wit_n the_o three_o record_n in_o earth_n water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o commission_n of_o moses_n the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o

walk_v in_o thus_o when_o god_n spirit_n walk_v through_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o be_v the_o path_n for_o god_n spirit_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o prophet_n afterward_o do_v find_v he_o out_o in_o that_o worship_n of_o the_o law_n so_o likewise_o when_o god_n spirit_n do_v walk_v in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n do_v find_v he_o out_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o can_v trace_v his_o step_n in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n find_v god_n out_o in_o those_o two_o path_n aforesaid_a three_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v find_v god_n out_o in_o all_o his_o three_o path_n as_o thus_o 1._o the_o prophet_n keep_v close_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o therein_o they_o find_v god_n 2._o the_o apostle_n

truth_n these_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n be_v the_o three_o path_n for_o god_n to_o walk_v in_o and_o who_o ever_o do_v walk_v in_o they_o shall_v find_v he_o only_o i_o will_v have_v the_o

that_o the_o apostle_n know_v the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n also_o so_o that_o they_o have_v proof_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o they_o be_v

power_n of_o miracle_n to_o prove_v he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n after_o he_o have_v his_o writing_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o moses_n so_o that_o the_o prophet_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o moses_n and_o he_o that_o can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n until_o he_o come_v to_o moses_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o find_v god_n there_o but_o if_o any_o man_n go_v any_o further_a he_o can_v never_o find_v god_n at_o all_o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n advantage_n be_v great_a in_o that_o they_o have_v two_o path_n to_o walk_v in_o when_o as_o the_o

their_o advantage_n be_v great_a three_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v advantage_n above_o they_o both_o in_o this_o respect_n in_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spiritual_a without_o any_o outward_a ordinance_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n or_o revelation_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o can_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o second_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o do_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o three_o so_o that_o god_n be_v walk_v now_o in_o the_o three_o path_n or_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n even_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o there_o be_v no_o 〈◊〉_d for_o any_o man_n to_o find_v god_n but_o there_o for_o there_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n of_o the_o other_o two_o aforesaid_a in_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o high_a knowledge_n then_o

revelation_n of_o john_n be_v more_o clear_a that_o god_n do_v die_v than_o any_o other_o scripture_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n in_o the_o 10._o verse_n

with_o a_o garment_n down_o to_o the_o foot_n and_o gird_v about_o the_o waste_n with_o a_o golden_a girdle_n this_o great_a voice_n which_o john_n hear_v it_o be_v as_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o

but_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o that_o though_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v nevertheless_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o the_o 17._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v and_o when_o i_o see_v he_o i_o fall_v

as_o aforesaid_a yet_o he_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o the_o lord_n almighty_n he_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o prophet_n prophesy_v of_o as_o you_o may_v see_v isaiah_n the_o 41._o and_o 4._o verse_n who_o have_v wrought_v and_o do_v it_o call_v the_o generation_n from_o the_o beginning_n i_o the_o lord_n the_o first_o and_o

that_o he_o have_v the_o book_n of_o life_n in_o his_o right_a hand_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o creator_n but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o redeemer_n he_o must_v take_v the_o book_n out_o of_o his_o

in_o like_a manner_n he_o and_o the_o elder_n give_v thanks_o and_o praise_n unto_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n and_o sometime_o they_o give_v thanks_o unto_o he_o all_o together_o as_o he_o be_v the_o redeemer_n yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n however_o it_o do_v seem_v by_o john_n vision_n as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o when_o as_o it_o be_v speak_v with_o relation_n to_o a_o twofold_a

that_o be_v the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb._n now_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v call_v the_o old_a song_n or_o the_o first_o song_n because_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o saint_n under_o that_o testament_n i_o say_v they_o give_v praise_v honour_n and_o glory_n unto_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o father_n and_o creator_n and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o

which_o cause_v this_o song_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v sing_v by_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v old_a or_o the_o first_o

the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v more_o new_a for_o redemption_n be_v after_o creation_n therefore_o call_v a_o new_a song_n it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a song_n in_o relation_n to_o a_o new_a

declare_v by_o holy_a man_n who_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n to_o write_v those_o thing_n aforesaid_a yet_o man_n by_o their_o own_o imagination_n by_o the_o gift_n of_o learning_n and_o by_o the_o natural_a wisdom_n of_o reason_n will_v undertake_v to_o interpret_v scripture_n and_o to_o be_v preacher_n to_o other_o without_o a_o commission_n from_o god_n and_o without_o any_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o so_o these_o man_n do_v come_v to_o add_v other_o interpretation_n of_o their_o own_o conceiving_n unto_o the_o scripture_n

for_o true_a revelation_n always_o have_v some_o to_o add_v to_o it_o and_o some_o to_o take_v from_o it_o so_o that_o he_o that_o take_v from_o it_o god_n will_v take_v his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o

that_o be_v choose_v and_o send_v of_o god_n as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n peter_n and_o paul_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o none_o can_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n as_o those_o have_v that_o speak_v the_o scripture_n that_o spirit_n can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n almighty_n in_o those_o three_o path_n which_o god_n have_v walk_v in_o those_o three_o parth_n be_v god_n three_o commission_n or_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n to_o wit_n the_o water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n so_o that_o no_o

book_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o st._n john_n i_o think_v it_o something_o necessary_a to_o open_v these_o two_o verse_n because_o it_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n common_a in_o most_o people_n mouth_n when_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n with_o many_o deep_a secret_n open_v and_o many_o heavenly_a mystery_n reveal_v which_o never_o be_v reveal_v before_o or_o that_o have_v not_o be_v common_o know_v among_o religious_a people_n they_o have_v seem_v hard_a say_n so_o that_o man_n have_v cry_v out_o o_o blasphemy_n or_o else_o say_v i_o have_v add_v to_o the_o

god_n yet_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o add_v or_o to_o take_v away_o from_o it_o therefore_o i_o have_v open_v these_o two_o verse_n in_o the_o last_o chapter_n and_o the_o last_o
