pathetical and serious exhortation given Timothy (a) 2 Tim. 4. 1 2. and that the Prophet meant these times appears in that place where the same is iterated and repeated though in something other words (b) Jer. 23. 3 4 5 6. In his dayes Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called The Lord our righteousnesse what can more plainly point out Gospel-times for though the Levitical administration of the Covenant was to expire or to be disannulled as the Apostle speaks (c) Heb. 7. 18 19. yet the Covenant was not but was even then an everlrsting Covenant (d) Jer. 32. 40 and Aarons Priesthood however in some sense it was to be determined and cease yet was indeed in some sense an everlasting Priesthood as it is expresly promised to Phineas (e) Numb 25. 12 13. that is the Office and attendance upon holy things was everlasting to be continued in Aarons Priesthood for a time and afterwards to be translated into the Tribe of Judah and Order of Melchizedeck as God hath not only said but sworn (f) Heb. 7. 20 21. where now it is and shall be to the worlds end in the Pastors and Teachers of Gospel-times The Prophet Isaiah sayes (g) Isa 44. 3. I will poure water upon him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground I will power my Spirit upon thy seed and my blessing upon thine off-spring and the Prophet Joel (h) Joe 2. 28 29. I will poure out my Spirit upon all flesh now when and where were these great floods and inundations of the Spirit poured out the Apostle Peter tells you that the greatest and most observed inundation was in the day of Pentecost upon the Apostles that were then assembled in the Temple (i) Act. 2. 2 3 4. though there were dewes and lesser showers upon others afterwards (k) Act. 11. 15 and that not only in an extraordinary but ordinary manner (l) 1 Cor. 12. 8 9 10 11. yet in the Prophets these are promised in the reverend and known denominations and Titles of Priests and Levites for when the Jews and Gentiles shall be gathered out of all the Nations and bound up together in one volume and presented in Jerusalem unto the Lord God promiseth that he will take of them for Priests and for Levites (m) Isa 66. 20. 21. properly and litterally they could not be for the promise is to gather all tongues and all Nations Tarshish and Pul and Lud Javan and Tuball are expresly named (n) v. 18. 19. that is the Gentiles as they are called verse the ninteenth for the Priests and Levits properly so called were only Jews and of the Tribe of Levi and Spiritual Priests and Levits they could not be for it is said (o) v. 21. I will take of them not them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ex istis as Junius Montanus and others that is ex istis gentibus quae in munus oblatae fuerint domino as in their note now who ever is converted and washed in the blood of Christ is made a spiritual Priest and there is no distinguishing and picking out of some from others of them (p) Rev. 1. 5 6 for all have great dignity and there is no culling out CHAP. XV. The ninth Argument THat ought to be in every setled well-ordered Arg. 9 Church which God hath promised not only in words but also in Figures Types and modelled Representatives where the eye doth give in evidence as well as the eare when God doth not only say but shew not rehearse only but also represent and pourtray paint and engraven to be exposed to the view as well as hearing When God was serious that Jerusalem should be besieged and would have the people be assured of it hee commands the Prophet to expresse it in a picture (q) Ezek. 4. 1 2 3. for God knows that words are but windywinged Creatures that stay not when they have done their errand 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Poet often calls them nocte volat caeli medio terraeque per umbras as another sayes of Fame a flying report Curse not the King no not in thy thought and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber for the bird of the aire shall carry the voice and that which hath wings shall tell the matter (r) Eccles 10. 20. that is some rumor or report will fly abroad and Kings have long eares as well as hands Christ told the Apostles often of his dying at Jerusalem but his words flew away before they understood them (s) Luk. 18. 31 32 33 34. and therefore when he was to dye indeed and resolv'd they should remember it he closeth those expressions in the amulets and earings of the holy Sacrament that might hang as pendents at their eares continually (t) 1 Cor 11. 23 24 25 26. we confesse one way of chayning and confining words unto there proper office and employment of serving and securing of the memory is to record and write them down some think the reason of that great Apostacy and irreligion that was among the Sons of Noah after the Flood was want of writing for tradition was very easie and apt to be corrupted and therefore Moses was enabled and commanded to write all down and God himself began unto him in the Tables of the Law (u) Deut. 9. 10. but this was not enough to see the Characters and Letters but Portraitures and Pictures were annexed and written also and imprinted because they made a deeper and more palpable impression on the senses when you have a story or fable not onely written but also pictured and drawn in lively representatives before you as all the Prophecies of the succeding times are unto John from the fourth Chapter of his Revelation unto the end But God hath promised a Gospel-Ministry some to attend and act in holy things not onely in words but in visible and reall Types Delineations and Representations for when the City and Temple at Jerusalem were smitten as the Prophet speaks (w) Ezek 40. ● those graceless Jews were apt to think God had forgotten all Religion as Gardiner that bloody Bishop told Henry the eighth when he had pull'd down the Monasteries and seized their Lands unto his own use that now he would be thought the most Atheisticall and irreligious King in all the world and that would have an evill influence upon his discontented Subjects whereby he wrought him to a willingness to enact and execute those six Statutes whereby so many conscientious persons of both Religions were destroyed So the Jews now began to whisper that God now cared not nor looked after any thing but had forsaken all (x) Ezek. 8. 12 and so fell to the worship of other Gods the Lord therefore was now engaged to make it known and certain unto all men that the Jews had not stumbled that
