A TREATISE OF THE High Rebellion of Man against GOD In Blasphemy Shewing what it is according to God in the LAW And proving that men not knowing the Sin come daily to commit it without sense thereof WITH An Examination of an ORDINANCE made by the LORDS and the ACT made by the late Parliament against the same Written by an unworthy witness of the Name and Soveraignty of the JEHOVAH Elohims JOHN BRAYNE Rabbi Eliezer We say that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Elohim in every place signifieth judgement Numb 15.30 31. The soul that doth ought presumptuously whether he be born in the land or a stranger the same reproacheth the Lord and that soul shall be cut off from the people because he hath despised the word of the Lord and hath broken his command That soul shall utterly be cut off his iniquity shall be upon him 1 Sam. 15.23 Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft c. Acts 19.37 Ye have brought hither these men which are neither sacrilegious persons nor blasphemers of your goddess Gal. 4.16 Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth London Printed for Richard Moon at the seven stars in Paul's Church-yard neer the great North-door 1653. To his Excellencie The Lord General CROMWEL and to his honourable Councel Right Honourable I Am emboldened to desire your approbation of this ensuing Treatise in all tenderness of heart humbleness of minde and sincerity of love and affection I present it to you In which I commend to your considerations the most weighty Case of Blasphemy and the rather in that I see the wise of the world are at a to-be-admired loss about the nature and being of it the most wise God as by a veil having hid it from their eyes whose glory is most neerly concerned therein And your selves are never able to discharge your trust to God or Men but in your conscionable declining of it with fear in your selves and suppressing it in others I have no more to commend to you but my remembrances of you to God that he would sanctifie you to the great work he hath to do in the world and that he would also direct you in the way thereof and enlarge your hearts thereunto that glory may dwell in our land that your selves may be accepted with and saved of the Lord in the day of salvation and the people as they are capable by you And so resting I remain as I am bound in duty to be a faithful well-wisher to you all and to all in the nation under you subscribing my self From Winton Novemb. 22. 1653. Your servant and theirs in the truths of God John Brayne A Treatise of the high Rebellion of MAN against GOD in BLASPHEMY BLASPHEMY is against God as it opposeth his Soveraignty and revealed will in the Law made inglorious by it in his Attributes Or 2. as it opposeth Gods love in Christ revealed in the Gospel Jam. 2.7 1 Tim. 1.13 Or 3. as it opposeth the glory of God revealed in the operations of the Holy Spirit as in Matth. 12.24 31. Mark 3.29 30. It 's onely Blasphemy that opposeth God in his Soveraignty and Rule or will in the Law that is intended in this Treatise in that it concerns the Magistrate onely This Blasphemy is of two kindes and forbidden under two of the Commands 1. There is Blasphemy that is directly against Jehovah Elohims or the Lord God in himself which is forbidden in the first Command and opposeth his Soveraignty 2. There is Blasphemy against God in his Name that is in his authority his Power his Justice his Law his Government and this is forbidden in the third Command Under which two heads or Commands all Blasphemy that concerns the Magistrate to judge is comprehended for the Law makes no other Blasphemers but these Blasphemy is in Scripture expressed by three words 1. By 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies lightness dis-esteem or vilifying of a thing and in this is opposed to the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies weight and glory It signifies cursing and is opposed to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 blessing Gen. 27.11 which word is used to set out the evil wishes and contempt of inferiours towards the superiour in his person and rule 2. By 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whose primary signification is to bore or to make hollow a thing in which is a taking away the pith or substance of it and leaving it nothing but the rinde or bark and this word is used to set out blasphemy against the Name that is the authority the power the justice the sufficiencie of the law and government of God Both which are expressed Levit. 24.15 16. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Whatever man shall vilifie lightly esteem or dishonour his Elohims his sin shall be upon him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or shall make empty or nothing the Name the Authority or Law and Government of God shall surely die Which is a blasphemy or evil speaking committed daily among us without fear or remorse of conscience yet ye see it is such a sin that not a pecuniary mulct or bodily imprisonment inflicted on Blasphemers by Civil Sanctions if I may so call them doth suffice but certain death for which among men is no Law and so men committing it daily are not reputed transgressors So that that that is indeed blasphemy is not punished and that that is not blasphemy is punished for it not with the punishment of blasphemy according to God but such as men allow of When sure were that is blasphemy punished according to God the other horrid execrations among men would quickly be done away from among men in the land God sanctifying his own Institutions thereunto when mens prudential rules prove nothing at all effective Blasphemy against God being as he hath instituted punished would bring an awe and a fear of Himself and Name so as that men would tremble to trample his glory under foot or name him but in reverence God will be found in his own way but not in man's Man's justly deserve to be blasted because they neglect the Lord and his law God honouring those honour him when those slight him shall be lightly regarded But to the first word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and how it is used in the case of Blasphemy in the Scriptures 1. As it represents God himself in the first Command it shews that no man is to slight dishonour or vilifie Jehovah as he is Lord and King or to make light of him 1. It is committed in rejecting him with those Luke 19.14 We will not have this man to reign over us vers 27. which were to be destroyed by the Gospel as the Kings enemies 2. Or as the Israelites desired to have a King as the Gentiles Which though then God did not so severely punish it a greeing with his will thereby to set up Types to men of his Son but now to do it were more sinful 3.
