and for release and liberty to Servants and Bondmen as it were a year of rest Levit. 25.3 4 5 6. Exod. 21.2 3 4 5 6. so it Typed out the Rest and release from Labour and Sorrow to be brought in by Christ as before But as it was a year of Release for Servants so it Typed out the Liberty to be brought in by Christ from Sin Satan and the Paedagogy of the Law procured by his Death and offered in the preaching of the Gospel and to be effected by the Spirit of God in the belief thereof But as there he that accepted of it had and enjoyed it but he that said Nay he loved his old Master better and so would not go out from him he was to be brought to the door and his Master was to bore his Ear through with an Awl and he was to serve him for ever So here he that embraces the Grace of God in Christ in the accepted time and day of Salvation he shall be set free but he that refusing it prefers the service of Sin Satan and Mosaical Law above it shall be given over to serve and perish in his corruptions and legal bondage 4. The like was Typified but more fully in the great Sabbatical Year or Year of Jubile when on the day of Atonement the Trumpet of the Jubile was to be sounded through all the Land and they were to proclaim liberty through all the land to all the Inhabitants thereof and every man was to return to his possession and every man to his Family Le● 25.8 9 10 11 c. for therein was prefigured 1. The general Release of Men from Thraldom to Curse and Wrath to which in Adam they were sold and by their own actual sins were further imbondaged many of them procured 〈◊〉 the Sacrifice of Christ and the Ato●ment thereby made and proclaimed 〈◊〉 the Gospel which like the Jubilee Trumpet Isa 61.1 2. being founded proclaims the acceptable year of the Lord the day of the vengeance of our God even the vengeance executed upon Christ or upon out enemies by Christ to comfort all that mourn Blessed are the people that know mind own and so take hold of and prove that joyfull sound they shall walk in the light of God's countenance c.

The general restitution of all things spoken of by the Prophets Acts 3.20 21. Rom. 8.19 20 21 22. when the Creature it self shall be delivered from the bondage of Corruption into the liberty of the Glory of the Sons of God at the ●d Great day of Christ's appearing all which are signified to be the effects of the Atoning Sacrifice of Christ in that that Jubilee Trumpet was to be sounded and the said Liberty Release and Restitution proclaimed on the day of Expiation or Atonement 2. They had also divers Feasts appointed them Monthly and Yearly as 1. They had Monthly New Moons which appear to have been Festivals 1 Sam. 20.5 times appointed for Sacrificing and gladness and for the blowing of Trumpets over their Sacrifices Numb 10.10 Psal 81.1 2 3. 2 Cor. 5.17 Typifying the renovation of the creature in and by Christ through his vertuous Sacrifice He that is in Christ is a new creature old things are passed away behold all things are become new as also the Reformation and change of Worship to be brought in by him in the faith of which they were to blow their Trumpets and sing aloud to him with Thanksgiving thereby also figuring the joy and gladness the renovation made by Christ should bring in Psal 40.1 2 3 4. Rev. 14.1 2 3. Heb. 9 9 10 11 12. Yearly Festivals were their Feast of Passover First-fruits and Tabernacles in which besides the Rests required in them by vertue of which they were also Sabbaths some days be●nging to them and the abundance of ●crifices then to be offered which appertained to the Ordinance of Sacrificing they did solemnly appear and feast before the Lord rejoycing in the abundance of his goodness Prov. 9.12.3 4 5 6. Matth. 22.12 3 4. Isa 25.6 Joh. 4.14 6.35 48 51 55 c. and in the remembrance of the great things he had done for them providing for and feasting their poor Brethren also with them Neh. 8.10 11. Exod. 23.14 15 16. Levit. 23. which in general led them to behold by Faith the abundance of the Grace to be procured and brought in by Christ the Feast of Fat things full of Marrow to be made in Christ for all People For Christ is himself the Feast or matter of it the meat indeed and the drink indeed which whosoever eateth shall find satisfaction in so as not to hunger after other dainties and whoso drinks of shall not thirst for ever after other Waters Yea they might mind them of the great joy and delight to be brought in by his Incarnation or making his Tabernacle amongst us his sufferings for us and pouring down of his Spirit upon us but more fully at the harvest and full income of all the promises when the Tabernacle of God shall be with men for ever Rev. 21.4.5 so that these also had their foundation in Christ and poined at Christ to come 3. Besides which they had also other Ordinances yet under the Tabernacle and Temple and pertaining thereto pointing out Christ Levit. 12. 13. 14. 15. in which they were to exercise themselves till his actual appe●ting as diverse Washings and Puri●●ons cleansings from uncleanness Heb. 9.12 13 14. as issues Leprosies c. all Typing out the cleansing away of our Sins by the Bloud and Spirit of Christ especially that Num. 10. of the ashes of the red Heifer is most significant For there God appointed that a red Heifer should be burnt and the ashes of it preserved and laid up in a clean place and then to be mixed with clean Water and by a clean Person with Hyssop to be sprinkled upon the unclean for the cleansing of him c. which Water and way of Purification was prepared for all the Congregation yet so as he that refused to be cleansed thereby was to remain in his unclearness and to be cut off from the Congregation vers 9.20 21. and evident Type and instruction that in and by Christ his sufferings and

left to take offence at him and persisting therein against all light and warnings run himself into Perdition So God having purposed that those who when the Grace of God comes to them bringing Salvation to them do still remain ungodly and turn it into wantonness shall as a Punishment and fruit of that their Wickedness be given over to oppose the Truth and exercise the Saints thereby it follows as included therein That Hymeneus and Philetus or any the like particular so doing was therein fore-written to that Judgment or Condemnation of so opposing themselves against the Truth c. Even as God ordaining That it should rain Mannah six days and not the seventh on the Camp of Israel in the Wilderness and that whoever should go out and gather on the six days should find enough and on the sixth day enough for that and the seventh day but on the seventh day none it followed That this or that Person neglecting to gather on the sixth day for Two days and going 〈◊〉 gather on the seventh should then b● vertue of that general Ordination fin● none And all these purposes as to particular persons are respective purposes an● after a sort Conditional not absolute● determining and necessitating either th● Faith and Salvation of this or that Ma● precisely or as a Man or Sinner simply considered nor the disobedience unbelief or condemnation of this or that man as so precisesly or simply as a man or a● a Man fallen in Adam considered but they respect Gal. 2.15 16. Act. 15.11 4.11 12. or take in this or that Man as under such a condition or in such a way as to which God hath generally appointed such Ends or Issues So as if Peter or Paul had not Believed they had not been Saved by force of any other precise purpose of God toward them as Personally considered Psal 109.4 5. with Act. 1.16 17 18. that in ver 25. To go to his own place respects not Judas but the Apostle to be chosen Act. 16.31 Joh. 6.40 3.14 15. And if Judas had obeyed Christ and timely put away his Covetousness he had not taken Offence and stumbled at Christ and run himself into Perdition by force of any precise purpose of God ordaining him as a Man precisely considered so to have done And upon this account it may be said to any man If thou wilt Believe on the Son of God thou shalt be Saved not as representing therein the Believing as a mark and token That God fore purposed such a Man's Salvation precisely considered as that particular Man but as representing the Believing in Christ as the way in which and condition unto which he hath absolutely purposed Joh. 8.24 Ezek. 33.11 1 Tim. 2.4 2 Pet. 3.9 Act. 4.11 12. 1 Joh. 5.11 12. and promised his Salvation And upon the like account it may be said unto any man If thou wilt not Believe on the Son of God thou shalt Perish not as thereby signifying That such a Man 's not Believing springs from and is a token of God's precise purpose to Destroy such a Man as that Man personally considered but because of the General purpose of God and to signifie the firmness thereof That God will Save no man out of Christ but to Destroy those that wilfully Reject and Rebel against him And this apprehension of God's purposes of Salvation and Damnation to particular Men as included in and springing from his General purposes and respecting men as beheld or considered in such conditions agrees well with the renour of the Gospel which saith Joh. 3.16 God so loved the world that he gave his onely begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life And not That God gave his onely Son that whosoever should have Everlasting Life viz. by force of some fore purpose pricisely and irrespectively Decreeing such particular persons to it should Believe in him and so attain it as some make the Gospel to speak making that Phrase whosoever believe nothing but a Collection of the several persons fore-appointed absolutely to Life and their Faith onely an evidence of their being so fore-appointed and not any general inducement to All to Believe or significatio● of any desire on God's part that they should believe and be Saved SECT 3. That the Great differences between the Remonstrants and Contra Remonstrants spring from their different Apprehensions about God's purposes of Salvation and Damnation to particular persons what be their Apprehensions UPon this Hinge hangs all the Controversie between the Remonstrants and Contra-remonstrants even upon their Conceptions of God's purposes Joh. 3.17 1 Tim. 2.4 5 6. 2 Cor. 5.14 15. Rom. 5.12 18. 1 Pet. 1.20 21. with 1 Tim. 4.10 2 Cor. 5.11 Prov. 1.20.21 8.1 2 3 4 5 31 32 33. 9 1-7 Rom. 2.4 5. 1 Joh. 5.11 12. Act. 10.34 about Mens Final Estates For the Remonstrants conceive and believe That God purposed according as he hath declared he hath done to send his Son into the World to be the Saviour of the World to Dye for all Men and to Ransome them all thereby from the State of Misery and Perdition that he fore-see they would come into in Adam and through Sufferings to glorifie him to be the Saviour of All giving Man-kind in general Eternal Life in him and to afford such means to them through him as he pleas'd for their calling back to him and leading them to Repentance● and that any one Believing in him through the means afforded and by his Grace therein and therewith given should live by him and that any one finally rejecting him should perish Rom. 2.11 16. 2 Cor. 5.10 Not purposing this or that mans salvation or damnation that have the means of grace and capacity to use them or seek God in them but as rewards of their works respectively or of their entertainment or rejection of that grace afforded them that is as they should through grace afforded believe in and obey him or reject the grace afforded not believing or obeying him The contrary Monster on the other side conceive that God absolutely and peremptorily purposed that certain particular persons should have Eternal Life and Glory considered as men simply or as fallen men and that the rest of men particularly and personally considered should be lest to sin and perish and no such grace should be afforded to them as should be sufficient for their salvation And accordingly that he purposed to give Christ to dye as some say only for those particular persons fore-purposed to Glory and not for the rest and that those particular persons should by and through him be brought infallibly and irresistibly to believe and be preserved in believing and brought to glory or as others say that Christ should dye for all men to ransom them into his own dispose but not intentionally that all might be saved by him but only that those should absolutely and inevitably be saved to whom he
