In the Primitive Church one of the Ceremonies of 〈◊〉 was this, that the baptized person had a clean white garment put upon him, with these words. Take this white Garment, and keep it unspotted until thou be presented before the Tribunal of Christ: The Churches meaning was, he should continue in that innocence, he received in Baptism.

Rock]

;;A strong defensed place of stone, serving for safety against enemies and dangers. 1 Sam. 14. 4. 〈◊〉 was a sharp rock on the one side. Also, a firm and 〈◊〉 estate, Psal. 40. 3.

;;2. The mighty help and defense of God. Psal. 18. 1. Thou art my rock; that is, succor and defense. In common dangers men did fly unto rocks for safety.

;;3. Christ Jesus, who is called a Rock in two respects.

• ;;1. Because we have from him our soul-refreshing 〈◊〉 as water gusht out in the Wilderness, to refresh the people being thirsty. 1 Cor. 10. 4. The rock that followed them was Christ.
• ;;2. Because he alone strongly sustains and beareth up his Church, built upon him by faith, as a house upon a rock. Mat. 16. 18. Upon this rock will I build my Church. The Papists, which expound this not of Christ believed on, and confessed by Peter, but of the person of Peter, they deal reproachfully with Christ by lifting the Creature and servant of Christ, into the room and place of his Creator and Lord. Also falsely with the Text, which saith not [ upon this Peter ] but [ upon this rock ] that is, not upon thee Peter, but upon myself (as Augustine expoundeth it.) Lastly, they offer wrong, and deal in juriously with the Church, to build it upon so feeble, frail, and weak a rock as Peter, who failed more often then any of his fellowApostles ( Judas excepted.)

;;Add unto all this, that the gates of hell prevailed against the particular faith of Peter, and that there was a Church before Peter either was born, or did believe; and that sundry Popes, ( Peters Successors, as Romanists say) were Apostates from the faith, and Atheists; therefore unfit to be the Head and Rock of the Church. Wherefore by the Rock must be meant, either Christ, or the general Faith which Peter confessed, as the Scriptures, Fathers, Greek and Latin, yea and the Popish Writers, even Bellarmine and 〈◊〉 are forced to affirm. Finally, whereas there is no argument to be drawn from Metaphors and Allegories, except the Scriptures elsewhere speak the same thing in plain words; and the Scripture nowhere plainly writeth that Peter is Head of the Church, therefore it is not to be concluded from this Metaphor.

;;4. Such comfortable succor as godly Princes do afford to good men, oppressed by the wicked. Isa. 32. 2. As the shadow of a great rock in a weary Land.

;;5. Abraham and Sarah, of whom the Israelites were begotten and born. Isa. 51. 1. Look to the rock whence you were 〈◊〉 , &c. An Allegory from a quarry of stones, very fitting to the argument of the Prophet, which is, to comfort the Church, being sore afflicted, and brought almost to nothing: for which purpose, the people so wasted are willed to look back upon their Parents and Progenitors, Abraham and Sarah, who in their old age and barrenness did bring forth a Son by virtue of God's promise. So the Church in their extreme distress, should feel the same virtue for their deliverance and safety. See verse. 2, 3. thus expounding it.

6. Unfruitfull and stony hearted 〈◊〉 , Luke 8. 13.

7. A sure and immovable Foundation, Matth. 7. 25.

8. A safe place, Numb. 24. 21.

9. A most barren and unfruitful place, Job 29. 6. Psal. 81. 16.

This is a Divine rod, which is either sor ruling or correcting, Ezek. 20. 37. Mic. 7 14. Psal. 89. 33. And for the rebellious God hath an iron rod, Psal. 2. 9. Lam. 3. 1.

6. The Preaching of the Word and Gospel, Psal. 110. 1. Isa. 11. 4.

7. Government and authority, Psalm 125. 3. Isa. 14 29.

And contrary to this is the spirit of meekness that follows here, 〈◊〉 in not inflicting that sharpeness on them, upon sight of their speedy reformation, which by threatening here he desires and hopes to produce, before his coming to them personally.

A Rose delighteth in shadowy places, orient of hew, cold of complexion, but passing redolent, and of comfortable condition, such a flower is Jesus; most delighted in temperate places; for hew, the chiefest of ten thousand; a cooler to the conscience, but passing savory and comfortable to the distressed patient. Clapham.

I am the Rose, or the flower, or bud of the Rose, which is the Prince of flowers both for beauty and scent, and most fitly representeth Christ, in comparison of whom nothing should be sweet or delightful to us, for he is the glory and ornament of his Church, whose beauty and sweetness shall never fade. He is despised and trod upon by the wild beasts of the world, but the Saints honor him, and wear him in their hearts, and deck their souls with his graces, and benefits, as with chaplets of immortal roses.

His Godhead and Manhood; for God in Vision hath appeared all white as snow and as pure wool, Dan. 7. 9. and Christ in his glory had his face shining as the Sun, and his raiment white as the light, Mat. 17. 2. and in him dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead bodily, Col. 2. 9. Man had his name Adam, of Adamah, the red mould of the earth out of which he was taken, Gen. 2. 7. and Christ (who is here Adam red) is the last Adam, 1 Cor. 15. 45. and was partaker with his children of flesh and blood, Heb. 2. 14.
• 2. White denoteth his innocence in himself without spot of sin: red, his sinful case by imputation, 2 Cor. 5. 21. and so these two colors are used to signify sinfulness and innocence, Isa. 1. 18. and 〈◊〉 red betokeneth his sufferings to the shedding of his blood, as white doth his victory peace joy, and comfort in God, Rev. 7. 9, 13, 17. Eccl. 9. 8. And in respect of his administration, white 〈◊〉 forth his grace and mercy to repentant and believing sinners, whom he justifieth, sanctifieth, and will bring into glory, Rev. 19. 8, 14. and red his justice in punishing and doing vengeance on his enemy. See Isa. 63. 1, 2, 3. Rev. 19. 13. Ainsworth.

Rude]

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 2 Cor. 11. 6. (whence cometh our English word, Idiot ) plain and ordinary, as who did apply himself to vulgar capacities. St. Paul lacked not that kind of 〈◊〉 , which was meet for an Apostle of Christ, and fit for the Gospel, but he willingly wanted that painted kind of speech, and affected strains, which the false Apostles so much brag'd of.

Rudiments]

;;The first beginnings in any science, which be first to be learned, Heb. 6. 1.

;;2. The Jews Ceremonies and Rites, or any other external human observations urged with an opinion of merit, necessity of salvation, and as parts of God's service. Gal. 4. 9. Weak and beggarly Rudiments. Col. 2. 8.

;;The whole Law of Moses (especially the ceremonial) hath the name of Elements or Rudiments given to it because it was like unto Rudiments, insomuch as God intended and meant thereby to call the world to a more full knowledge of himself, as by beginnings and principles we are brought to more exact knowledge of Arts and Sciences. For the promises under the Law were very dark, covered with Ceremonies, (as with a veil or curtain drawn before them) showing and pointing at Christ afar off. In a word, the whole discipline and government of the Mosaical Law, was very rude, 〈◊〉 to such as were rude, until the time that the holy Spirit should be poured out with full horn (as it were) upon the body of the Church, gathered of Jews and Gentiles, as was promised, Joel 2. 28, 29. and promised by Christ, Joh. 7. 39.

;;Mosaical or Legal Ceremonies are 〈◊〉 weak and beggarly, being considered in themselves apart from Christ, and by the false opinion of the seduced Galatians, who by attributing grace, holiness and merit unto them, shown plainly how poor and needy they were. For to turn and fall from Christ to any Ceremonies, or to any good works whatsoever, though proceeding from faith as if any salvation in whole or in part, were derived from them) it is to follow emptynesse and beggary instead of the fullness of Christ riches, in whom all the treasures of life be hid.

Rudiments]

After the rudiments of the world, Col. 2. 8. Hereby may be understood those imperfect ways of piety and virtue, which either the Jews or Gentiles adhered to before Christ, or before receiving the faith of Christ, especially the Gentile doctrines noted by Philosophy at the beginning of the verse, and the worshiping of Angels, verse. 18. but with all the Jewish abstinencies and observations, verse. 14, & 16. For it is certain that the Gnostics Divinity, which through this whole chapt. is peculiarlly noted was a 〈◊〉 of Judaism and Heathenism both, and those doctrines of theirs, which they labored to impose on Christians, are here expressed by the rudimens (or elements) of the world, and so verse. 20. 〈◊〉 though Gal. 4. 3, 9. where the matter confines it to the Mosaical Law, it fitly belongs to that only. Dr. H. Annot. b.

Rue]

An herb well known, and experimentally found available against poison, pestilence, and 〈◊〉 diseases. Hereof tithe was paid, Luk. 11. 42.

Rufus]

Red. The Son of Simon a Cyrenian Mar. 15. 21. One of whom Paul maketh mention, Rom. 16. 13.

Ru-hamab]

Having obtained mercy, Hos. 2. 1. marg.

Ruin]

1. The cause of ruin, 2 Chr. 28. 23.

2. Destruction. Prov. 24. 22. Isa. 23. 13.

3. A most poor estate, Isa. 3. 6.

4. Utter overthrow, Isa. 25. 2.

5. Decaying and fallen down, Amos 9. 11. Act. 15. 16.

6. Such a fall, as is an overthow and destruction, Luk. 6. 49.

Ruin]

Jerusalem is ruined, Isa. 3. 8. Brought to ruin, come to confusion. Or, as 〈◊〉 , hath stumbled, as Psal. 27. 2. & 8. 15. According to that of the Apostle, Rom. 9. 32. & 11. 11. See Annot.

Ruinous heaps]

Isa. 37. 26. or heaps overgrown, with grass, weeds, shrubs, and other like trash, as waste places are wont to be. Annot.

Rule]

;;Goverment, Divine or Human, Civil or Ecclesiastical; as Ruler signifieth any Governor, and to rule is to govern. 1 Tim. 5. 17. Elders that rule well. Rom. 12. 8. He that ruleth with diligence. Exod. 22. 28. Thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy people. Exod. 18. 21. Appoint such to be Rulers over thousands. 1 Tim. 3. 5. signisieth one that governeth wisely, causeth everyone in the family to do his duty.

;;2. The direction of the Word of God, as a rule to go and work by. Gal. 6. 16. As many as walk according to this rule (or canon. ) Hence the Scriptures are called Canonical, because they contain and give a perfect rule of faith and manners unto the Church which is bound obediently to walk according to this rule, and to give testimony to it, and not by her authority to over rule it, and the sense of it, as the Romanists do, and profess to do without blushing.

3. Line, 2 Cor. 10. 13. marg.

Rule]

Let us walk by the same rule, Phil. 3. 16. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in the Stadia signified the white line that marked out the path wherein they were to run, and so 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here, is to go or run by the same line in that path, never 〈◊〉 over, or out of it, lest they loose all. And thus are they most concerned to do, that are before other men; and if they have but this one care, are not likely to miscarry by anything else. That which is most 〈◊〉 to this in our Christian race, is dividing into 〈◊〉 and sides; peace, 〈◊〉 , and charity being the white, within which they are commanded to walk; and therefore it follows, that they should 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , mind the same thing, live in unity and amity, run all the same way, to the same end, and be all fellow-followers of the Apostle, verse. 17 Dr. 〈◊〉 Annot. k.

To rule]

is given to God, Dan. 4. 26. Christ, Psal. 110. 2. Princes and Nobles, Prov. 8. 16. Isa. 32. 1. Pastors, Heb. 13. 7. an Husband, Gen. 3. 16. an Elder brother, Gen. 4. 7.

It signifieth also, To be armed, Kiss, Gen. 41. 40. marg.

To rule]

Col. 3. 15. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifieth properly to rule after the manner of a Judge, or an Umpire. It is taken from the custom of the Heathen, who in their public games of wrestling, &c. had some who sat as Judges, who ordered the runners or wrestlers, and gave to them that run 〈◊〉 some rewards.

This word is also rendered by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . Mat. 2. 6. Act. 20. 28. Rev. 7. 17. but signifieth according to subject 〈◊〉 spoken of either to rule, or feed. In Joh. 21. 16. it being spoken of a spiritual pastour, it cannot be so meant of ruling, as a King, but is to be understood of feeding as a spiritual pastor, 〈◊〉 doctrine, and life.

Rule]

Heb. 13. 7. Remember them which have the rule over you, or, are the guides, marg.

Ruler]

A Prince, 2 Sam. 8. 18. marg. A Governor, Joh. 2. 9. A Judge, Act. 7. 27. A deliverer, Act. 7. 35.

There's a Civil Ruler, 2 Sam. 23. 2. (whether supreme or subordinate, 1 Pet. 2. 13, 14.) an Ecclesiastical, Act. 13. 15. A Spiritual, Eph. 6. 12.

Ruler]

A certain ruler, Mat. 9. 18. There was among the Jews the lesser or the greater 〈◊〉 or Consistory, Mat. 5. 22. The former consisting of 23 Judges in every City, the 〈◊〉 of 72 in Jerusalem. The greater 〈◊〉 was made up of the chief priests, and Elders, or Presbyters of the people (called oft the Elders of Israel ) and the Scribes of the people, Judge. 5. 11. (or in the Chaldee. Par. the Scribes of Israel. ) They of the lesser Consistory were called Rulers, as here. Dr. Ham. Annot. g.

One of the rulers of the Synagogue, Mar. 5. 22. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here signifieth the lesser Consistory, among the Rulers whereof, though there was generally one chief in learning, and porportinably in authority, yet because the rest had power of judicature there, with and under him; therefore not only he but the rest also are all contained under the common name of Rulers of the Synagogue, both here, and Act. 13. 15. A difference there is between the Rulers of the 〈◊〉 and those that are called the Rulers of the people, but no more then this. The former are those in particuliar Cities, but the latter those of the Sanhedrim in Jerusalem. Both of them are in other places called simply Rulers, as Match. 9. 18. 23. Luk. 18. 18. and in other places, when the context belongs to Jurusalem, as Luk. 23. 13, 25. Joh. 7. 26, 48. it's clear that the Rulers called so simply, must be those of the great Sanhedrim. Idem. Annot. c.

Rumah]

High, exalted, or cast away. A City, 2 King. 23. 36.

Rumble]

Jer. 47. 3. Chariots were then much used in war and fight, Exod. 14. 7, 25. Judge. 4. 3. Of the noise of whose wheels, the Prophets meaning is here, as Isa. 5. 28. of their swiftness.

Rumor]

Fame, voice, or report, Isa. 37. 7. Luk. 7. 17.

Rump]

That part of a beast that joineth unto the backbone or upper part of the tail, Lev. 3. 9.

To run]

;;With great speed and celerity to pass through a race until they come unto the goal. 1 Cor. 9. 24. They which run in a race, run all.

;;2. To keep and hold on the race of Christianity with diligence and constancy, until we come to the end of it. 1 Cor. 9. 24. So run that ye may attain. Heb. 12. 1. Run the race that 〈◊〉 set before us.

3. To break, Psal. 18. 29. marg.

4. To make hast, Prov. 1. 16. 2 King. 4. 22.

5. Eagerly in affection to be carried after, 1 Pet. 4. 4.

6. To pass without let. Psal. 147. 15.

7. To labor with earnestness, Gal. 2. 2.

8. Speedily to go forward, Gal. 5. 7.

To run after Christ]

;;To desire and endeavor more and more to be joined unto Christ and yield him greater and better obedience, Cant. 1. 3. Draw me, we will run after thee.

To run after in the holy idiomes is to cleave unto Christ, and so its an act of faith; or to deny ourselves and observe him, not step before him, Peter, Mat. 16. 23. So it's an act of obedience and mortification, or to hold on, and not apostate; so it's the grace of peseverance. All this is required from us, and there is comfort and encouragement enough in him we run uuto to confirm us, and make us get away with speed, though we have a cross on our sholders. So did he, who should be our example, as well as our Captain, Heb. 12. 1. Annot.

Our Christian conversation is called, a running, Gal. 2. 2. & 5. 7. and our life is likened to a course or race which is run, Act. 13. 25. 2 Tim. 4. 7. It signifieth readiness of affection and speedy performance in action, 1 King. 19. 19, 20. Psal. 147. 15. Hag. 1. 9. It argueth also strength in the runner, Dan. 8. 6. all which are here implied as an effect of Christ's grace drawing her, according to the Prophesy, Isa. 55. 5. & Isa. 40. 31 Ainsworth.

To run in vain]

;;To labor in preaching the Gospel, which is elegantly likened to a race without fruit or benefit, Gal. 2. 2.

Heb. 12. 1. Let us run with patience, &c. We must not creep like Snailes, but run like Roes. All must run, Ministers and people, let us run; and it must be the race of Christianity, and that unto the end, and with patience, Jones.

Our race is long, and full of rubs and difficulties, and therefore there is great need of patience, lest we faint, and give over our course. Annot.

To run well]

;;Through the belief and knowledge of the Gospel to strive mightily, and with good courage to attain eternal life as a promised reward. Gal. 5. 7. Ye did run well.

Not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth]

;;That in the mater of our election, and those things which depend thereon for perfect salvation in heaven, to wit, our calling, justification, adoption, sanctification: in these things nothing at all is to be attributed, either to our willing, that is to freewill, desires, affections, and endeavor of the heart; or to running, that is to our outward actions, labors, study, and working, but all wholly to be attributed unto the mercy of God. Therefore Pelagians and Papists are hereby fully confuted. For the Apostle ascribing our election (and salvation depending thereon) all wholly to God's free mercy; and denying it to come by willing and running, by our desires or endeavors, doth thereby overthow all strength of nature, or prepare and make fit for grace, or to accept it being offered; and all merits of works done after grace. For if Election, or Calling, or Justification, &c. come of Works, they come not at all of Mercy, Rom. 11. 6.

Rush]

Job 8. 11. The word is translated a bull-rush, Exod. 2. 3. Isa. 18. 2. It hath the name from drinking, because rushes and flags cannot subsist without moisture. It seems to be some bigger and stronger matter then our rushes; because vessels to keep children out of the water, and passenbers to go by the Sea were made of it, as appears in the places quoted. Annot.

It's put figuratively, for the poorer, baser, and meaner sort of people, Isa. 9. 14. Annot.

Rush and branch, Isa. 19. 15. A proverbial speech for Weak and Strong, as by Head and Tail, High and Low are understood. Annot.

To rush]

To break in with rage, or rustle, break in with much noise, being tumultuous, outrageous, Isa. 17. 13. As an inundation of waters, with much violence breaking in, and overthrowing all before it, Jer. 8. 6. as a company assigned to aslault a fortress, Act. 19. 28.

Rust]

Any thing that by rust or fretting doth eat into and consume metal, or any other creature, Mat. 6. 19. It's observable that from gold and silver hoarded up, proceedeth that whereby in time the same is spoiled and corrupted. See Jam. 5. 3.

Rust doth corrupt]

Mat. 6. 19. Not that which Iron is subject to, but that which spoils Corn, and is called smut among us. And in a greater latitude, it may belong to all other vermin which devour Corn in the Barn or Garner; yea, and the Caterpillars that eat up plants, and all other fruits also. Dr. Ham. Annot. k.

Ruth]

Watered, filled, or 〈◊〉 drunken The Wife of Mahlon, Ruth 1. 4. then of Boaz, Ruth 4. 1, 2. &c.

Rye]

Exod. 9. 35. The 〈◊〉 called Zea, or Spelt, in Hebrew, Cussemeth. Hereof there's mention also in Isa. 28. 25. The Hebrew Doctors count it a kind of Wheat. Ainsworth.

SAbaoth]

Jam. 5. 4. or, Tzebaoth, as the Hebrews read. This is an Hebrew word, and signifies, hosts, namely of heaven and earth, which are at his service, and fight for him against his enemies; which title is often ascribed to God in the Old Testament. See Isa. 1. 9. Jer. 11. 20. Rom. 9. 29. and is here expressed by the Apostle, thereby to show his great power, which he hath to punish the oppressors of the righteous. D. Annot.

Jehovah Sabaoth]

The Jehovah; or the Lord of hosts; that is, the powerful and Sovereign Commander of all the creatures, in heaven and earth, which are, as his host, ready pressed to do him service. Annot.

Sabbath]

;;A day of rest, or a time set apart for holy rest. Exod. 20. 10. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Mar. 2. 27. The Sabbath was made for man. The seventh day from the Creation was the Sabbath of the Jews, as a type and token of spiritual rest. But Jewish Rites being abolished in the death of Christ, which brake down the partition wall: now we Christians have the first day of the week for our Sabbath, in remembrance of Christ his resurrection that day, Act. 20. 7. 1 Cor. 16. 2. The Jewish Sabbath was abrogate by the authority of God, and not of the Church, without Scripture, as Papists fain and imagine.

;;2. The whole week, by a Synecdoche of a part for the whole. Luk. 24. 1. In the first day of the Sabbath. Also. 18. 12. I fast twice every Sabbath, that is, every week. So our Translation reads it, but the Greek word signifies Sabbath.

;; Note. Sabbath is a word in the Hebrew, which, signifieeth to rest, not for idleness or any worse employments, but because of the vacation to Divine and religious duties, for practice whereof the seventh day was sequestered from the rest, and sanctified to God, as our Lord's day now is.

;;Besides this day, the Jews had sundry Feasts, as Easter, Pentecost, &c. whereon because they ceased from their servile works, and kept an holy convocation the first day, and the last hence they were called Sabbaths, as Lev. 26. 2. No ground for Popish feasts. The seventh year also was Sabbatical, because of rest from tillage, Lev. 25. 2.

;;This word [Sabbath] is named of cessation and rest from our own works works, wills, ways and words, Exod. 20. 10. Isa. 58. 13. Aeb. 4. 10. which day was the seventh day from the Creation wherein God rested from all his work, and blessed and sanctified it, and commanded it to be kept holy to him, Gen. 2. 2, 3. Exod. 20. 8. which was a token of his mercy unto us, and sanctification of his Church, Neh. 9. 14. Exod. 31. 13, 14. This day was sanctified by an holy convocation or assembly of the people, Lev. 23. 3. by offering of sacrifices, Numb. 28. 9, 10. by singing of Psalms, as the title of Psal. 92. doth show with the Chronicles, 2 Chron. 29. 26, 27. by reading and expounding Scriptures, Act. 13. 15. & 15. 22. by praying, Act. 16. 13. by disputing, conferring, meditating of God's Word and Works, and of doing works of mercy to those that have need, Act. 17. 2. & 18. 4. Mat. 12. 2, 7, 8, 11, 12.

;; Note. The Sacrifices and accustomed Rites of the Sabbath are mentioned, Numb. 28. & Lev. 23. & 24. where we may read the Offerings once daily used in the week, were doubled on the Sabbath, and the Shew-bread renewed.

;;The Sabbath Ceremonial among the Jews was of three sorts.;;

• ;;1. The seventh day, or the last day of seven days a Sabbath of Days.;;
• ;;2. A Sabbath of Weeks, or the seventh week.;;
• ;;3. A Sabbath of Years, or the seventh year.;;

• ;;1. The seventh day of the worlds Creation, called the Lord's Sabbath, because he ceased that day from Createing, Heb. 4. 4. Gen. 2. 2.;;
• ;;2. The like of that first seventh day, or every seventh day of the week, reckoned from that day, which was the first of the world. This is the Lord's Sabbath by institution, but the Jews by observation, Exod. 20. 10.;;
• ;;3. A day of rest to Christians from servile labor to serve God. This is the like to that which was the first of the worlds Creation, but is the end of every week or seven days to Christians, and is their Sabbath consecrated hereto by our Savior's resurrection on that day.;;
• ;;4. Any festival day, either upon the Sabbath, or else any other day of the week, Luk. 6. 1.;;
• ;;5. The whole week before or after the Sabbath, by reason of the sanctification by that which went before, or our preparation to that which followed after, Luk. 18. 12. & 24. 1.;;
• ;;6. The resting and ceasing of men regenerate from sinful works, in the course of our whole life, which is our spiritual Sabbath, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5, 6.;;
• ;;7. The resting and freedom of the godly in heaven eternally from all misery, fear, danger, or labor; this is that eternal Sabbath, of which and the former of six sorts, all the other sorts were but types for instruction, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5. 6, 8, 9, 11. Isa. 66. 23.;;

The Sabbath is disttinguished from all other Sabbaths by [ He ] demonstrative Hasabbath; and it's called a Sabbath of Sabbaths, Exod. 31. 15. an excellent Sabbath. The Jews comparing this with other Sabbaths, call it the Queen, and the other Sabbath, as Pascah Pentecost and Feast of Tabernacles, but Concubines; and the days between the first great day of the feast, and the last day of it, they compare them to Hand-maids. This Sabbath exceeds all other Sabbaths, and they take their denomiation from it, as the Feast of Expiation, Lev. 16. 21. So the seventh year rest, and the Jubilee, the 〈◊〉 years rest are called Sabbaths; and the whole week is so called, Lev. 23. 15. Luk. 18. 12. The Sabbath unto the Jews was a pledge of all the benefits which they were to receive from Christ to come. In the Allegorical signification, their Sabbath signified to them Christ resting in the grave; in the Tropological, it signified their resting from their servile works, and the works of the flesh; and in the Anagogical, it signified to them their eternal rest; but unto us under the Gospel, it is an arbitrary, not 〈◊〉 destinate type, for all types are ceased now to us.

The Sabbath differed from all other Feasts and Sabbaths.

• 1. It had still a preparation going before it, called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , or pervigilium Sabbathi, the watch before the Sabbath; and albeit mention be made of the preparation to the Passover, Joh. 19. 14. yet it was because the Sabbath and Passover fell both together and the preparation was in respect of the Sabbath, not the Festival day, this was called a great 〈◊〉 .
• 2. They used to transfer the Festival days to the 〈◊〉 bath, but it stood 〈◊〉 .
• 3. The Sacrifices of all their Feasts gave way to the Sabbath.
• 4. The Sabbath had a double Sacrifice appointed for it, whereas the Feast days had their own particular Sacrifices.
• 5. The Sabbath was kept in the Wilderness, Numb. 9. 5. but the Feasts were not kept in the Captivity.
• 6. The whole week took the denomination from the Sabbath. Luke 18. 12. I fast twice in the Sabbath, in the week. So Act. 13. 42. the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached unto them, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , in the middle of the 〈◊〉 . It differed from the Week-days, for in it they came to hear the Scriptures read and expounded, 〈◊〉 1. 21. Luke 4. 31. Acts 14. 15. & 15. 21. but in the Week-days they met but occasionally, as Acts 17. 10. Isa. 58. 2. They seek me daily to know my ways, but the Sabbath was the appointed time to seek. Weems on the fourth Commandment.

To break the Sabbath]

;;To offend against the Ordinances of God, concerning the Sabbath, by doing some servile and forbidden work. Neh. 13. 17. Why break ye the Sabbath day?

;;2. To do some outward bodily work, commanded of God. Mat. 12. 5. The Priests on the Sabbath day do break the Sabbath in the Temple, and yet are blameless; that is, they do a bodily work in killing Beasts for Sacrifice, which though it break the rest of the day, yet is not against the holiness of the day.

Sabbath days journey, was as far as they might travel on the Sabbath day. They measured their journey two ways: the first was their common measure, and it was called [ Ciberath haaretz] diaeta terrae, Gen. 35. 16. i. e. as much ground as a man might go from Morning till Breakfast, or from Breakfast till Dinner; so far was it betwixt Bethlehem and Rama: the second measure was the measure for the Sabbath, which was as far as betwixt the uttermost Tent and the Tabernacle, 2000 cubits, Josh. 3. 4. This they called [ Teberim Sabbath] terminus Sabbathi, and [ Mil] 〈◊〉 , an Italian mile; but when they came to Canaan, they might go as far as betwixt their houses and the Synagogue; every man's house was not so near as Mount Olivet was to Jerusalem, Ibid.

Sabbath of the Lord]

;;A day of rest, appointed to be kept holy to the Lord, being spent in his service. Exod. 20. 10. It is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.

The next Sabbath, Act. 13. 42. or in the Week between, or in the Sabbath between, marg.

To sanctify the Sabbath]

;;Either to ordain the Sabbath unto holy uses, or to apply it unto such uses as it is ordained for. In the former sense God doth sanctify the Sabbath, and we do sanctify it in the latter. Exod. 20. 11. God sanctified it.

To sanctify the Sabbath. It is sanctified by God and Man

God sanctifieth it (Ezek. 20. 12.) two ways:

• 1. By sanctifying man to keep it holy.
• 2. He separates it from a profane to a religious use. Time properly is not sanctified, and it is called holy, only improperly, because it is the measure of holy actions. This is Sanctificatio constitutiva, which belongs only to God, for he made the Sabbath.

Man sanctifieth it two ways:

• 1. In judgment, accounting it not a common, but a day holy to the Lord, Act. 10. 15.
• 2. In use and practice, that it be used as a day holy to Lord. The use of it is set down, Isa. 58. 13. Andrew's upon the fourth Commandment.

From Sabbath to Sabbath]

;;Everlasting, without intermission or ceasing of time, even so long as the blessed rest of heaven doth continue. Isa. 66. 23. From Sabbath to Sabbath shall all flesh worship me, saith Jehovah.

Second Sabbath]

;;The latter solemn day of a Jewish Feast, wherein they rested frombodily labors, and kept a public Assembly, as was used to be done upon the Sabbath day. Luke 6. 1. It came to pass on a second Sabbath day. Lev. 23. 3. Deut. 16. 8.

;;The Ceremonial observation for the Sabbath, was double.

;;First, a precise and strict rest on that day, not so much as to dress 〈◊〉 ; which signifieth a rest from sin in this life, Exod. 31. 13. Heb. 4. 5, 6. and an everlasting rest in heaven, as in the Hebrews.

;;The other observation, that no fire should be kindled on that day, which signifieth, that God's children in the Kingdom of God shall be freed from all the fire and scorching heat of affliction, Exod. 35. 3.

Gen. 42. 25. Mr. Ainsworth. renders it 〈◊〉 , as in Lev. 11. 32. Sackcloth, which was made (saith he) of threads of hair, braided like a 〈◊〉 , or woven as cloth, and made either of Goats hair, or of Camels hair, or Horse tails, or the like. Whence we may observe, that 〈◊〉 Baptist' s garment of Camels hair was Sackcloth, opposed to soft and Princely clothing, Mat. 3. 4. & 11. 8. And such the Prophets of old used for to wear, as Elias (in whose habit, and power, and spirit John the Baptist came, Luk. 1. 17. (2 King. 1. 8. and Isaiah, Isa. 20. 2. and others, Zech. 13. 4.

Sackbut]

A musical instrument threesquare, having strings of an unequal length, of a loud sound. It was used in the Idolatry of the Gentiles, Dan. 3. 5, 7, 10, 15.

Sackcloth]

A course cloth used by the Prophets, with a girdle of leather, 2 King. 1. 8. 〈◊〉 . 3. 4. Wherein the false Prophets did imitate them, that they might get the greater respect, and more easily deceive, Zech. 13. 4. It was a sign of grief and misery, Isa. 15. 3. & 22. 12. Jer. 4. 8. & 6. 26. Lam. 2. 10. Joel 1. 8. Rev. 11. 3. 2. Of humiliation both before men, 1 King. 20. 31, 32. and also before God, 1 King. 21. 27, 29. It was used in Fasting, Isa. 58. 5. Neh. 9. 1. Est. 4. 3. Jon. 3. 5, 6, 8. It was made of Black goats hair, therefore it was a symbol of calamity; and when God threatens great miseries and affliction, he is said to clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering, Isa. 50. 3. & Rev. 6. 12. at the pouring out of the sixth Vial, the Sun is said to become black as sackcloth of hair.

;;A sign of sorrow, to which is added earth or ashes upon their heads. 2 Sam. 3. 3. 1 King. 21. 27. Neh. 9. 1. Est. 4. 1.

Cloathed in 〈◊〉 ]

Rev. 11. 3. mourning for the idolatry of the Papists spreading itself so fast and so far, and for the troubles of the true Church. Sackcloth is worn in sad times. 2 King. 6. 30. Amos 8. 9, 10. Annot. And is opposed to the splendor and luxury of Antichrist and his followers. Leighs Annot.

Sacrament]

;;is a visible sign and seal of an invisible grace.

;;Or more largely thus:

;;It is an ordinance of God, in the right use whereof, the partaker hath assurance of his being in the Covenant of grace, and salvation by Christ.

;;Of such Sacraments there be two only under the New Testament, Baptism and the Lord's Supper. The former being a Seal of our entrance into the Covenant; the other a Seal of our continuance in the Covenant, Mat. 26. 26, 27. Also ch. 28. 18, 19. 1 Cor. 10. 1, 2, 3. 1 Cor. 12. 13. The seven Sacraments of Papists are too many by five, which either lack an outward sign, or institution by Christ, or be no Seals of saving grace.

;;Touching the true Sacraments instituted by Christ himself, this is to be observed, that a lively Faith saveth without them, (so there be no contempt and careless neglect:) but the Sacrament cannot save without faith, Ma. 16. 16. For that which begetteth anew, and justifieth, is not the Sacrament of Faith, (which is common to Reprobates and unbelievers, with the 〈◊〉 and believing Christians) but the faith of the Sacrament apprehending Christ, the thing represented, that is the 〈◊〉 ; not because it is done, but because it is believed, therefore it 〈◊〉 and strengtheneth.

Sacrament is considered,

• 1. In the abstract only, as signs. In this sense the reprobate do receive holy Seals and Sacraments; otherwise they could not be said to profane the holy things of God; and so they may be Sacraments and work no grace either by themselves, or from God.
• 2. They are considered in concreto, according to all which they include in their use, viz. as they consist of the sign and the thing signified, the institution of God, and the promise of grace; in this sense the Sacraments are not efficient causes of grace, but only material causes containing grace, as the vessel doth the physic: So 1 Pet. 3. 19. Baptism is said to save as the physicians glass cureth diseases, they have a power to obtain grace, being used in faith and sincere prayer; this to speak accurately, is 〈◊〉 about the Sacrament, then from it.

Again, Sacraments are considered,

• 1. As Signs.
• 2. As religious Seals.
• 3. As instruments by which faith works.
• 5. As means used by us out of conscience and obedience to God, who hath commanded us to use them.
• • 1. As Signs, they are objective and moral causes, exciting the mind, as the Word doth in a moral way. They rerepresent Christ, and him crucified; and this they have common with the Word, Gal. 3. 1.
  • 2. As Seals, Rom. 4. 11. they have no real or physical action in or from them, only they declare that the grace signified doth belong to the worthy receiver but add nothing to him. Yet they so declare as that the Receiver is assured of of the grace signified.
  • 3. As Instruments, faith is stirred up and weakened to lay hold upon Christ, and the benefits of his death and passion; and for this cause there is a real exhibition of the thing signified and the Sacrament is an Exhibitive seal.
  • 4. As they are used in obedience to God; they profit if we believe and not otherwise; and this way used, our assurance groweth, faith increaseth, and a further degree of communion with Christ is confirmed. Rutherford Due right of Presb. p. 111, 112, 113, 114.

The use of them is threefold.

• 1. To represent and seal up our communion with Christ and his Church, 1 Cor. 12. 13. & 10. 16. Gal. 3. 27.
• 2. To distinguish us from Infidels, Turks, and Jews, 1 Cor. 11. As often as we eat the flesh of Christ, and drink his blood in the Sacrament, we should show forth his death till he come, both in outward action, and inward thoughts; hence Circumcision and consequently Baptism, is called a Seal of the 〈◊〉 of faith, Rom. 4. 11. The use of a Seal being not only to certify and confirm ourselves in the assurance of the benefit sealed, but also that others seeing the Seal, may know what benefits we enjoy.
• 3. To be monuments to put us in mind of our duty; as Baptism, that we ought to die to sin, and live to righteousness, Rom. 6. the Lord's Supper, that we might remember and show forth the Lord's death, 1 Cor. 11. 24, 25.

Sacrifice]

;;A sacred action, wherein the faithful Jews did violently worship God by offering some outward thing unto his glory thereby to testify his chief dignity and dominion over them, and their servitude and submission unto him. Such sacrifices were either Propitiatory, to procure favor and pardon after some sin; or Gratulatory, to give thanks and praise after some benefit. Psal.. 50. 8. I will not reprove thee for thy Sacrifices. & 51. 16. Lev. 3. 4. & 4. 2. This is Legal sacrifice and typical; Christ Jesus being the truth and substance, who in the offering of himself once upon the Cross, hath fully appeased God's wrath. The word [ Sacrifice ] signifieth slaughtering and killing, as cattle were killed for sacrifice to God, figuring man's mortification or dying to sin, Psal. 51. 19.

;;2. The whole Legal worship, Eccles. 5. 1. Hos. 4. 19.

;;3. Our whole spiritual service, and Christian duties of all sorts within our general and special callings. Psal. 51. 17. The Sacrifices of God are a 〈◊〉 spirit, &c. 1 Pet. 2. 5. Heb. 13. 15. This is Evangelical sacrifices. But touching Papistical sacrifice of the Mass, wherein Christ is said to be corporally offered by the Priests, for the sins both of quick and dead the scripture is altogether mute and dumb, save to cry out against it.

;;4 The thing it self that by the Jews, or by the Priests, for them was offered up to God, as Beasts, 〈◊〉 , &c. not themselves, Heb. 9. 9.

;;5. The thing it self, or matter offered up by Christians as an Eucharistical or Gratulatory sacrifice; these sacrifices are Men themselves not Beasts, &c. Rom. 12. 1.

;;6. The thing itself which Christ offered to God his Father 〈◊〉 us. This was no creature, but himself concerning his humanity, Heb. 9. 12, 14, 23, 26. & 10. 10. 12, 26.

;;Sacrifices of the Law (not Sacraments of the Gospel) were never appointed of God to any such end, as to take sin away, (which is the peculiar office of Christ, Joh. 1. 29. 1 Tim. 1. 15.) but partly to discern the people of whom Christ must come from all other. 2. To try there obedience, and keep them from will-worship. 3. To be representations to remember them of redemption to come, by that only true meritorious sacrifice of Christ himself, and to nourish their faith in the promise of that redemption of his.

;;There be two main causes why the Sacrifices which God himself commanded, are so often by the Prophets condemned in the Jews.

• ;;First, because they performed their outward unreasonable oblations, without the inward and reasonable, as we may see in Isa. 1. & 58. & Psal. 50.
• ;;The second cause is for that they did think by their Sacrifices, not only to cloak and hide their hypocrisy and wickedness, as Jer. 7. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, &c. but also to give a price to God for their sins, Mat. 6. 6.

The Jews in their Sacrifice offered Beasts and Birds; the Beasts were the Ram, the Lamb, the Bullock and the Goat; the Birds were the Turtle, the Pigeon, and the Sparrow. In the Sacrifice of Leprosy, the beasts were to be without blemish, as it must not be lame, blind, nor sick, Lev. 26. 16. They might offer nothing that was defective, or redundant in any member, Lev. 21. 25. & 22. 23. The beast might not be sacrificed until it was eight days old, Lev. 22. 27. nor if it had lien with one of another kind, Lev. 19. 19. nor if it had killed a man, Exod. 20. 28. or if it were the price of a Whore, or of a Dog, Deut. 23. Every Sacrifice when it was offered to the Lord, was changed from the use in which it was before; and there was a destruction of the thing offered, living things were killed, liquid things were poured 〈◊〉 , and solid things were bruised and burnt, as corn. That which was living was cut down through the chine-bone of the back; whereunto the Apostle alludes, Heb. 4. 13. and Christ, 〈◊〉 . 24. 51. Every Sacrifice was salted with salt, Lev. 2. 13. So Mar. 9. 49. every Sacrifice must be salted with fire; the comparison betwixt the fire and the salt, is in eating out the corruption; and if they will not be this way salted, the Lord will salt them with another sort of fire, even the fire of his wrath. They might have no leaven in their Sacrifices, Lev. 2. 11. except in some few offerings of Thanksgiving, Lev. 7. 13. but in all other Sacrifices, he forbiddeth both honey and leaven, because honey fermenteth as leaven. This leaven figured sin of all sorts, both in doctrine and manners, Luk. 12. 1. Mat. 16. 6. 1 Cor. 5. 8.

A Sacrifice differeth from a Sacrament, in that a Sacrifice giveth unto God, but in a Sacrament we receive from God.

Sacrifice]

1 Sam. 9. 12. or, Feast, marg. Prov. 17. 1. or good cheer, marg.

Sacrifice]

;;Beasts 〈◊〉 and offered under the Law, to the honor of God, and for strengthening the faith of his people, in the Messiah to come, Heb. 10. 3, 5. also 5. 1.

;;2. Christ Jesus, the substance and truth of all Legal Sacrifices, Heb. 9. 26. & 10. 26.

;;3. Prayer, alms, works of piety and mercy, which are as a pleasant Sacrifice to God, Heb. 13. 15.

Sacrifice of the Gentiles]

;;The conversion of the Gentiles unto the faith of Christ, by the sound and diligent preaching of the Gospel, Rom. 15. 16.

;;Ministers have a Priesthood, and offer Sacrifices, but improperly, by a Metaphor or similitude to the Legal oblations, where bodies of beasts were offered, here in the Gospel the souls of Christians, by killing of their inward 〈◊〉 ; there in the Law the knife was material, here the knife is spiritual, the Gospel and the 〈◊〉 of it is the Oblation.

;;Let not the Papists complain of us, that we lack Sacrifices and Oblations, for we have such as Scripture everywhere commendeth, and God himself hath prescribed, whereby God is truly worshipped, and men saved; whereas their Sacrifice of the Mass is not once mentioned in Scripture, and is joined with horrible Idolatry, and cruel 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 .

Sacrifice greater]

;;A Sacrifice of more price and 〈◊〉 , Heb. 11. 4.

〈◊〉 sacrifice, Gen. 31. 54. or 〈◊〉 beasts, marg. The sorts of Sacrifices were,

• 1. 〈◊〉 , such as holy men did offer from Adam' s restauration to the Law, Gen. 4 4. & 8 20. & 46. 1.
• 2. Mosaical, such as God appointed under Moses unto 〈◊〉 , after their deliverance out of Egypt; whereof both the kinds, place, time, manner, by whom, for whom, for what sins, with the benefits, are particularized.
• 3. The Christian, Evangelical, real sacrifice, which is Jesus Christ, Eph. 5. 2. Heb 10. 10, 12, 14.
• 4. 〈◊〉 sacrifice, performed in thankfulness to God, 2 〈◊〉 . 2. 5. particularized in Psal. 51. 17. Rom. 12. 1. & 15. 16. Phil. 2. 17. & 4. 18. Heb. 13. 15, 16.
• 5. 〈◊〉 , Eccl. 5 1.

Sacrifice of righteousness]

;;A lawful, due, or righteous, Sacrifice, such as God himself 〈◊〉 , done in faith, according to the intendment of the Law, and with an upright heart. Psal. 4. 5. Offer the Sacrifices, &c.

To sacrifice]

;;To kill beasts for sacrifice, that he might give thanks for tidings of Joseph, and consult with God about his 〈◊〉 into Egypt, Gen. 46. 1.

To sacrifice unto Nets]

;;To ascribe Divine power unto ourselves, and to the instruments of our life. Hab. 1. 16. 〈◊〉 they sacrifice to their net. This is by putting confidence of our hearts in means, depending upon second causes, God being neglected.

Sacrifices for God]

;;Sacrifices, of Peace, or for Thanksgiving, Exod. 18. 12. which word of Peace is sometime added, as Ex. 24. 5. And Jethro with the Israelites keeping now a banquet before the Lord; it is to be meant of 〈◊〉 . See Lev. 7. 15.

Sacrifices of joy]

;;Joyful sacrifices offered with gladness, Psal. 27. 6.

Living Sacrifices]

;;Our selves, even our bodies and 〈◊〉 , being consecrate and given unto God. Rom. 12. 1. 〈◊〉 ye offer up your bodies a living sacrifice.

Sacrilege]

;;An usurping to ourselves by fraud and covetousenesse holy things, which are dedicated unto God, either by vow or course. Rom. 2. 22. Thou committest Sacrilege.

Sacrilege is coloured theft under some pretence of Law; it is spoken against, Mat. 3. 8. It is a robbing of God, Ibid. An unnatural sin, seeing he is our father, his Church our Mother. It was severely punished, Act. 5. 5. Mal. 3. 9. Josh. 7. 25, 26.

Sad]

Sorrowful, pensive, troubled, Gen. 40. 6. The Gr. translated troubled, and so the Hebr. importeth an eagerly discontent, and fretfull trouble of mind, Prov. 19 3. with a sad and lowering countenance, Dan. 1. 10. Ainsworth.

And art sad, Luk. 24. 17. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is properly the look of a wild beast, a Lion or a Bear robbed of her Whelps, grim and gastly, one would be afraid to look on them. Leigh Cr. Sac.

It's spoken of the countenance, 1 Sam. 1. 18. Nehem. 2. 2, 3. Mat. 6. 16. heart, Ezek. 13. 22. spirit, 1 King. 2 15.

Sadder]

Dan. 1. 10. 〈◊〉 worse liking. Comp. the text with the marg.

Saddle]

Luk. 15. 9. or thing to ride with, as the word generally signifieth, Ainsworth. Whereof Abraham, Gen. 2. 3. Balaam, Num. 22. 21. The Levite, and his Concubine, Judge. 19. 10. Achitophel, 2 Sam. 17. 23. Shimei, 1 King. 2. 40 The old Prophet in Bethel, 1 King. 13. 13. The man of God who came out of Judah to Bethel, 〈◊〉 . 23. The 〈◊〉 , 2 King. 4. 24. made use to ride with; as Ziba to carry thereon such provision as he brought unto 〈◊〉 , 2 Sam. 16. 1.

Saddle]

And saddled his Ass, Num. 22. 21. As Abraham being spoken to of God to sacrifice his Son, rose early in the morning and saddled his Ass, &c. showing his readiness to obey the Will of the Lord, though with the loss of his only Son, whom he loved: So Balaam here riseth in the morning, saddleth his Ass, &c. showing his greediness to get preferment, and the wages of iniquity, which he loved, though with the loss of the favor of God, (and in the end) of his own life. God's children run not so fast in the way of his commandments, when he enlargeth their heart, Psal. 119. 32. but the children of Satan run as fast to evil, and make hast to shed innocent blood, Isa. 59. 7. See Ps. 59. 4, 5. & Prov. 1. 16, 19. Ainsworth.

Sadducees]

Just man, Syr. cut, or schisms. A Sect among the Jews, so called from 〈◊〉 their first founder, he lived under 〈◊〉 Socheus, who succeeded Simeon the just; he was Antigonus his Scholar, and brought up in the doctrine of the Pharisees, but afterward fell from him, and broaches the heresy of the Sadducees.

Their errors were,

• 1. They rejected the Scripture, except the 5 Books of Moses, therefore Christ confutes them out of these books concerning the Resurrection, Matth. 22. 32. compared with Exod. 3. 6.
• 2. They denied any reward for good works, or punishment for evil in the world to come; wherefore Paul in his own defense, cried out, of the hope, i. e. of the reward expected, and of the Resurrection, from the dead, I am called in question, Act. 23. 6.
• 3. They denied the Resurrection, Act. 23. 8. Mat. 22. 23. Luk. 20. 27.
• 4. They denied Angels and Spirits, Act. 23. 8. Goodwin Moses and Aaron, p. 57, 58.

Sadly]

Wherefore look ye so sadly? Gen. 40. 7. Hebr. are your faces evil, marg.

Sadness]

is a passion of the soul, 1 King. 21. 5. Ezek. 13. 22. It manifests itself in the countenance, Gen. 40. 6, 7. Neh. 2. 1, 2, 3. Mat. 6. 16. It hath divers branches.

• 1. Pity, which is a grief for the evil that befalls others, as if it befell ourselves.
• 2. Envy, which is a sadness that we conceive for the good which befalleth others, wishing it were our own.
• 3. Heavyness, which grieves the mind, when it sees no way to escape.
• 4. Repentance, which is a sadness for by-past sins.
• 5. Zeal, which is a sadness arising from the dishonor of that which we have lost.

The object is, that which is unpleasant, Dan. 6. 14. Mat. 17. 23. & 26. 22. & 19. 22. 1 Thess. 4. 13. as,

• 1. Affliction, Heb. 12. 11. Jam. 5. 13. 1 Pet. 1. 6. 1 Sam. 1. 7, 8. Neh. 2. 1, 2, 3. Mat. 26. 37, 38.
• 2. Sin, as our own, 2 Cor. 2. 5, 7. and of others, Mat. 18. 31. Mar. 3. 5, 20. & 9. 2, 3.

The effects of it are,

• 1. It drieth up the bones, Prov. 17. 22.
• 2. Dejects the countenance, 1 Sam. 1. 8, 18. Nehem. 2. 2, 3.
• 3. It takes away sleep, Dan. 6. 18.
• 4. It often brings men into despair, as Cain, Saul, and Judas.
• 5. If it be sanctified, it worketh repentance unto salvation, 2 Cor. 7. 10.

Sadoc]

Just, or justified. The Father of Achim, 〈◊〉 . 1. 14.

Safe]

Peace, 〈◊〉 21. 9. marg. Prov. 18. 10. Heb. set aloft, marg. In health both of body and mind, Luk. 15. 27. Preserved from danger, Act. 23. 24. Necessary, profitable, Phil. 3. 1.

Safeguard]

1 Sam. 22. 23. A sure and safe condition under protection, free from danger.

Safely]

Lev. 26. 5. In confident safety, or in hopeful security. 〈◊〉 . 1 King. 4. 25. Heb. confidently, marg. Isa. 41. 3. Hebr. in peace marg.

Safety]

Is taken,

• I. For prosperity and outward happiness, 〈◊〉 . 3. 23. Job 11. 18. Isa. 14. 30. Hos. 2. 18. And so it is taken.
• • 1. For the abundance of outward blessings that God giveth unto the wicked, Job 24. 23.
  • 2. For external peace, Lev. 25. 18, 19. Jer. 49 31. Ezek. 34. 25.
• II. For freedom and immunity from fear, Psal. 78. 53. Lev. 25. 18, 19. Job 11 18. And thus it is taken,
• • 1. In an evil part, when it ariseth from a false confidence; as,
  • • 1 They that fear not an enemy, trusting to their own strength and wisdom, which commonly hath an evil success, Judge. 8. 11. & 18. 7, 10, 27. Jer. 49. 31. 〈◊〉 . 30. 9. Dan. 5. 1, 30, 31.
    • 2 They that are 〈◊〉 up with their own gifts, thinking themselves free from danger, and 〈◊〉 in their own condition, become careless; so that they are exposed to the assaults of 〈◊〉 and easily 〈◊〉 into sin; which happens both to 〈◊〉 , and the faithful, 〈◊〉 . 30. 7. compared with the business of Uriah, Mat. 26. 33, 34, 35. This should be shak'd off, Prov. 28. 14. 1 Cor. 10. 12. To remedy, to cure it, See Eph. 6. 11. 1 Pet. 5. 8.
  • 2. Those who being drunk with outward benefits, think they shall never have a change, Isa. 47. 8. Rev. 18. 7. Amos 6. 1. Luk. 17. 26, 27, 28. 1 〈◊〉 . 5. 3. Luk. 12. 18, 19, 20. and they who fear not the wrath and judgments of God against sin, and therefore continue and sleep in it, either being void of the fear of God, Jude 12. or persuading themselves, that God sees them not, Gen. 4. 9. Psal. 10. 11. & 64 5. & 73. 10. Jer. 12. 4. Lam. 3. 36.
  • Or, 2. In a good part, for an immunity from fear, arising from a holy confidence in God and his promises, Psal. 4. 9. & 16. 9 1 Joh. 3. 19.
  • 3. For protection, Psal. 22. 9. Isa. 32. 18.
• IV. For that that makes us safe, Heb. 6. 19. Phil. 3. 1. Safety is either of the body or the soul.

That of the body consists in three things.

• 1. Integrity. The loss of a member is contrary to it.
• 2. In the safety of the sense, when we are at ease; striking and wounding is contrary to it.
• 3. In safety and freedom from fear; as on the contrary, to bind one, or shut him up is pre judicial to safety; so that the body is safe when it receiveth no damage.

The safety of the Soul likewise consists in three things.

• 1. Lovingnesse; contrary to this is 〈◊〉 , with all his crew and retinue.
• 2. Joy; against which cometh that, as when a man is so dealt with, that he falleth in 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , into a drowsiness of the soul, that he taketh no delight in any good thing; or if he fall into Envy.
• 3. Peace, Gal. 5. 22. and that either.
• • 1. Within himself, in his thoughts; this safety is prejudged by Scandals.
  • 2. Or outward, between him and others; and this is broken or prejudged by contention and strife.

This safety of the Soul is called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , tranquility, and he that cometh against this tranquility, is an 〈◊〉 to the safety thereof: Whereas Esan matcheth himself against the consent of his Parents; Rebekah saith, I am weary of my life, Gen. 27. 46. because of the disquietness and vexation with the 〈◊〉 : This Job calls the bitterness of the soul, Job 10. 1. This is most plain, Gen. 45. 27. for there Jacob' s soul being dead by Joseph' s death, Simeon' s imprisonment, and Benjamin' s departure; it is said, that when news came that Joseph was alive, the spirit of Jacob revived within him; as if before by torments it had been dead: When any grief cometh to one, we call it the killing of the soul; and it cometh near unto it, Prov. 17. 22. where it is said, A broken spirit drieth the bones; and indeed it is the very diminishing of natural heat, and shortening of this life; and so contrary both to the safety of the soul, and the body. Andrew's Com. p. 732, 733.

Saffron]

Cant. 4. 14. An herb, which floweth (before its leaves are sprung out of the ground) in September, and after that it bringeth forth its grassie leaves, which do last until May; but in Summer neither flowers nor leaves are to be found. The root only remaineth alive, growing under ground, and bringing forth other small roots. It's very cordial, and profitable against many diseases.

Saffron]

;;A sweet Plant so called.

;;2. The faithful and the delectable fruits which they bring forth to God, represented by 〈◊〉 , Cant. 4. 14. Spicknard and Saffron. The like is to be said of Spikenard, Calamus, Camphire, &c.

Sail]

The cloth that is spread out about the 〈◊〉 of ships, to receive the wind, Isa. 23. 33. Act. 27. 17. Ezek. 27. 7.

To sail]

is always taken properly. The efficient cause is God, who taught Noah to make the Ark, Gen. 6. 14 and consequently the use of it, it may be gathered, Psal. 104. 26. For he orders it, Psal. 107. from verse. 24. to 31. The effect is riches, Deut. 33. 19. 1 King. 9. 26, 27, 28. The end is,

• 1. For Merchandise, Isa. 2. 16. & 23. 1.
• 2. For Fishing, Mat. 4. 21, 22.
• 3. For War, Dan. 11. 40.
• 4. For safety, Gen. 6. 14. Heb. 11. 7.

;;An holy one, or a person called to holiness, such is every faithful person, having the perfect holiness of Christ, put upon him by imputation of faith, and the quality of imperfect holiness poured into his heart by the Spirit of sanctification Psal. 16. 2. To the Saints which are in earth, Psal. 132. 12. All godly 〈◊〉 Jews, Dan. 7. 18. Eph. 1. 1.

;;2. The holy Angels. Deut. 33. 2. He cometh with thousands of his Saints; that is, with innumerable Angels. One Angel in 〈◊〉 , ch. 9. 〈◊〉 .

;;3. The whole body of a particular, visible, Church, consisting of good and evil, of private and public persons, set appart to administer holy things, and all professing holiness, Phil. 1. 1. Eph. 1. 17. 1 Cor. 1. 2. Saints by calling.

Saints]

Fellow-citizens with the Saints, Eph. 2. 19. That 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 , here signifies the Jews, will appear by the 〈◊〉 to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , strangers before, for in respect to the Jews it was that they were called strangers, they being the only people of God before, and 〈◊〉 the Gentiles that were but 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , strangers (vulgarly known by that name) being received in to be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , fellow-citizens, With whom? Why with the same, to whom they were strangers, i. e. the Jews. Dr. Ham Annot. b.

Necessity of the Saints]

;;The uses of poor believers. Rom. 12. 13. Communicate to the necessity of the Saints. The meaning is not, that we should stay from giving till extreme want of the poor do urge us unto it; but our love is to prevent that, by communicating to their behoovefull uses. This communicateing implieth these things.

• ;;1. That the needy Saints have a fellowship and interest both in our goods, as touching the use, (every man's property reserved entire) and also in our affections, because we are bound to relieve them with a fellow-feeling of their wants.
• ;;2. That the rich givers are reciprocally and mutually to be made partakers of the fruit which cometh through the prayers of the faithful poor, as they are partakers of the goods of their Brethren.

;;Again, the former words have three special motives unto Christian liberality toward the poor Saints.

• ;;First, the compassion of necessity.
• ;;Secondly, the love of sanctity, or holiness.
• ;;Thirdly, the 〈◊〉 and benefit of the communion of Saints.

;;To which if we add three more:

• ;;1. The straight commandment of God, often repeated.
• ;;2. The precious and manifold promises made unto mercifulness in alms-giving.
• ;;3. The examples of the godly which have shown themselves liberal, yea bountiful even beyond ability sometime, Act. 2. &. 4. 2 Cor. 8. 3. Then ye have a sixfold cord to draw you to this duty.

For the perfecting of the Saints]

;;Their restoring to that 〈◊〉 by the Word of grace, being before out of happiness by corruption of nature, Eph. 4. 10, 11. The Greek word in the text signifies two things.

• ;;1. To restore and set things fallen in the proper place, as Gal. 1. 16.
• 2. To be more and more perfect and stablished in that estate, 1 Cor. 1. 10.

The words 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signify,

• 1. To mend or sew that which is rent, Mar. 1. 19.
• 2. To restore and make whole, and to set in it's own place. A Metaphor taken from Physicians, who set members out of joint into their natural place, whereunto the Apostle alludes, Gal. 6. 1.
• 3. To form and join in one body, thus the Apostle speaks of the reprobate, Rom. 9. 22. A Metaphor taken from Potters, who use to frame their pots into divers forms, according to their several uses appointed by them; thus the Apostle, 1 Cor. 1. 10. while he exhorts the Saints unto concord and unity, earnestly beseeches them that they would all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among them, but that they be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , i. e. perfectly joined together, and united in the same mind; like the whole consisting of several parts, fitly agreeing among themselves: unto this last signification the perfection of the Saints is most agreeable. So that it is nothing else but their spiritual compaction and conjunction both with Christ by faith, and their conformity unto his image, being joined among themselves mutually, by the bond of love not only in affection, but likewise judgment, concerning things especially belonging to faith, and religion, whereby true peace is entertained and nourished among them.

This perfection is brought to pass two ways:

• 1. By the accession of new members unto the head by faith, and unto the body by love.
• 2. By the progress and growth in grace, of these who are already joined to the head and the rest of the body, Eph. 2. 21. Bodius on the Eph. p. 511. 2. 512. 1.

Salt]

;;A creature, whose property is sharpness, and the effect, to kill corruption.

;;2. The doctrine of the Word, because it seasoneth, not only the corrupt manners and conversations of men, but the rotten heart within, even corrupt reason, and will, that all may become savoury to God. Mat. 5. 13. Ye are the salt of the earth. Ministers are so called in respect of their Doctrine, Mar. 9. 49 Christians must be seasoned with the Word ere they can consecrate themselves to God, to be a pleasant sacrifice to him.

;;3. Godly wisdom, which seasoneth our communication (as salt doth meat) Col. 4. 9. Let your speech be powdered with salt.

;;4. Christ, by whom all that believe in him are made savoury and pleasing to God. Lev. 2. 13. Upon all thine offerings thou shalt bring salt.

Salt, it was used in the Ceremonial worship, Lev. 2. 13. Esdr. 6. 9. & 7. 22. to signify the incorruptibility and eternity of God's covenant; a symbol, whereof were the Sacrifices; or, to signify our flying corruption both in doctrine and manners. It was used for infants newly born, to dry up the redundant humors, Ezek. 16. 4. Elisha by it cureth the naughty waters, 2 King. 2. 20, 21, 22. It makes, the ground barren, Job 39. 9. Psalm 107. 34. Jer. 17. 6.

The Covenant of salt]

;;A firm, sure and uncoruptible Covenant, which lasts forever. Numb. 18. 19. It is a perpetual Covenant of salt to the Lord.

Salt sea]

Gen. 14. 3. or sea of salt; meaning, that this goodly Valley, after it was burnt from heaven, became a salt sea, and so barren and fruitless, that no living thing, fish or other, was found therein; for so all Histories testify of that salt and dead sea, as is was also called. Ainsworth.

To be salted with fire and salt]

;;That neither the persons of men, nor their actions can relish well, and be pleasing to God, till by fire and salt; that is, the incoruptible Word, and wholesome Doctrine therein contained, they be seasoned and changed (sinful corruptions, soulputrefactions, infidelity and sin being eaten out, and in part consumed. Mar. 9. 49. All men shall be salted with fire, and every Sacrifice shall be salted with fire. Here is an allusion to the Levitical Law and Custom.

To sow salt]

;;To make the ground barten, or unapt to bring forth anything, by casting salt upon it. Judge. 9. 45. He destroyed the City, and sowed salt in it.

Saltnesse]

This is used for Barrenness, Psal. 107. 34. Comp. the text with the marg.

But if it hath lost his saltness, Mar. 9. 50. if Ministers, who should season others have lost their ability thereto; who shall mend them? Annot

Salu]

An exaltation, or treading underfoot. The Father of Zimri, Numb. 25. 14.

Salvation]

;;Outward safety, victory 〈◊〉 deliverance from outward dangers and enemies. Exod. 14. 13. Behold the salvation of the Lord. Psal. 3. 8. & 51. 12. The joy of his salvation. This is a large signification; as Psal. 12. 1. & 98. 1. & 118. 15. Gen. 49. 18. The Tribe of Dan in two respects had need of God's deliverance.

• ;;1 For their inheritance, Judge. 1. verse. 34. Josh. 19. 47.
• ;;2. For religion, Judge. 18.

;;2. The state of blessed and happy life, as touching the entrance into it, when we begin first to believe and repent. Luk. 19. 9. This day salvation is come to thine house. Eph. 2. 8. Luk. 1. 77. As there is no other Savior but Jesus, so our salvation in whole, and every part is from the merit of his own sufferings and works, done in his own self.

;;3. The perfection of blessed and happy life, as our glorification in heaven. Hereof there are two degrees:

• ;;The first is, at the time of our death, when the soul being loosed from the body is carried by elect Angels into the third heavens, Luk. 16. 22.
• ;;The second degree is at the day of the resurrection, when our whole person body and soul shall be received up into heaven with Christ, into everlasting bliss, Heb. 1. 14. Which shall be the heirs of salvation. Rom. 5. 10. & 13. 11.

;;4. Our blessed life, both as touching the entrance and perfection, the beginning and end of it (even our full happiness) Heb. 2. 3. If we neglect so great salvation. Rom. 5. 10. 2. Thess. 2. 15. No part of this salvation is merited by Works of grace, which we do, but from Christ's works in his own person.

;;5. The author of salvation. Psal. 27. 1. The Lord is my salvation. Isa. 12. 2. & 17. 10.

;;6. The person of him who is our alone Savior. Luk. 2. 30. Mine eye hath seen thy salvation; that is, him which by thy decree bringeth, worketh, and giveth salvation, or the person appointed to be our Savior.

Salvation taken spiritually, is more then life simply, for God liveth, yet he is not saved: It is then such a life as miserable for lorn man obtaineth; therefore the holy Ghost calleth that happiness that a man should have obtained by keeping the Law, life, not salvation; but the happiness we get by the Gospel, salvation; it is called both God's and ours; God's, Psal. 70. 5. & 21. 2. because it comes from God; but chiefly it is called Ours, because we are partakers of it by Christ.

Salvation]

Psal. 144. 10. or Victory, marg.

Salvation]

;;Our glorification begun by remission of sins and sanctification, when we first believe in Christ, Heb. 2. 3. that is, the means of it. So he calls the doctrine of the Gospel, metaphorically from the effect, (saith Pareus ) because faith in the Gospel brings to us eternal salvation. For the Gospel is the power of God to salvation to every believer. Leighs Annot.

;;2. Glorification, complete and perfect, when the Saints being raised again, do possess heavenly blessedness, Heb. 9. 26.

Salvation]

;;Safety of the people of God, by their deliverance from cruel Tyrats, who sought to destroy their bodies and from Satan's malicious power, who would kill their souls. Revel. 12. 10. Now is come salvation, &c. This is the 〈◊〉 of victory, which the Church, and multitude of Saints on the earth, sing to God's praise like to that in Exod. 15. 1, 2, &c. Jude v. 5. 1 Sam. 2. 6, 7.

;;2. The praise due to God, for salvation given unto his Church. Revel. 19. Salvation and honor, and glory to our God.

The praise of our deliverance belongeth to our God; for we cannot deliver, nor could have delivered ourselves, verse. 12. Psal. 3. 8. Jonah 2. 9. Annot.

Now is the day of salvation, 2 Cor. 6. 2. Now the time is approaching, that the true pure Christian profession, thus long persecuted by the Jews and Gnostics so sharply (by which means it comes to pass that many daily fall off to save themselves) shall suddenly have respite by the destruction of the enemies everywhere. Dr. Hammon. Annot. a.

Having salvation, Zech. 9. 9. or saving himself, marg.

Helmet of salvation]

;;Either that Savior Jesus himself, or that salvation and deliverance which Jesus purchased from sin and death, to be as an Helmet on our head to defend us against spiritual assults. Eph. 6. 17. And take the Helmet of salvation, &c.

Helmet of salvation. Hope, 1 Thess. 5. 8. So called by a Metonymy of the Effect, because it bringeth salvation to them that wear it, for we are saved by hope, Rom. 8. 24.

Salvation of the Jews]

;;The oracles of life, and Covenant of salvation, not only to have been committed unto, but to have been derived to other people of the world from the Jews, of whom came Christ also, in knowledge of whom stands all true salvation, Joh. 4. 22. See Isa. 5. 3. & Psal. 110. 2. Luk. 24. 47. Rom. 9 5.

Our salvation is nearer, Rom. 13. 11. Salvation here signifies the deliverance of the believing Jews, or Christians, out of persecutions, which (after the example of Christ) befell them in the first age, and from which they were delivered, partly by the great act of vengeance from Christ upon the Jews the crucifiers of him, and persecutors of his followers; and partly by their departing generally out of Judea, before that destruction, befell the Jews; and partly by the halcyo nan days which under Vespasian were allowed the Christians after this time in all places. Dr. Hammond Annot. c.

Salvation prepared]

It is prepared,

• 1. By pre-ordination, Mat. 25. 34.
• 2. By creation, when the Lord made. the heaven of heavens, Prov. 8. 27.
• 3. By the sending of Christ, Joh. 3. 16. Heb. 5. 7, 8, 9. Eph. 1. 14.
• 4. By regeneration, 1 Pet. 1. 3.
• 5. By justification, Luk. 1. 77. Rev. 19. 7, 8. Eph. 1. 5, 6.
• 6. By our resurrection. Byfield on Pet. p. 49.

Salvation ready to be revealed]

It is revealed to the godly, Joh. 17. 6. By the Word, 2 Tim. 3. 15. and the Spirit, 1 Cor. 2. 10.

It is revealed,

• I. in this life.
• • 1. By negation; for we know there shall be no sin, nor sorrow, nor temptation, in heaven.
  • 2. In respect of assurance by faith and hope.
  • 3. In respect of the first fruits of it, and beginnings in saving graces.
• II. At the last day, 3 ways,
• • 1. By the voice of Christ, Mat. 25. 34.
  • 2. God will perfect and enlarge the understanding of the elect, to a full conceiving of the wroth of heavenly joys.
  • 3. In the possession of it, Ib.

To work out salvation]

;;To go forward diligently, and constantly to perservere in the course of salvation, wherein they were now settled. Phil. 2. 12. Work out, or make an end of your salvation, &c. Papists do think to have help from this Text, to uphold their rotten building of Freewill in matters of salvation, as if it were a forcible efficient cause of salvation, or a partner of it self with the holy Ghost in doing good works. Whereas this is but an exhortation to show what we ought to do, not to declare what we are able to do. Moreover, albeit it is we which will, when we do will; and we which do, when we do do, yet seeing it is written in verse. 13. that God worketh both will and deed, therefore Free-will of it own force worketh nothing, willeth nothing toward the pleasing of God, and attaining of salvation, but so far as God doth make it able to will, and to work.

;; Note. There be sundry things which accompany salvation, Heb. 6. to witness it to us: As suffering of afflictions, and good works, which be not grounds and causes of our salvation, as the free promise of God, the merit of Christ's passion and death, the Spirit of faith. The Papists do unskilfully confound these things. Also we are further to note that Salvation, when it signifieth the first entry thereunto, namely the remission of sins, and justification, with newness of life, then good works are not necessarily required thereunto; because ones sins must be forgiven ere good works can be done: but when Salvation is put for Eternal life here-after to be possessed in heaven, then good works are needful (not as a meritorious cause, but) as a mean 〈◊〉 way wherein to walk thither.

Salutation]

Ought not to be neglected, for

• 1. It is commanded, Mat. 10. 12.
• 2. The Apostles and other Saints have used it.
• 3. It is a sign of love.

It is taken improperly for conference; hence that of the Prophet, 2 King. 4. 29. 〈◊〉 one by the way, i. e. make haste, delay not, Luk. 10. 4. For otherwise, Salutations. which are 〈◊〉 of love and courtesy are not forbidden. 2 〈◊〉 , 1 To embrace familiarly, and friendly, Act. 18. 21. & 25. 13. 2 Sam. 8. 10. 2 〈◊〉 honor one. So the 〈◊〉 loved 〈◊〉 in the Markets, Mat. 23. 7. Mar. 12. 38. Luk. 11. 43.

To 〈◊〉 ]

;;To wish and pray from God with hearty good will for the health and salvation of others. It is the 〈◊〉 with Great, Rom. 16. 6, 7, 8, &c. We ought to be careful for the 〈◊〉 even of such as be far distant from us.

Samaritan]

Joh. 8. 48. This title of Samaritan here, is by way of reproach affixt on Christ, not that they thought him so, but because this was an odious name among the Jews; so as Idolaters, Levite. 25. 47. are called 〈◊〉 , or 〈◊〉 , because the Syrians were anciently such; and thus all cruel men we call Turks; and covetous Jews; not that we think they are such naturally but that they are like unto them. Or else, because Christ had conversed with the Samaritan women, which was against the Jewish rule, Joh. 4. 9. He is thought to be a 〈◊〉 of the Jewish law, and so to be one of them. Dr. Ham. Annot. d.

Samaritans]

Keepers, marvelous hard, thorny places, or dregs. Citizens of Samaria a 〈◊〉 kind of people gathered together of strangers, they corrupted the worship of God, mingling it with their Heathenish Rites, 2 King. v. 25. to 35. They were accounted profane by the Jews, who would have no fellowship with them, Joh. 4. 9. and therefore there was great enmity between them, Luk. 9. 52, 53. & Joseph. lib. 2. of the Jewish War, cap. 11.

And herein he was a type of Christ, who by his death procured deliverance to his people, destroyed his and their enemies.

Samuel]

Heard of God. Because his Mother sought him of God, and he heard her, 1 Sam. 1. 20. Offered to God by his Mother, 1 Sam. 1. 22. Acceptable to God and men, Ibid. 2. 26. A faithful Prophet, Ibid. 3. 20. The Lord sent him to deliver the people, Ibid. 12. 11. The Lord hears his prayer for the people, Ibid. 7. 6. Judgeth Israel, v. 15. Builds an Alter, v. 17. He is commended, Heb. 11. 32, 33. He annointeth Saul, 1 Sam. 10. 1. and mourns for him, 1 Sam. 15. 11, 35. Heweth Agag in pieces, Ibid. 33. Annoynts David, Ib. 16. 1, 2. He dieth, and is lamented, 1 Sam. 24. 1.

Yea, and all the Prophets from Samuel, Act. 3. 24. The account of the Prophets is here begun from Samuel because the schools of the Prophets were first instituetd and erected by him, and not that there was no Prophet before him, 1 Sam. 19. 20. as after, Elias was, 2 King. 2. 3. &c. and after him Elisha. 〈◊〉 Sons of the prophets spent their time in studying the Law, and praising and serving of God; and of them, because (though some were, yet) all were not called by God to the Prophetick office, sent of messages to the people, therefore it's here added, as many as spake, i. e. as many as out of the schools of the Prophets, were by God called to that public office, foretold what was now come to pass. Dr. Hammond Annot. c.

Sanballat]

A bramble hid in secret. Neh. 2. 10. & 13 28.

Sanctification]

;;A freedom from the tyranny of sin, into the liberty of holiness begun here, and daily to be increased till we be perfect. 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ is made to us of God sanctification.

;;2. The separation of things or persons from common or profane use, that they may remain holy unto the Lord for a time, or forever. This belongs to the Priests, Levites, and Ceremones of the Law, &c. This is Ceremonial Sanctification, whereof in Exod. and Levite. 11. 43, 44.

;;3. The whole work of grace, whereby sinners of the children of wrath and bondslaves of Satan are consecrated and dedicated unto God (being purged and cleansed in the blood of Christ that they may become his children and true worshippers. In this sense, it comprenends regeneration, reconciliation, justification, and adoption. 1 Pet. 1. 2. Elect 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . This is universal Sanctification, comprehending the whole work of grace.

;;4. That peculiar work of the Spirit, creating in the Elect (converted souls) that new quality of holiness, whereby they can in some measure truly hate their own sins with firm purpose to leave them, and love God's Law, with resolution to do it in some good measure. 1 Cor. 6. 11. Justified and sanctified. 2 Thess. 2. 13. Through the santification of the Spirit. This is Sanctification particular, and inherent, and peculiar to the elect, who by it are brought to Salvation. This Sanctification hath two parts, Mortification of sin and vivification of the spirit, or new man, Col. 3. 5, 11. Eph. 2. 4. Rom. 8. 12, 13; 14. It is begun here, and perfected in heaven.

;;In holy Scripture divers names be given to Sanctification; it is named, Santification of the Spirit, 1 Pet. 1. 2. 2 Thess. 2. 13. Regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost, Joh. 3. 3. Tit. 3. 5. in respect of God the efficient and chief worker, but in resepct of elect sinners, in whom this grace is wrought, it is named, Repentance, Newnesse of life, Obedience, Righteousness, Holiness, Act. 26. 18, 30. Luk. 24. 47. Rom. 6. 16, 18, 22. Lastly in respect of God and men together, it is styled, Conversion, Act. 15. 3. Being converted of God, we are also commanded and said in Scripture to convert ourselves, and to sanctify ourselves, Jer. 35. 13. 1 Joh. 3. 3.

;;Sanctification is so necessarily joined unto Justification, as yet it is a grace diverse from the grace of Justification.

• ;;1. Justification is an absolution of a sinner from the guilt of sin and death; whereas Sanctification is an alteration of qualities from evil to good.
• ;;2. Justification consists in remision of sins and imputation of justice for the obedience of Christ; Sanctification is renovation of nature.
• ;;3. Justification is perfect in this life, so is not sanctification.
• ;;4. Justification, is in nature before sanctification, but not in order of time.
• ;;5. The perfect purity of Christ's human nature, reckoned unto believers by free imputation of faith, 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ is Made unto us sanctification. This is sanctification imputed.
• ;;6. The work of general Illumination and Reformation. Heb. 10. 29. Wherewith he was sanctified. This is 〈◊〉 Sanctification, common to Reprobation.

Spirit of Sancttification]

;;Both the work of killing our corrupt Nature, and raising it up to holiness; and the author of this work, to wit, the holy Spirit, 1 Pet. 1. 2. Elect unto sanctification of the Spirit; that is, unto that Sanctification which the Spirit worketh, setting us apart from the wicked world, and dedicating us to God, which is one end of election, as touching us; but not the last, which is our salvation in heaven, and God's 〈◊〉 , Eph. 1. 12.

God is said to sanctify himself, when he will declare his glory and vindicate his honor from the blasphemies of the wicked, Numb. 20. 13. Ezek. 26. 23.

He sanctifieth himself in the Wicked by pouring his heavy judgments upon them for their sins, Lev. 10. 3. Isa. 5. 16. Ezek. 28. 22. And in the Elect, by restoring his worship unto them, Ezek. 20. 41. or by his gracious deliverances, Ezek. 28. 25. & 39. 27.

;; 〈◊〉 to men ]

;;To acknowledge holy. Mat. 6. 9. 〈◊〉 be thy name, or hallowed; when we acknowledge something to be holy which before was so in itself, Lev. 10. 3. 〈◊〉 . 5. 16.

;;2. To apply to such holy and divine use as God appointed. Command. 4. Exod. 20. 8. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 my Sabbath; that is, employ it to the holy uses for which I have ordained it.

;;3. To separate and set apart one to do the office of Mediator, and to endow him with sufficient author and gifts, Joh. 10. 36.

;;4. To offer himself freely unto his Father, an holy and expiatory sacrifice; by merit thereof to purchase for his elect people remission of sins, perfect 〈◊〉 and the holy Ghost that they might become holy both by imputing to them his holy oblation and by sanctification or holiness infused into their hearts, to will and work things pleasing to God, Joh. 17. 29. 〈◊〉 their sakes do I sanctify myself.

;;5. To procure, offer, and give glory to the holy name of God, Numb. 20. 12. Deut. 32. 51.

;;6. To be acknowledged and worshiped as one most holy, Lev. 10. 3. & 22. 32.

;;7. To perfect holiness begun, more and more renewing unto holiness such as be already cleansed by the Spirit. Joh. 17. 17. Sanctify them with thy truth.

;;To Sanctify, four manner of ways (for the most part) is used in Scripture.

• ;;1. To confess and celebrate that to be holy, which in itself is first holy, Mat. 6. 9. and wheresoever God is said to be sanctified.
• ;;2. To make holy some persons, being impure before, 1 Pet. 1. 2. and wheresoever the elect is said to be sanctified.
• ;;3. To separate and elect some things or persons from a common use, unto an holy use; as the Tabernacle, Temple, Priests, Altars, Sacrifices, &c. under the Law of Moses.
• ;;4. To intend and apply a thing to divine and sacred works, or to keep an holy vacation and rest. In this and the former sense is the seventh day said to be sanctified, as Gen. 2. 3. Command. 4.

• 2. Putatively.
• 3. Or at most, by way of Disposition. Leighs Annot.

Sanctified]

;;Heb. 2. 11. Both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. By sanctify here understand not only the renewing of our natures, but also our justification, chap. 9. 9. & 10. 10. Eph. 5. 26. by both which the Prince of our Salvation brings sons unto glory; or, Christ's consecrating us unto his Father, Rev. 1. 6. both he and we being of one mass or lump, or of the same nature. It is conceived by some that this rule is taken from the manner of sanctifying under the Old Testament, under which the High Priest and those whom he sanctified were of one and the same nature; and so the firstlings and first fruits were of the same nature with the whole flock and crop which was sanctified in them. Annot. Heb. 10. 10. by the which will we are sanctified, that is, freed from the guilt of our sins and consecrated to God's service. Annot.

Some Interpreters suppose they have espied a farther mystery in this sea sand, which signifies (as they deem) the truth of Doctrine, which is as a shore or 〈◊〉 , whence to behold the arising and offspring of that Beast after spoken of, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to that. See ch. 15. 2. They which got the victory of the 〈◊〉 , stood at the glassie Sea.
