3. Particularly: 1. The typical uncleanness in Levit. 7.20, 21, &c. signified, that all Unbelievers, Hypocrites, and Wicked ones, that, professing the Gospel, partake of the outward Signs and Seals of Grace unworthily, do eat and drink condemnation, or judgement, to themselves; according to 1 Corinth. 11.28, 29. 2. Those in Numb. 9.6. who were unclean by the dead, might not come into the Lords Sanctuary, nor into the Lords Camp, as also every Leper, or one that hath an Issue, Numb. 5.2. Those legal pollutions signified sin of all sorts, and the removal of such out of the Lords Sanctuary and Camp, figured the removal of scandalous and impenitent sinners out of Church-communion, though they were in it before, and the keeping them from admittance into Church-fellowship, if they were not in before: for, The unclean may not come into i•, Isa. 52.1. Any thing that defileth, may in no wise enter into it, Rev. 21.27. 3. That Text in Numb. 19.13, 20. concerns one who, being defiled by the dead, yet presumptuously came into the Tabernacle, that is, into the Court of it, in his uncleanness, that man must be cut off: Otherwise, if he did it igno antly, he was to bring a sacrifice, Lev. 5.3-6. because he defiled the Sanctuary by coming into it, before he was purified. This, and the former Texts, figured, in reference to G•sp•l-Churches, not the distinction between mere M mb•rs, and Members in Communion, (for no such distinctions of adult Members was known or made in that Church) ⟨p. 19⟩but that they should not admit any that are spiritually unclean (as all that are visibly unregenerate are, Tit. 1.15, 16.) into Church-communion. And that they should put away from Church-commun on, by Excommunication such as were in Church-communion before such uncleanness appea ed in them, till their healing should be n an f stead. 4. That which is added, concerning the charge given to the • rests and Por errs, had been more fully, and so more truly expressed, if they had said, Their c•a•ge was, that men should not partake of all the holy ••ing•, unless •••y qualified for the same, notwi standing thei• (not Membership, in their sense but) Membership in full communion with the Chu•c•, For, such Members the men of •srae were, b fore their Legal uncleanness: and they were also charged to keep out the Heathen uncircumcised in flesh, who never were Members.
