Herein likevvise is shewed what customes the Hebrewes borrowed from heathen people: and that many heathenish customes, originally haue beene vnwarrantable imitations of the Hebrewes.

of burialls but concerning the latter it will not bee amisse to note that the Talmudists determine the matter thus saying c Vide Cunaeum de rep Heb. lib. 2. cap. 3. That it was lawfull for the High-Priest to teare the skirt or neather part of his garment but from the bosome downeward it was vnlawfull which if it bee true then it doth not necessarily follow that Caiaphas did contrary to the law in renting his clothes Matthew 26. 65. The inferiour Priests might mourne for these six Father Mother Sonne Daughter Brother and Sister that had no husband Leuit. 21. 2. In the discharge of their offices the High-Priest and other Priests agreed in these particulars 1. They both burnt incense and offered sacrifices 1 Chron. 6. 49. Secondly they both sounded the trumpets the vse whereof was twofold sometimes to sound an alarum in warre sometimes to assemble the people and their Rulers Num. 10. Thirdly they both slew the sacrifices 2 Chron. 29. 22. Fourthly They both instructed the people Mal. 2. 7. Fiftly They both iudged of leprosie Leuit. 13. 2. For the more orderly performance of these offices the High-Priest had his suffragan d Elias Thisbit called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Sagan who in case of the High-Priests pollution performed his office Of this sort was Zephaniah Ier. 52. 24. And of this sort Annas is thought to haue beene when Caiaphas was High-Priest e Casaubor aduers Baron p. 242. It. Ioseph Scaliger in Prolegom ad Euseb In this sense they interpret Annas and Caiaphas to haue beene High-Priests the same yeere Luke 3. 2. The High-Priest and his Sagan resembled our Bishop and his Suffragan The Patriarke of Constantinople and his Primore termed Protosyncellus and amongst the Romanes the Centurion and his Optio for the Lieutenant in warre who in case of necessity supplied the Centurions place were termed Optiones That euery one of the Inferiour Priests might equally serue in his order King Dauid distributed the whole company of them into twentie foure rankes or courses called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Turm● vices Nadab and Abihu being dead there remained onely two sonnes to Aaron namely Eleazar and Ithamar now as the succession of Priests was preserued in these two families so did Dauid at this time according to the number of people in each family make his diuision Eleazars family he diuided into sixteene ranks and Ithamars into eight the diuision was by Lot the first lot fell to Iehoiarib the second to Iedaiah the third to Harim c. 1 Chron. 24. Euery ranke or course serued weekely in the Temple by turne and the rankes receiued their names from those who at that time were the heads of the seuerall families and euer after retained the same names The chiefe of euery ranke was called Summus Sacerdos istius classis The chiefe Priest of that ranke Hence it is that we reade of many High-Priests assembled together Marke 14. 1. Furthermore we are to note that as the weekely courses fell out by lot so did they by lot determine each particular Priests seruice namely who should burne incense who slay the beasts who lay them on the Altar who dresse the Lamps c. Zacharias was of the course of Abia Luke 1. 5. that is of the eight course and his lot was to burne incense Luke 1. 9. The office of the Leuites was to pitch to take downe to beare vp and downe the Tabernacle and the vessells thereof Leui had three sonnes Gershon Cohath and Merari and accordingly the whole company of the Leuites were distinguisht into three orders Gershonites Cohathites and Merarites The Gershonites charge was to carry the couerings and hangings of the Tabernacle The chiefe things within the Sanctuary were committed to the Cohathites The wood-worke and the rest of the instruments were committed to the charge of the Merarites Numb 3. This was the office of the Leuites in Moses his time and whiles they were on their iourney in the wildernesse but afterward when they were setled in the promised land then Dauid changed their office appointing them some to haue the charge of the treasures of the Temple 1 Chron. 26. 20. others to be ouer-seers and Iudges others to bee Porters others Singers 1 Chron. 23. 4. The singers in time of singing were clad in linnen Robes or Surplesses 2 Chro. 5. 12. The Singers were diuided into twentie foure orders or courses 1 Chron. 25. 8. And the Porters into as many 1 Chron. 26. that both might supply their turnes weekely by lot as the Priests did In Moses time also their consecration beganne at the fiue and twentieth yeare of their age In Dauids at the twentieth 1 Chron. 23. 24. Ezra 3. 8. Here we may note the libertie granted vnto the Church in changing Ceremonies the office of the Leuites in Dauids time was not the same as in Moses and againe Moses and Dauid agreed not in the time of their consecration Againe in the Christian Church we shall finde in Matthias his election the vse of lots not so in Pauls or any other of the Apostles In their meetings vse of an holy kisse and at the Lords Supper vse of their loue feasts both now antiquated throughout Christendome Moreouer there are certaine degrees obserueable among the Leuites 1. Their initiation when they were a moneth old they were initiated and presented vnto God Numb 3. 15. Secondly their consecration they were consecrated by imposition of handes when they were 25. yeares old Numb 8. 24. From thence for the fiue yeares following they learned their office Those that imposed hands on them are said in the Text Numb 8. 10. to be the sonnes of Israel Chazkuni interpreteth that place the First borne of Israel They were the Representatiue Church and in allusion to this the Church of Christ is called the Church of the first borne Heb. 12. 23.

Thirdly their Ministration to carry vp and downe the Tabernacle and this was at the thirtieth yeare of their age vntill the fiftieth Num. 4. 3. Lastly their vacation or discharge from that laborious seruice of carrying the Tabernacle notwithstanding euen then they were to serue in their charge to encampe round about the Tent to sing and to beware that no stranger came into the Temple h Francisc Iunius Analyt expos Num. 8. and likewise to ouersee and instruct younger Leuites in manner of Bishops Vnto these degrees the Apostle seemeth to haue respect They that haue ministred well get themselues a good degree 1 Tim. 3. 13.
