1. Extraordinary matters: These were for particular persons, not for all. 2. Temporary matters: These were for special times, not for all times. 3. Sinful matters: These were for no persons, for no times. 1. It was the motion of an extraordinary spirit that moved Elijah to call for fire from heaven to consume two Captains and their fifties, 2 King. 1. 9, 10, &c. Therefore when Christs disciples alleged this example for them to do the like, ⟨p. 81⟩Christ rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 2. Joshuas worshipping God on Mount Gerizin and Mount Eber was but temporary. It was therefore unwarrantably brought unto a perpetual custom by the Samaritans, Joh. 4. 20, 21, 22. 3. It was a sinful practice of the Jews to put away their wives for every cause. Christ therefore condemneth their successors for imitating them therein, Matth. 19. 3, &c.
