Church, to redeem and give new Life to Men; to the Holy Ghost to lead, or drive, to comfort and fanctify them, to infpire the Prophets to reveal Things paft, and to come, to write, fo record the Scriptures; and whatever elfe is afcribed to each Perfon in Scripture. And I fhall fhew, under other Words, in the typical Actions, that cach Perfon acted his Part in the Irradiation; and that the Perfon represented by the Irradiation of Light was the Glory, when I come to explain them below.

As this glorious Action of redeeming Man was not in the Power of any other Being; as this was the Action by which the Wisdom, Power, Goodness, &c. of the Aleim towards Men appeared to his intelligent Creatures, Angels and Men (if I might be permitted to judge) more than in creating this Syftem and Man, and which was expected to produce Admiration, Love, &c. in Men; and with relation to the two Parts, the Types, and the Completion, 2 Cor. iii. 9. For if the Miniftration of Condemnation be Glory, much more doth the Miniftration of Righteoufnefs exceed in Glory; if there had been no Opposers, this Act, in the common Acceptation of the Word, might have been called their Glory, and he that

performed it the Glory. But in a stronger Senfe; after the Devil, that Hierarchy of fallen Angels, in Envy to the Man who was to have that Glory, had made Aleim of the Names, afcribed the Gift of fuch Powers to them, as would have fecured Man from falling, and tempted Eve to acknowledge the Power of giving fuch Gifts to them, and thereby separated Man from the true Aleim, made him fubject to Death, &c and after, upon this Scheme, the Heathens univerfally made the Names Aleim, afcribed all the material Actions in the Names to them, and imagined that there was Power in them to redeem Men, and make them happy hereafter; so made the Names Ufurpers of the fole Prerogative of the Glory of Jehovah Aleim, and their Rivals; poffeffed them of the only Tribute Jehovah requires of his Creatures, and of that which only can qualify the Creatures for future Happiness; as the Contest between the Jews and Heathens was, who or what were the Aleim, who had covenanted and fworn to deliver them here, and to redeem them for hereafter, the Name or Attribute of this Perfon and this Power in the Name, is in infinite Numbers of Places reclaimed; under yp Gen. i. 8. The Aleim called the Expansion the C 2

Names.

Names. Job xxxvii. 18. Canft thou like him give an expansive Power to the Ethers, (Strugglers) which are strong as molten Glafs. Pfal. cl. 1.

16. Afcribe Glory to Jehovah your A-

Upon any great Occafion or Manifesta-

or the Property of them, especially the Delivery of the Believers here, or the Redemption of them then afterwards, and for hereafter, were neceffary to be afferted, or were called in queftion; as upon the Fall of Man, when Promises were made of Chrift, and Redemption by him, to Abraham and his Adherents, as we suppose, under Perfecution in Mefopotamia; when the Jews were to be delivered from the Egyptians; when the Terms of Redemption were renewed to the Jews; when the new Tabernacle by Appointment was fet up; when the Jews were to be miraculoufly fupported with Food and Water in the Wilderness; when they had finished the first Temple; when they were in the Babylonish Captivity; upon the Birth of Chrift; upon his Transfiguration; upon the Descent of the Holy Ghoft; upon the Converfion of St. Paul: Befides other Miracles, this Glory, was fupernaturally exhibited in Miniature, emblematically by an Irradiation of Light, fometimes in a Cloud, fometimes without in the Air; and, that it might be diftinguished from the Light of the Sun, and that its Figure and Motion might be more perfpicuous, its Rays are faid to be near the Colour, and its Motion quick like Fire.
