People they were and why God upon the account of this their relation to Lot and Abraham and their wonderful Original did take care of them and expresly commanded the Children of Israel that in destroying the other Nations they should spare these All which we pass by to avoid prolixity And as for Lot who was the third Person that was an instrument of implanting the Sodomites into Abraham was not he himself two several ways ingrafted in and united with Abraham viz. First by his Birth as being his Brothers Son and then again when Abraham with the hazard of his own Life delivered him together with all the Inhabitants of Sodom out of the hand of their Enemies 10 Q. How the Philistines became ingrafted into Abraham may not this be easily gathered from the 20 Chapter of Genesis as being most expresly hinted throughout that whole Chapter from the beginning to the end which the inquisitive Reader may be pleased to turn to and read over well weighing and considering the several passages of it viz. how Sarah became spiritually impregnated by Abimelech the Father of Kings according to the signification of that name in the Hebrew and how all the Births of his House and of his whole Kingdom entred into her which may it not be inferred from hence For that all the wombs of Abimelech's house were shut up by the Lord for Sarah Abrahams wife's sake Which afterwards were opened again upon Abraham's Prayer and so were healed and restored by the fruitful and proliferous intercession of Abraham with whom they were already spiritually united This I leave to the understanding Readers own consideration 11 Q. Do not we likewise find a plain Argument and Evidence for proof of the Revolution of Souls in the History of Dinah Gen. 34. For can any firmer or surer union and alliance of two different People be imagined than was that which was entered upon and concluded betwixt Jacob and his Sons on the one side and Hamor and his Son Sichem and all the People of the Land on the other side as being ratified by the strong and indissoluble tie of Matrimonial Union And seeing that this high and weighty undertaking which was carried on with so much earnestness and concern did to outward appearance come to nothing What may we therefore suppose was the cause why the Divine Wisdom ordered the same to be so exactly and carefully set down in writing without omitting of the least circumstance thereto belonging if there were not some exceeding great Mystery hidden in Spirit under this History And what can this Mystery be else but the spiritual union transplantation and ingrafting of this People by means of a conjugal band and the slaughter which followed thereupon into the Tribes of the Children of Israel especially those of Simeon and Levi who had already in their wrath Prophesied and said That they would be United and become one People in case they would be Circumcised and who killed them and took all their Goods Children and Wives to themselves For that a peculiar providence of God did superintend this whole affair and directed all to an end sutable and comporting with the Divine Wisdom and Designe is not this clear from hence that God caused a fear and terrour to fall upon the inhabitants of the land so that they did not pursue after Jacob and his sons as we see Gen. 35. 5. 12 Q. And are not some other passages concerning Jacob and his Sons well worth our consideration with referrence to his Hypothesis As that concerning Judah who was the fourth Son of Jacob by Leah of whose Tribe Jesus was born how he raised the seed of both his Sons in his Daughter-in-Law Thamar concerning which mention hath been made already 13 Q. And is not the History of Moses and the Children of Israel alike memorable And the Doctrine of Revolution very plainly held forth in the same For seeing that God began a new Union in Moses in order to reveal himself to produce a new World and to settle a new Government as before he had done in Noah and Abraham Is it not on this account that the Wisdom of God not without a singular Mystery represents to us Exod. 2. 2 3. how Moses when he was yet a Child swam upon the waters in an Ark of Rushes as before in the Creation Gen. 1. it is mentioned that the Spirit of God moved upon the Waters and as Gen. 7. 8. Noah saved himself in the Ark upon the Waters as was formerly mentioned And forasmuch as Divine Wisdom had chosen Moses to be a Leader and Governour of this new rising Birth and that no new one can be without a dying of the old and foregoing was it not therefore fitting that Moses himself from the very beginning of the work should enter upon dying as when the Lord came unto him and would have killed him Exod. 4. 24. And seeing that by means of him all the Egyptians were to be transplanted into the Israelites and consequently be made partakers of Circumcision was not that expression of Zipporah Prophetical think we when she said to Moses Thou art to me a bridegroom of bloods and that because of Circumcision Now in order to the production of this new World and Birth was it not needful for the old to perish and that in the Water as being the first matter forasmuch as every new Birth and Creation proceeds from the water as Christ himself witnesseth John 3. 5. Now this great Renovation as a kind of new Creation which was to be carried on for the good and salvation of two Nations in order to the rising of a new Life what was it else but the transplantation of the Egyptians into the Israelites And to the end that the same might be brought about was it not necessary for the Egyptians to die before forasmuch as without the Death of the old Birth no such new one can arise according to the testimony of Christ John 12. 24. And forasmuch as every Birth must take its beginning from a Child-like Being may it not have been for this reason that the Divine Wisdom so ordered it that Pharaoh who was the head of the Egyptians and their Center caused all the male Children of the Israelites to be drowned to the end that afterward by the right of Retalliation the Egyptians might be drowned likewise and by means of the drowned Children of the Israelites be transplanted into their Mothers For may not we suppose that the troubled and vengeance-crying spirit of the Fathers and Mothers did constantly remain united with their drowned Children as in whom their Life was entred in the water and was operative there until the right of Retalliation was fulfilled and executed upon those that were the cause of their Deaths 14 Q. To the end therefore that this right of Retalliation might be fulfilled upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians and they drowned likewise was it not necessary that an union of the Spirits of both Nations should precede so as
