Passeover that they abstained from the bread of Canaan till then is out of doubt they could not eate it till they came toward the borders of Canaan and about that time Manna ceased but the place of i Deut. 29.5 Deut. 29 5 Joyned with Deut. 2.6 seemeth to me demonstrative that they are no corne at all of any other Nations till they came to the plaine of Jericho PAR. 9. THe fourth great Passeover k See 2 Chro 35.18 recorded though questionlesse betweene Joshua and Samuel many more were observed if probability may take place was in the dayes of Samuel at Mizpeh l 2 Kin. 23.22 2 King 23.22 Surely there was not holden such a passeover as Josiah kept from the dayes of the Iudges that judged Israel over whom Samuel was the last Judge nor in all the dayes of the Kings of Israel or Judah consider the change of the phrase there was none from the dayes of the Iudges nor in the dayes of the Kings of Israel or Iudah and then we may both fairely conclude for the negative that no King of Judah or Israel kept so great a passeover as Iosiah's was and affirmatively that in the dayes of the Iudges such an one was kept and lest you might stagger or be uncertaine it is expressely de●ermined m 2 Chro. 35.18 2 Chron. 35.18 There was no passeover like unto that which Iosiab celebrated from the dayes of Samuel the Prophet whence conjecturally we may inferre that in the dayes of Samuel there was a most famous passeover equall to Iosiah's if not superiour and in likelihood it was at Mizpeh PAR. 10. A Farther enquiry may perhaps delight you of Israels estate at that time a Iosh 18.1 Iosh 18.1 all Israel assembled together at Shiloh and set up the Tabernacle of the Congregation there Ioshua being President Shiloh was Gods place where God set his name at first b Ier. 7.12 Ier. 3.12 And the Arke was in Shiloh and there settled till the sinnes of Eli and his sonnes made it errant so God forsooke the Tabernacle of Shiloh c Psal 78.60 Psal 78.60 Whereupon all things went to wracke the Philistines overcame Israel in battaile the Arke in which they trusted being sent for from Shiloh did not helpe but the Israelites were againe overthrowne the Arke was taken the high Priest brake his necke his children dyed suddaine and violent death's the Tabernacle was separated from the Arke if not destroyed Rulers Priests and people sinfull a very anarchy was in Iacob and that which was worst of all God was offended with them PAR. 11. IN this deplorable estate Samuel entreth on the governement and first for the Ecclesiasticall estate he brought it into good order for d 1 Chro. 9.22 1 Chron. 9.22 Samuel Samuel the Seer was ordainer and founder of Rules and Orders for the Levites in the set offices though David be mentioned as joynt-reformer with Samuel and named in the first place before him as Kings are above Priests yet if David had not followed his advice it would never have beene said David and Samuel did order it PAR. 12. IT is true that every latter reformation of Religion went by former precedents King Iosiah said e 2 Chro. 35.4 2 Chron. 35.4 Prepare by the houses of your Fathers after your courses according to the writing of David King of Israel and according to the writing of Salomon his sonne Againe f 2 Chro. 29.25 2 Chron. 29.25 The Levites were set in the house of the Lord with Cymbals Psalteries and Harpes according to the commandement of David and of Gad the King Seer and Nathan the Prophet as the Lord commanded the song began with the Trumpets and instruments ordained by David ver 27. And they sang prayses to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the Seer ver 30. This was in Hezekiahs Passeover Salomon before them ordered the sacred things in the Temple he did not order those things by his owne will but by the last words of David Ecclesiasticall affaires were ruled as you may discerne if you compare g 1 Chro. 23.27 1 Chro. 24.3 1 Chron. 23.27 with 1 Chron. 24.3 And he was instructed for the building of the house of God h 2 Chro. 3.3 2 Chron. 3.3 Neither was Salomon ruled by Davids mouth-speech alone but David gave to Salomon his sonne the patterne of the porch and other particulars i 1 Chro. 28.11 1 Chron. 28.11 And the patterne of all that he had by the Spirit ver 12. Whence justly resulteth that David had especiall divine Revelations from God and it is likely that from the day of the first unction by Samuel when it was said k 1 Sam. 16.13 1 Sam. 16.13 The Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward that he made divers of these gracious and divine Psalmes and tooke on him the extraordinary thoughts of heavenly things yea David himselfe framed the services of the Levites according to their manner under Aaron their Father as God commanded him l 2 Chro. 24 19 2 Chron. 24.19 PAR. 13. THus winding up from the bottome to the to ppe all true reformation must rest in him from whom all order did spring that is God As in the making of the Tabernacle there was nothing left to the invention of Moses m Exod. 25.9 Exod. 25.9 According to all that I shew thee after the patterne of the Tabernacle and after the patterne of all the instruments thereof so shall ye make it Which is re-confirmed in the New Testament For see saith God that thou make all things according to the patterne shewed thee in the Mount a Heb. 8.5 Heb. 8 5. So out of doubt David had his patternes to follow I named before the Spirit which taught him and the direction of his Seers and Prophets with whom he conversed and the example of Aaron Last of all I say that I may returne from whence I digrested it would never have beene said that David and Samuel ordered such and such things if David had not rather followed Samuels patterne or directions then Samuel Davids For Samuel was the ancienter both man and Iudge and Prophet yea a knowne Prophet of the Lord unto whom in trouble David resorted in private b 1 Sam. 19.18 1 Sam 19.18 And both he and Samuel went and dwelt at Naioth in Ramah and were both together ver 22. When it is likely he received instructions from Samuel concerning the future Temple PAR. 14. FOr most certaine it is that Samuel the Seer had dedicated divers things of worth which were employed on the enriching of the Temple c 1 Chr. 26.28 1 Chron. 26.28 When David was but in the poore fortune of a Reversioner and it is as certaine that David and Samuel ordered divers things d 1 Chro. 9.22 1 Chron. 9.22 as I said before Yea it is added to good purpose Samuel 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Samuel

annexed unto the priviledges of their Primogeniture which ancient Custome they observed in this poynt not onely at the first Passeover but ever after even when the Priesthood was setled on Aaron and his sonnes or families unlesse they were defiled as 2 Chro. 30.17 or else some other great occasion interceded PAR. 3. THe first objection to the contrary Yea but it is said 1 Esdr as 7.12 The Levites offered the Passeover for all them of the Captivity and for their brethren the Priests and for themselves I answer as it is in the precedent verses They that were of the Captivity were not all sanctified together but the Levites were all sanctified together Want of sanctification might make them unfit who otherwise had right enough to have discharged the duty The second Objection Ezra 6.20 The Priests and the Levites were purified together all of them were pure and killed the Passeover for all the children of the Captivity and for their brethren the Priests and for themselves I answer the Priests and Levites extraordinary sanctification in the pollution of the multitude reached them out an handle on just opportunity to doe that which others might have done if they had beene truely sanctified This answer is confirmed 2 Chr. 30.17 Many in the Congregation were not sanctified therfore the Levites had the charge of killing of the Passeover for every one that was not cleane and the uncleane did eate it but not kill it And God heard the voyce of Hezekiah praying the good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seeke God though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the Sanctuary ver 18. and 19. Observe I pray you the force of the illative Therefore Therefore the Priests had the charge of killing the Passeover Why first because many in the Congregation were not sanctified Secondly They killed the Passeover for every one who was not there it is not said the Levites or Priests killed the Passeover for all and every one of the Congregation the cleane might sacrifice for themselves and their families but for every one that was not cleane did the Priests and Levites kill the Passeover Lastly some interprete the immolation by the Priests and Levites onely of the Paschalia sacrificia the Paschall Sacrifices so Barradius termeth them and not of the great passeover Sacrificium Pascha the sacrifice of the passeover but because there may seeme little difference in this distinction I rather diversifie it thus They slew and flayed the sacrifices of the Chagigah not of the Sacramentall Pascha of the Herd not of the flocke or if they did sacrifice any of the flocke Lambs Weathers or Rammes these were not for the first dish of the first Course the first night of the Paschall solemnity which was to be an unspotted Male under a yeare old c. but for the other second dishes of the second course or for other dayes of their great Septemdiale Festum Festivity of seven dayes PAR. 4. BEllarmin de missâ 1.7 Paterfamiliâs per se immolabat reliqui per patrem familiâs paterfamiliâs propriè per se immolante reliquis per illum immolantibus voluntate participatione in sacrificium consentientibus The Master of the Family killed the passeover by himselfe others by him and in him he properly they as Consentients and Co-parthers yet Bellarmin determineth not whether the eldest or chiefest of the Family were bound personally to doe it himselfe so bound that he could not depute another in his roome I for my part thinke that as the Primogenitus or First-borne did willingly and most ordinarily performe the duty in his owne person So there were divers dispensable occasions which might permit him to consigne over that office of preparing the passeover for some times to another in his place and as his substitute with vicariall power Barradius more peremptory than Belarmin saith Christ himselfe slew the passeover Where is his proofe That Christ himselfe might have slaine the passeover I deny not hee had a double right unto it first as Paterfamilias or Master of the Family secondly as he was a Priest spiritually of the order of Melchizedek and had the fountaine of all authority and Priesthood in him as he was the eternall Priest but â posse ad esse non valet consequentia from what he might have done to what he actually did doe is no good consequence or he might have done it Ergo he did doe it is no good Argument and the question is not de jure of the right but de facto of the deede This perhaps might be one reason why he designed others to slay the passeover lest if he had slaine it himselfe some mis-judging people might have beene deceived and perhaps thought him to be a Priest lineally descended from Levi or Aaron who were not excluded from slaying the passeover in their owne houses but Christs pedigree is not counted from Levi or his sonnes Heb. 7.6 nor is he to be called Priest after the order of Aaron ver 11. but appertaineth to another Tribe of which no man gave attendance at the Altar ver 13. For it is evident the Lord sprang out of Judah of which Tribe Moses spake nothing concerning Priesthood ver 14. Aquinas part 3. quast 22. Art 1. ad secundum thus Quia sacerdotium veteris Legis erat figura sacerdotii Christi noluit Christus nasci de stirpe figuralium sacerdotum ut ostenderetur non esse omnino idem sacerdotium sed differre sicut verum â figurali that is Because the Priesthood of the old Law was a figure of the Priesthood of Christ Christ would not be borne of the stocke of the Leviticall Priests that it might appeare that his Priesthood and theirs was not all one but that they did differ as the truth from the shadow PAR. 5. SVidas on the word Iesus saith the Iewes kept among their Archiva or Registries that Christ about thirtie yeares of age was chosen a Priest of their Law and thence taught in their Synagogues It is truth they delivered him the Scripture to interpret it Luke 4. but whether to intrap him or else in admiration of his learning or indesire to heare Novelties none knoweth Certainely Priests were Hereditary not Elective and Interpretation of Scripture belonged not to the Tribe of Levi onely for Act. 13.15 Paul who was of the Tribe of Benjamin was requested to exhort PAR 6. HE who diligently readeth the divine story shall find how First the Disciples were carefull to have the passeover provided Matth. 26.17 Mar. 14.12 Secondly our Saviour hearkened to their request as there it followeth Thirdly Christ made an exempt of his Disciples retaining some with himselfe and he sent others to make ready the passeover Fourthly those two whom he sent were none of the meanest but rather the chiefest of his Apostles S. Peter and S. Iohn as it is Luke 22.8 Fiftly in the sacrificing of the passeover you may observe these distinct
