rather_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a and_o bring_v in_o the_o other_o as_o subordinate_a thereunto_o by_o occasion_n afterwards_o in_o explication_n of_o the_o principal_a point_n for_o we_o see_v troop_n in_o the_o text_n bind_v for_o zion_n and_o so_o hasty_a thitherward_o that_o they_o salute_v not_o any_o man_n by_o the_o way_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o look_v aside_o any_o way_n they_o go_v with_o their_o face_n thitherward_o all_o the_o stay_v they_o make_v be_v but_o to_o call_v other_o along_o with_o they_o and_o among_o these_o we_o say_v come_v and_o what_o be_v the_o

a_o people_n loose_v from_o the_o babylonish_a captivity_n and_o return_v to_o zion_n and_o in_o their_o return_n to_o have_v this_o in_o their_o heart_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o in_o their_o

the_o chief_a and_o only_a point_n of_o instruction_n which_o i_o shall_v recommend_v to_o and_o press_v upon_o you_o and_o my_o own_o heart_n with_o you_o be_v plain_o this_o that_o when_o god_n vouchsafe_v any_o deliverance_n to_o his_o church_n doctrine_n especial_o from_o babylon_n then_o be_v it_o most_o seasonable_a and_o most_o necessary_a to_o close_v with_o god_n by_o a_o more_o solemn_a strict_a and_o inviolable_a covenant_n to_o be_v his_o and_o only_o his_o for_o ever_o in_o prosecute_v this_o point_n wherein_o i_o resolve_v to_o be_v plain_a and_o in_o earnest_n i_o

together_o in_o deut._n 29._o you_o shall_v find_v moses_n require_v the_o people_n to_o enter_v into_o a_o special_a covenant_n with_o god_n etc._n beside_o the_o solemn_a covenant_n which_o he_o make_v with_o they_o and_o they_o with_o he_o in_o horeb._n general_a to_o induce_v they_o thereunto_o moses_n refresh_v their_o memory_n with_o the_o repetition_n or_o representation_n of_o the_o many_o deliverance_n god_n have_v give_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o egypt_n and_o in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n egypt_n together_o with_o the_o wonder_n and_o miracle_n which_o he_o daily_o wrought_v for_o they_o and_o in_o the_o seven_o ver._n he_o tell_v they_o that_o when_o you_o come_v into_o this_o place_n that_o be_v into_o the_o land_n of_o moab_n sihon_n the_o king_n of_o heshbon_n and_o og_n the_o king_n of_o bashan_n come_v out_o against_o we_o unto_o battle_n and_o we_o smite_v they_o etc._n etc._n what_o then_o here_o be_v deliverance_n upon_o deliverance_n 1._o and_o the_o inference_n be_v keep_v therefore_o the_o word_n of_o this_o covenant_n and_o do_v they_o vers._n 9_o but_o that_o be_v the_o covenant_n on_o god_n part_n you_o will_v say_v true_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o he_o therefore_o press_v they_o to_o a_o actual_a personal_a covenant_n on_o their_o part_n and_o that_o upon_o consideration_n of_o so_o many_o deliverance_n this_o be_v his_o main_a business_n with_o they_o at_o the_o lord_n own_o command_n therefore_o in_o verse_n 10._o he_o thus_o bespeak_v they_o it_o you_o stand_v this_o day_n all_o of_o

you_o see_v a_o covenant_n require_v strike_v and_o ratify_v by_o solemn_a oath_n of_o god_n and_o his_o people_n mutual_o to_o one_o another_o they_o bind_v themselves_o by_o solemn_a oath_n to_o

that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o there_o be_v no_o way_n like_o to_o that_o of_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o he_o for_o so_o asa_n understand_v it_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o next_o word_n

so_o much_o money_n and_o all_o his_o care_n be_v how_o to_o pay_v his_o debt_n or_o to_o get_v long_a time_n so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o godly_a man_n that_o have_v enter_v covenant_n with_o the_o

unto_o the_o end_n psal._n 119._o 112._o this_o be_v one_o expression_n again_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n to_o be_v remember_v as_o that_o of_o the_o wife_n whereby_o she_o stand_v bind_v to_o her_o

{non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o viz._n upon_o receipt_n of_o any_o deliverance_n but_o more_o especial_o from_o babylon_n people_n shall_v enter_v into_o
