The Mischeife of MIXT COMMVNIONS INstead of such mixturs Professors are called upon by the word to Separation This separation both name and thing hath a very ill name and opinion in the World But if we will heare the Scriptures if we will be for purity we must doe it There hath been in all Ages a generation of Pharisaicall men not without some shew of learning that have alwayes counterplotted to keep Ordinances low and keep under the power of godlinesse But if we desire our righteousnesse should exceed the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharisees as Christ commands Matth. 5.20 we must not be behinde the Scribes and Pharisees See the ●oot 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whose name signifies and their practise manifested that they did separate They separated from the grosse offences of the World Luke 18.11 They separated from any semblance or society of the grosse sort of people they would neither be with them nor like them Counting the common people John 7.49 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but MOVEABLE Annimals yea ignorant Ideots and so accursed Therefore their common phrase of the Commonalty was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 People of the Earth They separated from the common sort of people in habit garments or attire contemning the bravery of the World they attyred themselves in such a garbe as might have more shew of sanctity like them of old Zech. 13.4 And this Sect of Pharisees were as ancient as diverse hundred years afore Christ 'T was their common phrase as R. Sophon testifies to say The garments of the people are the trampling of the Pharisees And they separated in their washings and purifyings to keep themselves undefiled with worldly things Matth. 15.2 Mark 7.3 4 5. And in many other things they separated from the common people But that which is most pertinent to our purpose is they separated from their company as much as possibly they could Luke 7.39 like them of old Isa 65.5 Come not neer Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Touch me not according to that of Luke 7.39 And the Publican stood afarr off because the Pharisee would not joyne in worship with him So then not to separate at all is to be behind a Pharisee not to separate more then a Pharisee is not to obey Christ that our righteousnesse should exceed theirs nor to obey the generall voice of the Scriptures from Genesis to the Revelation Gen. 4.16 Caine went out from the PRESENCE of the LORD that is Caine was cast out of the Church otherwise Gods presence is every where And 't is mentioned Gen. 6.2 as a most sinfull mixture that the Sons of God took to Wives the Daughters of men And thus wee might goe on step by step thorough every book of the Bible but the multitudes of businesses command me to be briefe In 1 Kings 8.53 Solomon urgeth it to God in prayer for a blessing on Israel that they were a people separated from all the people of the earth In Ezra 10.11 they are commanded to separate themselves from the people of the Land as well as from their strange Wives Isa 52.11 the precept runs thus Depart yee depart yee goe out from thence touch no uncleane thing goe yee out of the midst of her be yee cleane Observe 1. That here is no expression of Babylon 2. That the intimations of the Chapter extend it to a separating from all Nations as to a polluting mixture 3. That t is expresse in the Text that the designe of God is that we so separate as to keep our selves from pollution with others 4. That the Apostle 2 Cor. 6.17 doth extend this place further then to the Jewes or to Babylon or the like particular place 5. That the Jewes were not now in Captivity This duty of separation is commanded likewise in the New Testament to all Christians In 2 Cor. 6.14 c. Be yee not unequally yoaked together with unbeleivers for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse And what communion hath light with darknesse and what concord hath Christ with Belial Or what part hath he that beleeveth with an Infidell And what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols For yee are the Temple of the living God as God hath sayd I will dwell in them and walke in them and I will be their God and they shall be my people Wherefore come out from among them and be yee separate saith the Lord and touch not the uncleane thing and I will receive you and I will be a Father unto you and yee shall be my Sons and Daughters saith the Lord Almighty Observe 1. That great famous men for learning and piety Erasmus Beza Calvin Piscator c. doe not thinke this to be restrained to Marriage as some have dreamed by occasion of the phrase Vnequally yoaked but of communicating or partnership with men in spirituall pollution Plainely the Apostles bidding them Come out from among them cannot relate to Marriage once plighted For he states the question contrary 1 Cor. 7.12 c. That the beleeving married person may dwell with the unbeleiving yoakefellow And the Apostle levels his exhortation against all spirituall pollution and particularly against Idols and Heathenish Temples c. 2. That the Corinthians were neither Jewes nor were they in Babylon 3. That unlesse we thus separate God will not be a Father to us c. In Revel 18.4 this duty of separating is commanded to all Beleevers by a voice from Heaven John saith I heard a voice from Heaven saying Come out of her my people that yee be not partakers of her sins that yee partake not of her plagues Observe 1. That this is spoken to John a Jew when the Jewes properly so called were not in Babylon but in Jerusalem and Judea as doe testifie the Gospell of John and of the other Evangelists And 2. t is spoken to all Gods people in opposition to all Nations that had been polluted Vers 3. And 3. that it is meant of all fellowship with such as use a polluted worship with enmity against purity As Christ is sayd to be crucified in the street of the great City which is spiritually called SODOM and AEGYPT Revel 11.8 Though crucified locally at Jerusalem yet spiritually in Aegipt and Sodom because those names signifie filthy pollution and
