we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o vain_a repetition_n in_o the_o scripture_n see_v christ_n forbid_v we_o to_o use_v vain_a repetition_n in_o our_o 36._o prayer_n and_o will_v call_v

or_o idle_a word_n in_o pen_v the_o book_n of_o scripture_n these_o repetition_n serve_v for_o good_a purpose_n in_o prayer_n they_o show_v the_o fervency_n of_o he_o that_o pray_v and_o his_o earnest_a desire_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o ask_v in_o prophecy_n they_o declare_v the_o certainty_n &_o speedines_n of_o the_o execution_n as_o appear_v by_o pharaoh_n dream_n which_o as_o joseph_n tell_v he_o be_v double_v unto_o 71._o he_o the_o second_o time_n because_o the_o thing_n be_v establish_v of_o god_n and_o god_n haste_v to_o perform_v it_o in_o narration_n they_o serve_v

the_o latter_a clause_n expound_v the_o former_a for_o as_o nature_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n body_n two_o member_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n and_o use_n as_o two_o eye_n to_o see_v withal_o two_o ear_n to_o hear_v withal_o two_o hand_n to_o handle_v withal_o and_o two_o foot_n to_o walk_v withal_o that_o if_o the_o one_o shall_v fail_v in_o his_o office_n the_o other_o may_v help_v it_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v give_v two_o word_n of_o the_o same_o kind_a and_o signification_n to_o many_o sentence_n of_o scripture_n that_o if_o the_o one_o shall_v fail_v in_o his_o office_n and_o not_o full_o express_v the_o meaning_n the_o other_o may_v help_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o word_n be_v so_o often_o double_v in_o this_o verse_n lest_o any_o shall_v gather_v by_o the_o former_a phrase_n that_o the_o righteous_a so_o perish_v that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o more_o be_v at_o all_o he_o now_o say_v that_o he_o be_v but_o take_v away_o and_o he_o may_v be_v
