every man his brother and every man his companion and every man his neighbour that had committed idolatry by worshipping God in the golden Calfe Fourthly civill society with men of a false religion or wicked life to whom we are necessarily bound by the Law of God or man must be holden and cannot bee broken without sinne as that of the subiect and the Prince Rom. 13. the husband and the wife 1. Cor. 7. 10. servant master 1. Pet. 2. 18. yea Iew Samaritane Luk. 10. 37. Fiftly civill society such as is unnecessary with men of a false religion or wicked life albeit sometimes it be turned to good yet it is hazardous to the professours of the truth as 2. Chron. 18. 31. and Chap. 19. 2. where Iehosaphat hardly escaping with his life is thus reprooved Shouldest thou helpe the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord And Gen. 19. 15. Lot is sent out of Sodome in haste with this terrour Lest thou be consumed in the 〈◊〉 of the city And Peter while he would associate himselfe with the servants of the high Priest needlesly fell into the snare of the Devill and denied his master Matth. 26. 58. 70. And 1. Cor. 10. 27. If any of them that beleeve not b●… you to a feast and ye will goe c. Hee doth not absolutely forbid it but implies the danger in going to the feasts of Idolaters And 2. Cor. 6. 14. expresly forbids entermarrying with such Bee not unequally 〈◊〉 with unbele●…vers c. But let us examine his proofes In the law of Nature the ruine of all mankinde in Noah his flood came of this That the children of God kept not themselves apart from the society of the wicked Gen. cap. 6. vers 2. THis is very true but nothing to our present purpose for neither doth it appeare by the text that these wicked people were of a contrary religion and the children of God entermarried with them which was to hold unnecessary fellowship with them whereby they were drawn away to their corruptions vers 11 12. The professours of true religion did so farre avoid the followers of errours that they would not after their death bee buried in the same Church-yard therefore Abraham bought a speciall place for the buriall of Sara and himselfe Gen. 23. 20. THe professours of true religion never esteemed much where their bodies were buried after death as being assured whatsoever became of them they should have a glorious resurrection Neither were there in Abrahams time Churches or Church-yards to be buried in nor was it the use to be buried all in one place every man was buried in his owne possession So that the burying of Sara in a field purchased by Abraham is very fondly attributed to a desire of separation from the Canaanites Abraham had not till then a foot of land in the countrey And whereas Iacob and Ioseph gave charge of their buriall in the land of Canaan it was to confirme their posterity in the faith of Gods promise that he would give it them for an inheritance Gen. 50. 25. Conformably to this the Israelites imployed the money of Iudas to buy a field for buriall of strangers Matth. 27. 7. Thus Gods people both alive and dead refused in religious actions the society of those who were of contrary religion The true Israelites would in no wise communicate with the schismaticke Samaritanes Ioh. 4. 9. 3 Reg. 12. and this because they put away the true Priests and set up a new service to withdraw men from the right service which was ordained in Ierusalem THe strangers for whose buriall a field was bought with the money which Iudas received for betraying our Lord for any thing in the text might be Prosely●… and not of a contrary religion Howsoever the wicked murtherers of Christ if there had been any religion to bee put in the not burying the strangers with Gods people would not of likelyhood have been the ●…st nor are the most commendable Authors of this practise Let them glory in this president that dig up the bodies of the dead and cast them out into the fields or bury them in dunghills or burne them to ashes How much more likely is it that the holy Ghost would typically set forth by this story that the price of our Lords blood should procure to the Gentiles who were strangers from the Common-wealth of Israel a place of sleep and rest though the Priests purchase was to them and Iudas a field of blood As touching the Samaritans and the Israelites separation from them first the originall of the Samaritanes is not rightly referred to the time of Ieroboam 3. Reg. 12. Samaria it selfe was not then built nor the ten Tribes carried away captive in whose place the 〈◊〉 came above two hundred yeares after Ieroboams reigne These Samaritanes were not onely Schismatickes but Idolaters also 2. King 17. 4. The cause of the Iewes separation from them even after they had a Priest of Aarons line and a Temple and service like to that of Ierusalem erected by Sanballat for Manasses his sonne in law upon mount 〈◊〉 was the expresse commandement of God appointing Ierusalem the place of worship besides many other respects religious and civill But our Lord Iesus Christ even in the place here alleadged communeth with a woman of Sa●…ria asketh drinke of her and after giveth to her and the men of the Citie water of life And elsewhere impersonateth in a Samaritane the duty of mercy which a Priest and Levite had neglected And rebukes the preposterous zeale of Iames and Iohn which would have called fire from heaven upon the Samaritanes that received them not giving us rather an example of meeknesse and gentlenesse towards all howsoever exasperated against us then of further enraging and setting off those that are separated Korah Dathan and Abiram made a schisme against the Priests of God presuming to worship the true God as the Priests did whereas it was not their office see the event Numb 16. 26 30. The earth opened and they went alive to hell with all that were in their company THe rebellion of Korah and his company against Moses and Aaron is very plainly referred to the seeking the Priest-hood vers 10. As for the offering incense it was by the commandement of Moses vers 17. I see not what this example makes to the purpose unlesse it teach men not to rend themselves from the Church of God or joyne in the despising of government with them that seek worldly glory and not the glory of God Heresie for the confusion and dissention in the doctrine is called Babylon The Prophet Ieremy saith of it Fly from the midst of Babylon goe out from her my people lest you be partaker of her sinnes and receive of her plagues Apoc. 18. 4. cap. 14. 9. To be with her in the act of her rebellion in the service of God which she hath set up
