in a word, to his faith, affiance, religion, obedience, zeal, charity, prudence, fortitude, integrity, wisdom in his government, as thus teftified, every thing was FINISHED, that the LORD commanded JESUS.-As the LORD commanded Moses his fervant, fe did MOSES coumand JESUS, and fo did JESUS, he LEFT NOTHING UNDONE of ALL that JeHovaн_commanded Moses, c. xi. 15, and in this view of this prince, more excellent far than whom Xenophon, or Plato, or Ariftotle describe, as skilful in peace, as he was successful in war, having the four qualifications Cicero mentions, as requifites in a general, " military fcience and courage, authority and fuccefs," and these infpired, enforced, enfured by the DIVINITY with him; who fees not that SS reports him according to his name, a GREAT SAVIOR to the elect of GOD, and to fecure ISRAEL their inheritance, Eccl. xlvi. 1. though a righteous JUDGE, though a terrible executioner of God's vengeance against the (unrelenting) enemies that rose up against them? For in this refpect, Who was there before him like to him, for he fought the battles of THE LORD? v. 5.

Should it be objected, "that the phrafe "Jeнovaн is WITH thee, is used concerning "others, and only denotes perfons in favour or "communion with HIM." I own it is applied to others. For as this union was promised Noah

Noah and ABRанам under the phrafe THE PURIFIER or COVENANT of ME, shall be (778 ATCK) WITH thee (fee I. xlv. 6. Gen. vi. 18. c. ix. 9. c. xvii. 4.) fo this person appearing confirms it under this other phrase to (ISAAC) THE JOY Gen. xxvi. 3, faying, fojourn in this land, and I will be ASSOCIATE WITH thee, &c. Again, v. 24, Jeнovaн fays, I am the God of Abka. HaM thy father (this ANGEL or SENT PERSON) the GOD of BETH-EL, c. xii. 8. as the JEWS own, who ftyled HIMSELF to ABR4HAM (EL) GOD, the name of this ANGEL, c. xxxi. II. and xxxv. 3. and 7, fear not, for I am ASSOCIATE WITH thee, &c. To which ABIMELECH and AнUzzaтн give this teftimony, v. 25, and 28, we saw certainly Jeнovaн was ASSOCIATE WITH thee. JACOB has the fame promise under fuffering in BETHEL, THE HOUSE OF GOD (the type of CHRIST'S manhood) from this (EL) GOD, (whose temple he faid the place was, v. 16, and ke called it, v. 19,) from this SENT PERSON, who, c. xxxi. 11. appeared and faid (what proves the Jews right) I am (EL) THE INTERPOSING GOD OF (Beth-EL) the TEMPLE OF GOD v. 13. who ftyles HIMSELF the GOD who appeared unto him, c. xxxv.

JACOB, in v. 5, declares as wifhed for, xxvii. 20, and this under the additional title of THE FEAR OF ISAAC, v. 42. After him we read, c. xxxix. 2, JeнovaH (was) WITH [JosePH] THE ONE TO INCREASE (Joh. iii. 30.) which made him fo profperous, that his master saw it, and v. 22. committed all the prisoners to his hand, becaufe of this (Joh. v. 14). In c. xlvi. 17,

this GOD faid unto ISRAEL on his typic oblation, I am [EL] THE INTERPOSING GOD, and (to point HIM out by this distinction) THE GOD of thy father; then adds, to shadow out the passion and resurrection, as in c. xxviii. 15, fear not to GO DOWN into [EGYPT] the place of enemies, for I (whom ISRAEL C. xlviii. 16, styles THE ANGEL which REDEEMED him, and understood by the JEWS of KING MESSIAH) will there make of thee a great nation, I will GO DOWN ASSOCIATE WITH thee, &c. and I will also furely BRING thee UP AGAIN, &C.

[COM] THE ASSOCIATE OF thee. So we are told, Chron. ix. 20, He was WITH PHINeнas the priest; in Jud. i. 19. Jeнovaн was THE ASSOCIATE OF, or WITH [JUDаH] THE ESSENCE-CONFESSOR; v. 22, WITH the house of JosepH, c. ii, WITH the JUDGE, ‹. vi. 12, 16, WITH GIDEON, I S. iii. 19, WITH SAMUEL; with SAUL at first, c. xvii. 37, WITH [DAVID] THE BELOVED, who went to the PHILISTINE in or with THE NAME JeHоvaн of hofts, v. 45, and whom SAUL was afraid of, v. 12, 14, as knowing Jeнovaн was ASSOCIATE WITH him v. 28: which ABIGAIL thus expreffes c. xxv. 29, the [foul HEB.] frame of my Lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jeнovaн thy GOD. This is spoken of Him 2 S. v. 10, c. vii. 9, the fimilitude or image of the ANGEL or SENT PERSON OF GOD, (thus with him) c. xiv. 17, who was wife to know all in the earth, v. 20, (as fpoken of CHRIST in Joh. ii. 24.) yet as a type bore the curfe, c. xvi. 5, 6, 7, 10, and made atonement c. xxi. 3, by a fatisfaction on the tree, v. 6, at the time our LORD did, v. 9. Thus be was with SOLOMON, I K. i. 36, &c. And it is faid of [EL-ISHA]" GOD THE SA"VIOR," by JeнOSHаPHаT (pointing out the perfon) THE WORD JeнOvаH (is) ASSOCIATE WITH him, 2, 3, 12: THE WORD Jehovaн, which came to [JeReMIAH] THE ONE TO BE EXALTED OF THE ESSENCE, fays to him, be
