reade of should be in the times of the Gospel First Christ he is our Altar in the Gospel so it is in Heb. 13. 10. We have an Altar that those have no right to eat of it that serve aâ— the Tabernacle that is such men as shall pertinaciously still stick to the Ceremonies of the Law they have no right to partake of Jesus Christ And then further you shall find that in the Gospel there is a prophesie of the Altar that the Church shall have in Ezek. 41. 22. The Altar that was in the Law the text saith it was to be a cubit long and a cubit broad but that which must be in the time of the Gospel must be three cubits high and two cubits long and this notes thus much That there shal be a larger extent of the service of God in the time of the Gospel than in the time of the Law that place in Malachi doth much open this 1. 11. For from the rising of the Sun even unto the going down of the same my Name shall be great among the Gentiles and in every place Incense shall be offered unto my Name and a pure offering for my Name shall be great among the Heathen saith the Lord of hosts Another thing observable is It was set before the Vail by the Ark of the Testimony before the Mercy-seat It was to stand in the holy of holiest but just before the Vail right against the Mercy-seat and by this you must be helped to understand that Scripture in Heb. 9. 4. which as some understand it seems to have some variety from this it is said that the holiest of all had the golden Censer by which they understand the golden Altar in which the Censer was but we shall find that the golden Altar did not stand in the holy of holiest for we reade in Exod. 30. 6. And thou shalt put it before the Vail that is by the Ark of the Testimony before the Mercy-seat that is over the Testimony And therefore Interpreters reconcile it thus it is not said here that the golden Censer or Altar if we so take it was in it but it had it that is it was for the use of the holy of holiest and it stood just before the holy of holiest and just against the Mercy-seat so that the high Priest when he was to enter into the holy of holiest he was to take a Censer and Incense from this Altar and so go into the holiest of all But this is the Note in that the Altar of Incense stands just against the Mercy-seat and yet there is a Vail between the Mercy-seat and it So when we are to offer up our Incense upon the Merits of Christ and his Intercession though we cannot by the eye of our bodies see the Mercy-seat yet we must act our faith upon the Mercy-seat and then that 's observable that the Incense must be burnt upon this Altar at that very time when the Lamps were to be trim'd and lighted so you shall observe it in Exod. 30. 7. and that was to note thus much to us That we are to joyn the Word with our Prayers and not to come ignorantly to God but labor to enlighten our souls with the Lamp of his Word when we come to offer up our Incense to God Further There is a command that no strange Incense shall be offered upon it This is to teach us thus much That we must take heed of bringing any thing to God to offer him in Prayer but what comes from the Spirit of God only Gods own Incense Take heed I say of bringing unsanctified parts or any thing but that which is from the Spirit of God Lastly Once a year an atonement was made upon the horns of the Altar with the blood of the Sin-offering though the Sin offering was not offered upon it yet once a year an atonement was made upon it with the blood of the Sin-offering This is to note thus much That even by our Incense we defile the Altar what in us lies And thus I have a little digrest and yet it is still for opening of Scripture to you to shew unto you the meaning of Gods Altars But why would God have no other Altars but accounted it so hainous a crime to make any other Altars but those The Reasons are these First Because these Altars did typifie these two things The Altar of burnt-offerings did typifie this That Christ was to be the only Sacrifice there should be no other sacrifice to pacifie Gods wrath but only Jesus Christ who was both the Sacrifice indeed and the Altar its self for his human Nature was offered to God upon the Merits as it were upon the worthiness of his divine Nature Heb. 9. 14. How much more shall the blood of Jesus Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God c. This Altar did signifie the offering of Jesus Christ As if God should say Know that what endeavors you do or can use to satisfy my Justice and my wrath it is to no purpose there 's nothing but only my Son and that offering that shall satisfie my wrath and now for them to make more Altars it was to deny that great point of Religion that there was only the Sacrifice of Christ to satisfie God Secondly This signified That in Christ only our services which are our spiritual sacrifices are accepted of God there must be no Altar but this for the sacrifice and the other for Incense God would have this Doctrine kept pure from that time and so ever after that none of our spiritual sacrifices can be accepted any other way but only as they have reference to Jesus Christ that Altar that the Lord hath appointed And then another reason why the Lord would have only thiâ— Altar for Sacrifice and the other for Incense and that all the people should come to these Altars it was That it might be the bond of the Church because the people of the Jews were a National Church therefore there was to be a National Worship for that all the Nation was to joyn not only in the same likeness of Worship but in the very same individual Worship and this was the bond of their National Church Now for my part I know none living that holds a National Church in these daies in this sense that is to be of Divine Institution and joyned in one by Gods commanding any National Worship for them Where there are in Nations a great many of the Saints of God that they may be called a National Church we despute not against that but people when they talk of a National Church do not conceive the meaning of it Certainly this was a special end why God would have them come to this one Altar it was to be the bond of the National Church that they should have such a worship wherein they were all of them to joyn in

one and this it was that made them a National Church It is not enough to have the same kind of worship as now we al pray and reade the Word in all Congregations we have all the same Sacraments but they must joyn in one individual worship If the Nation of the Jews had worshiped the same God after the same manner in divers Temples and upon divers Altars this had not been a National bond to them but by coming up to the same Temple and offering upon the same Altars and when the Sacrifice and Incense was offered for them all they were joyned in the very act all of them in that one thing this was the thing that did unite them into a Church-union in another manner than any Church-union can be in this world til we have such a kind of Institution as they had We have no Institution for worship but where people may personally joyn together but for thousands of Congregations to be bound by Institution to joyn in the very same bond of worship in the very same individual act such an union we have not in these daies and without the understanding of this aright we understand not the scope why they had but one Altar for burnt offerings and one Altar for Incense But now it may be said That it doth not seem to be such a sin to erect Altars for that 's the sin charged upon Ephraim That they did erect many other Altars for the Scripture speaks of many Altars that were Gods Altars 1 King 19. you know it is the complaint of Elias that they had cast down Gods Altars They have cast down thine Altars now this was spoken after the time of the Law when there was but only two Altars appointed by God and the Prophet did not mean them the Altar for burnt offerings and Incense Therefore the Answers that Divines give to this is That this is spoken of those Altars that the Patriarks and others had built for the honor of God to sacrifice upon before the time that the Law was given by Moses for that one only Altar of sacrifice and here he complains they had cast down those Altars for it was Lawful before the command was given to build divers Altars but after the command was given it was not Yea but still the Objection will be How could it be a sin to cast down those Altars when they were of no further Religious use for after the Command of God for that one Altar then the other were to be demolished Was it not commended in the godly Kings that they cast down high Places and cut down Groves though some of them formerly were for the true Worship of God yet after God had appointed a peculiar place for His Worship and those other places were abused to superstition then they were to be cast down and so there 's no question to be made but all other Altars that were built for Religious uses were to be cast down after Gods own Altars were made The Answer to it therefore is this That the evil that Elijah complains of it was the prophaness of the people their casting off all fear and reverence of God because they did not cast down those Altars out of love to God and his Worship upon this Principle that they would not suffer any thing that might be dangerous to superstition that was not the Principle whereby they were acted in casting them down but they cast them down as led thereunto by malice and rage against Religion and to satisfie their lusts and thus if men oppose that which is indeed superstitious yet if it be not out of a true love to God and his Honor if it be not out of a desire to set up and to maintain the true Worship of God but in a bitterness and rage meerly out of self-ends to please themselves in a way of revenge or through any distemper though I say the thing be evil that these men do oppose yet God will not own it as any service to him it is a sin in them to cast down that which should be cast down if they do not cast it down out of a right and gracious Principle Then what evil is it for men in bitterness of spirit to oppose that which is in its self good if God account it sin to oppose that which which should be opposed if it be through bitterness of spirit and not through gracious Principles They have made many Altars Whatsoever is made by man in a Religious Worship it is rejected of God there must be nothing of mans making in Divine Worship the very spirit and life of the second Commandement it consists in this Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven Image That 's one instance in the matter of Worship but by that we are to understand any thing in Divine Worship we must not make to our selves I say there lies the very life and the very spirit of the second Commandement the making to our selves if God will appoint Ceremonies significant to put us in mind of Heavenly things and stir up our hearts on high we are to use them with reverence and respect but if we will presume to do things as God hath done that 's the ground of all superstitious Ceremonies because they find God makes some they think that they may presume to make others to imitate God now it is a sin against the second Commandement for us to presume to make any thing in matters of Divine Worship Further They have made many There 's no stop that 's the Note in superstitious Worship if men leave the rule they know not where to stay hence is the multiplying of things thus among the Papists five hundred Altars in some one Temple And Austin in his 19 th Epistle complains of the multitude of Ceremonies that were in the Church in his time What complaints would he have now All things in the Church were full of presumptions they did multiply one thing after another and indeed let but the right way once be left and there 's no limits Oh let us take heed how we multiply in Gods Worship there 's much controversie between the Papists and us about multiplying in the Worship of God We would have but one MEDIATOR they would have many We would have but one rule of Faith but they will give power to Pope and Church to make Articles of faith we would have but one object of Worship they would have many we would have but one Sacrifice they would have many Oblations for the quick and dead we would have but one Satisfaction they would have many we would have but one Merit they would have many And thus by multiplying the unity of the Church is divided but we must keep to the unity that we find in the Scriptures And then further They have made many Altars In the opening what a sin it was to make any other Altar but that
they should triumph why not though you have gotten the day yet these Wars are Wars that you should not triumph in for by this means the Nation of the Jews is grown weaker and is in more danger to be made a prey to the common enemies and therefore do not you rejoyce as other people might rejoyce in such a Conquest And Indeed such are our Wars and Victories at this day we must not rejoyce in our Conquests as other people not so rejoyce as if French or Spaniards came among us or as if we were in a forreign Nation for our Conquests weakens our own Nation it is the destruction of our Brethren and therefore in this we are not to rejoyce as other people in their conquests Or secondly according to others it doth refer to that time when Menahem made a League w th the Assyrian 2 King 15. 9. for there 's no such way to understand the meaning of the Prophets than the reference to the time that they preached in and that they aim at we reade that Menahem made a League that was the King of the ten Tribes of Israel made a League with the Assyrian that great King that he might be with him to confirm the Kingdom in his hand Now people use when Leagues of passification and association are confirmed between them and others to triumph and rejoyce by outward expressions to manifest their great content in them Oh! now there is a peace made now we shall grow stronger than ever we were and be delivered from many troubles that were heretofore upon us Israel blessed themselves in the Assyrian in that they had got such a rich and mighty Prince to be on their side that now they had made their peace with him they thought they were safe enough now they were secure and contemn'd all threats and derided all that the Prophets should say against them now the Malignants they lift up their heads and insult over them that would say Gods Judgments would follow them if they did not joyn with Gods people in the true Worship of God they sung away care and none thought of any danger in regard of their sin they could not endure to hear of any complaining of any thing that might disturb their jolity and conceipted happiness that they promised to themselves the continuance of But now saith the Lord by the Prophet Rejoyce not wiâ—h joy as other people be not too confident with whom you have made such a sure League for they may prove to be your undoing it may prove to be the instruments of the greatest wrath of God against you that ever you had and indeed he was so the Assyrians that they made their peace withal and joyned in League with and rejoyced much in he proved to be the greatest instrument of wrath that ever the people these ten Tribes had you have made your peace with him and now you rejoyce but you have not made your Peace with God saith the Prophet What good can Passifications can Leagues made with men peace struck with them do so lokng as stil ye go a whoring from your God and break your peace and covenant with him daily Oh rejoyce not therefore For observe Though Leagues and peace made with such as have been enemies are matter of rejoycing but they may likewise be such as we may have little cause to rejoyce in they have the names of peace and union a while but suddenly they may change their names and be call'd a massacre and ruin and destruction to a Nation especially if the foundation of our peace be not laid in reformation and still a people goes a whoring from their God rejoyce in no peace that you can make with any whatsoever so long as you go a whoring from the Lord. That 's the Note from thence if it hath reference to the time when people have been worn out with Wars they are greedy of any kind of peace they care not with whom they make it Oh nothing but peace let us have that and if there be but a peace concluded once upon never such unsafe terms Oh! the Bells must ring and Bonfires must be made This seem'd to be the condition of the people at this time but saith God you are deceived this peace you have made will prove your undoing Rejoyce not therefore as other people for you have gone a whoring from your God But those Observations that we may take from either of these two times from the time that they got conquests over their enemies or secondly from the time of their peace put them both together are such as these First Carnal hearts rejoyce and bless themselves in their outward present prosperity in their Health Strength Friends as if all were wel with them although they be under much guiltiness though there be fearful breaches between God and their souls and how things are between God and them they care not so be it all may be well with them for outward things this is the guize for carnal hearts they are presently upon the merry pin and rejoyce and delight much if so be that thy may have but any prosperity though but for a while if there be no punishment of sin upon them the guilt and polution of sin never troubles them Saith Augustin in his twelfth Tract upon John The joy of the world is nothing else but their wickedness unpunished if God do not punish them presently then they have a great deal of joy And in Amos 6. 4. there you have the discription of the people of Israel more at large for Amos prophesied in the same time that Hosea did They lie upon beds of Ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches and eat the Lambs our of the flock and the Calves out of the midst of the stall that chaunt to the sound of the Viol and invent to themselves instruments of musick like David that drink Wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the chief oyntments but they are not grieved for the afflictions of Joseph Well have not you more reason you afflicted and distressed Saints to rejoyce in God without the world than they have to rejoyce in the world without God shall not all the wrath of God that hangs over the heads of wicked men and all the guilt there is upon them damp their joy when they have but meat and drink and cloath and a little outward prosperity and shall the loss of a few creature comforts such as many Reprobates have to the full damp your joy when you have an interest in all there is in God in Christ in the World in Heaven in Eternity when all this is the matter of your joy what an unreasonable thing is this A second Observation from the words Rejoyce not O Israel When men are jolly and merry they should consider Well but would God have us to rejoyce They were jolly and frolick I but the Prophet comes in the
