Goat and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wildernesse And the Goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities into a land not inhabited and he shall let go the Goat in the Wildernesse Now minde how this type was to set forth Christs taking away all our sins that believe on him as may appear by the Prophets prophecying of the same as the Evangelical Prophet Esay Surely he hath born our griefs and carried our sorrowes yet we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted But he was wounded for our iniquities the chastisements of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed All we like Sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way Minde And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all Also the Prophet Daniel plainly shewed this Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy City to finish the transgression and to make an end of Sins and to make reconciliation for Iniquity and to bring in everlasting Righteousness And after threescore and two weeks shall Messias be cut off but not for himself Minde who it is that maketh an end of sin and bringeth everlasting righteousnesse namely Christ the Messias this the Prophet Zachariah prophecyeth of saying I will bring forth my servant the Branch for hehold the stone that I have laid before Joshuah upon one stone shall be seven eyes Behold I will engrave the graving thereof saith the Lord of Hosts and I will remove the iniquity of the Land in one day What day surely that day when Christ suffered when he said It is finished according to that of the Apostle to the Colossians And you being dead in your sins hath he quickned together with him having forgiven you all trespasses Blotting out the hand writing of Ordinances that were against us which was contrary to us and took it out of the way nailing it to his Crosse And the Apostle saith to the Colossians Though you were sometime alienated and enemies in your mindes by wicked workes yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight whom we preach that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus not in your selves or by any thing you work suffer or do but by what Christ suffered and did in the body of his flesh even by that one offering saith the Author to the Hebrews hath he perfected for ever hereunto agreeth that of the Apostle to the Ephesians That Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and clense it with the washing of water by the word tha●●e might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing By these Scriptures I hope you may see how our perfection is in and by Christ By what he did our sins are perfectly abolished not out of us as the Papists and you Quakers hold but fully satisfied for by Christ God having received an attonement for them by Christ This also was typed by the brazen Serpent that Moses by the Lords appointment caused to be put upon a pole and any man that was bitten with a Serpent when he beheld or looked upon the Serpent was healed and this was prophecyed by the Prophet Malachi saying The Son of righteousnesse shall arise with healing in his wings alluding to the wings of the Cherubims that covered the Mercy-seat upon the Ark which Ark was also a lively type of Christ This the Lord also promised by his Prophet I saiah saying I have seen his waies and I will heal him I create the fruit of the lips peace peace to him that is far off and to him that is near saith the Lord and I will heal him This the Lord also promised by the Prophet Jermiah In those dayes and at that time saith the Lord the Iniquity of Israel shall be sought for and there shall be none ad the sins of Judah and they shall not be found for I will pardon them This also is set forth by several other metaphorical prophesies and promises as that the Lord will not remember their sins that he will cast them into the depth of the Sea to cast them behinde his back to wipe it away like a cloud and this John Baptist pointed at Christ saying Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world And as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the wildernesse even so must the Son of man be lifted up that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternall life for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternall life by whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgivenesse of sins And the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin This is the perfection from sin by Justification which our Ministers teach and not a perfection inherent in us as your Quakers Papists Catharists and Familists teach and as they teach a perfection from sin by Christ alone so do they teach and so do I believe that Christ hath wrought perfect righteousnesse for all the elect according to the Scriptures For it is not sufficient to bring us to Heaven to be freed from sin for a Horse hath no sin but there must be perfect righteousnesse without which no man can enter into Heaven for as I said before Adam was not only made without sin but was made righteous and we must be restored to an estate of righteousnesse by Christ the second Adam and this was typed by the two Tables being put into the Ark and there to be kept to shew that Christ the true Ark kept and fulfilled the Law and this the Prophet David prophesieth of Christ Then said I lo I come in the volume of the book it is written of me I delight to do thy will O God yea thy Law is within my heart I have preached righteousnesse in the great Congregation I have not hid thy righteousnesse within my heart This also is plainly set forth in the prophesie of Zachariah saying Take away the filthy garments from him and unto him he said Behold I have caused thine iniquity to passe from thee and I will cloath thee with change of rayment for behold I will bring forth my servant the Branch Minde that his iniquity was not only to passe but be cloathed with change of rayment which is the righteousnesse of Christ called the Branch and surely shall one say In the Lord have I rigteousnesse in the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified This is that the Church rejoyceth in saying I will greatly rejoyce in the Lord my soul shall be joyfull in my God for he hath cloathed me with the garments of
