XLV. Chap. xlv.

From whom came Moses; Moses, in the Eyes
Of God & Man deare; whose Fame never Dyes;
He made him glorious as the Saints, & great
Vnto his Enemies; at his entreat
The Wonders ceas'd: in the sight of Kings
He made him Glorious; gave him holy things,
To train the People; made his Glorie Shine
A heavenly obiect, vnto Mortall Eyne.
He did Select him, of all worthy Most,
As Perfect, Faithfull, Gratious, & Iust.
God talk'd with him, he heard his voice aloud,
And stood vpon the Mountaine, in a Cloud;
He gave a Law vnto him, to record
Vnto the People; & a perfect Word,
101

T' instruct the house of Iacob, & Declare
To Israel his Iudgments, what they were.
He rais'd Aaron, like to him, as one
Vpright & Iust, in Levi's Portion.
He made a Covenant, & did Assigne
Him to the People, Sacred & Devine;
He did appoint for him a holy Vest,
Fitting his Preisthood; & his Function blest;
His Girdle fixt, bright robes he put vpon
His shoulders, that his Glorie might be knowne;
An Ephod, & a Coate Embroidered faire,
Rich to the Eye, & Comely for the Weare;
With Golden Bells he did adorne him round,
To give the People notice by their Sound;
A holy Garment, wrought in twisted gold,
Blue Silk, & Purple, glorious to behold;
A Brest-plate of Pre-Eminence, a Signe
Vrim & Thummim, of a Truth Devine;
A Worke of Scarlet, curiously Enchas't;
Rich stones, faire graven, wch were seemly plac'd;
Infulgent Gold, Cut for a true record,
Of all the Tribes of Israel, to the Lord;
A Mitre Crown'd with Gold, wch did adorne
His Browes, in honour of his Preisthood worne;
A worke of Price, and Gorgeous to the Eye,
Denoteing Honour, Power, & Sanctitye.
Such before never were, & these for none
To weare, but his sons in succession.
102

Twice every day he made the Altar Smoake
In Sacrifice, as God to Moses Spoke;
Moses anointed him wh holy Oyle,
For ever Sacred, to his seed; & while
The Heavens are a Covenant to the Rest,
Blessing the People, as anointed Preist
Chosen by God, to offer Sacrifice;
And Expiate, for the People, to his Eyes;
In his Commands he gave him Power to Solve
Or Iudge Offences, in the Law's behalfe.
That he should publish Truth to Iacob's race;
And shine for ever in his Holy place;
Vnruly faction, Baffled at his Power,
Dathan, Abiram, & the Men of Core:
This, heaven saw, and in the heat of Ire,
Sent downe his Iudgments; some he burnt with fire,
At sinfull rites; the greedie Earth did Gape
To swallow them, that not a Man should Scape.
But Aaron had more honour; loe, his Rod
Due to the Tribe, began to spring & Bud;
A Monument against them; for his ffee,
He gave the holy things; & generallie
The first-fruites of the first-borne; Holy bread;
For Preists did Eate the Victims & their Seed;
This was his Portion, not by the survay
Of measur'd lands, commixéd wth the Lay;
But an allotted Portion from the Rest,
By God himselfe to him & his sons Blest.
103

Now hear of Phineas, Eleazar's Son,
Zealous to God, whose glorious action
Shall never Die; when Israel to sin
Had a relapse, he, valiant to win
A Glorious freedome to the People, stood
Their Champion, & trivmph't in the blood
Of wicked Zimri: to attone the crime
With God, right gracious, in the truth of him;
He made with him a Covenant of Peace,
In holy Preisthood, wch can never Cease;
As he did make a perfect Covenant
With David, that his Seed should never want
To Governe Iudah, soe he did ordaine
That Aaron's fee should to his seed remaine.
Oh! may wee see, by devine Inspiration,
Their vertues glorious, that wee may fashion
Our Actions by their Square; & recommend
Them, holy, Iust, & Glorious to the End.
