and the promise Rom. 9. 8. The children of the promise are counted for the seede we which were a farre off Zach. 6. 15. must come to build in the temple of the Lord the last house whose glory shall exceed the first Hag. 2. 10 that is the spirituall Temple not that which was reedified by Cyrus for to this came the liberality of Alexander and the kings of Egypt with many other nor the magnificence of Seleucus 2 Machab. 3. 3. a king of Asia who of his owne rents was liberall toward the materiall temple But we are called to build the spirituall Temple as it came to passe at the calling of the Gentiles how many Master builders more cunning than Vitruvius came in to lay the lively stones of this spirituall structure as Luke the Evangelist from Antioch Barnabas from Cyprus Timothy and Titus from Greece Aristarchus Aquila Dionysius Areopagita Onesiphorus Hermes with infinite more and in ages following Irenaeus Tertullian Hierom Basill Ambrose Augustine c. To come nearer to our own times what famous Luminaries and lights have shined from Belgia and other parts as Luther Calvin Oecolampadius Marlorat Bucer Bullinger In our owne times out of our owne nation our owne tribes and families reverend Fulke Whitaker Raynolds Field Willet Perkins Andrewes the late Byshop of Winchester and the present famous Doctor Hall now Bishop of Exeter all which have issued out of the darke celles of gentilisme which have brought their gold theit silver and some their lives to the building of this spirituall Temple What should this I say teach us but in tender compassion to the Iewish nation to pray heartily for their restoring since they were cut off that we might be grafted on Rom. 11. 19 they were the holy seede the first borne the first and naturall heires to the Gospell Mat. 15. 22. I am not sent but unto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel God chose them above all nations Deut. 7 6. he loved them Deut. 10. 15. Iacob was his portion Deut. 32. 8. and he hath promised though for their ingratitude he hath for a while rejected them and suffers them as Caines and vagabonds to wander without any abiding place yet in the end to call them home Zach. 12. 10. He will poure upon the house of Iacob and the inhabitants of Ierusalem the spirit of grace and supplication that is the Holy Ghost with the graces thereof and which restoring Paul proves Rom. 9. and 11. that they shall be called and acknowledge CHRIST and wisheth to be separated from CHRIST in the ardency of his love toward them so that they might be restored O pray then for the peace of Ierusalem that thy God would performe his promise in their conversion with David Psal 51. 18. Be favourable unto Sion and build the wals of Ierusalem and Paul my hearty desire for Israel is that they may be saved Let thy heart be greived then to see the horrid desolation of them as Nehemiah 1. nothing could be so pleasant unto him as the desolation of Ierusalem was greivous He is but a mercilesse Samaritane that neglects his duty and woe to him that is an enemie to Israels common wealth but let us pray for Ierusalem that prosperity may be within her wals and peace within her pallaces People that is as we formerly noted the Iewe of the stocke of Sem which God knew before all nations Amos 3 2. and thus beloved were they not in regard of themselves but of Gods free election So the difference betwixt these two seedes is not because the one embraced CHRIST and the other refused him for how can there be a refusall where the Messias was not knowne but among the Gentiles he was not so much as named Rom. 15. 20. as their owne Doctor witnesseth These Iewes were Gideons fleece which was watered when all the world beside was a barren desert the name of God the Gospell of CHRIST his love and favours were appropriated onely to the land of Iury Mat. 10. 5. Goe not into the way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritanes enter ye not They thought his providentiall care reached no farther but was limited within the narrow skirts of Palestina and onely to have a care over them as Theodorit speakes of them they were as the signet upon his right hand as the apple of his eye he that cursed them was cursed and they that blessed them were blessed nay there is no inchantment against Iacob nor divination against Israel Num. 22. 23. he set a beautifull crowne upon their heads Ezech. 16. 12. that is established the Kingdome of his grace among them Yet when they yeelded not correspondence to his word in dutifull obedience and thanksgiving it came to passe as truth it selfe had denounced against them Math. 21. 43. The kingdome of God which was their crowne and honour should be taken from them and given to a nation that should bring forth the fruites thereof Ierusalem was the city which the Lord did choose to place his name there 2 Chron. 6. 6. She was a faithfull citie Esay 1. 21. How is the faithfull city become an Harlot But departing from her former stepps crucifying the Sonne of God and killing his Saints she was rejected and cast off a voyce from heaven giving warning of her imminent rejection saying Let us depart hence And Almighty God like old Iacob layes his right hand upon the head of Ephraim the younger and his left hand upon Manasses the elder Gen. 48. 14. Now one cluster of the grapes of Ephraim are better than a whole Vintage of Abiezer Iudg. 8. 2. So now the right hand of honour is laid upon the Gentile and the Iewes degraded as the birth-right was convayed from Esau to Iacob the Priesthood translated from Abiathar to Zadock and the regall dignity from Saul to David the prodigall Gentile must have the fat calfe killed and be brought into the Kings Cellar when the Elder hath not wherewith to make merry with his friends Luke 15. 23 c. Hence this doctrine God is not tyed to any place or people If the chosen Iewes will not bring forth fruits worthy of the Gospell but despise it hee will provoke them to envie even by a people which sought him not and for sinne will remove his love and favour his word and worship and make it a free passage for the flood-gates of his wrath to their inevitable destruction and unavoydable ruine For confirmation of this truth wee need goe no further than our proposed patterne and example of this people which was a chosen Cedar among all the trees of the Forest so long as holinesse kept residence there the Cisterne into which the Fountaine of all grace powred his blessings by many Conduit-pipes and meanes but they left their first love Rev. 2. 4. cryed loud for Christs bloud to fall upon them and their children Math. 27. 25. and so
