Pointing out thereby vnto vs the nature of Christ in whom there is no such sweetnesse as ingendreth bitternesse or hurt to any faithfull eater Of whom also we can neuer receiue too much to surfet and whose death and oblation smelleth most sweetly before God and to euery distressed conscience He. 7. 9. All meat-offrings behooued to haue Salt wherewith they were salted verse 13. Signifying thereby that as salt seasoneth and keepeth from corruption so Christ is he who like sauourie salt seasoneth vs and all our workes and makes them acceptable and that with the salt of sanctification in Christ wee should season all our worship of the Father keeping our selues from the corruption of hypocrisie and wickednesse Mar. 9. 49. 10.

Priests they signified that Holinesse which the ministerie ought to bee cloathed withall set downe by the Apostle 1. Tim. 3. The Disparitie Heb. 7. THe Iewish HighPriest was taken of the Tribe of Leui but our High Priest is sprung of the Tribe of Iudah not after the order of Aaron but after the order of Melchisedech Wherefore the Priesthood beeing thus changed of necessitie there behooued to be a change of the Couenant Againe the lewish High Priest was made without an â—…oath For as much then as Christ is nor made without an oath by so much is hee â—…ade surety of a better Couenant Theirs was â—…ade after the Law of the carnall commanâ—…ement but our High Priest is made after the power of endlesse life Theirs needed a successor therefore they were many because they were mortall but Ours because he endureth for euer hath a Priesthood which cannot passe from one to another Theirs behooued to offer vp sacrifice for his owne sinnes but our High Priest is holy harmelesse vndefiled and separate from sinners without spot Theirs did frequently offer vp sacrifice of beasts whose bloud could not purge but our High Priest hath once offered vp an all-sufficient sacrifice neuer to be reiterate euen himselfe to the Father whose bloud cleanseth vs from all our sinnes Theirs euery yeere entred into the Holiest by the bloud oâ—… Buls and Calues which could not take away sinnes but our High Priest by his own blouâ—… hath he once entred into the holy place anâ—… obtained eternall Redemption for vs by thâ—… vaile of his flesh pearcing the highest heauens to appeare now in the sight of God foâ—… his Church Heb. 9. 12. 17. The Cloudy Pillar Exod. 14. 1. THe Cloudie Pillar was Israels guide which they followed in their seuerall campings from Egypt to Canaan Num. 9. 15 16 17. c. So is Christ our true guide which wee must follow in our iourney to heauen both in the precepts of his Word and practice of his Life Math. 11. 29. 2. It was in the shape of a Pillar So is Christ like a Pillar firme stable and straight and with his strength supporting all those that relye vpon him Exod. 15. 2. 3. In going behind betweene the camps of Israel and the Egyptians it was a defence vnto them Exo. 14. 19. So is Christ not onely a Directer but a Protector to his Church from all their enemies Psal. 18. 1. 4. It was darknes to the Egyptians but gaue light vnto â—…hem of Israel ver 20. So is Christ saluation to the godly but a stumbling blocke and stone of offence vnto the wicked Math. 21. 44. 5. It was a Cloud by day and a Fire by night to Israel ibid. So is Christ a cooling refreshment to his owne in the scorching day of temptation or trouble and a comfortable Lamp of light to direct them in the time of this life Ioh. 1. 6. It was a Fire and a Cloud yet both but one Pillar So Christ is God and Man likewise yet in both but one person Esa. 9. 6. 7. It was a fiery Pillar So is Christ not onely strong as a Pillar for the defence and bearing vp of his owne and as a fire illuminating purging comforting and kindling zeale in his Chosen ones but also hee is 〈◊〉 fire fearefully to consume his enemies as stubble bâ—… fore the flame Psal. 2. 8. In the fire and in the Cloud God was seene by Israel in the Wildernesse but both ceased in Canaan So in the Word and iâ—… the Sacraments he is seeâ—… by his Church in the world but both shall cease iâ—… heauen The Disparitie THe Cloud vanished and was no more seene after they came to Canaan but our blessed Pillar Christ Iesus when wee enter and come to that celestiall Canaan shall then more cleerely and constantly be seene then before the foresaid dimme sight of him in Word and Sacraments ceasing 18. The Rocke Exod. 17. IT was a Rocke fixed and sure So is Christ that sure Rocke and foundation vpon whom the godly build aâ—…inst which the blind wicked ones dashing bruise themâ—…lues in pieces To which also his owne doe runne as to a â—…ong defence and against which the gates of hell it â—…fe shall in no wise preuaile Math. 16. 2. It had no outâ—…ard delightfull shew 〈◊〉 the Wildernes but 〈◊〉 a bare hard Rocke So neither had Christ any outward forme or beauty in the world that wee should desire him but as a roote out of a dry ground was a â—…nfull of sorrowes and it hard distresse and pouertie â—…ay 53 2 3. It seemed wonderfull and almost incredible euen vnto Moses that God would make the Rocke to giue water to such a murmuring people So likewise was it a wonderfull worke of loue that the Lord should make his owne Sonne to shead his heart-bloud for such a rebellious generation as mankind therefore Esa. 53. 1. cryes out Who will beleeue our report 4. It gaue vvater aboundantly vnto the people when they could get no other to quench their thirst so that in respect of the ruÌ„ning streames therof it is said to haue followed them 1. Cor. 10. and this water only sufficiently refreshed them all So Christ shead hiâ—… bloud aboundantly wheâ—… nothing else could redeemâ—… vs nor quench the tormenting thirst of an accâ—…sing or grieued conscience and this bloud only is sufficient to purge all our sinnâ—… perfectly Heb. 7. 5. It was first striken with Moses Rod before it yeelded forth the waters for the people Exo. 17. 6. So was Christ nailed 〈◊〉 the Crosse according 〈◊〉 that Cursed is euer one that hangeth on Tree our transgressions the Law beeing laid vpâ—… him before his precious bloud issued forth of his heart and wounds to consummate the Redemption of his Church Luke 23. 6. Moses at that time debarred himselfe from Canaan and led the people only vnto the borders thereof deliuering them to Iosua To shew that Christ hauing suffered by the Law there is no Iustification nor attaining vnto heauen but beeing imperfect and weake in it selfe is now but a pedagogy vnto Christ Iesus Rom. 3. 20. The Disparitie ALl Israel promiseuously did drinke of the Rock as well the murmurers as the godly and patient sort but so shall not all in the visible Church bee partakers of the bloud of Christ but they onely who truely repent and beleeue 19. Manna Exod. 16. Ioh. 6. THe Lord gaue the people Manna to satisfie their â—…unger to testifie his bounty power and prouidence to tempt or try them in the Wildernesse Exod. 16. 4. So the Lord sent Christ into the world to bee made meet foode for the hunger of our soules to shew vs likewise his vnmerited mercy and kindnesse and poore and lowly hee sent him to try who notwithstanding would beleeue in him Esay 53. 2. Manna was little in quantitie ver 14. So was Christ little and contemptible in the eyes of the world in reputation ib. 3. It was white of colour verse 31. So was Christ
holy and sanctified in nature Psal 40. 8. 4. It was round in shape To note the perfectnessâ—… and entirenesse of Christ in all heauenly graces He. 7. 5. It was sweet and tasted like fresh oyle or wafers baked with honey Numb 11. 7. So is Christ most sweâ—… and pleasant to all afflicteâ—… consciences by the receâ—… and cheering consolation 〈◊〉 his bloudshed and Spirit Ioh. 16. 7. 6. It came downe from heauen Ioh. 6. So did Christ Iesus Ioh. 6. 7. The name thereof was Man or Manbu which is a portion an admirable gift or meat prepared Exod. 16. 15. So is Christ the portioâ—… of his Chosen the admirâ—…ble great gift of the Father and prepared food for euer hungring soule Ioh. 6. 51 8. It came downe with the dew was gathered verse 14. So Christ comes to vs with the dew of grace and thereby is applyed 9. It fell round about the campe of Israel and was sufficient for all to gather thereof and fell in no other place verse 13. So Christ is conuersant within the limits of his Church and is the fulnesse of grace to all who are true partakers of him and no where else to bee found Reu. 1. 10. It was gathered by measure in the Wildernes and hee who gathered least had no lacke ver 18. So is Christs grace in this world giuen but by measure and hee who hath the weakest faith so it bee true shall attaine to the same saluation which he of a stronger doth 2. Pet. 3. Luke 17. 6. 11. When it came it made the people to admire for they wist not what it was verse 15. So when Christ came many did wonder yea He rode and all Ierusalem with him were troubled and sundry wist not what that mysterie of his Incarnation meant Math. 2. 12. It was as sufficient for all so common to all and that freely So is Christ a free imparter of saluation to rich and poore King and Begger without respect of persons Act. 10. 34. 13. It was ground and baked before it was meet food for the people verse 23. So Christ behooued first diuers wayes to suffer before hee could bee a meet Comforter and Sauiour to his Church Act. 17. 2. 14. It was gathered earely verse 21. So is Christ and his grace to be embraced speedily and timously Math. 25. 15. It was dayly gathered except on the Sabbath verse 23. So for a further degree of grace dayly wee must alway labour heere while that eternall Sabbath of rest come when grace shall be perfected in glory hereafter 2. Pet. 3. 18. 16. They went out of their Tents to gather it So must wee goe out of the old man and loue of the world to participate of Christ 2. Cor. 5. 17. To the breakers of Gods command in keeping the same ouernight it turned into putrifaction to them and stunke Numb 11. So to the hearers of Christs Word and contrary practisers vnto the same it becomes vnto them the sauour of death Iam. 1. 18. It ceased when they came to Canaan Iosh. 5. 12. So shall the Word and Sacraments when we come to the Kingdome of Heauen and see Christ face to face 1. Cor. 13. 19. Manna vvas kept and put in a golden pot before the Lord to remaine in the holiest for euer Exod. 16. 13. So Christ Iesus glorified in his Humanitie at the right hand of God in the heauens abides for euer vnto all ages of the faithfull Heb. 7. 20. Manna vvas loathed by the wicked marmurers on whom the Lords wrath fell Num. 11. 6. So is Christ Iesus in his Word and Sacraments by the carnall and vngodly whom GOD in his anger shall likewise destroy Iude 4. 21. Manna fed the naturall life So doth Christ Iesus the spirituall life The Disparitie MAnna did feede onely the naturall life but Christ Iesus is the food of the spirituall life Againe Manna did corrupt and putrifie but so cannot our spirituall Manna who abideth for euer solide and sweet comfort to euery distressed conscience They inioyed it onely in the Wildernesse but our chiefe and fullest inioying of our Manna shal be in the celestiall Canaan It was not to bee found but at a set time for it melted away when the Sun arose but our Manna Christ is euer at all times to be found both in prosperitie and affliction late and earely neuer disappointing those that truely seeke him Manna that was reserued in the Holiest was spoiled and did perish thereafter at the captiuitie but our heauenly Manna seated in highest glory can neuer perish nor suffer any violence 20. The Brazen Serpent Numb 21. 1. NEither Moses nor the Law could cure the people of the stinging of the fierie Serpents but onely the Brazen Serpent So neither the Law nor any creature could cure mankinde and redeeme them from the cruell power of Satan but onely Christ Iesus Rom. 3. 25. 2. After many had dyed for murmuring then the Brazen Serpent was set vp Num. 21. 6. So after that all mankinde through sinne was subdued to death and condemnation then Christ came for our recouerie to be crucified Esay 53. 3. A Serpent stung and a Serpent cured So man the first Adam lost mankinde and Man againe the second Adam redeemed mankinde Rom. 5. 14. 4. Albeit it was called a Serpent yet it was both without poison or sting So albeit Christ was thought a sinner as other men yet was hee both sinlesse spotlesse He. 7. 26. 5. It was made of brasse and not of gold verse 9. So was Christ sent not with outward glory or worldly pompous shâ—…w but base and humble in outward appearance Isaiah 53. 2. 6. It was not forged by mans hand or hammer but in a mould yet in the fire So Christ was not begottenly man but conceiued by the Holy Ghost to the likenesse of the Father Luke 2. 35. 7. It was not onely made but before it cured it was set vp on high So Christ behooued not onely to bee borne but also be crucified before our Redemption could be finished 8. They were onely cured who looked vpon the same So they onely are redeemed from death to eternall life who onely by faith eyes him Isai 46. 22. beleeuing in Christ that crucified 9. It was a wonderfull meanes of cure and vndeseruedly deuised of God of meere pitie yea against the merit of these murmurers So is the death of the onely Sonne of God for rebellious mankinde an admirable worke of vnmerited mercy likewise aboue our merit without our merit and against our merit Ephes. 1. 4. Yet albeit it was instituted by GOD and great miracles wrought at the presence thereof the Lords institution lasting and right vse being made thereof by the people in the Wildernesse yet at last it being Idolatrously abused was destroyed by that godly King Hezechiah and called Nehushtan or a masse of brasse 2. King 18. Shewing thereby how lawfull by the like example and much more likewise Images and other inuentions of men turning to
in his agony before hee was taken and stript to be crucified Luk. 22. 44. 34. The dayly Sacrifice Exod. 29. 38. to 45. 1. THe dayly sacrifice was a Lambe So our sacrifice not dayly but once for all offered vp vnto the Father is the Lambe Christ Iesus Heb. 7. 2. It was slaine in the morning and in the euening To shew not onely that morning and euening wee should exercise our selues in the worship of God but also that it was not in the latter dayes alone that Christ was slaine but was so in the Lords Decree liuely apprehension of Faith and vertue of his death to all true beleeuers from the beginning of the world Ioh. 1. 29. 3. It was to be offered vp with fine Flowre beaten Oyle and Wine To shew that Christ by his death and oblation becomes not onely vnto vs Redemption but spirituall foode gladnes and cheering comfort yea all in all vnto vs 1. Cor. 1. 30. 4. Where this sacrifice was offered there the Lord made appointment to speak vnto Israel and shew himselfe Exod. 29. 42. To signifie that in Christ and through his death and bloudshed the new appointment or Couenant of his will and manifestation of his grace and mercy is established to his Church Heb. 9. 35. The Sinne-offering 1. THe bloud of the sinne-offering Shewing how the bloud of Christ Iesus our true sinne-offering behooued t◅ what beast so euer it were was to be powred out be powred out and shed vpon the Crosse. For without bloudshedding there was no reconciliation Heb. 10. 2. The Priest shall dip his finger in the bloud of the Bullock that is a sinne-offering and sprinkle thereof seuen times before the Lord. Shaddowing the perfection of that expiation and satisfaction for sinne which Christ should make in the vertue quality and perpetuitie thereof the number of seuen being the number of perfection Heb. 9. 26. 3. The Priest shall bring in of the bloud of the Bullocke into the Tabernacle of the Congregation Shewing thereby how the merit of Christs bloud should enter into the Holiest heauens to appease wrath satisfie Iustice and conciliate fauour and bee a perfect purgation to his elect Church Heb. 9. 14. 4. Of the bloud the Priest shall put some also vpon the foure Hornes of the Altar Signifying thereby how the preaching of the Gospell concerning the bloud of Christ should bee published and proclaimed to the foure corners of the earth Math. 28. 5. And all the rest of the bloud shall be powred out at the foot of the Altar Figuring hereby the aboundant shedding of the bloud of Christ and super-aboundant merit thereof Act. 22. 16. As likewise that albeit it be so aboundant and sufficient for all yet it is not efficient to all but is improfitably powred out to many through their owne contempt and incredulous induration 6. All the fat vpon the inwards was to be burnt and offered to the Lord To shew that all the best we haue euen our inwards of soule heart and best affections we should offer vnto the Lord Psal. 16. 7. Rom. 12. 1. As also that not onely should the body of Christ suffer but his soule likewise like the fat in the inwards which is the best part as in his Agony and cry on the Crosse is euident cited before 7. The rest of the whole Bullocke typing so Christ in strength shall bee carried out of the Host and bee burnt vpon the wood in the fire where the ashes are cast out Signifying that euen so Christ Iesus should suffer without the gate in the place of dead mens skuls and not in the Citie Heb. 13. 11 12. and teaching vs thereby likewise to beare his reproch going in affection out of this earthly citie of the world and our body seeking a better Heb. 13. 13. 8. The Priest shall eate the sin-offering in the holy place whose bloud was not brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation Shewing that Christ Iesus in his Church is not onely reconciliation but also blessed foode for all those that are a holy and Royall Priesthood through him Ioh. 6. 9. If any of the bloud of the sinne-offering was dropped vpon a garment it might not be carried out so but washed in the Holy place Signifying thereby not only that holy things should not bee prophaned but that without the Church also there is no participation of the bloud of Christ and so no saluation Ge. 5. Mar. 16. 15. Math. 7. 6. 10. The earthen vessell wherein the sin-offering that was eaten was sodden it was broken but if it was a Brazen pot it was scowred and washed Expressing either the wonderfull pollution of sin that so hardly can bee done away or that those who haue receiued recōciliation through Christ ought not to giue themselues againe vnto the world but keepe themselues cleane and vndefiled of the wickednesse thereof 2. Cor. 5. 11. If a priuate person sinne and not the Priest the Congregation or a Ruler such a one shall offer a She-Goat or a Female Lambe for a sinne-offering Yeelding thereby a cōfor◅ to all women that for that Sexe Christ should dye as wel as for men and by faith through Christ that they should bee co-heires of his Kingdome Gal. 3. 28. 12. And if he were of the poorer sort he should offer of Turtles or Pigeons the signification whereof looke in the burnt-offering of Fowles or of fine Flowre without putting Oyle or Incense thereto for it is a sinne-offering Whereby was shaddowed with Christ Iesus our sinne-offering in the worke of satisfaction wee must ioyne nothing else bee it neuer so plausible in mans conce◅ 1. Cor. 3. 13. And the Priest shall make Atonement still this is repeated So euer signifying that not in◅hese sacrifices but in the Priesthood was the matter which typed Christ his office of reconciliation and intercession whereby onely wee are accepted Heb. 7. The Disparitie THese Sacrifices were of Beasts but our Sacrifice was of the Sonne of God himselfe These could neuer sanctifie the commers thereunto Heb. 10. 1. but in them was a yeerely remembrance of sinnes ver 3. but our Sacrifice Christ Iesus sanctifieth all those that by a true Faith draw neere vnto him purging the conscience from dead workes to serue the liuing Lord. For the bloud of those Sacrifices such as Buls and Goates could not take away sinnes but by the bloud of Christ we haue full remission of them These sacrifices were often offered in token of their imperfection and the similitudes of heauenly things were purified onely with their bloud but our Sacrifice was once onely offered in token of the perfection thereof and by the same as by a better sacrifice were the heauenly things themselues purified and consecrate Heb. 9. 23 25. 36. The meat-offering Leuit. 2. and 6. 14. to 20. 1. IT was called a meat-offering Because it was an acknowledgement that they did hold their meat or food of God and had receiued it of his blessing and because part thereof went
his flesh shaue off his hayre after he is discerned by the Priest to be cleane before that hee must enter into the Host and there after must remaine seuen dayes before hee enter into his Tent verse 8 9. Shewing that a rebellious or scandalous person by excommunication separate from the Church becomming penitent must not be againe rashly receiued without euident proofes of his repentance giuen both to Pastor and People 2. Thes. 3. 7. The putting of the bloud then of his trespasse-offring vpon the right eare thumb and toe of him that was Leper and of the oyle vpon all those places and his head after hee had washed himselfe Leu. 14. 17. Signified the perfect expiation of the sinnes of euery penitent in Christs bloud and consecration of them to Sanctification cleannesse of life thereafter Act. 8. 22. 2. Cor. 2. 6. 41. The sacrifice of the Red Cow and the sprinkling water Numb 19. 1. THe colour of this Kow was Red Numb 19. 2. Whereby was betokened the bloudinesse of our Sauiour in his Passion Mat. 27. 2. Shee behooued to bee without blemish vpon whom neuer yoke came ibid. Signifying thereby the perfect holinesse of Christ who neuer bore the yoke of sinfulnesse nor was subiect to the Precepts of man Isai. 53. 3. Shee was burned without the Host and her bloud seuen times sprinkled before the Tabernacle of the congregation ver 3. Shewing how Christ should suffer without the Citie and his bloud should be a perfect purging of his Church Heb. 13. 11. 4. She shall be all burned and Cedar wood a Skarlet Lace and Hysop shall bee cast into the fire with her ver 6. Shaddowing how that nothing in Christ is vnprofitable and that through the eternall Spirit by the sheading of his bloud hee should offer vp himselfe wholly without fault vnto God to purge our conscience from dead workes to serue the liuing Lord an vncorrupt life a feruent loue to mankinde and sauoury obedience in all things to his Father accompanying him in his sufferings Ephes. 4. 2. 5. The ashes of this sin-offering was laid vp in a cleane place to be made a Sprinkling Water for the Congregation ver 9. Figuring thereby how the merit of the bloudshed and death of Christ the true Sinne-offering in the Holiest heauens euer recent should be a perpetuall purging and sprinkling water vnto his Church Heb. 9. 13. 6. That person that is defiled by the dead and hath not the same sprinkled vpon him shall bee cut off from Israel verse 13. Whereby was signified that that person that is defiled with the corruption of sinne and hath not the bloud of Christ sprinkled vpon his soule shall likewise bee cut off from the number and inheritance of the Saints Mar. 16. 16. 7. The Priest onely shall sprinkle this water vpon the vncleane person and purge him So it is Christ Iesus onely who doth sprinkle his bloud vpon penitent soules who come vnto him and from him onely is to be expected true pardon of our sinnes Math. 9. 6. The signification of other things looke in the preceding sacrifices The Disparitie THis sprinkling water made of the Ashes of the Heifer sprinkling them that were vncleane sanctified onely as touching the purifying of the flesh but the bloud of Christ who through the eternall Spirit offered himselfe without fault to God purges the conscience from dead workes to serue the liuing God Heb. 9. 13 14. 42. IOSHV A. 1. IOSHVA a Sauiour So was Iesus both in name and in deed Mat. 1. 2. He was the sonne of Nun which is by interpretation Eternall and the seruant of Moses Exod. 24. So was Christ the Sonne of the truely eternall Father and may be said to be Moses seruant in a sort because hee followed after Moses in order and subiected himselfe vnto Moses Law in fulfilling what it commanded or typed Mat. 5. 17. 3. Hee ouercame the enemies of Israel and going before them brought them into the Land of Canaan allotting to each one their portion Iosh. 13. So hath Christ ouercome the enemies of his Church and hath ascended vp on high into the heauens before vs there to prepare a place for each one of vs and to bring vs thither Ioh. 14. 2. 4. Moses beeing dead hee was made the Captaine of Gods people hee leading them to the Land but Ioshua entering them in the Land Deut. 31. 7. So the Law ceasing and the ceremonies thereof he was appointed likewise the captaine of his Church the Law leading to Christ and heauen through him but Christ by his death and conquest giuing vs entry therein Heb. 9. 5. Hee saued Rachabs house that had the Red cord hung out at the window and who receiued his Spyes Iosh. 6. So doth Christ saue the soule of euery penitent sinner that hath true faith in his bloud and the expressiue grace thereof receiuing his Word in their hearts and the Ministers thereof for his cause Isai. 49. 6. 6. Vnder Moses leading the Cloud went before but vnder Ioshua's the same did vanish So in the time of the Law obseurâ—…e and darknesse was but through the light of the Gospell vnder Christ the same did depart Heb. 9. 13. 7. Ieshua was confirmed in his Calling by the diuiding of the waters in Iordan at the presence of the Arke standing therein Iosh. 3. So was Christ in the same Iordan by the diuiding of the heauens and presence of the holy Spirit descending and resting vpon him Math. 3. 8. Hee ledde Israel through those waters vnto Canaan So doth Christ his Chosen through many afflictions and death it selfe vnto heauen Psal. 23. 9. Moses circumcised not the people but Ioshua Iosh. 5. So the Law sanctifieth not but grace through Christ Rom. 8. 3. Heb. 7. 19. 10. Manna ceased vnder Ioshua in Canaan Iosh. 5. 13. So shall our knowledge of Christ by Word and Sacraments cease in that heauenly glory Reu. 21. 23. 11. With the sounding of Rams Hornes by the Leuites the Arke compassing Iericho the high walles thereof fell down and the inhabitants thereof were so ouercome by him Iosh. 6. So by the sound of the Word albeit contemptible in the mouthes of his Ministers Christ humbles the high machinations of mans heart and ouercomes his Aduersaries 1. Io. 2. 14. 12. The earth as the walles of Iericho prostrated it selfe before him the waters as these of Iordan yeelded vnto him and the heauens as the Sunne and Moone by their standing still obeyed him Iosh. 6. 3. 10. So heauen and earth and all things that are therein bow themselues in reuerent obedience vnto the Lord Iesus Phil. 2. 10. 13. Hee made his Captaines tread vpon the necks of the Canaanite Kings after the battell whom hee had ouercome and closed vp before Iosh. 10. So will Iesus doe to all his Chosen at their death but especially at that day of generall Iudgement shall hee make all their enemies Satan sinne and death with all other their foes to be their footstoole whose
hath Christ deliuered his Church which none else could doe from that fearful Giant Satan whom he hath ouercome albeit contemptible in the eyes of the world and with his own machinations hath trod downe his head Genes 3. 15. 9. The Lord honoured him with many and great victories 1. Sam. 18. 2. Sa. 21. So likewise did he Christ Iesus ouer that old Serpent and all our spirituall enemies 1. Cor. 15. 10. Hee brought back the Arke againe 2. Sam. 6. So hath Christ Iesus the trueth that lay obscured by the false interpretation of the Scribes and Pharises Math. 5. 6. c. and hath reduced the Church from the spirituall captiuitie thereof fully and from the obscurenesse of types to the cleere beholding of the bright substance establishing it in that estate for euer Heb. 9. 11. Euen those that sate at his Table rose vp against him Psal. 41. 9. So one of Christs Disciples Iudas who did dip in the platter with him betrayed him Math. 26. 12. Last in many Prophetical speeches hee typed Christ Iesus as Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption and They parted my garments amongst them on my vesture did cast Lots My God my God why hast thou forsaken me and such like many as are quoted and set downe orderly in the Treatise following All which in competencie of substantiall trueth agreed properly to Christ Iesus alone The Disparitie DAuid was a man of bloud but Christ Iesus was meeke and peaceable Dauid for that cause was not suffered to build the Temple but Christ Iesus is the sole and onely builder of his holy Church His life was tainted with sundry blots but the life of Christ was altogether spotlesse 48. SALOMON 1. SAlomon or Shelomoh peaceable the sonne of Dauid greatly beloued of God 2. Sa. 12. 24. So was Christ peaceable yea the Prince of Peace it selfe called also the sonne of Dauid because hee came of him according to the flesh and who receiued that Testimony from Heauen that he was the Lords Well-beloued in whom hee is well pleased Math. 3. 17. 2. Hee was very wise and rich yea a-aboue all others therin 1. Kin. 3. 4. So is Christ the very wisedome and full treasure of the riches of the Father and matchlesse in both Col. 2. 3. 3. The Queene of Sheba came to see Salomon from afarre and brought gifts vnto him 1. King 10. So came the Wise men from the East to see Iesus and offered Gold Myrrh and Incense to him Mat. 2. 4. The fame of Salomons speeches and doings spred afarre off So did the fame of Christ Iesus his doctrine and miracles Mat. 5. 31. 5. Hee built the Temple and dedicate it to the Father 1. King 6. So hath Christ built the Church and consecrate it vnto his Father Gal. 3. 7 8. He desired that all that should pray within the Temple might be heard 1. King 8. So Christ intercedeth that all that pray in his holy Church as true members thereof may bee likewise heard Ioh. 17. 7. Hee appointed the seuerall Ministers and Office-bearers in the Temple So hath Christ established the seuerall ministeriall functions and offices that should bee in his Church 1. Cor. 12. The Disparitie SAlomon did fall away in the end of his life from that sinceritie especially in Gods worship which hee had in the beginning therefore procured a heauy punishment on his house after him but Christ Iesus constantly perseuered vnto death in that perfect obedience that hee yeelded alway to the Father and therefore procured great blessings on his Church thereby for euer 49. Salomons Temple 1. King 6. as it was a type of Christs personall body Ioh. 2. 19. 1. IT was a most glorious edifice 1. King 5. 6 7. Chapters So was the excellent Fabricke of the Immaculate body of Christ. 2. It was stone without and gold within To shew the resplendent glory of diuine Maiestie lurking within a humane and humbled body Esa. 9. 3. It was full of light through the many windowes therein So our Sauiour was full of heauenly knowledge in the will of God which hee reuealed to mankinde Ioh. 1. 4. It was carued round about with Cherubims Palmes and Flowers To note the seruiceable ready attendance of the holy Angels vpō the person of Christ the Palme-trees signifying his triumphant victory ouer his and our enemies and the Flowres his heauenly diuers and flourishing graces Math. 4. 5. In the seuenth yeere and Haruest moneth it was accomplished To shew not onely the perfection of his person signified by that perfect number of seuen and ripenesse of such a season as Harnest but also that in the fulnesse of time to accomplish Gods Decree hee should come and bee incarnate Psal. 40. 7. 6. The Temple was solemnely consecrate vnto the Lord. So was the person of Christ by perfect obedience in life and death vnto his Father ibid. 7. There was pleasant Musicke vsed in the one Which signified the heauenly harmony of diuine graces to the comfort of his Chosen which should bee in this other Col. 2. 3. 8. In it was the Arke where the glory of GOD did appeare which glory did fill also the Temple So in Christ is the full treasure of all true wisedome knowledge grace and in whom the Godhead personally inhabited and did replenish likewise this other Col. 1. 19. 9. It was seated on Mount Moriah and in the midst of Ierusalem it did stand So Christ is on high placed and in the midst of his Church is to bee found Psal. 110. 10. It was not lawfull but in the Temple to offer sacrifice So is not any spirituall sacrifice of ours but in Christ and through him acceptable Heb. 7. 11. Many presumed in the one saying The Temple of the Lord The Temple of the Lord yet were destroyed So many presume in the verbal profession of Christ that they beleeue in him and are baptized in his Name yet shall bee damned Math. 7. 22. The Disparitie FOrty and sixe yeeres the Temple was in building after that the same had beene destroyed and cast downe by the Babylonians but within three dayes the Temple of the body of Christ Iesus did arise after that the same had beene in a manner destroyed and crucified by the Iewes and Romanes Ioh. 2. 19 20 21. 50. The Temple as it was a type of Christs mysticall body the Church 1. King 6. 1. IT was of hewne polished stones and costly So is the mysticall body of Christ of liuely polished stones euen purged and reformed soules costly precious in the Lords sight Col. 1. 18. Psal. 45. 10. 2. In the building of it there was no noise heard So in the building of the Church the vnity of truth and of the Spirit of loue is hereby recommended without iarring either in opinion or affection As also in that the stones were fitted for the worke before they were brought to be built therein it shewes that before we can thinke that we are to be
coasts of Moab and destroy the sonnes of Sheth O Zion that bringest good tidings get thee vp into the high Mountaines O Ierusalem that bringest good tidings lift vp thy voice with strength lift it vp be not afraid Say to the Cities of Iudah Behold your GOD. Behold the Lord God will come with power and his arme shall rule for him Behold his reward is with him and his worke is before him Therefore thus saith the Lord God Behold I will lay in Sion a Stone a tryed Stone a precious Corner Stone a sure foundation he that beleeueth shall not make haste For vnto Vs a Child is Borne and vnto Vs a Sonne is Giuen and the gouernment is vpon his shoulder and hee shall call his Name Wonderfull Counsellor the Mighty God the Euerlasting Father the Prince of Peace the increase of his gouernment and peace shall haue no end I will giue vnto Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings vnto it And their noble Ruler shall be of themselues and their Gouernour shal proceed from the midst of them and I will cause him to draw neere approch vnto mee For who is this that directeth his heart to come vnto me saith the Lord In those dayes and at that time will I cause the Branch of Righteousnes to grow vp vnto Dauid and he shall execute Iudgement and Righteousnes in the Land Behold I will bring forth the Branch my Seruant For loe the Stone that I haue laid before Iehoshua vpon that one Stone there shall bee seuen eyes Behold I will cut out the grauing thereof saith the Lord of Hosts and I will take away the iniquitie of the Land in one day In that day there shall bee a fountaine opened to the House of Dauid and to the Inhabitants of Ierusalem for sinne and for vncleannesse And the Lord whom ye seeke shall speedily come to his Temple euen the Messenger of the Couenant whom ye desire Behold he shall come saith the Lord of Hosts But who may abide the day of his comming and who shall endure when he appeareth For he is like a purging fire and like Fullers Sope. And hee shall sit downe to try and fine the siluer hee shall euen fine the sonnes of Leui and purifie them as gold and siluer that they may bring offrings vnto the Lord in righteousnesse And the Redeemer shall come vnto Zion and vnto them that turne from Iniquitie in Iacob saith the Lord. 3. The time of his comming or Birth THe Scepter shall not depart from Iudah nor a Law-giuer from betweene his feete vntill Shiloh come and the people shall be gathered vnto him Now assemble thy Garrisons O Daughter of Garrisons Ierusalem he hath laid siege against vs they shall smite the Iudge of Israel with a Rod vpon the cheeke And thou Bethleem Ephrathah c. out of thee shall hee then come forth vnto me that shall be the Ruler in Israel And there shall bee a day it is knowne to the Lord neither day nor night but about the euening time it shall be light that is there shal be a gloomy time of trouble and subiection in the end whereof God shall send spirituall comfort to the Iewes And in that day shall there waters of Life goe out from Ierusalem halfe of them toward the East Sea and halfe of them toward the vttermost Sea and shall bee both in Summer and Winter Seuenty Weeks which was 490. yeeres till Christs comming are determined vpon thy People and vpon the holy Citie to finish the wickednesse and to seale vp the sinnes and to reueile the iniquitie and to bring in euerlasting righteousnesse and to seale vp the Vision and Prophesie and to anoint the most Holy Know therefore and vnderstand that from the going forth of the commandement to bring againe the people and to build Ierusalem vnto Messiah the Prince shall be seuen weekes and threescore and two weekes and the street shal be built againe and the wall in a troublesome time See the Marginall note of the Bible which explaines this count 4. The place of his Birth and of what Tribe he should be of AND thou Bethleem-Ephrathah art little to bee amongst the thousands of Iudah yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto mee that shall bee the Ruler in Israel whose goings foorth haue beene from the beginning and from euerlasting And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord and in the Maiesty of the Name of the Lord his God they shall dwell still for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world And he shall be our peace 8. Hee is carried to Egypt after his Birth that it might bee fulfilled OVt of Egypt haue I called my Sonne 9. A great slaughter of the Bethleemite children ensueth thereafter whereby this Prophesie was fulfilled IN Rhama was a voice heard mourning and weeping and great howling Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they were not 10. After his returne he is brought and abides in Nazareth that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets THat hee should bee called a Nazarite 11. He should be God OZion that bringest good tidings c. say to the Cities of Iudah Behold your God For vnto vs a Child is borne and vnto vs a Sonne is giuen and his Gouernment is vpon his shoulder and hee shall call his Name Wonderfull Counsellor The mighty God c. Say to them that are fearefull Be strong feare not behold your God commeth with vengeance euen God with a recompence he will come and saue you Then shall the eyes of the blind be lightened and the eares of the deafe be opened And in that day shall men say Loe this is our God wee haue waited for him and hee will saue vs. 12. He should be Man THe Seed of the Woman shall bruise downe the head of the Serpent In thee and in thy Seed shall all the Families of the earth bee blessed I will raise them vp a Prophet from amongst their Brethren like vnto thee and will put my words in his mouth and hee shall speake vnto them all that I command him and whosoeuer will not hearken to my words which he shall speake in my name I will require it of him And their noble Ruler shall bee of themselues and their Gouernour shall proceed from the midst of them He is a Man full of sorrowes hath experience of infirmities 13. Hee should be both vnited in one Person ANd they shall call his name Immanuel which is by Interpretation God with vs. 14. The Spirit of God should rest vpon him as was visibly seene in his Baptisme BEhold my Seruant I will stay vpon him mine Elect in whom my soule delighteth I haue put my Spirit vpon him he shall bring forth Iudgement to the
Gentiles And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest vpon him the Spirit of wisedome and vnderstanding the Spirit of counsell strength the Spirit of knowledge and of the feare of the Lord And shall make him prudent in the feare of the Lord for hee shall not iudge after the sight of his eyes neither reproue by the hearing of his eares But with righteousnesse shall he iudge the poore and with equity shall he reproue for the meeke of the earth and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked And iustice shall be the girdle of his loynes and faithfulnesse the girdle of his reynes 15. His name should bee IESVS CHRIST or a Sauior anointed by God and to what end his comming and anointing should be ANd thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Sauiour and they Redeemer the mighty one of Iacob I euen I am the Lord and besides me there is no other Sauiour The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee therefore hath the Lord anointed me hee hath sent mee to preach good tidings to the poore to binde vp the broken-hearted to preach libertie to the captiues and to them that are bound the opening of the prison To preach the acceptable yeere of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourne To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion and to giue vnto them beauty for ashes the oyle of ioy for mourning the garment of gladnes for the spirit of heauinesse that they might be called The trees of righteousnes The planting of the Lord that hee might be glorified I the Lord haue called thee in righteousnesse and will hold thy hand and I will keepe thee and giue thee for a Couenant of the people and for a light of the Gentiles That thou maist open the eyes of the blinde and bring out the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darknes out of the prison house The Kings of the earth band themselues and the Princes are assembled together against the Lord and against his Christ. Thou louest righteousnesse and hatest wickednesse because God euen thy God hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes Then the Angell said vnto her Feare not Mary for thou hast found fauour with God For loe thou shalt conceiue in thy womb and beare a Son and shalt call his name Iesus 16. His Kingly Office and administration thereof HE shall sit vpon the Throne of Dauid and vpon his Kingdome to order it and to stablish it with iudgment with iustice from henceforth euen for euer The zeale of the Lord of Hosts will performe this With righteousnes shall hee iudge the poore and with equity shall he reproue for the meeke of the earth and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked And Iustice shall be the girdle of his loynes and faithfulnesse the girdle of his reines The Wolfe also shall dwell with the Lambe and the Leopard shall lye with the Kid and the Calfe and the Lyon and the fat Beast together and a little child shall leade them c. Then shall none hurt nor destroy in all the Mountaine of my Holinesse For the earth shall bee full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters that couer the Sea Behold the dayes come saith the Lord that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous Branch and a King shall reigne and prosper and shall execute Iudgement and iustice in the earth In his dayes Iudah shall be saued and Israel shall dwell safely and this is the name whereby they shall call him The Lord our Righteousnes He shall be great and he shal be called The Sonne of the most High and the Lord shall giue vnto him the Throne of his father Dauid And he shall reigne ouer the House of Iacob for euer and of his Kingdome shall be none end For behold I gaue him for a witnesse saith the Lord to the people for a Prince and a Master vnto the people 17. His Priestly Office What sacrifice hee should offer and for whom he should pray YEt the Lord would breake him and make him subiect to infirmities When hee shall make his Soule an offering for sinne hee shall see his seed and prolong his dayes and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand Therefore will I giue him a portion with the great and hee shall diuide the spoile with the strong because hee hath powred out his soule vnto death and hee was counted with the Transgressors and bare the sinnes of many and prayed for the trespassers 18. His Propheticall Office and Pastor all function abrogating ignorance restoring light c. HEe hath sent mee to preach good tidings vnto the poore to binde vp the broken-hearted to preach libertie to the captiues and to them that are bound the opening of the prison To preach the acceptable yeere of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourne Then shall the eyes of the blind be lightened and the eares of the deafe be opened And hee will destroy in his Mountaine the couering that couereth all people and the vaile that is spred vpon all Nations Moreouer the light of the Moone shall bee as the light of the Sunne and the light of the Sunne shal be seuen-fold and like the light of seuen dayes in the day that the Lord shall binde vp the breach of his people and heale the stroke of their wound The Lord thy God saith Moses to Israel will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto mee from among yee euen of thy Brethren vnto him ye shall hearken He shall seed his Flocke like a Shepheard hee shall gather the Lambs with his arme and carry them in his bosome and shall guide them with yong And I will set vp a Shepheard ouer them and he shal feed them euen my Seruant Dauid meaning Christ of whom Dauid was a Figure he shall feed them and he shall be their Shepheard Thus saith the Lord In an acceptable time haue I heard thee and in a day of Saluation haue I helped thee and I will preserue thee and giue thee for a Couenant of the people that thou maist raise vp the earth and obtaine the inheritance of the desolate heritages That thou mayst say to the prisoners Goe forth and to them that are in darknesse Shew your selues they shall feede in the wayes and their pastures shall be in all the tops of the Hils They shall not be hungry neither shall they be thirstie neither shall the heat smite them nor the Sun for he that hath compassion on them
shall be no more there a child of yeeres nor an old man that hath not filled his dayes for he that shal be an hundreth yeeres old shallâ—…dye as a yong man but the sinner beeing an hundreth yeeres old shall be accursed And they shall build houses and inhabite them and plant Vineyards and eate the fruit of them They shall not labour in vaine nor bring forth in feare for they are the Seed of the blessed of the Lord and their buds with them Yea before they call I will answere and whiles they speake I will heare The Wolfe and the Lamb shall feed together and the Lyon shall eate straw like the Bullock and to the Serpent dust shall be his meat They shall no more hurt nor destroy in all my holy Mountaine Looke vpon Zion the Citie of our solemne Feasts thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation a Tabernacle that cannot be remooued and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away neither shall any of the cords thereof bee broken For there the mighty Lord will bee vnto vs as a place of Flouds and broad Riuers whereby shall passe no Ship with Oares neither shall a great Ship passe thereby For the Lord is our iudge the Lord is our Lawgiuer the Lord is our King he will saue vs. Behold a King shall reigne in Iustice and the Princes shall rule in Iudgement And that man shall bee as a hiding place from the winde and as a refuge for the tempest as Riuers of water in a dry place and as the shaddow of a great Rocke in a weary Land The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut and the eares of them that heare shall hearken And the heart of the foolish shal vnderstand knowledge and the tongue of the stutters shall be readie to speake distinctly A niggard shall bee no more called liberall nor the churle rich And iudgement shall dwell in the Desart iustice shal remaine in the fruitfull field And the worke of iustice shall be peace euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse and assurance for euer And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace in sure dwellings and in safe resting places c. Hee shall come downe like the raine vpon the mowne grasse and as the showres that water the earth In his dayes shall the righteous flourish and aboundance of peace shall be so long as the Moone endureth His dominion also shal be from Sea to Sea and from the Riuer to the ends of the Land Yea all Kings shal worship him and all Nations shall serue him Hee shall bee mercifull to the poore and needy and shall preserue the soules of the poore Hee shall redeeme their soules from deceit and violence and deare shall their bloud be in his sight His name shall bee for euer his name shall endure as long as the Sunne all Nations shall blesse him and be blessed in him 53. His second comming to Iudgement and the Resurrection of all flesh to appeare before him FOr I am sure that my Redeemer liueth and hee shall stand the last on the earth And though after my skinne wormes destroy this body yet shal I see God in my flesh Whom I my selfe shall see and mine eyes shall behold and none other for mee though my reynes be consumed within me Our God shall come and not keepe silence a fire shall deuoure before him and a mighty tempest shall be moued round about him Hee shall call the heauen aboue and the earth to iudge his people Gather my Saints together vnto me those that make a Couenant with me with sacrifice And the heauens shall declare his righteousnesse for God is Iudge himselfe Selah And at that time shall Michael stand vp the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall bee a time of trouble such as neuer was since there beganne to be a Nation vnto that same time and at that time thy people shall be deliuered euery one that shall be found written in the Booke And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth shall awake some to euerlasting life and some to shame and perpetual contempt And they that bee wise shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament and they that turne many to righteousnes shall shine as the Starres for euer and euer Amen The Thanksgiuing of a Christian Soule for the performance of all these mercifull predictions and the full accomplishing of that great and glorious worke of our Redemption ISAI 61. 10. 63. 9. I Will greatly reioyce in the Lord and my soule shall bee ioyfull in my God For hee hath cloathed me with the garments of Saluation and couered me with the Robe of Righteousnesse hee hath decked mee like a Bridegroome and as a Bride tireth her selfe with her Iewels In all our troubles he was troubled and the Angell of his presence hath saued vs in his loue and in his mercy hee hath redeemed vs and he beares and carries vs alwayes continually PSAL. 72. 19.
