year that King Vzziah dyed 2 Chron. 26. 23. The Prophets discovery of the Lord is as followeth I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne as ready to judge Psa. 9. 7 8. But the Lord shall endure for ever he hath prepared his throne for judgement and he shall judge the world in righteousness he shall minister judgemen to the people in uprightness See Dan. 7. 9 10. I beheld till the thrones were cast down and the Ancient of days did sit whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like the pure wool his throne was like the very flame and his wheeles as burning fire a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him The judgement was set and the books were opened See that in Rev. 4. 2 3. And immediately I was in the Spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sate on the throne and he that sate was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine two glistering stones And there was a rain-bowe round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald which holds forth the Covenant of Grace See Revel. 6. 16. And they said to the mountains and rocks Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb And that in Rev. 20. 12. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works At vers. 19. And I saw a great white throne and him that sate on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them Or the Throne may be taken thus A Throne denotes Dignity Rule Kingliness Authority Sitting holds forth Rest The words being thus explained the meaning of them is this Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon the Throne that is ruling reigning triumphing in a peaceable manner over his enemies High and lifted up that is far above all principalities and powers might and dominion and every name that is named not onely in this world but that which is to come Eph. 1. 21. And his train filled the temple That is the skirts of his Robes with which he sate upon the Throne filled the Temple that is the Saints for they are the Temple of the living God 1 Cor. 3. 16 17. Above it that is above the Throne stood the Seraphims What are those Angels appearing as fire Psal. 104. 4. Who maketh his angels spirits his ministers a flaming fire These stood and attended Christ See Dan. 7. 10. Thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before the Ancient of days that sate upon the Throne whose garments were white as snow Each one had six wings with twain he covered his face as not able to endure the brightness of Christ's glory even as Moses did see Exod. 3. 6. Moreover he said I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob And Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God See that likewise in 1 King 19. 11 12 13. And he said Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord And behold the Lord passed by and a great and strong winde rent the mountains and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord but the Lord was not in the winde and after the winde an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice And it was so when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entring in of the cave Elijah could not endure the glory of God and therefore puts a mantle before his face And with twain he covered his feet as abashed in apprehension of their own infirmities and imperfections compared with God's incomparable perfection and majestie Job 4. 18. Behold he put no trust in his servants and his angels he charged with folly And with twain he did flie Which speaks their readiness and swiftness to go about God's business Psal. 110. 20. Bless the Lord ye his angels that excel in strength that do his commandments hearkning unto the voice of his word And one cried to another or this cried to this Holy holy holy Their constant employment is praising God See Rev. 4. 8. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about them and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and night saying Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty which was and is and is to come The whole earth is full of his glory or his glory is the fulness of the whole earth He fills heaven and earth with his glory we can look nowhere but behold glory Psal. 104. 24 25. Lord how manifold are thy works in wisdom hast thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches so is this great and wide sea And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoak that is the posts of the door of the house or temple moved The posts are those upon which the door hangs Their moving was a signe of God's indignation See Amos 9. 1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar and he said Smite the lintel of the door that the posts may shake and cut them in the head all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword he that fleeth of them shall not flee away and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered And the house was filled with smoak Another signe of his fierce anger incensed See Psal. 18. 7 8. Then the earth shook and trembled the foundations of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth There went up a smoak out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured coals were kindled by it See Deut. 29. 20. The Lord will not spare him but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousie shall smoak against that man Or by smoak here is meant darkness see Rev. 15. 8. And the temple was filled with smoak from the glory of God from his power and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled In this symbolical Vision Isaiah saw the Lord and the discovery of the Lord had such an efficacie and power upon his spirit that he was forced to cry out that he was undone So that the words are a fruit of that discovery that Isaiah had of Christ And there are in them these things to be considered First Here is what Isaiah said when he saw the Lord Wo is me or Wo belongs to

raised his Son from the dead There are divers sorts of faith spoken of in Scripture There is a believing from the relation of another Ioh. 4. 42. As the Samaritans did meerly upon the report of the woman but afterwards they believed because they had seen Christ and there is a believing as I said before that is not accompanied with salvation which Simon Magus had and there is a believing that is accompanied with salvation Heb. 10. 39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul This is the belief that is intended here Now that faith that saves is the faith of Christ which consisteth in yeelding up hearty obedience and subjection to this truth that God raised Christ from the dead We have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine that hath been delivered unto us Rom. 6. 17. This believing in God that he raised Christ from the dead is nothing but a souls lying down under the power and authority of it and saying It is so It is so Lord Lie down therefore under the power of this truth that God raised his Son say it is a truth and thou shalt be saved it is a truth Lord it is even so thou art saved Quest But you seem to make no difference between confession of the mouth and belief with the heart Answ. Yes but I do Faith in the heart believes this is a glorious truth that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and that Christ is within us Confession with the mouth declares and publisheth nothing but what saith in the heart believes is truth CHAP. II. The Parable of the rich man's flocks and herds and the poor man's ewe-lamb unfolded out of 2 Sam. 12. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Vers 1 And the Lord sent Nathan unto David and he came unto him and said unto him There were two men in one city the one rich and the other poor 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds 3 But the poor man had nothing save one little ewe-lamb which he had bought and nourished up and it grew up together with him and with his children it did eat of his own meat and drank of his own cup and lay in his bosom and was unto him as a daughter 4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him but took the poor mans lamb and dressed it for the man that was come to him 5 And Davids anger was greatly kindled against the man and he said to Nathan As the Lord liveth the man that hath done this thing shall surely die 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold because he did this thing and because he had no pity 7 And Nathan said unto David Thou art the man IN the first verse of this Chapter there is the Lord sending Nathan unto David with a Parable in his mouth It was the Lord that sent him unto David and that put the Parable into his mouth to declare to David From part of the first verse to the fifth verse Nathan makes known the Parable A Parable you know is to be taken otherwise then is set down in the letter of it and is much like an Allegory The first words of the Parable are these There were two men in one city the one rich and the other poor The City are the Saints see Heb. 12. 22. But ye are come unto mount Sion and unto the city of the living God the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels And Eph. 2. 22. Matth. 27. 53. Rev. 21. 2 The rich man is David who had exceeding many flocks and herds The poor man is Christ see Eccles. 9. 15. There was a little citie and few men in it and there came a great king against it and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it Now there was found in it a poor man and he by his wisdom delivered the city See likewise 2 Cor. 8. 9. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich yet for our sakes he became poor that ye through his poverty might be made rich See Psal. 34. 6. This poor man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles And in another place he is called The man Christ Jesus Now the rich man's and poor man's living in one city was their enjoying each other and having fellowship with each other in the city of God The rich man's flocks and herds are those exceeding many spiritual blessings that God had blessed David with which are those blessings that God blesseth many of his people with see Ephes. 1. 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ The poor man's ewe-lamb is the beloved disciple of Christ as John was see Luke 13. 23. Now there was leaning on Jesus bosome one of his disciples which Jesus loved This ewe-lamb the poor man bought with a price even with that price he bought the rest of his people with 1 Cor. 6. 12. Ye are bought with a price therefore glorifie God in your body and in your spirits which are Gods And then that in 1 Cor. 7. 23. Ye are bought with a price be not ye the servants of men Jesus Christ did not onely buy this ewe-lamb but nourished it up himself with the milk of himself it grew up together with him that is Christ brought it up with himself as he was brought up with the Father see Prov. 8. 20. And it grew up with his children that is with Christ's children Who are those Such that are of faith and so are blessed with faithful Abraham and are Gal. 3 7 9. Those which are born of the free woman that is born after the Spirit or by promise It did not grow up with Christ alone but with the rest of his children who grew up with him And it did eat of the poor man 's own meat and of the poor man 's own drink which is Christ himself That which nourished the lamb and which the lamb fed upon was the meat and drink of Christ which is his flesh and blood See in Joh. 6. 53 54 55 56. Then Jesus said unto them Verily verily I say unto you Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you have no life in you Whosoever eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life For my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwells in me and I in him That which Christ fed this Lamb with was Life and Spirit which is his flesh and blood O glorious food Friends it is the best food Christ hath or that he can feed a soul with Christ did not onely buy this

And it shall come to pass after the end of ten yeers that the Lord will visit Tyre and she shall turn to her hire and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth and her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord it shall not be treasured nor laid up for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord to eat sufficiently and for durable cloathing Her hire shall be holiness unto the Lord that is shall be converted to the service of God which was before employed against God Or the meaning of that saying There shall be upon the bells of the horses Holiness unto the Lord may be this There shall be holiness seen upon mean things poor things comparatively as a Bridle is A man shall look nowhere but he shall see Holiness written yea upon the most contemptible things If a man look behinde him or before him or on either side of him he shall see Holiness that is he shall see somewhat of God in every thing in the world shall see Holiness in mount Zion though mount Zion now seems to be that she is not black unholy yet there shall be Holiness seen there for it shall shine forth and all the world shall see it See Obadiah vers. 17. Vpon mount Zion shall be deliverance and there shall be holiness As there is written Holiness upon the brestplate of our high-priest Christ Jesus so shall there be Holiness written upon us upon mount Zion and it shall be visible too as it is in our Head and as it was in the High-priest under the Law See Exod. 39. 30. And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing like to the ingraving of a signet Holiness to the Lord or of the Lord And as holiness was ingraven upon the Brestplate of the High-priest under the Law so it shall be upon us Consider that in Joel 3. 17.

And they rosted the passeover with fire according to the ordinance but the other holy offerings sod they in pots and in caldrons and in pans and divided them speedily among the people and afterwards they made ready for themselves and the priests because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings See that in Ezek. 46. 22 23 24. In the four corners of the court there were courts of fourty cubits long and thirty cubits broad these four corners were of one measure and there was a new building round about in them round about them four and it was made with boylingplaces under the rows round about Then said he unto me These are the places of them that boil where the ministers of the house shall boyl the sacrifice of the people So that you see the pots in the letter were those in which the Sacrifices of the people were to be boiled The pots in the mysterie are those Divine discoveries and manifestations of Christ in which the spiritual Sacrifices of the Saints are and shall be boyled That they are the discoveries of Christ that fit a Sacrifice to be offered to God see Mal. 3. 2 3 4. But who may abide the day of his coming and who shall stand whon he appeareth for he is like refiners fire and like fullers soap and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver he shall purifie the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord as in the days of old and as in former yeers The fifth thing to be enquired into is What the Altar is The Altar is Christ The sixth thing to be enquired into is What the Bowls before the Altar are The Bowls in the letter were those in which was put

Then said I 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 6. Then flew one of the Seraphims unto me having a live coale in his hand which he had taken with the tongs froṁ off the altar 7. And he laid it upon my mouth and said Loe this hath touched thy lips and thine iniquity is taken away and thy sin purged IN the verses going before the Prophet Isaiah gives a description of that discovery that he had of the Lord and of the time when he had it the description of his dicovery is part of the first verse to the fifth the time when he had this discovery is set down in the first words of the first verse which was in the
