emphatical Repetition of majors ex gr Gen. 9.2 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã is regularly on Haazetz but Rhebia ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã major should be Jihjeh in Place whereof ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã is repeated for indeed the Fear of Man planted on the Creature is an infinite Mercy without it Man would soon be destroyed from of the Face of the Earth So Gen. 24.3 The same and again ver 35. So Exod. 3.17 To the Land of the Canaanites Hittites and Amorites c. ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã has ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã a minister because it agrees with all but there is through all ministers for minors and majors for minors to denote the powerfulness of the Enemy See again ver 20. Exod. 9.4 Jos 1.4 1 Kings 21.4 Gen. 34.7 Exod. 8.11 and 10.14 Jos 6.25 1 Kings 1.13 2 Sam. 6.20 and 20.6 A fifth Subject is double Accentuation and there is a Triple kind of it First In single words Secondly In Propositions Thirdly In Verses especially the Law Can. 1. Where one Word has two Accents that Word 1. In Consecution of Accents must be reckoned two in Number 2. In Pronounciation it supplies Methegs Place if that be proper for him 3. It Augments the Signification of the Word and its Emphasis must be exactly opposite to Maccaph for as that makes two Words sometimes Three or Four one Word in Consecution it hastens this suspends Hence we may learn that the general Key to the Explication of the Import or Emphasis of the Figures in the Old Testament is to be taken from the Affections whose two great Roots to the Soul are like Arteries and Veins to the Heart the one bringing the other expelling the Blood but both equally necessary to Life So Aversion is the Root of Hatred Fear Anger and all Compounded of them Attraction is of Love Desire Joy Hope and all Compounded of them Among which the greatest difficulty is in explaining the Passions that are Compounded of Aversion and Attraction So among these Points Pausing and Festination are easily discernable and Degrees of that Kind too But 1. Compounded Figures as Transposition and Extrusion are more difficile And 2. Distinction between the Original of the Figures 1. Grammar 2. Affection 3. Subject-matter And 3. The Kind of the Affection of Jealousie of Hope and Desire mixed of Hope or Desire separated of Anger or Hatred In all which tho' I see general Characters to distinguish them I dare not attempt Rules about them until if it please God I have finished my next Design on the Dicta Classica Dubia of the Bible according to my Specimen The Examples of this Kind are many Jonah 4.10 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã in Verse 10. it has ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã and ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã but three times before it has Metheg Ver. 7 8 9. But in this Verse it is proposed Comparatively with the City Nineveh its Greatness its Riches its Antiquity its Usefulness But over and above that its spiritual Case there were Souls there none in the Gourd and many Souls 120000 Souls of meer Babes and alive more than these ten Times are the least we can bring in proportion may be 20 is nearer to other rationals to one Infant And the Spirits whereof God was Father the Souls that He himself had made must be above one or two Millions The Emphasis lies then in diminishing the Gourd it had no Immortal Soul in it no it had no Animal Life like Cattle in it Jonah was no Father to it no he had not so much as laboured for it nor had he any more gain by it than a Woman has of a Fan in an hot day and yet Jonah exceeds in Joy in the Possession is blind with Anger at its loss This double Accentuation is to stop his Thoughts in a more just deliberation and consideration of it so that it is exactly opposite to Maccaph Exod. 3.17 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã has Munah with ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã but ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã has Metheg there is no diversity in the Form of Words to be found they are much of a likeness but therefore it must be sought in the Matter or Signification many of which are lost yet there wants not Matter of wonder that the Hittites Land should be theirs not only on the account of their greatness but their kindness to Abraham and their Covenant with him which continued inviolated until Jacob's Death Thirdly It is probable there was some Aggravation in their Iniquity Ezek. 16.3 45. Thy Mother was an Hittite and therefore their Ruin Fourthly More Universal Whereas there was little probability of Peace with the Hivites Gen. 34. whom Jacob's Sons destroyed the old Hatred was like to be soon kindled but Eventually they were not destroyed though they were dispossessed they were made most happy Slaves Josh 9.7 I wonder some Book is not wrote to prove that the Ministers under the Gospel are the Successors to them Hivites or Gibeonites that ought to enjoy nothing but Life and hard Service Yet I hope it is the Comfort of many that necessity put them to seek the better that would have been too soon satisfied with worse of this kind See Gen. 28.2 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã two Ministers Padenah Psal 50.3 Jabo ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Psal 116.16 Ana ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Prov. 14.31 Ghoshek ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Secondly A Minor and Minister 1 Chron. 13.2 Vajikka betzu ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Psal 106.28 Vajatzamedu ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Thirdly A Major and a Minister Sebibothaim Gen. 35.5 Laobothehem ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Fourthly A Minor and a Major Ezek. 48.20 Vleleh ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Fifthly An Absolute and a Minister Lehodaghtani Dan. 5.15 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Sixthly An Absolute and a Minor Beshabughthechem ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Lehehhallu Lev. 21.4 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Ledorthechem ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Num. 15.21 There are many of these Examples that admit not of Metheg as may be seen P. 1. C. 1. and therefore the end must be higher than a bare change for change sake Thirdly The Accents would lose their general use of being Ministers of Sense if they never subserved that end when doubled on a Word The Second Branch is about Propositions whereof Gen. 35.22 is a famous Instance G. 35.22 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã And it came to pass that while Israel dwelt in that land that Reuben went in and lay with Bilha the concubine of his father and Israel heard it And it came to pass that the sons of Jacob were twelve Observe First That the double Punctation only asserts this abominable Crime and every Word of that except Pilegesh the Concubine from which I would infer the Emphatickness of every step of that Lewdness For first It was less relation than a Wife Secondly Less wonderful for a Miss a Concubine to be a Whore than for a Wife she might be turned off and the Seed disinherited as Hagar
