Type for the Spiritual Intent makes the Argument and Sense compleat And therefore I advise the Interpreter to look after that Gen. 14.1 2 3. for any thing I know a Type of the Four Monarchies we are sure Melchisedeck is a Type and also Gen. 23.3 4 5 6. for in both these places 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is between respective Propositions I shall conclude with this Caution That we must not conclude there is no Type where 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is not so placed For then all the Book of Leviticus must have been so Pointed but only where it comes in unexpectedly the general Intent being Historical or Doctrinal I shall yet add one more We may give beyond Promise but not punish beyond Threatning I will declare the Decree the Lord hath said to me Thou art my Son this Day have I begotten thee Ps 2.7 The Question is If this be the Eternal Generation of the Son from the Fathers Essence per modum cogitandi says one Seipsum modificandi says another Or the Temporal of his Mother the Virgin and with which of these Quotations the New will agree best Now I think there is a Third Son-ship to be proposed viz. A peculiar supereminent Son-ship of the Humane Nature by Virtue of its incomparable and ineffable Union with the Divine Nature If a Beggar Marry a King's Daughter he is the King's Son Nearness to God is the Foundation of highest Dignity this puts a value on his Blood to be a Price sufficient Now this Text says it is a Name and Generation by Statute and Decree so an Eternal necessary Generation is not Secondly The Psalmist refers to some peculiar Famous Day wherein this was or was exhibited for begetting this Day seems to be an execution of what was before Decreed Now Gen. 3.8 There is a most famous Day wherein a Voice or Word of the Lord walking in the Garden in the Morning of that Day read for cool of the day Now that was the Seventh the first Sabbath wherein the Promise of that Seed which was so Eminent by virtue of this Son-ship was Promised and by Praeludium appeared with the Message i. e. The Divine Nature exerting his Office Thirdly Prov. 8.22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way The first Week is that which bears the Name of beginning Fourthly Heb. 1.5.6 Where it is quoted says the Time when he got this Name was when he bringeth the first begotten into the World 2. A Son-ship by Promise 2 Sam. 7. Wherein He excels the Angels D. G. Thinks the whole Intent of this Chapter is to prefer Christ to Angels but not as God what Jew would equal GOD and an Angel but as Man by virture of his Personal Dignities through that Union to God which was nearer than theirs Fifthly Heb. 5 5 8. A Son-ship by Calling 2. A Son-ship by which God glorified Him 3. A Son-ship wherein He learn'd Obedience and Suffered 4. A Son-ship to found a Priest-hood Sixthly Acts 13.13 This is said to be fulfilled in his Resurrection Now 1. His Resurrection was necessary on the account of his Son-ship it was inconsistent with his Dignity to be long dead Psal 16.10 Such an holy one ver 35. could not feel corruption I may add That though his Resurrection and first Introduction into the World were not the same Day of the Week the one being first the other the seventh yet they agreed in his being Foundation of both and in the Solemnity and Significancy of both hence that we have a sweet Harmony in the Quotations 2. A just ground for calling the Union betwixt the Humane Nature and Divine Personal or next to Union of Nature for I believe Angels comprehend it not so nigh it is There remains yet two more Uses of these Points First Their Elentick Vse they fit one to be a good Disputant The Papists were not able to stand before the Protestants at the first Reformation because of their Promptitude and Readiness in Scripture neither is now a Learned Scholar otherwise able to deal with a Country Farmer who is very Conversant in his Bible I have seen a Master of Arts and then my own Master baffled by a Shepherd and another by a Thresher And how much less is one Ignorant of the Original able to Dispute with them that are for that is the Rule that is the Canon that is our Bible It 's rare to find a Verse where all Translations agree and what Priviledge can we claim for ours above others but that it agrees more with the Original and that he who is Ignorant cannot Judge I may add That he who is skilled in the Original and other Daughters of that Tongue Rabbin Syrian Chaldean Arabian c. and wants this part of Grammar or Key of Scripture-Sense is not able to Expound Scripture nor Dispute from Scripture on a Divine Subject with him that is I have occasion to experience this by a Gentleman whose Superiour in these Languages I doubt if Europe can afford that is my kind and near Neighbour How soon is a Boy baffled at School when you tell him he does not Construe right he does not Parse right He is Silenced for he is Conscious that then he cannot make True English But on the other hand thou must have other Parts of Grammar as well as this It were a foolish Method to begin a Child with the Syntactical Part of Grammar before he can Conjugate a Verb or Decline a Noun To initiate a Boy with Flowers and Figures of Rhetorick to Teach him the Logical Analysis of Speeches before he is acquainted with the Common Style of the Language or before he knows the Ingredient Parts of Speech I shall add here That this doth not only prepare a Student to carry the empty Air of Victory in an Eristick Contention As good Skill and Promptitude in Logick will enable a mean Scholar to do from a great Master and Learned Divine I have known them come off from the Publick Palestria with Triumphal Hums that understood neither their Thesis nor their Arguments nor the true Use of Logick But to Stablish and Settle his own Faith once believing this Book is God's that his Creator and Governour who has the Disposal of his Immortal Soul and Temporal Affairs too at his Pleasure has communicated his Will towards Sinners in this Book how they may be Happy notwithstanding that otherwise insuperable Difficulty that lies Latent in a Natural Conscience will the God that needs me not will the God whose Patience and Goodness I have abused whose Talents I have misimproved whom I have Offended and Contemned every Day I have lived make me Happy hugg in his Favour assoon as I have done Breathing By this thou mayest be as much Convinced of the Author's Sense and Intention in this Book as its Divine Characters whereof may be this is no small part will Convince thee who the Author is what depth of Wisdom he had and what Ocean of Love and
