True Christian Love
From Egypt's bonds and slavery base, Heb 2. 14.
'tis he tht sets us free; 15
'Tis he that doth prepare our Way, 1 Cor. 10
through Floods and raging Sea.
That Prophet rais'd like Moſes true,
but fruitfuller than he: Heb. 2. 3.
He Law and Curſe, and Types of good 2. 3.
Chriſt, Grace and Truth gives me. John. 11. 17.
My Duty Moſes ſhows, but ſtrength 2 Cor. 3. 6.
&c. none can he give to do,
But Chriſt by teaching gives me Life, Heb. 7. 15.
&c. and Will, and Action too.
The Prieſt that offered only once,
and pacify'd for ay:
And needs not Aaron-like repeat
his Sacrifice each Day.
For Aarons Offering oft did prove
his Offering unperfite:
But Chrift, becauſe it perfect makes,
God ſtill our Sins to quite.
In him all Laws and Types are fill'd, Heb. 10. 14.
in him they have an end: Heb. 7. 12,
No further uſe of them, ſince God
did Chriſt their Subſtance ſend.
No Prieſt by Office now on Earth,
no proper Sacrifice,
No Altar of Materials,
no fixt Place of Service.
The Tent where God dwels bodily, John. 4. 27.
the Temple where the tryſt
Is ſet for meeting of our God,
as reconcil'd is Chriſt. Heb. 9. 2.
&c. He Ark with ready Angels cled,
he Mercy-ſeat of God,
