was saved and delivered from the Amalakites And after Moses death he was the chiefe Governour and Generall that saued Israel from the Canaanites and other nations that were rooted out by him Wherein he was a type of Iesus whose name if it were written in Hebrew would be the very same namely Iehoshua The Greeks therefore for Ioshua or Iehoshua write Iesus Acts 7. 45. Hebr. 4. 8. At this time when Moses gave this charge Ioshua was none of the chiefe Princes of the Tribes For the chiefe Prince of Ephraim of which Tribe Ioshua was was e e e Num 1. 10. Elishama Indeed f f f 13 2 3 8. Ioshua is reckoned among those that were sent to search the land of Canaan who are called Rulers and Heads but they were not the chiefe Rulers and Heads but g g g Exo. 18. 21 25 such as are mentioned to be made by Iethroes advice Heads over the people Rulers of thousands Rulers of Hundreds c. As for Ioshua he was after this Moses his Minister Exo. 24. 13. Numb 11. 28. Yet at this time was he appointed the Generall of the Lords army partly because of his valour and partly because of that high calling whereunto he was to be deputed to conquer the Canaanites Ob. After this Ioshua is stiled a young man Exod. 33. 11. Numb 11. 28. Answ 1. The latter place may word for word be thus translated Ioshua the sonne of Nun the servant of Moses from his youth that is who had served Moses from his youth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 à juvenlute suâ Trem Iun.

Servants of elder age are called lads or youths or young men as some of the Lord Majors servants are called So as this title doth oft signifie rather the condition of men then their age The Matter of the charge containeth in it words of preparation Choose us out men and execution Go out fight with Amalek The first word of the preparation * * * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 choose implieth a carefull and diligent choice upon good triall and proofe i i i Isa 48. 10. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Where God saith * * * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I have chosen or proved thee in the fornace of affliction this word is used as also k k k 2 Sam. 6. 1. where it is said that David gathered together all the * * * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 chosen or choice or chiefe men of Israel This particle l l l 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 us is an usuall redundancy in the Hebrew tongue Yet is it not without an Emphasis implying thus much choose for us for our use for our good for the better successe to us The last word of the preparation * * * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 plurali numero ponitur pro 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 See the Dignity of Chivalry §. 3. men importeth the kind of men that were to be chosen namely such as might truly be called MEN Valiant and valorous men The Charge for execution consisteth of two clauses The first go out He meaneth out from the congregation of the Israelites or from the camp where they were into the open field where the enemies were Two weighty reasons may be given hereof 1. To prevent the enemy and to keepe him from entring in among all the people 2. To pitch where Moses that intended to pray for them might the better see them that so by sight of them his spirit might be the more quickned and his prayer the more sharpned The last clause of the execution fight with Amalek sheweth the maine action to be done fight and the object or person with whom with Amalek The action is expressed in the very same word that was * * * § 4. before applied to the enemy but the circumstances give evidence that there it is used in one respect here in another 1. There for assault here for defence 2. There for offering wrong here for maintaining right 3. There for an effect of malice here of justice 4. There for an action without good warrant here with the best warrant that can be Divine precept Thus the same thing for substance may be done lawfully or unlawfully Warre may lawfully be waged and warre may unlawfully be waged Circumstances make much to the goodnesse or badnesse of an action Who are comprised under this last word Amalek hath beene shewed * * * §. 2. before The maine scope and drift of this charge is to use fit means for preventing that mischiefe which Amalek yet further intended against them The means was to send out a well furnished army against him This Charge then commendeth to us seven observations I. Princes must provide for their peoples protection Moses said So did Moses whom God made a Ruler over Israel he provided temporall and spirituall meanes He sent forth an army and he himselfe lift up his hands for Israels protection to Ioshua II. Men deputed to weighty works ought to be prepared thereto before hand Ioshua was to be the man that should conquer the Canaanites He therefore is here made Generall forty yeares before Choose us out men III. Military men must be choice men The charge here given for choosing men importeth as much And go out IIII. Enemies must as much as may be be kept out The charge here given is to go out namely to meet the enemy before he enter Fight V. Warre is warrantable It is here commanded by him that ordered his commands by speciall warrant from God with Amalek VI. Violence with violence may be resisted Amalek with open hostility fought against Israel Israel therefore is commanded with open hostility to fight against Amalek VII Approved means are to be used for attaining our desired ends This is a generall doctrine arising from the principall intent of this charge whereunto all the fore-named particulars do tend Moses here desiring to have the Israelites freed from these mischievous Amalakites giveth order for using the best ordinary meanes which was by force of armes to vanquish them §. 10. Of Princes protecting their people Sicut obedientes oportet esse qui reguntur sic etiam Rectores Principes vigilantes esse decet Chrys Hom. 34. in Heb. 13. I. PRinces must provide for their peoples protection As they who are under government must be subject so it becommeth Governours and Princes to be watchfull for the good of those that are under their charge So was Moses here and so all good Kings Princes Iudges and other supreme Rulers and Governours have beene from time to time Many have put their owne safety in hazzard to save their people Instance those who in their owne persons have gone to warre and beene Generals

appointed But when the wrath of the Lord was pacified the plague was stayed c Exo 8. 12 13. 30 31. 9. 33. 10. 18 19. Did he not remove the plagues from Egypt so soone as Moses prayed unto him This power of the Lord over plagues and diseases was visibly manifested in the Sonne of God while he lived on earth For he spake the word and they went away which the Centurion well observing said to Christ d Mat. 8. 8 Speake the word onely and my servant shal be healed The Lord as he is the Creatour so the Governour of all things nothing can be without him nothing can abide longer then he will He calls he sends he bids come he bids go away answerably they come they go e Psal 105. 28. They rebell not against his word As ye desire to have this plague that burneth so fiercely among us and destroyeth so many to be stayed use the only remedy that is of power to that purpose Call upon God to stay it The plague it selfe is like a fierce mad mastivedog that will not cease to bite if he be loose The Lord of plagues must chaine him up Yea it is like ravenous lions that are ready to teare in peeces and devoure all they can catch The Lord onely can stop the mouth of this lion as f Dan. 6. 22. he stopped the mouthes of the lions among whom Daniel was cast All antidotes all preservatives all manner of outward meanes are nothing without the Lord. He can preserve whom he will while the plague rageth most He can stay it as speedily as suddenly as thorowly as he please Call therefore upon him turne unto him trust on him and doubt not but that our God that hath such power over plagues will in his good time when his worke is accomplished upon this Citie and upon this Land stay this plague This is a point of much comfort to such as have assurance of Gods fatherly love to them that their Father hath an absolute power over plagues §. 69. Of the meaning of the 49 Verse NVMB. 16. 49. Now they that died in the plague were foureteene thousand and seven hundred beside them that died about the matter of Korah THe severity of Gods stroake by the fore-mentioned plague is here set downe and that by the expresse number of them that were destroyed by that pestilence The particle translated IN * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the plague among other significations oft setteth out the instrumentall cause whereby a thing is effected as where the Lord saith to the Iewes that were in Egypt I will punish them a Ier. 44. 13. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 BY the sword BY the famine and BY the pestilence Others therefore thus translate this text Of the plague that is by it The plague was the instrumentall cause of their death Circumstances shew that this plague from the first beginning to the end of it continued not a whole day For so soone as the people gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron the Lord threatned to consume them Then instantly Moses and Aaron fell on their faces and Moses then discerned that the plague was begun which so soone as hee espied he bad Aaron quickely offer up incense Aaron accordingly ranne for incense brought it offered it up and the plague was stayed These circumstances duely weighed who can imagine that there was more then a day from the beginning to the end of this plague so as in the space of a few houres foureteene thousand and seven hundred died together of a plague O terrible stroake To aggravate the terrour hereof mention is made of another fearefull judgement which fell upon that people not long before thus inferred Beside them that died about the matter of Korah What this matter was the former part of this chapter expresly recordeth It was a conspiracy of Korah here mentioned with Dathan and Abiram against Moses the chiefe Prince and Aaron the chiefe Priest appointed by God over the children of Israel b Exo. 6. 18. This Korah was cosen german to Aaron for they were brothers children He therefore being of an ambitious spirit scorned that his kinseman should bee so farre preferred before him as to bee High-Priest Thereupon hee gathers many of the Princes together to take part with him supposing by strong hand to wrest from Aaron the dignity of Priest-hood which the Lord had conferred upon them Dathan and Abiram were of another Tribe the tribe of Reuben These as is probable had another aime and that at the chiefe civill government wherein God had set Moses Reuben being the eldest sonne of Israel these two brothers were d Pronepotes Numb 26. 5. under nephewes to Reuben three generations from him and imagined that they comming from the eldest sonne should be the chiefe overall Thus having no regard to the choice which God had made of Moses and Aaron they would thrust themselves into places of eminency The Lord was so highly displeased hereat as he destroyed them and such as tooke part with them with two fearefull judgements The earth suddenly opened and swallowed up some of them alive and fire suddenly flamed out upon others and destroyed them e Numb 16. 35. Two hundred and fifty are expresly noted to be consumed by the fire How many were swallowed up by the earth is not expressed but it may be conjectured that they were a great multitude This was the matter of Korah here mentioned Korah was the Ring-leader of all For f Numb 16. 1. he is the first mentioned in the conspiracy g 5. He impudently gathered an head against Moses and Aaron while h 12. Dathan and Abiram abode in their tents i Numb 26. 9. It is said of Dathan and Abiram that they strove against Moses and Aaron in the conspiracy of Korah So as the conspiracy was Korahs especially He was the chiefe conspirator The matter therefore here intended compriseth under it both the earths swallowing up of some and the fires consuming of others The people that by the earths opening and fires breaking out perished are said to die in the matter of Korah because his ambition being the first motive of that rebellion he was a cause of their sinne and so of their judgement Thus their death is imputed to him They died in his businesse about his matter The Summe of this verse is A declaration of the severity of Gods indignation which is 1. Propounded in the number of those that died of this plague 14700. 2. Aggravated by other fearefull judgements executed the day before Besides those that died about the matter of Korah Here have we 1. A generall intimation of the judgements Besides those that died 2. A manifestation of the originall cause of all The matter of Korah The first point sheweth that I. A plague can quickly destroy a multitude The aggravation pointeth at other judgements that were the day before inflicted on the people and giveth
