so far as it was of moral Equity it ought to be observed in Christian States and Caeteris paribus and Consideratis Considerandis is of Excellent use to all Lawgivers and Judges to the end of the world for that People were under a Theocrasy and their judicial Laws were of divine legislation for the most part If any were otherwise they had at least divine approbation The moral law is all of it of everlasting equity and amiableness as we have shewed as Holy Righteous and Good in Paul's time as in Moses's time Rom. 7.12 And in our times as in Moses's or Pauls For till heaven and earth pass one jot or title of the law shall in no wise pass Math. 5.18 The Assemblies reflection on this text is How much more needful is this Doctrine when men would make all the law void and not obligatory to believers Its Historys are our Examples either of imitation or caution 1 Cor. 10. Now these things were our Examples that is saith the English Annotations God set the punishment of those Israelites as a glass or image before us that we in them might see what we may expect if we sin as they did In the following verses the Apostle dehorts from Idolatry ●ornication Tempting Christ and the sin of Murmuring from ●●amples of caution written of old But saith the Apostle they were written for our Admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come v. 11 So Heb. 3.19 compared with Heb. 4.1 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief Let us therefore ●●ar c. So Esau's Example of selling his birth right for one morsel is urged by way of caution Heb. 12.16 We have also Examples of Imitation taken out of the Old Testament improv'd in the New So in Heb. 11. The Examples of Antediluvian Patriarchs and Postdiluvian Patriarchs and Kings Priests and Prophets Judges and Military Commanders all famous for Exploits of Faith Worship and Obedience are set before Christians for Imitation And the Apostle argues from them Heb. 12.1 That Cloud of Witnesses are to be followed by Christians as the Cloud was followed by the Israelites in the Wilderness So Peter urgeth the Example of holy Women of old and of Sarah in Particular for to teach Christian Women Subjection to their Husbands Conjugal Chastity and Modesty of Apparel So Abrahams faith and his justification by it is set forth for an Example to Christians for their imitation Rom. 4.4 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him but for us also to whom it shall be imputed if we believe The like may be said of Promises and Threatnings which are found Originally in the Old Testament but improved in the New Testament Of Promises some that seem National others Personal are by way of Analogy transferred to Christian People as if they had been made nextly and directly to them So Eph. 6.1 2. The Apostle Exhorting Christian Children to obey honour their Parents urgeth them to this duty 1. By the Intrinsical Goodness and Immutable and Eternal Equity is in what he Exhorts them to Children obey your Parents in the Lord for this is right 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Just 2. By the Authority of the fifth Commandment 3. By the Promise annexed for this is the first Commandment with promise i. e. the first of the Second Table for the second Command hath promise annexed to it Showing mercy to thousands viz. of Generations of them that love me and keep my Commandments i. e. Ordinances and Institutions means of Worship free from Superstition mens Inventions and Will worship When the Apostle saith the first Command with promise he refers to those words that thy days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee Which words in their next intention are directed to Jewish Children and mean a long and happy life in the Land of Canaan but the Apostle writing to the Children of the Church at Ephesus that had nothing to do with the Land of Canaan alters the words by Analogy and makes the promise run that it may be well with thee and that thou mayst live long upon the Earth So the promise made nextly to Joshua Josh 1.5 I will never leave thee nor forsake thee is by way of Analogical Accommodation transferred to Christians Heb. 13.5 So Davids confident conclusion Psal 118.6 The Lord is on my side I will not fear What can man do unto me is drawn into argumentation Heb. 13.6 And the words that Solomon sp●ke to his Son Prov. 3.11 is said to speak to the Christian Hebrews Heb. 12.5 Ye have forgotten the Exhortation or that consolatory Exhortation which speaketh unto you as Children My Son dispise not thou the Chastening of the Lord. Of Threatnings also applied by Analogy Heb. 4.7.9 11. I shall on this head only further show that Prophesies in the Old Testament are of use to Christians they help us in the belief of New-Testament Prophesies many of them being already accomplisht others also of them agree with Those in the Revelation and illustrate one another as the Text and the interpretation So also 2 Pet. 3.13 We according to his promise look for New Heavens and a New Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness and many Prophesies in the Old Testament that flourish in expressions literally expressing temporal felicity yet were intended as Prophetick Types of Spiritual Blessings under the Messias And they had some kind of accomplishment in Temporal Deliverances Peace Plenty c. before the Coming of Christ but were more fully accomplisht in Spiritual Redemption and the Spiritual Priviledges Benefits and Graces Enjoy'd in the Churches of Christ If we consider what cognation there is between History and Prophesy it will not seem strange For Prophesie is History antedated and History is Postdated Prophesie the same thing is told in both If therefore the History of the Old Testament is Example to us and instructive to us so must needs be Prophesy And many things in the Old Testament are first set forth in Prophesy and afterward in History either of them yea both of them beneficial to the Church Besides Prophesies for the most part contain Promises or Threatnings in them And therefore if Old-Testament Promises and Threatnings are of use and may be by way of accommodation applied to us so may the Prophesies also I have insisted the larger on the foregoing head not only to show how genuine the Doctrines raised from the Text are and to strengthen the foundation on which I build the Superstructure of the Application I further intend but to vindicate the just Reputation of the Sacred Scriptures of the Old Testament from the indignity done them by those that speak of them as of things formerly useful but now antiquated and out of date as also for the benefit of those that esteem them by way of Direction how to use them that the Old and New-Testament may be used by us as two breasts of Sacred

To all that be in Rome beloved of God called to be Saints 1 Cor. 1.2 To the Church of God c. called to be Saints You ought to be Holy in all manner of Conversation yea to perfect holiness in the fear of God to be blameless and harmless and to shine as lights in this evil Generation and by your Example to shew others the Amiableness of the ways of holiness and righteousness and by your extensive Charity be ready to entertain into your holy Fellowship such whose hearts God shall prepare and incline to seek it Let the Church of God be swept and kept clean by the besome of Discipline Let the hearts and hands of your Ministers be incouraged in the work of the Lord Let the Elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour especially they that labour in the word and doctrine Obey them that have the rule over you and submit your selves for they watch for your Souls Keep the Worship and Ordinances of God pure from humane inventions as well as from prophaneness And let the Church be built up in the most Holy Faith and be a pillar of Truth and not removed from her Stedfastness Walk in your Houses in a perfect way bringing up your Children in the Nurture and admonition of the Lord.
