An incorruptible key composed of the CX. Psalme
Subtitle: wherewith you may open the rest of the Holy Scriptures: turning it selfe onely according to the composure and art of that lock, of the closure and secrecie of that great mystery of God manifest in the flesh, but justified only by the spirit, which it evidently openeth and revealeth, out of fall and resurrection, sin and righteousnesse, ascension and descension, heighth and depth, first and last, beginning and ending, flesh and spirit, wisdome and foolishnesse, strength and weaknesse, mortality and immortality, Iew and gentile, light and darknesse, unity and multiplication, fruitfulness & barrenness, curse and blessing, man and woman, kingdome and priesthood, heaven and earth, life and death, allsufficiency and deficiency, God and man. And out of every unity made up of twaine, it openeth that great two-leafed gate, which is the sole entrie into the City of God, or new Ierusalem, into which none but the king of glory can enter: and as that porter openeth the doore of the sheepfold, by which whosoever entreth is the shepherd of the sheep, see Isa. 45.1. Psal. 24. 7,8, 9, 10. Iohn 10. 1, 2, 3. Or (according to the signification of the word translated psalme) it is a pruning knife, to lop off from the church of Christ all superfluous twigs of earthly and carnall commandements, Leviticall services or ministry, and fading and vanishing priests, or ministers, who are taken away and cease, and are not established and confirmed by death, as holding no correspondency with the princely dignity, office, and ministery of Melchisedek, who is the onely minister and ministery of the sanctuary, and of that true tabernacle which the Lord pitcht, and not man. For, it supplants the old man, and implants the new: abrogates the Old Testament or Covenant, and confirmes the new, unto a thousand generations, or in generations forever
By: By Samuel Gorton, Gent. and at the time of the penning hereof, in the place of iudicature (upon Aquethneck, aliàs Road Island) of Providence plantations in the Nanhyganset Bay New England..
