A78561	A tender salutation: or, loving epistle to such, who have a breathing in the innocent life of my friends with whom I walked in the outward observances. Also, for my relations (after the flesh) with all others professing God, and that have any breathings after the truth in the inward parts. Wherein something is declared in the power and light of God, concerning the sure foundation, and the house of God, with the inward glory, government, cloathing, feeding, non-superiority, and safety, that is in Gods habitation. With a word to the weak to establish them, that they faint not at the appearances of outward trouble for their consciences. - Whereunto is annexed a further discovery of God to my soul, concerning the spiritual temple, tabernacle and ark of Gods testimony, being the truth, life, and substance of the temple, tabernacle and ark of the testimony under the legal day. - To be read in the light, which discovers the things that be of God. -	Chandler, Jacob.	1664 (1664)	Wing C1927A; ESTC R227552	24,960	33

was in a Type and shadow this is in truth and in substance Deut. 10.30 that was wrought by mans hands this is wrought by the finger and Spirit of God I say that Legal Ark was a Type Hebr 9.3 4. Exod. 23.33 and Christ Jesus the Ark of the New Covenant is the Antitype of the Tipe the residence of the Legal Ark was in the Temple or Tabernacle not in the outward Court or Sanctuary but within the Curtain or Vail called the Holy of Holies by Gods appointment so is the Gospel-Ark the Ark of the New Covenant it s in the holy place it s within the Vail Col. 1.27 it s not in the outward Court of profession or Sanctuary of observation but within Christ in you the hopes of glory And know you not that Christ is in you except you be reprobates 2 Cor. 13.5 II. In this Legal Ark whose place of residence as before said was in the Temple Deut. 10.4 5. and in the holy of holies in the Temple there was put the two Tables of stone whereon was the Law of the Ten Words or Ten Commandments by which the Jews in their day was to walk what does this figure forth unto us Rom. 8.2 but the Law of the Spirit of life which was in Christ Jesus the Ark of Gods presence which Law is alwayes in the Ark for believers to walk by as God said This is my Son hear him And Friends it s he only that teaches the will of God perfectly and profitably for none teaches to profit like him Hebr. 8.10 Jet 31.33 2 Cor. 3 3. I will write my Law in your hearts and put it into your inward parts said the Lord. It s not now as under the Legal dispensation a written Law without on Tables of stone or by pen and ink but upon the Tables of our hearts by the Spirit of the living God and this Law of the Spirit of life is read and known by all that comes to know it in the Lord Jesus Christ the light the Ark the Covenant and Gospel of God III. In the Legal Ark there was Aarons Rod put which budded in the Ark c. what does this figure forth Ans Heb. 9.4 Gal. 5.22 John 15.8 John 3.21 Isa 26.12 Ezek. 37.1 c. The Spirit of God which buds blossoms and brings forth fruit to the praise and glory of the pure God which pure Spirit is in Christ Jesus the Ark of God without which none can bring forth fruit except they abide in it and that in them working the works of God in them and for them for without this Aarons Rod viz. the Spirit of God what dry sticks dry bones are we bringing forth no fruit to God nor good to our Neighbour so that to me Aarons Rod does figure forth the pure Spirit of life Col. 1.27 29. and the budding is that fruit that is brought forth where it is by its operation and working and this is in the Ark in Christ Jesus who dwells in the Temple that is made without hands Acts 17.24 Chap. 7.48 IV. In the Ark of the Legal Temple there was a golden pot of Manna put c. Now what also does this figure forth I shall declare as God hath inlightned me in it and given my soul to taste hereof which is the sweet fruit and divine manifestations of his precious love to the soul in and through the Spirit it s the precious fruit of the Kingdom of light the true bread that cometh down from heaven John 6.51 the which the soul that eats thereof shall never dye and no soul comes to eat of this Manna but as he overcomes Rev. 1 ●7 and he that overcomes shall eat of this hidden Manna i. e. shall eat of the peaceable fruits and have the divine manifestations and sweet refreshings of the eternal Spirit of truth It was laid up in the golden pot now gold is the purestand finest of all mettals 1 Tim. 3.9 so this Manna I speak of is put into a clean Vessel into a pure and holy heart and the more any soul comes to be clean pure and holy the more they come to enjoy and see God For the pure in heart shall see God Mat. 3.8 Heb. 11.14 and without holinesse none shall see God But I say as they come to be holy and pure so they shall see God and the more the soul comes to see God the more is that soul transformed into the likenesse of God now the more any soul sees God and is like God the more does that soul eat of this hidden Manna i. e. this soul feels a spting of life peace comfort 2 Cor 3.18 joy in the Holy Ghost spring up in him wherein the soul comes to be strengthned fixed and established in God and his soul feeds on this and is refreshed and this is the Manna the meat he eats that the world knows not of and which a carnal flesh in all its outward shew cannot feel nor see John 4.32 for its spiritually seen and felt Blessed is he that knows and feels the living vertue and spring of it V. Upon the Legal Ark there was the Mercy-seat c. what does this shew Answ It figures forth unto us that the tender mercies of God is seated on Jesus Christ for God in himself is unknowable unutterable unexpressable unconceivable as having nothing to do with his creatures or his creatures with him but as he hath introduced himself into them through his Son and so the eternal God comes to be known seen felt and heard as he hath and does make forth himself through his Son by his Spirit so that all knowledge and mercy of God comes in upon the revelation of the Son as Christ said John 1.18 Mat. 11.27 None have seen God at any time save the Son and unto whom the Son shall reveal him Neither can we see God in the divine manifestation and discovery in the Spirit of his eternal goodnesse righteousnesse and truth except the Son does reveal him so that in this brief hint it may be seen if the light of God doth inlighten according to the measure of it that its on the Ark of the testimony of God to wit Christ Jesus that mercy is seated for this is the way of all mercy to the whole Creation Friends I give you but a hint of these things though sometimes I see much of these things in the deep VI. Upon the Legal Ark was two Cherubims covering their faces with their wings because of his presence Now as God manifests his living pure presence the flesh is hid and doth disappear and that soul is led by the Spirit and walks after the Spirit and not after the flesh Rom. 8.1 14. Oh when the Lord God in his eternal Spirit of light and holy brightnesse appears according to the measure of its manifestation what a trembling is there in the flesh by reason of his presence and glorious
