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 upon_o we_o matth._n 6.33_o we_o may_v take_v the_o word_n in_o the_o large_a sense_n as_o a_o promise_n both_o of_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a blessing_n which_o shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o church_n in_o gospel-time_n 1_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v promise_v absolute_o and_o primary_o they_o be_v necessary_a per_fw-la se_fw-la but_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v promise_v as_o accessory_n only_o conditional_o with_o exception_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o far_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o we_o thing_n necessary_a we_o be_v sure_a of_o and_o if_o more_o may_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 infirm_a jewish_a people_n which_o be_v as_o child_n under_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o law_n and_o speak_v to_o they_o as_o we_o use_v to_o do_v to_o our_o little_a child_n in_o their_o own_o language_n when_o we_o make_v promise_n to_o they_o hence_o we_o read_v so_o frequent_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n shadow_v forth_o unto_o we_o by_o feast_n and_o other_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 temporal_a thing_n the_o lord_n will_v raise_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o heavenly_a and_o eternal_a thing_n in_o the_o word_n we_o have_v 1._o a_o blessing_n promise_v and_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 the_o reaper_n 2_o the_o treader_n of_o grape_n he_o that_o sow_v the_o feed_n 3_o the_o mountain_n shall_v drop_v wine_n 4_o if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o all_o the_o hill_n shall_v melt_v and_o dissolve_v into_o milk_n honey_n oil_n all_o figurative_a promise_n of_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o blessing_n in_o gospel-time_n 2_o here_o be_v the_o time_n when_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v effect_v and_o that_o be_v in_o gospel-time_n set_v forth_o in_o those_o general_a term_n the_o day_n shall_v come_v viz._n when_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o david_n shall_v be_v build_v and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v raise_v up_o 3_o here_o be_v the_o confirmation_n of_o all_o this_o dixit_fw-la dominus_fw-la the_o lord_n have_v say_v it_o 4_o here_o be_v a_o ecce_fw-la to_o quicken_v our_o

have_v such_o plentiful_a harvest_n that_o before_o you_o can_v have_v thresh_v out_o your_o corn_n the_o vintage_n shall_v come_v and_o such_o rich_a vintage_n that_o before_o they_o be_v end_v it_o shall_v be_v time_n to_o sow_v your_o seed_n so_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v one_o blessing_n in_o the_o neck_n of_o another_o you_o shall_v always_o be_v get_v and_o gather_v of_o fruit_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o time_n wherein_o the_o earth_n shall_v not_o be_v yield_v you_o somewhat_o either_o for_o necessity_n or_o delight_n and_o the_o mountain_n shall_v d●op_v sweet_a wine_n or_o must_v which_o be_v new_o tread_v and_o be_v call_v sweet_a because_o new_a wine_n be_v so_o mountain_n usual_o be_v hard_a rockey_n wild_a barren_a place_n but_o now_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o cultivate_v colle_n and_o make_v so_o fruitful_a that_o they_o shall_v even_o run_v wine_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o allude_v to_o judea_n which_o have_v mountain_n beset_v with_o vineyard_n q._n d._n the_o vine_n in_o the_o mountain_n shall_v abound_v with_o grape_n the_o like_a expression_n we_o have_v almost_o in_o terminis_fw-la joel_n 3.18_o and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o that_o day_n that_o the_o mountain_n shall_v drop_v down_o new_a wine_n and_o the_o hill_n shall_v flow_v with_o milk_n q._n d._n in_o gospel-time_n god_n shall_v give_v plenty_n of_o spiritual_a nourishment_n unto_o his_o church_n so_o as_o every_o part_n thereof_o shall_v abound_v with_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n for_o as_o in_o the_o text_n so_o here_o by_o figurative_a expression_n be_v shadow_v forth_o the_o bless_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o set_v forth_o heavenly_a thing_n by_o earthly_a similitude_n as_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o canticle_n and_o all_o the_o hill_n shall_v melt_v that_o be_v they_o shall_v seem_v to_o do_v so_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o abundant_a increase_n of_o
