Mark faich, After two days was the Fea# of the Paſſer, and of Unleavened Bread. Luke laith, chap. 22. 1, Now the Feat of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the Paſſyuer. For cur becter underſtanding of whar the Evangeliſts ſay here, and in
the following parr of this Hiſtory, we will conſider the Lavw of |
the Paſſover, in it's Inſtitution, which we find in Exod. 12. 3, (5c. Lev. 23. 4, (Fc. Numb. 28. 16, (xc. In Exod. 12. we finds its firſt Inſtitution, and the Occaſion of ir: Upon the Tenth Day of rhe Month Ai/an, they were to take up a Lamb for every Houſhold, or if the Houſhold were to2 ſmall , they might take in their Neighbours , this Lamb was to be a male without blemiſh, and to be kept up to the Furteenth Day, then to be killed in the Evening ; or betwixt the two Exzn.ngs 3 (that is,as is moſt probably judged, fome time that Day after the Sun beganafter Noon to decline, before the Sun did ſer) the fleſh of this Lamb was that Night to be eaten, neither raw, nor ſod- den, but ro1ted with Fire, with unleavened Bread, and with bitter Herbs, nothing was to remain till the Morning , and if any did re- main, it was to be burned, They were to eat it, with their Lins girded , their Shoes on their Feet , and their Staff in their Hinds; they were to ſtrike the Blood of the Lamb on the two firs Poſts, and 5n the upper Door-Poſts of the Houſes where they did eat it. Seven Days they were to eat unleavened Bread, beginning on the Four- tenth Day of the Month at Even, and ending the One and Twentieth t Even, This was to be to them for a Memvrizl of their Deli- wrance in Egypt upon God's deſtroying the Firſt-born of the E:ytians, and ſparing them; and their Deliverance and coming our of Ezypt, and was to be an Ordinance unto them for ever. This may be read at large, Exod. 12, from v. 3. to v. 21. This alſo was a Fizure of the true Paſſover Feſs Christ, whom the Apoſtle calleth or Paſſover, and the Evingelift calls the Lamb of God. The Law of the Paſſover was again repeated, Levit. 23. 5,6, 7,8. Numb, 28, 16, The fir$ and /4 of the Days of Unieavened Bread ( as may be ſeen there) were to be Days of an My Con- v%ction, There were ſome differences betwixc rhe Obiervarion of the firſt Paſſover in Egypt, and their after O'fervarions of it. Ar the Paſſover in Foypt , the Blozd was to bc jprirk/2{ on the Dor-Poſts; in following times, the Bl-9d and tine Zit were be prinbled upon the Altar z ar the Pier in Egypt, evcry Pl Society flew the Paſſover in their own Houſe , bur atrer- wards they were all ſlain in the Temple, and then carried ro be roaſtedand earen by the ſeveral Socictics. The Pa{ſover in Egypt was tobe caren ktanding, with their Loins girded, their Shes on their Feet, and Staves in their Hands, in token of their bcing ready to take teir Journey our of Egypt £ Bur in their following Paſſovers they (in token of the Liberty inro which God had broughr them) did Eat it firring 5 hence, we ſhall find thar Chri& ſaute down with the !welve, when he are the Paſſover. In other things the Obſer- *101 was much alike. They ftritly kepr to che Time, the Firteenth Day of the Month Njj4n or /46jb, which anſwererh part ot our Warch and April.
