In the second is Gods chusing Christ and his seed according to the Spirit by regeneration g to glorifie his Name in the world h Christ being in this Dispensation or Testament the root and his people the branches VII a In the first Testament or Dispensation God gave Circumcision for a signe of the Messias to come of that line b to fulfil the whole Law of God in doing and suffering whatsoever was required of man c The which Circumcision and all the Mosaical sacrifices did imply d And though called the Testament of the Law yet was under the Covenant of Grace e and onely a Schoolmaster VIII a Christ was as man onely capable of suffering and by his passion did redeem every man that is the whole nature of man from the guilt c of Adams sin d which was imputed to him being found in our nature e So that by his suffering he satisfied the justice of God in bearing the curse due to man f for Adams breach of the Law of works and not otherwise IX Christ could not suffer for the actual transgressions of any individual man since Adam's fall as may farther appear 1. a Because himself could not transgress b but bare the curse due for the breach of the Law committed by Adam c and thereby impressed on man's nature d of which Christ himself was 2. a Because man was not under the Law of works for life after Christ was promised b any otherwise then as a Testament shewing c what was to be performed by Christ By d which it appeareth that man could transgress onely against the Covenant of Grace since Adam e which Christ fulfill'd actually for believers onely f and so his suffering was onely for the Law of Works broken by Adam's transgression as hath been proved Object 1. Whereas it is asserted that Christ could not suffer for the actual transgression of any man since Adam's fall 't is contradictory to the Scripture and therefore to be rejected Answ 1. For answer the Scripture contradicteth it not as may appear for that of Isa 53.6 and 1 Pet. 2.24 say Christ bare the iniquities of us all which is done for first a the disobedience of Adam was the disobedience or iniquities whereof all mankinde was thenceforth guilty b because they in him thereby brake the whole Law of God c Secondly this Christ bare and so bare the inquities of us all that being ours but d because he was the Lambe without spot it must be onely imputatively And was made a curse because he was e found in the nature whereon the curse lay Answ 2. The other Scriptures say The blood of Christ cleanseth us from all sin By which words recited and the cohaerence of them is demonstrated the a application of Christ's death unto his by faith and that two wayes first b by perswading the soul of the c sufficiency and reality of his death in satisfaction of Gods justice so the guilt of sin is done away from the conscience and it reconciled to God thereby Secondly d the efficiency of his blood applied by faith doth unite them to Christ thereby cleansing their consciences e from the filth pollution and power of sin by the power of Christ in the Covenant of Grace made in him who is made unto his f wisdom righteousness sanctification and redemption who by g beholding him as in a glass are transformed into the same image from glory to glory Object 2. Whereas in the ighth Section 't is averred that Christ died for all 't is objected That Christ * prayed not for the world and consequently 't is not imaginable he would spill his blood or the●● for whom he would not spend his breath Answ 1. 'T is answered that Christ's prayer in this chapter consisteth of four parts or branches 1. For Himself 2. For the Apostles and for them by way of eminency and so not for any other as to their present great work 3. For them that should believe on him through their words 4. For the world and for them that they might have a faith and b knowledge that God sent Christ And for them he prayeth twice and also teacheth that this knowledge c is life eternal d And for all that the world may know he prayeth that they may know the truth of which assuredly they e shall know if not whilst it is yet to day yet when the Son of Man cometh with his Angels In the m an time this knowledge f is to be taught them Answ 2. a Whatsoever was written aforetime was written for our learning whence it follows b that 't is the declared will of God that his people should pray for all Unto which duty are urged in one place five motives 1. Because 't is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour 2. Because God our Saviour would have all men to be saved 3. Because there is one God and one Mediator who are one 4. Because they were all purchased by him 5. Because the justice of God may be cleered by his seasonable testifying his love though all men abuse it X. a In the second Dispensation or Testament God gave baptism to discover Christ and to be b the sign of the choice of his seed c by regeneration through faith They being the branches d of that root which was e the fulfiller of all righteousness who were made righteous onely by f imputation of that righteousness which he fulfilled in himself through his union with the Father And so Baptism is the sign and Regeneration the substance of the New Testament XI So that Circumcision is not a Type of Baptism as generally hath been taught but a sign of God's choice of Abraham and his Seed after the flesh to bear his Name in the World and Baptism also a sign of Christ and of Gods choice of his Seed by Regeneration to honour him in this Testament The blood in the first dispensation signifying Christ's humanity the water in the later his divinity XII The two natures of Christ are farther manifested by his three-fold Office First as King he is King as man or in his humane Nature a over the kingdomes of the World in b Righteousness typified by c David was also called the d King of the Jews and so is said to rule the Nations with a e rod of iron Secondly He is King as God or in his divine Nature a King of Saints King b of Peace typified by c Melchisedeck ruling in the d hearts of his people by his Spirit and so his e kingdom is not of this World and therefore not govern'd by f Worldly force or power XIII Secondly as Priest he is a Priest as man or in his humane Nature wherein he suffered typified in the sacrifices under the Priest-hood of Aaron 2. In his divine Nature so he is a living Priest ever making intercession for his typified by the Priesthood of Melchisedech by interposing his righteousness Which is farther evident for that the Spirit of God maketh intercession

Emmanuel manifested OR The two NATURES OF CHRIST Clearly distinguished In their ACTS and EFFECTS Wherein is briefly discovered the means and manner of Man's Restoration and the Reasons of the various Dispensations of God before Christ since With A Description of the difference betwixt the Doctrines and Discipline of Christ and that of Antichrist By.

An EPISTLE To the Reader Reader IF thy faith retaineth Virginity and is not violated by believing because the Church believeth nor on the other hand beguiled with empty vaine flattering conceptions superficial and irregular principles and notions such as exclude the written rule it is not doubted that thou wilt prejudge the series here discussed by the Frontispiece or Index and so be deterred from reading trying and waighing It is hard to determine whether the weak head that treasures up all yellow metals in stead of and reputes it Gold or the carelessly disdaineful hand that seeing the former mistaken rejecteth gold supposing it brass without tryal be most culpable We all confess the Gospel to be truth and all men liars let no man then think of men above what is written for though all men must acknowledge themselves to be short know in part yet most men endevaour to withhold others from transcending themselves which is and hath bin observable in the gradual dawnings of the truth such thickets do especially exercise the eyes and understanding of him that traveleth toward the good Land the professed opposers their hearts or affections I thought good to premonish hee of both that with the wise builder thou mayest fore cast thy costs when thou losest consider 't is usual with travelers moreover has what thou losest beares no proportion with the most excellent things thou daily gainest Consult not therefore with flesh and bloud that 't is easiest swimming with the streame for they will with Peter tell thy spirit Master 't is good for us to be here or with Pharaoh You may worship in Aegypt or go not far away but Christ calls the first Sathan and God by Moses calls the other the house of bondage When thou beginnest thy Journey thou wilt as hardly forget the flesh-pots as the weaned child the breast yet this the child must do so become a man Content not thy self that thou readest and in general tearmes professest the doctrine practice of the Apostles if thou follow not Christ in the regeneration and all truth for his sake and for that 't is the fame with thy new nature To know truth from error is peculiar to the children of the day Christ from Antichrist to the Martyrs witnesses redeemed of the Lord Jesus the voice of the true shepherd from strangers to the sheep No marvel then if the form carcase shadow of truth like a magnificent Image be adorned with curious carving engraven with acute wits painted with deceivableness of unrighteousness cloathed with the sterne lookes of worldly authority and dignities deckt with silver Gold and pearls enricht with the merchandise of slaves and souls of men before whom vain glorious trumpets and all sort of musick eccho and are disported no marvel I say that we see such throngs of worshippers on the face of the earth nothing is wanting to them why then should not the town go on to be built Promises of priviledges of all sorts to as many as will fall down and worship and receive the mark contrariwise they shall not buy or sell Gutta cavat Lapidem continued drops we are a stone Now trust men and multitudes no longer without Tryal lest the light they shew be a Parelii or mock-sun take not thy highth by it lest thou meet with contradictions for assuredly if thy compass be not rightly touch'd thou wilt mistake thy course meet with rocks perilous shores But if thy heart be upright and willing to be taught of God the great Load-stone drawes infallibly true irresistibly strong making apparent difference between God and Mammon the wisdome from above and that which is from beneath the doctrine and discipline of Christ and that of antichrist realities and resemblances The whole discourse is very brief the concurrence of Scripture answereth the same on every leafe which have the words of many written to save the paines as much as might be of turning to them which may be better imployed in considering comparing and commenting in thy serious and judicious thoughts and mind on the whole Tract as well the form and matter as how 't is proved Which course I was induced unto from my observation of many excellent works which notwithstanding do paraphrase in most texts on that part conducing to the interest or imagination of the compiler and in a sort impose their sence on the reader more like Criticks then Christians concealing and waving that other part which makes against it I have therefore endeavoured to bring all to a faire impartial tryal hoping that haveing to do with the understanding part of man this may be a call to many no farther to precipitate themselves Ignorantly into the snare of the fowler Also an invitation to such whom the mercy of God hath in some measure freed to enquire how farre that so they may not think they have answered the will of God when having a Jubilee from the Egyptian servitude will travel no further then the wilderness and lastly that it may be an exercitation to the wise to proceed and contribute their abilities for enlightening of their generation which hath bin the character and imployment of the people of God in all ages Wisdom is justified of her children Wherefore that thou good reader and those who now despise her may so know wisdome as to justifie it hath bin the thing endeavoured in this brief discourse and shall be the Prayer of Thine in the service of the Lord Jesus Ambrose Clappe AN ADVERTISEMENT To the READER WHereas in the seaventh sect and second part of the ninth 't is said man was not under the Covenant of works for life since Adam and that in Jer. 33.31 and Heb. 10.16 is mention made of two Covenants whence lest any should suppose the Jews were under a Covenant of works for eternal life it must be considered that Gods Covenant made with Israel at their coming out of Egypt required outward acts of obedience thereunto also were annexed divers promises of outward Temporal Blessings as the Land of Canaan c. And contrariwise on disobedience threatenings of temporal Judgements the end whereof was to manifest Gods chusing them from all Nations according to the promise made to Abraham To shew his name and will in and by them what man lost by the fall to Typifie Christ the promised seed and shew what was
