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers I will set up thy seed after thee which shall proceed out of thy bowels and I will establish his Kingdom and he shall build an house for my Name Now when Davids dayes and his work was both near finished David assembled all the Princes of Israel and the Princes of the Tribes and the Captains of thousands and the Captains of hundreds and the Stewards and Officers and the mighty men and all the valiant men unto Jerusalem then David the King stood up upon his feet and said Hear me my Brethren and my People As for me I had in my heart to build an house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord and for the Footstool of our God and I had made ready for the building but God said unto me Thou shalt not build an House for my Name Because thou hast been a man of War and hast shed much blood Now said David to all the people The Lord hath given me many sons and out of all my sons the Lord hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon this Throne of the Kingdom of the Lord over Israel and the Lord said David said unto me Solomon thy son he shall build me my House and my Courts for I have chosen him to be my son and I will be his Father and he shall be my son And David called for Solomon his son and David said to Solomon My son as for me it was in my mind to build an House unto the Name of the Lord my God but the Word of the Lord came to me saying Thou hast shed blood abundantly and hast made great wars thou shalt not build an House unto my Name because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight behold a son shall be born unto thee his Name shall be Solomon and he shall be a man of rest and I will give him rest from all his Enemies round about and I wil give peace and quietness all his dayes unto Israel and Solomon he shall build an House for my Name and he shall be my son and I will be his Father and I will establish the Throne of his Kingdom over Israel for ever And David said Thou Solomon my son know thou the God of thy Father and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an House for the Sanctuary be strong and do it and the Lord be with thee and prosper thou and build the House of the Lord thy God as he hath said of thee onely the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding and David gave unto Solomon his son the pattern of the Porch and of the Houses thereof and of the Treasures thereof and of the upper-Chambers thereof and of the inward Parlors and the place of the Mercy-Seat and the pattern of the Courts of the House of the Lord and of all the Chambers round about and of all the Treasuries of the House and of the Treasuries for the dedicate things and also 2 Chron 28. ch for the courses of the Priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the House of the Lord all that which David had given him by the Spirit shewed he unto Solomon for said David to Solomon the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me even all the works of this Pattern And when David dyed Solomon his son reigned in his stead when Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his Kingdom and found that the Lord his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly then Solomon spake unto all Israel to the Captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the Judges and to every Governor in all Israel and the chief of the Fathers so Solomon and all the Congregation with him went up to the High Place that is at Gibeon for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the Wilderness 2 Chron 1. but the Ark of God had David brought up from Kiriathiearim to the place which David had prepared for it for he had pitched a Tent for it at Jerusalem now in the night did God appear to Solomon in Gibeon and the Lord said Ask what I shall give thee and Solomon said And now O Lord my God thou hast made thy servant King instead of David my Father and I am but a child and I know not how to go out or come in and thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen a great people that cannot be numbred nor counted for multitude give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discover between good and bad And this speech of Solomons pleased the Lord and tho Lord said unto him Because thou hast asked this thing 1 Kings 3. cha 5. chap. and hast not asked for thy self neither long life nor riches nor the life of thy Enemies but hast asked for thy self understanding to discern judgement Behold I have done acording to thy word lo I have given unto thee a wise and an understanding heart Then Solomon came from before the Tabernacle of the

Congregation that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem and reigned over Israel and Solomon said Now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side so that there is neither adversaries nor evil occurrent Behold I purpose to build an House unto the Name of the Lord my God as the Lord spake unto David my Father saying Thy son whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room he shall build an House unto my Name Then Solomon began to build the House of the Lord at Jerusalem in Mount Moriah where the Lord appointed unto David his father Deut. 12.10 11 12. 2 Chron. 3.1 2. and that was the place that God did choose to cause his Name to dwell and thither was the people to bring their tythes and first fruits their Burnt-offrings and their Sacrifices And Solomon began to build the House of the Lord at Jerusalem in the second year of the second Month in the fourth year of his reign and when the House was finished throughout all the parts thereof according to all the fashion of it then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated 1 Chron. 29.1 2 3 4 5. viz. the Gold the Slver and all the Instruments put he among the Treasuries of the Hduse of God and then Solomon assembled the Elders of Israel and all the Heads of the Tribes and the chief of the Fathers of the children of Israel unto Jerusalem to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord out of the City of David which is Zion and all the Elders of Israel came 2 Sam. 5.7 9. 1 Chron. 11.4 5 6 7 8. and the Levites took up the Ark and they brought up the Ark and the Tabernacle of the Congregation and all the holy Vessels that were in the Tabernacle these did the Priests and the Levites bring up And the Priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord unto his place to the Oracle of the House into the most Holy Place even under the Wings of the Cherubins and Solomon said unto the Lord I have huilt an House of habitation for thee and a place for thy dwelling for ever And blessed be the Lord God of Israel who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my Father David saying Since that day that I brought my people out of the Land of Aegypt I chose no City among all the Tribes of Israel to build an House in that my Name might be there neither chose I any man to be a Ruler over my people Israel but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel And said Solomon The Lord hath performed the word that he hath spoken for I am risen up in the room of David my Father am set on the Throne of Israel as the LORD promised to David my Father and I have built the HOUSE for the Name of the LORD GOD of ISRAEL and the Lord God said I have chosen Jerusalem that my Name may be there And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said unto him I have heard thy prayer and I have chosen this place to my self for an House of sacrifice for now have I chosen and sanctified this House 2 Chron. 33.7 Psal 132.13 2 Chron. 7.12 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22. that my Name may be there for ever and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually and my ears shall attend unto the prayers that is made in this place and as for thee said the Lord God to Solomon if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked and do according to all that I have commanded thee and shalt observe my Statutes and my Judgements then will I establish the Throne of thy Kingdom according as I covenanted with David thy Father saying There shall not fail thee a man to be Ruler in Israel but if ye turn away and forsake my Statutes and my my Commandments which I have ●et before you and shall go and serve other Gods and worship them then will I pluck ●hem up by the roots out of my Land which I have given them Deut. 12.10 11 and this Hou●e whi●h I have sanctified for my Name will I cast ●ut of my lig●t Therefore ●ake notice First God told the ●hildre of ●ra●l when ●he● were in the Wilderness That when they came into the ●●n● whi●h he w●uld ●ive them to possess and that when he had given them rest ●rom all thei● Enemies round about then there should be a place which he would choos● to cause his Name to dwell in 2 Chron. 6.5 6. Secondly Th●t in the Land of Canaan Ierusalem was the place that God chose from am●ng all the Tr●bes of Israel that his Name might be there T●ir●ly 2 Chron. 3.1 Deut. 12.5 Joh. 4.20 Exod. 23.14 15 16. Deut. 16.16 2 Chron. 8.12 13 14 15 16. That at Ierusalem Solomon built in Mount Moriah a House called a Temple unto the Name of the Lord and for his Worship according to the Command of God 2 Sam. 7.12 13 14. 1 Kings 5.5 6. chap. Fourthly That to Ierusalem was the people of Israel required to bring their Burnt-Offrings their Sacrifices their first Fruits and their tythes Then Solomon offered Burnt-Offerings unto the Lord on the Altar of the Lord which he had built before the Porch even after a certain rate every day offering according to the Commandment of Moses and he appointed according to the order of David his father the Courses of the Priests to their Service and the Levites to their Charges the Porters also by their courses at every Gate so the House of God was perfected Now that which I come to write of further is That God required the people of Israel to pay the Priests and Levites their first fruits and tythes unto them in the land of Canaan Deu. 10.8 9 14. cha ver 22 to the end 18.1 2 3 4 5 6. and that they were to bring their Offerings and Sacrifices their first fruits and their tythes unto the place which he should chose that to Jerusalem were the first fruits and the tythes brought into the House of the Lord to be for food for the Priests the Levites the fatherless and the widow and the stranger that they might eat and be satisfied And Hezekiah King of Iudah sent to all Israel and Iudah to come to Ierusalem to keep the Passeouer unto tne Lord God of Israel 2 Chron. 30 31. chap. and Hezekiah appointed the courses of the Priests and the Levires after their courses every man according to his service the Priests and tae Levites for Burnt-offerings and for Peace-offerings he appointed also the Kings portion of his substance for the Burnt-offering to wit For the Morning and the Evening Burnt-offerings for the Sabbaths and for the New Moons and for the set Feasts as it is in the Law of the Lord Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to

gatherer of Sycamore fruit and Amos was among the Herdsmen of Tekoa and said Amos The Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said unto me Go prophesie unto my people Israel Here you may see that Amos was not tryed by Commissioners of Tryers nor sent out to prophesie by any such as they are but he was sent out of the Lord alone to prophesie and he said The Lord will roare from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem c. Ezek. 1.1 2 3. 2 3. chap. Neither was Ezekiel sent by man to prophesie nor by man made a Watchman over Israel But the Word of the Lord came expresly unto Ezekiel in the Land of the Caldeans by the River Chebar and Ezekiel said that he saw the appearance of the likenesse of the glory of the Lord and when he saw it he fell upon his face and he heard the voyce of one that spake and said Ezekiel He said unto me Son of man stand upon thy feet and I will speake unto thee and the spirit of the Lord entered into me when he spake unto me and set me upon my feet that I hrard him that spake unto me and he said unto me Son of man I send thee to the children of Israel and thou shalt speak my words unto them whether they will hear or whether they will forbear And Ezekiel said Moreover he said unto me Son of man Eat that thou findest eat shis Roll and go speak unto the House of Israel So I opened my mouth and he caused me to eat that Roll and he said unto me Son of man Cause thy belly to eat and fill thy bowels with this Roll that I give thee Then did I eat it and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetnesse And he said unto me Son of man go get thee unto the House of Israel and speak with my words unto them c. So the spirit of the Lord lift me up and took me away and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me And it came to pass at the end of seven dayes that the word of the Lord came unto me saying Son of man I have made thee a Watchman unto the House of Israel therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me c. Neither was Jeremiah ordained by man to be a Prophet nor was he by any King of the earth Ier. 1.4 to 10. 27 ver 2. chap. 1 2 5. ver chap. 3.6.12 4.1 or other consecrated nor by any man sent forth to prophesie but said Jeremiah The word of the Lord came unto me saying Before I formed thee in the Belly I knew thee and before thou camest out of the Womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations And the Lord put forth his hand and touched Jeremiahs mouth and the Lord said unto him Behold I have put my words into thy mouth and the Lord said unto Jeremiah See I have this day set thee over Nations and over Kingdoms to root out and to pull down and to destroy and to throw down to build and to plant Thou therefore gird up thy loynes and arise and speak unto them all that I command thee be not dismayed at their faces lest I confound thee before them And the Word of the Lord came moreover unto Jeremiah saying Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem saying Thus saith the Lord What iniquity have your fathers found in me that they are gone far from me and have walked after vanity and are become vain And again in the dayes of Josiah said the Lord unto Jeremiah Go and proclaim these words toward the North and say Return thou backsliding Israel saith the Lord if thou wilt return O Israel saith the Lord return unto me and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight then shalt thou not remove and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you for I am merciful saith the Lord and I will not keep mine anger for ever And the Lord said unto Jeremiah ●er 1.18 19. Behold I have made thee this day a defenced City an Iron Pillar Brazen Walls against the whole Land against the Kings of Judah and against the Princes thereof and against the priests thereof and against the people of the Land and they shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against thee for I am with thee said the Lord to deliver thee c. read the 20. chap. the 23. and 26. chap. of Ieremiah c. And Isaiah was made a Prophet but not by man neither by any King or Ruler of the Earth was he sent forth to prophesie Isa 6. chap. but he was consecrated and sent forth of the Lord alone for said Isaiah In the year that King Vzziah dyed I saw the Lord sitting upon a Throne high and lifted up and his Traine filled the Temple and above it stood the Seraphims and one cryed unto another and said Holy holy holy is the Lord of Hosts the whole earth is full of his glory And the posts of the door moved at him that cryed and the house was filled with smoke Then said Isaiah Wo is me for I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips for mine eyes have seen the King the Lord of Hosts Then flew one of the Seraphims unto me having a live coal in his hand which he had taken with the Tongs from off the Altar and he laid it upon my mouth and said Lo this hath touched thy lips and thine iniquity is taken away and thy sin is purged And Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord saying Whom shall I send And who shall go for us Then said Isaiah Here am I send me And the Lord said unto Isaioh Isa 8.1.11 ver 50.4 5 6 7 Go and tell this people Hear ye indeed but understand not and see ye indeed but perceive not c. And Isaiah said the Lord spake unto him with a strong hand and instructed him that he should not walk in the way of the people and he said the Lord gave him the tongue of the learned that he should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary and the Lord opened his ear and said Isaiah I was not rebellious neither turned away back c. And thus ye may see that the true prophets of the Lord and the true and faithful Apostles and Ministers of the Gospel were ordained of the Lord and chosen and called and sanctified by the Lord alone and not by the Kings and Rulers of the earth nor by the Pope and his Adherents neither by Commissioners that were appointed by them or any of them so to do And again Those Prophets Apostles and Ministers that God and Christ sent forth were no raylers nor scoffers nor
