Or, several significant similitudes by which the Lord Jesus Christ is described in the holy Scriptures Being the substance of many sermons preached by that faithful and useful servant of Christ Mr. Ralph Robinson, late pastor at Mary Wolnoth London.

life so the meat that is appointed for the natural life if compared with the meat of the Spiritual life is but a very image of meat Christs flesh is real meat 2. In respect of that typical meat which the Jews had lately spoken of v. 31. Our fathers did eat Manna in the desart c. Our Saviour tells them that that is but typical bread but his flesh is bread indeed it is the real substance of which that was but a meere type and shadow Thus for Explication The Observation is this Doct 1. That the Lord Jesus Christ is really and truly the food and meat of beleevers Flesh is here put for the whole person of Christ Jesus Christ as he is held out in the Scriptures is the true real and very meat of beleeving Christians Christ as he is propounded in the Gospel dead broken crucified Christ in all his perfection compleatnesse fulnesse is meat indeed to a true beleever 'T is the very scope of this Sermon from v. 27. to v. 59. in which this truth is inculcated over and over againe and all objections answered which the carnal reason and unbeleefe of mans heart can make against it I shall in the Explication of this Doctrine open these things 1. Prove that Christ is a beleevers meat 2. Shew the Analogy between Christ and other meat 3. How this meat is eaten and received I. That Christ is the soules meat This is proved two wayes First from the types of Christ in the Old Testament The Ceremonial Law had many types of Christ Whatsoever is revealed of Christ in the New Testament was some way or other typified of him in the Ceremonial Law There are foure types which did set out Jesus Christ as the souls meat 1. The Manna in the wildernesse The History of the Manna is set down Exod. 16. the people being in some want of provision in the Wildernesse of sinne began to murmur against Moses and Aaron v. 3. God promiseth v. 4. to raine bread from heaven for them which accordingly was done v. 14 15. That this was a type of the feeding vertue of Christ is plainly discovered by our Saviour in this very Sermon v. 31 32. The Wildernesse did typifie the state of the Church in this world and the Manna was a plaine type of Christ the Churches meat 2. The Shewbread The Law and manner of the Shewbread you have at large Lev. 24. 5 6 7. 8 9. There are two things represented by this Shewbread First the multitude of the faithful presented unto God in his Church as upon a pure table continually serving him made by faith and holinesse as fine cakes and by the mediation of Christ as by incense made a sweet odour unto God Secondly the Spiritual repast which the Church hath from and before God who feedeth them with Christ the bread of life 3. The meat-offerings Concerning this Minchah or meat-offering you may reade at large Lev. 2. 1 c. These meat-offerings were of two sorts some were the meat-offerings of the Congregation some of particular persons of these latter there were several sorts mentioned in that Chapter It 's said v. 3. that Aaron and his sons shall have the remnant of the meat-offering that is all of it but that which is burned upon the Altar for a memorial v. 2. Several things were signified by the meat-meat-offerings Being referred to Christ who by the oblation of his own body was our meat offering Psal 40. 6. Heb. 10. 5. they did shadow out our communion with Christ and participation of his death and resurrection by faith whereby he becomes unto us spiritual meat of which the whole Church are made partakers 4. The flesh of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings and others which were given to the Priests of which you read Lev. 7. 15. they were to be eaten the same day it was killed Now what was meant by the eating of the flesh of these sacrifices and of the flesh of the other sacrifices which were given to the Priests to eat vid. Lev. 10. 12 13 14. Surely Jesus Christ who by his flesh as by precious meat feedeth his people who are spirituall Priests unto everlasting life Secondly from the Sacraments of nourishment both of the Old and New Testament There were Sacraments of implantation or initiation and of growth under the Law Circumcision Passeover under the Gospel Baptisme Supper of the Lord. 1. The Sacrament of nourishment under the Old Testament was the Paschal lamb The Law and rites of this are set down Exod. 12. 3 4 5 c. What did this Paschal Lamb signifie but Jesus Christ our Passeover the Lamb of God which taketh away the sinnes of the world In this Sacrament was Jesus Christ set out as a nourisher He is that precious meat upon which all the true Israel of God feed continually who is therefore called our Passeover 1 Cor. 5. 7. 2. The Lords Supper This is the Sacrament of nourishment under the New Testament And herein clearly Christ is exhibited as our spiritual meat His flesh is the bread the wine is his blood As the body is nourished by bread and wine so is the soule by his body and blood nourished and fed to life eternal II. The Analogy between Christ and corporal meat stands in these three particulars Three great ends of meat 1. Corporal meat is for the preservation of the Susientation natural life The natural life is maintained by meat through the concurrence of Gods ordinary blessing 'T is pabulum vitae Hence bread under which all other provision is comprehended is called the staffe of life Esay 3. 1. Keep the strongest man from meat but a few dayes and the life will extinguish and go out 1 Sam. 30. 12. Jesus Christ is the maintainer and preserver of the spiritual life As he gives it at first so he upholds it 'T is by continual influences from him that the life is kept from expiring If he withdraw his influx never so little the soule is at the giving up of the Ghost even halfe dead 2. Corporal meat is for growth 'T is by meat Vegetation that the body is brought from infancy to childhood from childhood to youth from youth to a perfect man Jesus Christ is he that carries on a Christian from infancy to perfection All the soules growth and increase is from Christ So the Apostle Col. 2. 19. From him the whole body having nourishment ministred c. The branches live and increase by vertue of the sap which is derived from the root Christians grow by vertue of the sap which is to them derived from Jesus Christ Every part growes by Christ 3. Meat is a repayer of natures decayes When Reparation by some violent sicknesse the spirits are consumed the body wasted the strength lost meat fitly and seasonably taken helps through the divine blessing to recover all again 1 Sam. 30. 12. his spirit came to him againe Jesus Christ is the repairer of the soules decayes

For consolation Great comfort ariseth hence to godly men 1. Against spiritual darknesses Sometimes Gods people see neither Sunne nor Starres Esay 50. 10. Well be comforted Christ is the Sunne of righteousnesse he will arise and scatter all those black mists that trouble you your Sun is not set it is only eclipsed the light of it will shine again 2. Against all your own unrighteousnesse The servants of God finde much unrighteousnesse and guilt in themselves because of it they are cast down and go heavily Well remember Christ is a Sun of righteousness he is as full of righteousness as the Sun is of light and his righteousnesse is for thy benefit 'T is as much thine as if it were thine own 3. Against the want of sublunary comforts Gods people have often but little of these things Well yet the Sun is up what folly is it to complaine for want of Moon-light or Star-light when the Sunne shines If God hath cloathed you with the Sunne the want of Moon and Starres may well be endured CANT 1. 3. Thy Name is as ointment poured XXVII SERM. at Mary Wolnoth Lon. May 15. 1653. forth THe scope of the Holy Ghost in this song is to discover the exceeding great love that is between Jesus Christ and his Church We may see here Christ and his Church as it were striving who should expresse their love to each other most At the second verse in this Chapter the Church doth passionately desire to be made partaker of further Communion with Christ Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth Those who have once tasted of the sweetnesse of Christs love are exceedingly carried out after a further degree of his love The reason of this passionate desire is ver 2 3. namely from the sweetnesse of his love This is set out by a double comparison 1. His love is better then wine v. 2. 2. It s more desireable then precious ointments This is mentioned in the beginning of the third ver Because of the savour of thy good ointments and amplified further in the text Thy name is as ointment poured forth The words are a proposition in which we have 1. The subject Thy Name 2. The predicate Oyntment poured forth By the name of Christ some would understand the Doctrine of the Gospel So Ainsworth by his name saith he is meant the Doctrine of grace the Law of faith His Doctrine is sometimes in Scripture called his Name as the Iles shall wait for his Law Esay 42. 4. Which is expounded in his Name shall the Gentiles trust Mat. 12. 21. And it is most certain that his Law is far more sweet then the most precious oyntment But yet by his Name in this place we are better to understand his person as it is set forth in the Gospel his person is often called his Name as Mat. 10. 22. Ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake and Act 9. 16. I will shew him how great things be must suffer for my names sake that is for my sake The Observation is this Doct. That Jesus Christ is like ointment poured forth Jesus Christ is spiritual ointment His Name both in the Hebrew and Greek signifies anointing or anointed He is called in Dan. 9. 26. Messiah which the Septuagint render 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 anointing The Prophet Esay chap. 10. 27. calls him the anointing It is reported by Historians that at the birth of Christ in Rome a sudden fountaine of Oyle sprung up and flowed for a day and a night together our Annotatours mention it in their Exposition of this text The Oyles or Ointments used in sundry cases under the ceremonial Law were some way or other typical of Christ the true ointment In the handling of this Doctrine I shall open these foure things by way of Explication 1. In what respects Christ is compared to ointment 2. Why he is compared to ointment poured forth 3. How this ointment is poured forth 4. How Christ excels all other ointments 1. For the first 1. Christ is ointment in regard of that divine unction wherewith he was anointed by God The Scripture makes mention of Christs being anointed with the graces of the Spirit as our Mediator This was typified by the anointing of the Priests under the Law especially of the high-Priest you may read at large of the holy ointment and of the anointing of Aaron and his sons with it Exod. 30. 23 24 25 30. It was also typified by the anointing of Kings and Prophets ye may read much in Scripture of the anointing of these Elisha was anointed to the office of a Prophet 1 Kings 19. 16. and Kings were also anointed We read of Davids anointing 1 Sam. 16. 1. of Solomons anointing 1 King 1. 34. 39. All these were types of Christ the great King Prophet and Priest of his Church the anointing Oyle did typifie the graces of the Spirit the anointing of Aaron with that Oyle did typifie Christs anointing with
