| testament : jews jews: testament Complete text of 61128693:But considering the Inscriptions, or Titles of their Books, it is manifest enough, that the whole Scripture of the Old testament , was set forth in the form we have it, after the return of the jews from their Captivity in Babylon, and before the time of Ptolemaeus Philadelphus, that caused it to bee translated into Greek by seventy men, which were sent him out of Judea for that purpose Complete text of 61128718:For the Book of Genesis, deriveth the Genealogy of Gods people, from the creation of the World, to the going into Egypt: the other four Books of Moses, contain the Election of God for their King, and the Laws which hee prescribed for their Government: The Books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and Samuel, to the time of Saul, describe the acts of Gods people, till the time they cast off Gods yoke, and called for a King, after the manner of their neighbour nations; The rest of the History of the Old testament , derives the succession of the line of David, to the Captivity, out of which line was to spring the restorer of the Kingdome of God, even our blessed Saviour God the Son, whose coming was foretold in the Bookes of the Prophets, after whom the Evangelists writt his life, and actions, and his claim to the Kingdome, whilst he lived one earth: and lastly, the Acts, and Epistles of the Apostles, declare the coming of God, the Holy Ghost, and the Authority he left with them, and their successors, for the direction of the jews , and for the invitation of the Gentiles Complete text of 61128866:And as the Gentiles did vulgarly conceive the Imagery of the brain, for things really subsistent without them, and not dependent on the fancy; and out of them framed their opinions of Daemons, Good and Evill; which because they seemed to subsist really, they called Substances; and because they could not feel them with their hands, Incorporeall: so also the jews upon the same ground, without any thing in the Old testament that constrained them thereunto, had generally an opinion, (except the sect of the Sadduces,) that those apparitions (which it pleased God sometimes to produce in the fancie of men, for his own service, and therefore called them his Angels) were substances, not dependent on the fancy, but permanent creatures of God; whereof those which they thought were good to them, they esteemed the Angels of God, and those they thought would hurt them, they called Evill Angels, or Evill Spirits; such as was the Spirit of Python, and the Spirits of Mad-men, of Lunatiques, and Epileptiques: For they esteemed such as were troubled with such diseases, Daemoniaques Complete text of 61129300:Of Prophets, that were so by a perpetuall Calling in the Old Testament, some were Supreme, and some Subordinate: Supreme were first Moses; and after him the High Priest, every one for his time, as long as the Priesthood was Royall; and after the people of the jews , had rejected God, that he should no more reign over them, those Kings which submitted themselves to Gods government, were also his chief Prophets; and the High Priests office became Ministeriall Complete text of 61129410:and in the New testament there was but one onely mark; and that was the preaching of this Doctrine, That Jesus Is The Christ, that is, the King of the jews , promised in the Old testament Complete text of 61129941:And therefore so far forth as concerneth the Old testament , we may conclude, that whosoever had the Soveraignty of the Common-wealth amongst the jews , the same had also the Supreme Authority in matter of Gods externall worship; and represented Gods Person; that is the person of God the Father; though he were not called by the name of Father, till such time as he sent into the world his Son Jesus Christ, to redeem mankind from their sins, and bring them into his Everlasting Kingdome, to be saved for evermore Complete text of 61130349:" The Scriptures here mentioned were the Scriptures of the jews , that is, the Old testament Complete text of 61130377:Every of the Evangelists was Interpreter of his own Gospel; and every Apostle of his own Epistle; And of the Old testament , our Saviour himselfe saith to the jews (John 5 Complete text of 61130438:The Old testament , When Made Canonicall From whence we may inferre, that the Scriptures of the Old testament , which we have at this day, were not Canonicall, nor a Law unto the jews , till the renovation of their Covenant with God at their return from the Captivity, and restauration of their Common-wealth under Esdras Complete text of 61130541:Besides these Magisteriall employments in the Church, namely Apostles, Bishops, Elders, Pastors, and Doctors, whose calling was to proclaim Christ to the jews , and Infidels, and to direct, and teach those that beleeved we read in the New testament of no other Complete text of 61130833:It is evident that the Prophets of the Old testament foretold, and the Jews expected a Messiah, that is, a Christ, that should re-establish amongst them the kingdom of God, which had been rejected by them in the time of Samuel, when they required a King after the manner of other Nations Complete text of 61131227:By the name of Christ, is understood the King, which God had before promised by the Prophets of the Old testament , to send into the world, to reign (over the jews , and over such of other nations as should beleeve in him) under himself eternally; and to give them that eternall life, which was lost by the sin of Adam Complete text of 61131274:" Our Saviour here speaketh of the Scriptures onely of the Old testament ; for the jews at that time could not search the Scriptures of the New testament , which were not written Complete text of 61132064:The Names Of Sacerdotes, And Sacrifices Fourthly, the giving to their Priests (which is no more in the New Testament but Presbyters, that is, Elders) the name of Sacerdotes, that is, Sacrificers, which was the title of the Civill Soveraign, and his publique Ministers, amongst the jews , whilest God was their King |
