308 The Gofpel of the Legal Purifications& So here is a Heifer, a red Heifer, a Heiferwithout Spot, and one up- on which never carne Yoke. 2. Confider the 4ttions and Ceremonies about the Heifer, which were alfo very fignificant, and full of fpiritual Myftery. Not to infift up- on the bringing of her to the Prieff, which was common to all the, Sacrifices, there were four efpecially Remarkable. r . That the muff be fain without the Camp. 2. TheBlood fprinkled feven times towards the Tabernacle. 3. The body burnt with Cedar, Scarlet and Hyfòp, can into the. Fire. 4. The Afhes referved to make an holy Water to fprinkle the Un clean. T. This Heifer mutt be flain without the Car This is required. Numb. t9. 3. This Ceremony was required allo ha the Sin-Offering, Cap. 4..12. This is expounded at large by the Apoftie, Heh. 13. la, I 1, 12, 13, 14. We havean Altar whereofthey have no right to eat, which firve the Tabernacle, For the Bodies of thofe L'eafts, whofe Blood is brought . into the Sanctuary by the High Prieft for Sin, are burnt without the Camp. Wherefore fefus al/o, that he might fanl ify the People with his own Blood, Pilfered without theGate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the Camp, bearing bvs Reproach. For here bave we no continuing City, but we . feek one to come. Some Sacrifices were to be eaten ; but other Sacrifices, the Sin- Offering, and this of the Heifer for Purifications, they were not to eat them,, but to kill them,, and burn them without the Camp This fhews, that they which ferve the Temple, which adhere to old legal carnal Ways, they have no right to eat of the Altar, faith the Apoillle ; they that ferve the. Tabernacle, that adhere to Mots, and to thole things that are of Mens Wifdom and Invention (as all Moires his Ce- remonies now are, being abolifhed by God. And therefore now to adhere to them, and to ferve the Tabernacle, is to follow our own Wifdom, and Worfhip God according to our own Pleafure) Each aay.e no right to eat of the Altar; they have no right to Jefus Chrift, in that they keep not to the Purity of his own Inffitutions. Again, Jefus Chrift did fuller without the Gate, which was prefi- gured by their carrying this Heifer out, there to he fain. So they carried Jefus Chrift out to Golgotha, there they Crucified him, fo that it was fulfilled in Chrift in a very manifeft way. For that he fuf fered without the.. City, as this Heifer was to be flair; without the Camp.
