we_o can_v bold_o say_v it_o be_v the_o great_a god_n who_o by_o we_o speak_v and_o according_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v receive_v as_o such_o by_o you_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v further_o inquire_v 2._o why_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o content_v themselves_o to_o deliver_v their_o message_n from_o god_n but_o bring_v in_o god_n himself_o as_o deliver_v it_o i_o shall_v return_v this_o answer_n that_o by_o this_o way_n of_o expression_n their_o prophecy_n may_v make_v the_o deep_a impression_n upon_o the_o hearer_n the_o prophet_n well_o know_v 1._o how_o incredulous_a the_o people_n will_v general_o be_v 1._o we_o find_v this_o prophet_n complain_v who_o have_v believe_v our_o report_n if_o you_o observe_v the_o prediction_n of_o the_o prophet_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n either_o threat_n of_o misery_n to_o the_o bad_a and_o that_o while_o their_o condition_n be_v prosperous_a or_o promise_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o good_a and_o that_o when_o their_o estate_n be_v calamitous_a and_o true_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o make_v the_o one_o believe_v so_o as_o to_o tremble_v at_o the_o threat_n or_o the_o other_o so_o as_o to_o hope_v for_o the_o promise_n when_o our_o mountain_n be_v strong_a we_o be_v apt_a to_o say_v it_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v and_o when_o our_o condition_n be_v low_a we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v it_o can_v never_o be_v raise_v 2._o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o gain_v credence_n to_o their_o prediction_n then_o by_o mind_v the_o people_n that_o they_o come_v from_o god_n whatsoever_o have_v the_o stamp_n of_o divine_a authority_n upon_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v current_a coin_n with_o all_o that_o be_v not_o direct_v atheist_n he_o that_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n must_v needs_o believe_v that_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a and_o therefore_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o their_o saying_n be_v no_o more_o regard_v be_v because_o those_o to_o who_o they_o speak_v do_v not_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n saying_n no_o wonder_n if_o in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n which_o be_v a_o denunciation_n of_o war_n against_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n be_v insert_v and_o here_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v annex_v to_o this_o annunciation_n of_o peace_n let_v we_o all_o then_o learn_v whensoever_o we_o be_v about_o to_o read_v or_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n either_o read_v or_o preach_v beforehand_o to_o fix_v this_o thought_n in_o our_o mind_n this_o be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o read_v or_o hear_v that_o so_o we_o may_v attend_v with_o the_o great_a reverence_n and_o assent_v with_o the_o firm_a confidence_n and_o oh_o that_o you_o my_o noble_a lord_n who_o be_v in_o the_o language_n of_o the_o psalmist_n coetus_fw-la deorum_fw-la a_o congregation_n of_o god_n 1._o will_v remember_v that_o the_o great_a jehovah_n always_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o and_o now_o speak_v to_o you_o in_o the_o language_n of_o this_o text_n i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n peace_n peace_n to_o he_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o to_o he_o that_o be_v near_o have_v by_o this_o short_a preface_n concerning_o the_o author_n i_o hope_v in_o some_o measure_n quicken_v your_o attention_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o insist_v upon_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o text_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v like_o a_o chariot_n run_v upon_o four_o wheel_n a_o tree_n spread_v itself_o into_o four_o branch_n or_o if_o you_o will_v the_o river_n of_o paradise_n part_v itself_o into_o four_o head_n here_o be_v observable_a the_o excellency_n of_o the_o object_n peace_n peace_n the_o universality_n of_o the_o subject_a to_o he_o

consider_v it_o first_o as_o propound_v and_o then_o as_o ingeminated_a the_o blessing_n propound_v be_v peace_n 1._o which_o according_a to_o the_o double_a meaning_n of_o this_o prophecy_n admit_v of_o a_o double_a exposition_n 1._o the_o mystical_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n be_v the_o vocation_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o sense_n the_o peace_n peace_n to_o he_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o to_o he_o that_o be_v near_o be_v peace_n to_o the_o gentile_a as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o as_o secondary_o of_o one_o with_o another_o the_o

answer_v to_o this_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n peace_n to_o he_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o but_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o sense_n best_o befit_v that_o solemn_a feast_n

this_o 2._o now_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n refer_v to_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o according_o the_o peace_n here_o assure_v be_v the_o nether_a spring_n of_o
