Three Queries upon three verses of the 46th Psalm Verse 4. THere is a River the Streams whereof shall make glad the City of God the holy Place of the Tabernacles of the most High Query 1. Which is the River and what are the Streams thereof which make glad the City of God And which is the City of God which they make glad Which are the Tabernacles of the most high and which is the holy Place of those Tabernacles O my dear Country-men that every one in this Nation did understand and enjoy these thing For the Lord is ready to beget a Will to beget a Thirst in the hearts of the Children of Men And whosoever thirsteth whosoever will is called to the Waters and may come to the Waters and take of the Water of Life freely Isa 55.1 Rev. 22.17 yea to the full satisfaction of their Souls For indeed this is the Day of God's Power wherein he doth make his people willing to come to him and to abide with him the Fountain of living Waters And those that do come to him and abide with him he abundantly satisfieth with the Fatness of his House and giveth them to drink of the River of his Pleasures Psal 36.8 9. Mark God is the Fountain of living Waters with him is the Fountain of life a River of Pleasures a River whose Streams make glad the whole City even the holy Place of all the Tabernacles of the most high And he giveth his Citizens to drink of it and whoever drinketh of it it maketh them glad it refresheth their life O that more knew what this means Ver. 5. God is in the midst of her she shall not be moved God shall help her and that right early or when the Morning appeareth or from the Morning appearing Qu. 2. How is God in the midst of this City Is it not more gloriously in an inward way then ever he was in the Temple in the outward Jerusalem in an outward way How is she built How is she founded and scituated How comes it about that she shall not be moved How is God her Refuge and Strength and present help in time of Trouble After what manner doth God arise inwardly and scatter his Enemies How doth the Morning Light help her after what manner when the Enemy cometh in like a Flood doth the Spirit of the Lord lift up a standard against him Ah blessed are they that know and experience and live in the Enjoyment of these things O that this whole Nation did so Were it not worth the suffering of much the denying of much and the bearing of much Judgment to come to this Ver. 10. Be still and know that I am God I will be exalted among or in the Heathen I will be exalted in the Earth Qu. 3. What is that Stilness wherein God is known to be God not outwardly in notion but inwardly in the heart VVhat is that Silence of Mind wherein God teacheth his Israel in the new Covenant to know him as he is even all of them from the greatest to the least How will God come to be exalted in the Heathen and in the Earth Is it not by the Light of his Day breaking forth and shining in them VVhere this Day breaks forth in any heart doth it not bteak down and destroy the Kingdom of Darkness inwardly And doth not the King of glory consume the man of sin the wicked one that was exalted in the Temple before which Temple belonged of right to God with the spirit of his mouth and destroy him with the Brightness of his coming or appearing Isa 11.4 2 Thes 2.8 Then is the Day known vvherein the Lord

to be filled with his Blessings to have my Cup overflow and that others â—ay be helped refreshed and gladed therewith and by the sweet Taste thereof led to wait for the opening of the same Root and Fountain of Life in themselves to yield living Sap and send forth living Streams in them Day by Day Somewhat in the Love of God to the Jews Natural or seed of Abraham after the Flesh O the Glory of your state outward who were the people whom God once chose and loved and manifested his Power and Presence among above all People Whose Land was the Glory of all Lands to which God brought you out of Egypt by an out-stretched Arm through a dreadful VVilderness wherein ye were tempted tried and exercised and the succeeding Generation fitted to enter into O what Laws and statutes and righteous Judgments did God give you such as no Nation besides had VVhat a Temple had ye to appear before God in and the Ark of the Covenant and holy Priests Kings and Prophets And how nigh was God to you to be enquired of by you and how ready to hear your Prayers in all that you called upon him for The eternal God was thy Refuge and underneath were the everlasting Arms the Lord was thy Rock and thou wast built upon him and he did thrust out the Enemy before thee and did say Destroy And when the Arm of the Lord did destroy them before thee thou didst dwell in safety alone and the Lord was a Fountain of living waters to thee and his Heavens did drop down Fatness upon thee Happy wast thou O Israel who was like unto thee O People saved by the Lord the Shield of thy help and who was the Sword of thy Excellency And thine Enemies were sound Lyars unto thee and thou didst tread upon their high places And it might have been still so with thee hadst thou not been unmindful of the Rock that begat thee and forgotten God that formed thee For thy Glory should not have been taken from thee but swallowed up in a higher Glory wherein thou mightest have had the first and chiefest share hadst thou not by thy almost constant Rebellion and Unbelief provoked the Lord against thee not only often to afflict but at last utterly to cast thee off from being a People and chose a people in thy stead who should bring forth better Fruits to the Lord of the Vine-yard then thou in thy Day hadst done Yet when thy state was thus glorious it was not a state of the truly-substantial lasting glory but a shadowy state or representative thereof Thy day of glory was not the day of the Messiah the day of everlasting Light inwardly wherein the Lord alone is exalted inwardly in the Hearts of all in whom he bâ—eaks down all that is contrary to the Light of his Day Thy Day was but the day of the outward shadows of the heavenly substance but when that day the day of the inward substance and glory shined thy shadows or shadowy state was to fly away and to be swallowed up in the pure substance and spiritual Kingdom of the Messiah Thy birth from Abraham after the Flesh was not the birth which was to inherit the Promise in the Kingdom of the Messiah but there is a birth inwatdly born of the Spirit born after Abraham in his Faith who travels inwardly as Abraham did outwardly and seek an inward Country City whose builder and maker is God To these the spiritual Kingdom and Promises belong Thy circumcision was but the circumcision outward the circumcision of the Flesh it was not the circumcision of the Heart That iâ— the circumcision of the inward Jew which indeed the Scripture call'd for from you because there was somewhat near you which wold have so circumcised you had ye hearkned and given up to it but ye as a people were not so circumcised but were a stiffnecked people as Moses and the Prophets were still complaining of you uncircumcised in Heart and Ears resisting God's Spirit both in your own Hearts and in the Prophets until the Lord was provoked to take away both Vision and Prophet from you The Aegypt in which your Fathers were in bondage and Pharaoh who oppressed them was but the Aegypt outward and Pharaoh outward There is an inward Aegypt wherein the spiritual seed the inward man the soul is in Bondage and there is a spiritual Pharaoh that oppresseth the spiritual seed in spiritual Aegypt And there is a stretching out the Arm of the Almighty inwardly to break the strength of the inward Pharaoh to pierce Leviathan the crooked Serpent and to deliver the soul from under his captivity The Wilderness also your Fathers were led through was but the outward Wilderness where they were tempted tried by the Lord many wayes that he might do them good in the latter end But the inward Israel after they are led out of the inward Egypt are tried in the inward wilderness where they are judged after the flesh and that wasted in them which is not to enter into inherit the good land where they are tried in the furnace of affliction their filth purged away by the spirit of judgment burning that the righteous nation which hath received the holy inward law keeps the Truth may enter into the good land city and kingdom of the Messiah and inherit the blessed promises of life and salvaton there Moses your great Prophet was a Type of the great lasting standing Prophet whom God would raise up like unto Moses who was to give his inward law as Moses did the outward and to lead all the spiritual Israel as Moses did the outward Israel and his Word was to be heard stand in all things whatsoever he shall say unto his People and whosoever will not hear and obey this Prophet shall be cut off from among the holy spiritual and inwardly living People Joshuah who succeeded Moses led but into he figurative Rest he was but a Figure of him that inwardly leads into the inwad and spiritual Rest which the true Jews which are inwardly created and formed by God and made a willing People in the day of his Power enter into The Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire in the Wilderness were but Figures of the spiritual Pillar of Cloud and Fire by which the spiritual Israel are led and defended in the glorious gospel-day of God's spirit and power read Isa ch 4 which speaketh of the gospel-day and the Pillar of Cloud and Fire to be created therein and of the defence which is to be on all the inward and spiritual glory The Land of Canaan the outward good Land anâ— Kingdom of Israel was but a Figure of the inward Land and Kingdom of the inward Israel in the dayes of the Messiah This is the Land of Judah in which the Song is sung because of the inward strong City where God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks which the righteous nation which keepeth the Truth
