that_o to_o come_v and_o temporal_a blessing_n do_v oft_o attend_v the_o gospel_n and_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o if_o we_o first_o seek_v his_o kingdom_n all_o other_o thing_n shall_v be_v cast_v

do_v we_o good_a we_o shall_v not_o want_v it_o though_o both_o be_v promise_v here_o yet_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v special_o intend_v as_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1_o if_o we_o look_v into_o those_o primitive_a time_n when_o these_o spiritual_a gift_n here_o promise_v be_v pour_v out_o abundant_o the_o church_n be_v low_a in_o temporal_n though_o rich_a in_o spiritual_n they_o be_v persecute_v and_o plunder_v of_o all_o heb._n 10.34_o beside_o the_o gospel_n call_v for_o self-denial_n and_o a_o contempt_n of_o all_o these_o low_a enjoyment_n 2_o in_o old_a testament_n time_n the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o childhood_n and_o therefore_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n by_o such_o expression_n do_v condescend_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o rude_a and_o

temporal_a blessing_n isa._n 25.6_o and_o earthly_a peace_n typify_a spiritual_a peace_n and_o plenty_n of_o corn_n and_o wine_n plenty_n of_o grace_n as_o here_o in_o the_o text_n by_o all_o those_o

that_o be_v a_o glorious_a affluence_n and_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n set_v forth_o in_o hyperbolical_a term_n and_o very_o lofty_a expression_n as_o 1_o the_o ploughman_n shall_v overtake_v
