declaration_n of_o this_o double_a and_o triple_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o manifold_a commodity_n thereof_o 5.3_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o history_n of_o david_n persecute_v by_o saul_n and_o after_o exalt_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n as_o touch_v the_o letter_n every_o christian_a man_n that_o have_v read_v the_o book_n of_o samuel_n do_v confess_v that_o david_n be_v live_v about_o a_o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o flesh_n &_o that_o be_v persecute_v of_o king_n saul_n he_o be_v diverse_a time_n in_o danger_n of_o death_n from_o the_o which_o god_n do_v wonderful_o deliver_v he_o and_o also_o deliver_v saul_n into_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o will_v not_o lay_v hand_n upon_o he_o unto_o death_n and_o when_o tiding_n be_v bring_v he_o that_o saul_n be_v dead_a 1.15_o he_o execute_v the_o messenger_n as_o a_o murderer_n because_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v slay_v he_o 2.4_o then_o he_o be_v proclaim_v king_n and_o after_o that_o he_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o kingdom_n .17_o he_o commit_v adultery_n with_o bethsabe_n and_o cause_v her_o husband_n to_o be_v slay_v and_o do_v other_o thing_n displeasant_a unto_o god_n for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v grievous_o punish_v this_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o letter_n as_o touch_v the_o moral_a we_o learn_v by_o david_n fall_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o wickedness_n to_o look_v circumspect_o unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o our_o iniquity_n we_o learn_v by_o his_o whole_a life_n that_o affliction_n be_v a_o good_a schoolmaster_n unto_o godliness_n in_o that_o it_o restrain_v our_o carnal_a lust_n and_o keep_v down_o our_o flesh_n but_o contrariwise_o prosperity_n make_v we_o forget_v the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o david_n in_o adversity_n will_v not_o slay_v saul_n the_o king_n .26.9_o when_o he_o be_v deliver_v into_o his_o hand_n although_o he_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n give_v we_o a_o ensample_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o our_o prince_n so_o narrow_o do_v he_o look_v unto_o his_o path_n but_o in_o prosperity_n he_o neglect_v god_n commandment_n &_o swerve_v from_o his_o ordinance_n by_o commit_v adultery_n murder_n &_o other_o offence_n whereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o prosperity_n be_v a_o slippery_a place_n to_o stand_v upon_o it_o be_v like_o a_o high_a steep_a mountain_n narrow_a in_o the_o top_n upon_o the_o which_o a_o man_n stand_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o every_o wind_n to_o be_v blow_v down_o &_o to_o break_v his_o neck_n except_o he_o hold_v fast_o by_o some_o tree_n or_o hide_v himself_o under_o some_o bush_n or_o such_o like_a so_o in_o prosperity_n we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o every_o assault_n of_o the_o flesh_n world_n &_o devil_n except_o we_o hold_v fast_o by_o a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v a_o sure_a stay_n &_o our_o only_a stay_n both_o in_o prosperity_n &_o adversity_n without_o who_o we_o can_v not_o be_v safe_a neither_o in_o the_o mount_v of_o honour_n &_o wealth_n nor_o in_o the_o valley_n of_o affliction_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o much_o rain_n the_o valley_n may_v be_v overflowen_v with_o water_n &_o they_o drown_v that_o dwell_v in_o it_o unless_o they_o save_v themselves_o by_o a_o boat_n or_o such_o other_o mean_n so_o in_o adversity_n we_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o the_o wave_n of_o affliction_n &_o to_o be_v provoke_v to_o forsake_v god_n except_o we_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n who_o be_v our_o only_a ark_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o david_n do_v not_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o the_o valley_n but_o i_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n 11.1_o wherefore_o do_v they_o say_v unto_o my_o soul_n fly_v unto_o the_o mountain_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o moral_n in_o the_o history_n of_o david_n there_o be_v in_o it_o also_o a_o allegory_n or_o mystery_n prefigure_v our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n ezechiel_n &_o hoshea_n where_o god_n speak_v in_o they_o after_o this_o sort_n .37.24_o i_o will_v set_v a_o shepherd_n over_o my_o sheep_n &_o he_o shall_v feed_v they_o even_o my_o servant_n david_n he_o shall_v feed_v they_o &_o he_o shall_v be_v their_o shepherd_n &_o i_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o my_o servant_n david_n shall_v be_v the_o prince_n among_o they_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v one_o shepherd_n and_o my_o servant_n david_n shall_v be_v their_o prince_n for_o ever_o 3.5_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v turn_v and_o seek_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n &_o david_n their_o king_n and_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n &_o his_o goodness_n in_o the_o late_a day_n these_o prophet_n hoshea_n and_o ezechiel_n live_v the_o one_o three_o hundred_o year_n &_o the_o other_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o david_n therefore_o see_v they_o prophesy_v of_o a_o david_n to_o come_v after_o they_o in_o the_o late_a day_n and_o because_o they_o call_v he_o a_o everlasting_a king_n which_o can_v not_o be_v verify_v of_o david_n literal_o be_v a_o mortal_a man_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o do_v mean_v a_o other_o prefigure_v by_o david_n that_o be_v to_o say_v our_o saviour_n who_o govern_v the_o true_a israelite_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o who_o also_o in_o the_o gospel_n call_v himself_o the_o good_a shepherd_n 10.11_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v that_o david_n the_o shepherd_n of_o god_n people_n of_o who_o the_o prophet_n do_v speak_v therefore_o the_o history_n of_o david_n be_v mystical_o expound_v thus_o david_n in_o adversity_n thereby_o bring_v down_o as_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o hell_n do_v signify_v our_o saviour_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o debace_v himself_o unto_o the_o low_a degree_n humble_v himself_o unto_o the_o death_n even_o unto_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o david_n deliver_v from_o his_o enemy_n and_o place_v in_o the_o kingdom_n do_v signify_v our_o saviour_n rise_v from_o death_n and_o ascend_v unto_o heaven_n where_o he_o be_v exalt_v unto_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o govern_v all_o the_o world_n thus_o this_o history_n may_v true_o be_v expound_v whereby_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n much_o more_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v than_o the_o letter_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n offer_v unto_o we_o after_o this_o sort_n also_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o history_n of_o solomon_n david_n son_n 7.13_o god_n say_v unto_o david_n that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o son_n who_o throne_n he_o will_v establish_v for_o ever_o and_o he_o will_v be_v his_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v his_o son_n where_o the_o letter_n direct_v we_o unto_o solomon_n 2.46_o who_o then_o have_v establish_v the_o kingdom_n unto_o himself_o when_o he_o have_v put_v to_o death_n those_o that_o rebel_v against_o he_o and_o his_o father_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o person_n of_o solomon_n as_o in_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n teach_v we_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v subdue_v all_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o father_n and_o of_o himself_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o quiet_o with_o his_o faithful_a servant_n that_o harken_v unto_o his_o law_n &_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o his_o government_n unto_o this_o exposition_n the_o apostle_n lead_v we_o where_o he_o appli_v the_o word_n of_o almighty_a god_n unto_o our_o saviour_n 1.4_o say_v christ_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a than_o angel_n as_o he_o have_v get_v he_o a_o more_o excellent_a name_n than_o they_o for_o unto_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v he_o at_o any_o time_n 7.14_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o and_o again_o i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n &_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n therefore_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n expound_v the_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n which_o literal_o do_v appertain_v unto_o solomon_n i_o say_v that_o solomon_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o saviour_n &_o that_o in_o the_o history_n of_o solomon_n there_o be_v a_o allegory_n beside_o the_o letter_n 1.17_o likewise_o jonas_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n &_o after_o deliver_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v not_o only_o a_o example_n of_o god_n omnipotent_a goodness_n but_o also_o a_o figure_n of_o the_o burial_n &_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n 12.40_o as_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o his_o own_o interpretation_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o hoshea_n the_o prophet_n declare_v the_o benefit_n of_o god_n towards_o the_o israelite_n 11.1_o &_o their_o unthankfulness_n for_o the_o same_o recite_v their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n in_o who_o god_n

that_o almighty_a god_n speak_v himself_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o i_o say_v which_o pertain_v to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o edomite_n be_v certain_a for_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o unto_o this_o part_n also_o pertain_v the_o title_n of_o the_o prophecy_n in_o that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o vision_n of_o vision_n there_o be_v often_o mention_v make_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremy_n ezechiel_n &_o daniel_n and_o in_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n daniel_n 7.1_o in_o a_o dream_n see_v a_o vision_n of_o four_o beast_n and_o saint_n john_n in_o a_o trance_n see_v a_o vision_n of_o seven_o candlestick_n 1.12_o of_o this_o and_o such_o other_o vision_n his_o whole_a book_n of_o revelation_n consist_v which_o be_v declaration_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v by_o similitude_n &_o dark_a kind_n of_o speech_n but_o in_o this_o prophecy_n a_o vision_n be_v otherwise_o understand_v for_o it_o signify_v here_o a_o declaration_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v in_o plain_a word_n without_o any_o similitude_n or_o allegory_n as_o a_o prophet_n in_o old_a time_n be_v call_v a_o seer_n 9.9_o so_o here_o the_o prophecy_n of_o abdias_n be_v call_v the_o sight_n or_o vision_n of_o abdias_n 24.11_o a_o prophet_n in_o old_a time_n be_v call_v a_o seer_n because_o he_o do_v foresee_v thing_n that_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v afterward_o so_o here_o abdias_n prophecy_n be_v call_v a_o vision_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n foresee_v that_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v in_o time_n to_o come_v these_o two_o be_v both_o one_o in_o effect_n a_o vision_n and_o a_o prophecy_n yet_o some_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o for_o a_o vision_n be_v a_o revelation_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bring_v to_o pass_v afterward_o and_o a_o prophecy_n be_v a_o utter_v of_o that_o be_v reveal_v as_o prophet_n be_v divers_a so_o be_v prophecy_n some_o false_a &_o some_o true_a but_o a_o vision_n be_v always_o certain_a so_o call_v because_o it_o be_v see_v &_o revel_v by_o god_n unto_o man_n that_o be_v true_o call_v a_o vision_n whereof_o we_o can_v testify_v that_o have_v see_v it_o whatsoever_o writing_n may_v true_o be_v so_o call_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v be_v true_a therefore_o the_o prophet_n give_v this_o title_n unto_o his_o prophecy_n to_o declare_v the_o certainty_n thereof_o our_o saviour_n use_v the_o like_o argument_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o doctrine_n say_v that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v i_o testify_v unto_o you_o and_o after_o this_o sort_n s_o john_n 8.38_o begin_v his_o first_o epistle_n 1.1_o say_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hear_v which_o we_o have_v see_v with_o our_o eye_n which_o we_o have_v look_v upon_o which_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v that_o declare_v we_o unto_o you_o the_o title_n of_o this_o prophecy_n be_v almost_o one_o with_o this_o title_n of_o s._n john_n epistle_n for_o the_o vision_n of_o abdias_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o that_o which_o abdias_n have_v see_v or_o that_o which_o god_n have_v reveal_v unto_o he_o for_o a_o certainty_n to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o i_o say_v this_o prophecy_n be_v call_v a_o vision_n because_o this_o word_n contain_v in_o it_o a_o argument_n that_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o deed_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v or_o rather_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o because_o god_n reveal_v it_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v call_v his_o vision_n at_o what_o time_n this_o prophecy_n be_v reveal_v or_o at_o what_o time_n abdias_n utter_v it_o be_v not_o express_o declare_v either_o in_o this_o book_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o jew_n write_v that_o this_o be_v the_o same_o abdias_n that_o live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n ahab_n and_o do_v save_v a_o hundred_o of_o the_o true_a prophet_n 3030._o hide_v they_o by_o fifty_o &_o fifty_o in_o a_o cave_n and_o give_v they_o necessary_a sustenance_n but_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o jew_n seem_v contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o show_v that_o abdias_n live_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o jeremy_n and_o ezechiell_n prophesy_v 49.7_o for_o they_o prophesy_v all_o against_o one_o and_o the_o same_o people_n they_o all_o declare_v the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n of_o the_o edomite_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o destruction_n abdias_n do_v agree_v in_o word_n with_o jeremy_n as_o though_o he_o have_v learn_v the_o manner_n of_o handle_v his_o prophecy_n of_o he_o as_o the_o scholar_n of_o the_o master_n therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o live_v and_o prophesy_v both_o at_o one_o time_n which_o be_v when_o nabuchodonosor_n have_v destroy_v jerusalem_n and_o carry_v the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o prisoner_n unto_o babylon_n which_o captivity_n be_v full_a three_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o reign_n of_o achab._n therefore_o that_o abdias_n which_o be_v in_o his_o time_n can_v not_o be_v alive_a in_o these_o day_n moses_n in_o his_o prayer_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n 2490._o say_v that_o in_o his_o day_n the_o age_n of_o man_n be_v but_o threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o in_o achab_n time_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o man_n age_n be_v rather_o shorten_v than_o prolong_v because_o in_o his_o day_n the_o world_n be_v above_o five_o hundred_o year_n old_a than_o it_o be_v in_o moses_n time_n for_o the_o old_a the_o world_n be_v the_o short_a be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n although_o some_o man_n live_v now_o a_o day_n long_o than_o the_o common_a sort_n do_v yet_o the_o age_n of_o man_n common_o be_v but_o threescore_o or_o fourscore_o year_n so_o moses_n live_v a_o hundred_o &_o twenty_o year_n and_o if_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v so_o beneficial_a to_o abdias_n that_o be_v in_o ahabs_n time_n that_o he_o live_v .40_o year_n long_o than_o the_o common_a age_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o live_v unto_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n for_o than_o he_o must_v have_v live_v above_o three_o hundred_o

the_o one_o be_v a_o courtier_n &_o the_o other_o a_o prophet_n but_o in_o this_o they_o do_v both_o agree_v that_o they_o may_v both_o be_v true_o name_v abdias_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o
