A40161 A distinction between the new covenant and the old and how that in the old covenant the Jews priests lips were to preserve the Jews peoples knowledge: but in the new and everlasting covenant Christ the high-priest, is the treasure of wisdom and knowledge, and he filleth the earth with the knowledge of the Lord God; and the earth being full of the knowledge of the Lord God, then there is no want of it in the eath. And Christ the high-priest, he doth not only fill the earth with knowledge of the Lord God, but covereth the earth with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters do the sea; so the earth shall not be seen. So then it may be seen, that the substance in the new covenant is far beyond the figure in the old covenant. Read, hear, see, perceive and understand, receive and possess. Fox, George, 1624-1691. 1679 (1679) Wing F1795A; ESTC R220232 3,646 1

A DISTINCTION between the New Covenant and the Old And how that in the Old Covenant The Jews Priests Lips were to Preserve the Jews Peoples Knowledge But in the New and Everlasting Covenant CHRIST the High-Priest is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge and he filleth the Earth with the Knowledge of the Lord God and the Earth being Full of the Knowledge of the Lord God then there is no want of it in the Earth And Christ the High-Priest he doth not only fill the Earth with the Knowledge of the Lord God but Covereth the Earth with the Knowledge of the Lord as the Waters do the Sea so the Earth shall not be seen So then it may be seen that the Substance in the New Covenant is far beyond the Figure in the Old Covenant Read Hear See Perceive and Understand Receive and Possess IT is written in the Prophecies of Isaiah the 11th Chapter where speaking of the peaceable Kingdom of Christ that was to come he saith They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy Mountain for the Earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea So this was a Prophecy of that Day to come it was not in the Dayes of Isaiah But Mark In THAT Day when the Earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea In that Day there shall be a Root of Jesse which shall stand for an Ensign of the people to it to wit this Ensign shall the Gentiles seek and their Rest shall be Glorious Now many of the Gentiles have found this Glorious Rest and this Ensign and to this Ensign do the people gather and cannot forsake it and all the Warryers in the World cannot pluck down this Ensign nor take it from the people with their Carnal Weapons Now this is the day of Christ in his New Covenant of Light Life and Grace in which the Earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord as the VVaters do cover the Sea Mark The Earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord. So then the Earth is not Empty when it is full of the Knowledge of the Lord. And the Knowledge of the Lord shall COVER the Earth it shall not only be Full of it but it shall cover the Earth so as the Earth shall not be seen As the VVaters do cover the Sea that when you are in the Sea you cannot see any Land or Earth so shall the Knowledge of the Lord be in the New-Covenant For the Lord saith I will write my Laws in their Hearts and put them in their Minds that they shall not need to say unto one another know the Lord for all shall know Me from the greatest unto the least And they shall not need every man to teach his Neighbour saying know the Lord. Now Mark If there be no need to say one unto another or unto their Neighbour know the Lord for the Earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord and the Knowledge of the Lord shall cover the Earth as the Waters do the Sea in the New Covenant of Light Life and Grace so that the Earth cannot be seen then there is no need of the Priests or Teachers Lips to preserve the Peoples Knowledge for that was only used in the Old Covenant under Moses and whilst he was read the people was under the Vail And therefore Christ abolished the first Priesthood with his Vail who had his Tythes for his Work and Service whose Lips were to preserve the Peoples Knowledge that was the People of the Jews that particular Nation But Christ in the New Covenant is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge so that in this Day of Christ the Root of Jesse shall stand up as an Ensign for the people and the Gentiles shall seek to it to wit the Nations which many have found And God hath given Christ for a New Covenant to the Jews not according to the Old and for a Covenant of Light to enlighten the Gentiles also who is God's Salvation to the Ends of the Earth That so in this Day of Christ and Salvation who is a High-Priest Holy and Harmless and Separate from Sinners made higher then the Heavens who is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge he takes away the Vail of Moses and takes away the Vail and Covering that hath been spread over all Nations So it is Christ that fills the Earth with Knowledge and that the Knowledge of the Lord shall cover the Earth as the Waters do the Sea so that in this Knowledge to know God and Christ Jesus whom he hath sent is Eternal Life So this High-Priest Christ Jesus his Work is beyond the Jews High-Priests whose Lips were to preserve the Jewish Nation 's Knowledge for Christ the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge fills the whole Earth with Knowledge and covers the Earth with the Knowledge of God as the VVaters cover the Sea in his Day of the New-Covenant And are not these the Days of the New Covenant and the Gospel which is not according to the Old And then what will all you Priests that are made at Schools and Colledges and Bishops do in this Day with all your fat Bishopricks and Parsonages when that people need not be taught by you the Knowledge of the Lord Nor need the people send their Children to Schools and Colledges to learn there the Arts and how to teach people the Knowledge of the Lord when the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord and covered with it as the Waters do cover the Sea in the Days of this New Covenant so then there will be no need of your Teachings And if you come to receive this Day in your Time then would not you forsake your Fat Benefices and Personages and return unto people their Tythes and confess that Christ who is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge in the new covenant saith Freely you have received freely give and this Commandment of the Lord of Lords is not to be broken and say there is no need in the new covenant to teach people to know the Lord no not from the least to the greatest of them For God hath written his Law in their Hearts and put it in their Minds in the Days of this new covenant and they are God's people and he is their God and they all know him from the greatest to the least of them So that this new covenant is not according to the Jews old covenant amongst that particular Nation of the Jews who had a Tribe of Priests and Levites whose Lips were to preserve the peoples Knowledge for which they had their Tythes But Christ is come in his New Covenant and hath taken away the First Covenant and abolished it and dissannulled the Commandment that gave him his Tythes and establishes the Second and Everlasting Covenant where all shall be taught of God and saith to them that declared this New Covenant and preached his Gospel freely you have received freely give and they were to go and declare this without Bag or Staff So in the New Covenant they had no need of Purse Silver Bag or Staff for they that preached the Gospel lived of the Gospel So the Gospel of Life and Salvation is Good News and Glad Tidings being preached to and in every Creature under Heaven and the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation hath appeared unto all men to teach them And Christ doth enlighten every Man that cometh into the World with the Life in him the Word by which all things were made to believe in and to give them Knowledge So this High-Priest is he that filleth and covereth the Earth with the Knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea so that the Earth shall not be seen and so he both gives and preserves the peoples knowledge And in these Days of Christ in his New Covenant God poureth out his Spirit upon all Flesh to Instruct Teach and Lead them by which Spirit Sons and Daughters way Prophesie and the Old Men may dream Dreams and the Young Men and Hand-maids and Servants may see Visions by the Spirit which God hath poured upon them hath given them a Spiritual Knowledge which Spirit reveals the Things of God unto them and leads them into all Truth For in the old covenant the Lord poured out his Spirit upon the House of Israel and gave them of his good Spirit to Instruct them though they rebelled against it but in his New Covenant which is not according to the Old he pours out of his Spirit not only upon the Jews but upon all Flesh of other Nations as well as the Jews that all Flesh may see the Glory of God and see their Salvation For the Lord saith in Isa 49.26 All flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and Redeemer the Mighty One of Jacob. And again in Isa 40.5 the Lord saith Every Valley shall be exalted and every Mountain and Hill shall be made low and the crooked shall be made streight and the Rough plain and the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed all flesh shall see it together for the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it And is not this the Gospel Day of Christ in his New Covenant and must it not be fulfilled but your Mountains and Hills must be laid down and your crooked Wayes and Natures must be made streight smooth and plain before this Glory of the Lord be revealed and that all Flesh come to see it And in Luke 3.6 it s said all Flesh where he speaks of the fulfilling of Isa 40. how All flesh shall see the Salvation of God Again Isa 66. 18 26. the Lord saith All flesh shall come to VVorship before me And the Lord saith It shall come to pass that I will gather all Nations and Tongues and they shall come and see my Glory and I will set him for a Sign among them speaking of Christ And the Lord saith his Peoples Wilderness shall be like Eden and their Desart as the Garden of the Lord Isa 51.3 And are not these the Days of the New Covenant and to be fulfilled Swarthmore the 4th Moneth 1679.
