and_o make_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o two_o sort_n of_o person_n when_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o it_o speak_v but_o of_o one_o but_o now_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v before_o propound_v the_o reason_n in_o these_o word_n be_v plain_a viz._n thus_o for_o for_o this_o cause_n viz._n that_o they_o may_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o man_n in_o the_o flesh_n i._n e._n that_o they_o may_v pass_v a_o severe_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o and_o mortify_v all_o their_o sinful_a lust_n but_o live_v according_a to_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n i._n e._n live_v new_a and_o holy_a life_n be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a here_o you_o may_v observe_v a_o clear_a antithesis_fw-la in_o the_o word_n be_v judge_v or_o condemn_v be_v oppose_v to_o live_v and_o flesh_n to_o spirit_n and_o according_a to_o man_n to_o according_a to_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n viz._n that_o be_v once_o convert_v they_o may_v judge_v and_o condemn_v themselves_o and_o mortisie_n the_o flesh_n and_o die_v to_o sin_n as_o judge_v and_o pass_v sentence_n be_v in_o order_n to_o

mutual_o explain_v each_o other_o the_o dead_a to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n to_o who_o christ_n go_v and_o preach_v in_o both_o place_n be_v mean_v the_o spiritual_o dead_a those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o their_o sin_n thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v full_o show_v who_o be_v the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n now_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o explain_v how_o christ_n go_v and_o preach_v to_o these_o spirit_n the_o preach_a here_o be_v not_o christ_n personal_n preach_v but_o his_o preach_n by_o his_o

a_o mere_a expletive_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o have_v its_o particular_a weight_n and_o import_n these_o two_o thing_n i_o conceive_v be_v suggest_v to_o we_o by_o it_o 1._o the_o

from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n i_o look_v upon_o eph._n 2._o 17._o to_o be_v a_o parallel_n text_n with_o this_o which_o i_o be_o insist_v on_o he_o come_v or_o he_o go_v and_o preach_v peace_n to_o you_o who_o be_v afar_o off_o viz._n to_o the_o ephesian_n who_o be_v gentiles_n and_o idolater_n he_o come_v not_o to_o these_o in_o person_n but_o he_o come_v or_o go_v by_o those_o who_o he_o send_v to_o preach_v to_o they_o thus_o he_o go_v and_o preach_v to_o these_o spirit_n in_o prison_n so_o more_o signal_o he_o go_v to_o the_o jew_n yea_o to_o they_o indeed_o first_o as_o saint_n t_o peter_n speak_v act_v 3._o 26._o unto_o you_o first_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n send_v he_o to_o bless_v you_o god_n send_v he_o after_o his_o ascension_n not_o he_o in_o person_n but_o other_o in_o his_o name_n to_o preach_v repentance_n to_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o they_o from_o their_o iniquity_n as_o it_o follow_v in_o that_o place_n thus_o christ_n go_v he_o send_v those_o who_o go_v 2._o this_o speak_v the_o freeness_n of_o the_o act_n neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n stay_v till_o the_o gentile_n and_o jew_n seek_v for_o the_o gospel_n and_o salvation_n by_o it_o but_o they_o go_v to_o they_o they_o they_o free_o offer_v these_o to_o they_o the_o word_n than_o be_v not_o redundant_fw-la and_o superfluous_a but_o very_o

when_o he_o leave_v this_o world_n and_o go_v to_o his_o father_n behold_v he_o send_v his_o spirit_n to_o actuate_v his_o church_n especial_o his_o apostle_n who_o he_o appoint_v to_o instruct_v and_o convert_v soul_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n he_o inspire_v they_o with_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o grace_n to_o make_v they_o able_a to_o discharge_v their_o office_n and_o according_o they_o do_v discharge_v it_o with_o great_a power_n and_o vigour_n with_o marvellous_a and_o unexpected_a success_n they_o preach_v to_o the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n and_o that_o so_o

that_o these_o word_n speak_v of_o christ_n preach_v by_o his_o apostle_n to_o the_o unbeliever_n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n in_o those_o time_n when_o as_o the_o text_n plain_o refer_v to_o the_o

i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o the_o word_n do_v not_o altogether_o refer_v to_o those_o antediluvian_n transgressor_n but_o in_o a_o latitude_n and_o by_o way_n of_o analogy_n they_o comprehend_v all_o that_o have_v sometime_o be_v disobedient_a but_o because_o what_o the_o learned_a episcopius_n have_v offer_v viz._n that_o the_o several_a generation_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o body_n of_o man_n and_o in_o this_o large_a consideration_n the_o preach_v to_o those_o who_o live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n may_v reach_v even_o to_o they_o in_o the_o

there_o be_v a_o ellipsis_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n that_o be_v common_o make_v use_n of_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o seem_v strange_a in_o this_o place_n that_o this_o ellipsis_n or_o leave_v out_o of_o a_o word_n be_v very_o frequent_a you_o may_v satisfy_v yourselves_o from_o those_o writer_n who_o have_v make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o treat_v
