that is the circumcision which is inward known by the spirit and we are the circumcision in Christ who worship God in the spirit and have no confidence in the flesh and who are circumcised outwardly they are bound to keep the whole Law which none of the Jewes could do who had circumcision outwardly but who are of faith are of Abrabraham unto whom the promise was when he was in the uncircumcision or before he was circumcised so that neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision but a new Creature Jer 4.3 Colos 2.11 Rom. 2.25.28 29. Phil. 3.3 1 Cor. 7.19 Gal. 5.2 Ioh. 7.19 Rom. 4.10 4 Of the outward Passover THe Lord God commanded the Passover to be observed in the first Covenant which was a Lambe without blemish a male of the first yeare which was to be roasted with fire and they were not to carry the flesh of it abroad but to eat it with their loines girded and their shoos on their feet and they did strike the blood of this lamb on the posts of the door of the house where they did eat it which was for a token unto them that the Lord seeing it he would not smite them when he smote the Egyptians but his plague did passe over them and did not hurt them that eat the passeover and they kept the feast of it seven daies with unleavened bread But no uncircumcised person might eate of the pasover now the ordinance of the passover was in force untill Christ fulfilled it that night he was betrayed he eate the passover with his disciples Exo. 12. Lev. 23.5 Num. 9.12 and 28.16 Mat. 26. Mark 14.12 Luke 22. In the second Covenant is Christ received and his life made manifest in the Saints and he is our passover who hath offered himselfe a lamb without spot to God having laid down his life for the ransome of many and he is the bread of life and his flesh is meat indeed and his blood is drink indeed which except a man eat and drink he hath no life in him and with him is the Saints feast and solemnity kept of unleavened bread of sincerity and truth having their hearts circumcised and purified unto God by his spirit and the old leaven of iniquity and corruption purged our and the loines of their minds girded up in the spirit and life of Christ which brings to see him the bread of life which came down from God and in this feast must none be partakers but who come to have their minds joyned unto God and their hearts circumcised from unrighteousnesse by his spirit and they who are come to Christ the Saints passover they are kept in remembrance of him and do witnesse him come that they need not observe the taking of outward bread and wine and elementary things to keep them in remembrance of him or to signifie the crucifying of his body and shedding of his blood as many in the world do 6.

Levit. 25. Deut. 15.2.12 Jer. 34.14 They who are come into the second Covenant have received Christ who is the Lord of the Sabboth the end of the Sabbaths without for meats and drinks and new Moons holy dayes and Sabbaths were but a shadow of things to come which they who do observe the shadow they neglect the substance even the body of Christ And the Jewes who observed the Sabboths without they accused Christ because he healed the sick on the Sabboth-day and because his disciples had pluckt the eares of Corn on the Sabboth day but these knew not him who was Lord of the Sabboth And the Jews said unto one that had been an Impotent man that Christ had cured on the Sabboth day it is the Sabboth day it is not Lawful for thee to carry thy bed he Answerred them he that made me whole the same said unto me take up thy bed and walk and the Jews sought the more to kill Jesus not onely because he had broken the Sabboth but said also that God was his Father and in Acts 1.12 it is written then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet which is from Jerusalem a Sabboth dayes Journey And according to one Greek translation in the 6 Chap. of Luke next after the 5 vers it is written Jesus seeing a certaine man working on the Sabbath-day said unto him O man if thou didst know indeed what thou dost thou wert happy but if thou knowest not thou art accursed and a transgressor of the Law And the saints who were come to Christ the end of the outward Sabboths they met on the first dayes of the weeks not in observation to the dayes but in obedience to Christ in whom is the everlasting Sabboth of rest remaining where the burthens must not be for the people of God who continue in his Faith and love whereby the rest comes to be obtained And the year or time of release or restauration comes to be witnessed and the Bedemption from under the bondages and the burthens known and the Iniquity which hath caused burthens is there taken away by the Lord of the Sabboth who is the foundation of many Generations who is raised up to him that maketh the Sabboth his delight and doth not his own pleasure nor speaketh his own words on the holy day he shall delight himself in the Lord but unto this Sabbath are all strangers who are following their own pleasures and lusts from whence the Wars and the strifes do arise speaking their own words And none comes to the true rest but they who receive the true light wch brings man to deny his own will

thoughts words and actions and to be given up in the will of the Lord God in singleness to wait upon him to be refreshed in his holy and everlasting day and to know and witness the acceptable year which the Redeemer of Israel hath proclaimed and is come to make manifest and he that is entred into his rest he also hath ceased from his own works as God did from his But all that continue in sin and Rebellion against God and the murmurers and unbelievers are shut out of the true rest Mat. 12.8 Luke 6.5 Col. 2.16 17.23 Mat. 12.1 Mar. 2.23 Luk. 6.1 Joh. 5.9.10.11.18 Joh 20.19 Acts 20.7 1 Cor. 16.2 Rom. 8.21 Isai 58.13 Heb. 4.10 Rom. 2 8 9. Rev. 21.8 6. Of the brazen serpent that Moses made WHen the people in the time of the first Covenant had murmured against God so that he caused Serpents to come among them and bite them that many of the people died then he caused Moses to make a fiery Serpent of brass which he set upon a pole and behold every man that was bitten with a Serpent if he beheld the brazen Serpent he was cured that he lived but afterward the people idolized this Serpent and it was broken down as the Lord commanded because of their Idolatry Num. 21.6.7.8 2 King 18.4 In the second Covenant is the power of Christ the righteous seed known which bruiseth the Serpents head and taketh away and destroyeth the enmity of the dragon that old Serpent which deceiveth the Nations and this seed giveth power over Serpents that they who are in him may tread upon Scorpions and not be stung and the wicked one cannot touch him that abideth in Christ who is revealed in his people and is the saving health and salvation of his people whose vertue and life hath been manifest of old accompanying the commands of God without which the Israelites could not have been cured when they looked on the Brazen Serpent without which as Moses lifted up the Brazen Serpent in the wilderness so is the Son of man lifted up that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life But they who continue in their hardness of heart in impenitency and unbelief they reject the saving health of Christ and must be plagued for their iniquities and their torment will be as the torment of a Scorpion when he striketh a man Gen. 3.15 Isai 27.1 Luke 10.9 1 Joh 5.18 Joh. 3.14 Rev. 9.4.5 7. Of oathes and swearing IN the first Covenant there was oaths and swearing between man and man for the deciding of controversies and they were to perform unto the Lord their oathes and not forswear themselves and men were to fulfill their vowes also which they made unto the Lord and as appears swearing was not used in all cases of controversies nor by both the parties between whom the controversie was but by the party accused or impeached where they had not witnesses to decide the controversie without oaths for at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established Exod 22.11 Levit. 19.12 Num 30.2 Deut. 6.13 10.20 Num. 35.30 Deut. 17.6 19.15 But Christ Jesus who is the everlasting Covenant of God and the life and fulness of the New Testament said ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time thou shalt not forswear thy self but shalt perform unto the Lord thy oathes But I say unto you swear not at all neither by heaven for it is Gods throne nor by the earth for it is his footstool nor by Jerusalem for it is the City of the great King neither shalt thou swear by the head because thou canst not make one hair white or b●ack But let your communication be yea yea and nay nay for whatsoever is more then these cometh of evil And said the Apostle James above all things my Brethren swear nor neither by heaven neither by earth neither by any other oath but let your yea be yea and your nay nay least you fall into condemnation So that all swearers and all swearing is out of Christ and the Apostles doctrine and every one that sweareth shall be cut off and he that transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God and all that professe a love to Christ ought to abide in his doctrine and keep his sayings And they that love Christ are come out of all the strife and the enmity which causeth the controversies and the swearing unto Christ in whom the Godhead dwells and unto whom all power is given over Angels Thrones and Dominions principalities and powers And if Rulers come to the light of Christ in them they will receive wisdom and power to see an end put to the strifes and controversies without swearing either by the mouthes of witnesses or otherwise by diligent inquisition touching the controversies and by true judgement according to the righteous Law of God Mat. 5.34.35.36 37. J●m 5.12 Zech. 5.3 2 Joh. 9. Phil. 2.3 prov 17.14 Mat. 28.18 Col. 1.16.17 Heb. 1.6 chap. 2.5 8. Of the outward anointing of the Priests IN the first Covenant neither Aaron nor his sons the Priests were to Minister before the Lord in the Priests office without being annointed and consecrated And the ointment they were annointed with was the principal of spices composed after the art of Apothecary of pure mi●he of sweet Cinamon and of sweet Callamous and of sweet Cassia and of oil Olive c. Exod. 30.2 to the 30. verse In the second Covenant God hath a royal Priest and a peculiar people who have received a spiritual and inward anointing from God whereby they are fitted for the Lords service and have dominion over the earth for Christ is their annointing who teacheth them all things that they need noman to teach them which the the outward annointing of Priests was a figure of but none are fitted for the service of God neither are any come to have dominion over sin but who have received the inward unction from the Father of life whereby they become a sweet smelling savour unto God even as a garden of spices knowing the Name of the Lord which is as oyntment powred forth and because of the savour of his good oyntments therefore the virgins love him and a bundle of mirhe is my beloved unto me 1 Pet. 25.9 Rev. 1.6 2 Cor. 1.21 1 Joh. 2.27 Cant. 1.3.13 9. Of the Tithes the Priests received IN the first Covenant the Priests had a command to receive Tythes or the tenths of mens increase onely of their brethren and the people was to give them freely were they more or lefs and the Priests did not take them nor force them from the people by compulsion for the Tythes were the Lords portion And every man was to bring his tenths or the value of them unto a house which the Lord appointed for them to bring the tythes unto wch was the storehouse and the fatherless widowes and strangers was received and relieved out
