the_o great_a thing_n in_o religion_n as_o his_o counsel_n be_v to_o agree_v to_o gregory_n austen_n if_o he_o be_v humble_a 10●_z so_o be_v it_o our_o holy_a policy_n to_o tie_v to_o that_o man_n

the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n and_o the_o reduce_n of_o the_o disobedient_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o just_a it_o be_v our_o prayer_n still_o and_o still_o as_o it_o be_v before_o that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o power_n of_o elias_n or_o the_o baptist_n as_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o second_o part_n of_o john_n work_n in_o his_o ministration_n to_o turn_v the_o disobedient_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o just_a these_o word_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o our_o english_a translation_n do_v show_v no_o great_a difficulty_n but_o be_v examine_v in_o the_o original_a they_o be_v not_o so_o very_o easy_a a_o man_n scruple_n that_o appear_v in_o both_o be_v this_o that_o the_o angel_n undertake_v to_o quote_v the_o prophet_n shall_v so_o far_o now_o decline_v from_o his_o text_n allegation_n in_o the_o former_a part_n that_o we_o have_v new_o handle_v he_o follow_v he_o punctual_o and_o verbatim_o he_o shall_v turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n so_o say_v the_o prophet_n and_o so_o the_o angel_n but_o now_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v take_v up_o the_o other_o part_n in_o these_o word_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n to_o the_o father_n he_o change_v they_o into_o this_o clause_n it_o and_o the_o disobedient_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o just_a but_o to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v 1._o that_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o so_o punctual_a to_o cite_v the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n and_o so_o we_o may_v observe_v it_o to_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o its_o allegation_n from_o the_o old_a and_o that_o he_o give_v the_o same_o sense_n or_o a_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o prophet_n we_o shall_v see_v as_o we_o go_v 2._o it_o be_v not_o very_o long_o after_o the_o baptise_v and_o preach_v of_o john_n that_o the_o jew_n cease_v to_o be_v a_o church_n and_o nation_n nay_o even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o he_o himself_o they_o show_v themselves_o enemy_n to_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o same_o for_o the_o general_a or_o great_a part_n of_o they_o therefore_o he_o say_v not_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v turn_v to_o their_o father_n the_o jew_n which_o shall_v cease_v to_o be_v father_n and_o to_o be_v a_o people_n but_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o just_a and_o thus_o in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o speech_n about_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n he_o intimate_v the_o jew_n that_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v and_o unite_v to_o the_o gentile_n in_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n and_o in_o this_o latter_a by_o omit_v to_o call_v they_o father_n he_o give_v a_o touch_n of_o the_o hostility_n and_o evil_a mind_n that_o the_o other_o of_o the_o jew_n shall_v bear_v both_o to_o it_o and_o to_o the_o gentile_n that_o embrace_v it_o and_o now_o that_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n and_o difference_n in_o the_o allegation_n let_v we_o take_v up_o the_o word_n that_o thus_o differ_v every_o one_o single_a and_o one_o after_o another_o as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o will_v the_o time_n permit_v every_o word_n will_v afford_v we_o matter_n profitable_o to_o insist_v upon_o but_o i_o will_v only_o hint_n it_o as_o we_o go_v along_o for_o i_o fear_v to_o offend_v in_o transgress_v the_o time_n 1._o as_o in_o this_o clause_n he_o refuse_v to_o use_v the_o term_n of_o father_n disobedient_a for_o the_o reason_n mention_v so_o do_v he_o also_o of_o the_o correlative_a child_n because_o of_o his_o refuse_n of_o that_o and_o yet_o he_o couch_v the_o sense_n of_o that_o title_n under_o the_o word_n disobedient_a which_o in_o its_o most_o proper_a and_o natural_a signification_n reflect_v upon_o untoward_o child_n disobedient_a to_o their_o parent_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o disobedience_n to_o any_o superior_a whatsoever_o as_o to_o king_n magistrate_n master_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o be_v the_o obedience_n of_o child_n to_o parent_n the_o original_a from_o whence_o it_o receive_v denomination_n and_o that_o appear_v in_o that_o those_o superior_n be_v call_v father_n as_o therefore_o the_o angel_n omit_v to_o call_v the_o jew_n father_n insinuate_v their_o opposition_n against_o the_o gospel_n so_o by_o term_v the_o gentile_n disobedient_a in_o stead_n of_o child_n he_o show_v what_o they_o be_v before_o they_o embrace_v it_o the_o vulgar_a latin_a in_o stead_n of_o disobedient_a read_v incredulous_a or_o unbelieving_a unbelieving_a which_o though_o the_o greek_a word_n do_v sometime_o signify_v as_o may_v be_v evidence_v in_o divers_a instance_n yet_o that_o it_o do_v not_o so_o in_o this_o place_n may_v be_v collect_v from_o these_o consideration_n first_o that_o the_o speech_n be_v concerning_o child_n and_o father_n as_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o clause_n precede_v and_o between_o they_o disobedience_n be_v a_o more_o proper_a term_n and_o notion_n than_o inoredulity_n second_o that_o he_o say_v not_o he_o shall_v turn_v they_o to_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a if_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o unbelieving_a but_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o three_o 4._o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o baptist_n be_v more_o especial_o the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n as_o his_o baptism_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n but_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n therefore_o john_n say_v only_o repent_v matth._n 3._o 2._o but_o our_o saviour_n repent_v and_o believe_v mar._n 1._o 15._o now_o from_o this_o double_a signification_n of_o the_o original_a word_n and_o indeed_o also_o from_o the_o proper_a cause_n of_o the_o heathen_n disobedience_n observ._n we_o may_v observe_v that_o a_o chief_a and_o main_a cause_n of_o disobedience_n be_v unbelief_n it_o be_v a_o say_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o talmud_n
