goodness_n than_o this_o he_o will_v send_v the_o messiah_n that_o shall_v save_v you_o from_o worse_o and_o great_a enemy_n than_o those_o he_o will_v work_v a_o miracle_n to_o cause_v a_o woman_n to_o conceive_v without_o any_o conjunction_n with_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v sure_o able_a to_o save_v you_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o these_o man_n he_o will_v make_v good_a his_o word_n concern_v his_o give_v his_o son_n to_o save_v you_o from_o your_o sin_n much_o more_o will_v he_o make_v good_a his_o word_n concern_v the_o save_v you_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o enemy_n r._n j._n we_o conceive_v this_o prophecy_n do_v no_o way_n relate_v to_o the_o birth_n of_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n we_o know_v that_o matthew_n so_o apply_v it_o but_o we_o think_v impertinent_o for_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o child_n here_o promise_v be_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n to_o ahaz_n of_o his_o deliverance_n from_o those_o two_o king_n that_o now_o come_v up_o against_o he_o and_o of_o this_o the_o birth_n of_o jesus_n if_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a pledge_n or_o assurance_n because_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v till_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n afterward_o mr._n b._n it_o be_v not_o unusual_a for_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v promise_v for_o sign_n which_o do_v not_o exist_v in_o themselves_o until_o after_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v sign_n instance_n of_o this_o abound_v in_o scripture_n see_v exod._n 3.12_o god_n there_o tell_v moses_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o have_v send_v he_o to_o pharaoh_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o after_o time_n shall_v serve_v he_o upon_o that_o mountain_n where_o now_o he_o appear_v to_o he_o a_o further_a instance_n of_o this_o you_o have_v in_o isa_n 7.10_o though_o the_o thing_n itself_o in_o its_o existence_n can_v be_v make_v a_o sign_n yet_o it_o may_v in_o the_o promise_n and_o prediction_n of_o it_o hereby_o their_o faith_n be_v confirm_v who_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o actual_a accomplishment_n of_o such_o promise_n and_o as_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n god_n do_v here_o assure_v ahaz_n and_o the_o house_n of_o david_n that_o he_o will_v as_o certain_o make_v good_a his_o promise_n in_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o they_o fear_v as_o he_o will_v fulfil_v that_o great_a promise_n of_o bring_v forth_o the_o messiah_n and_o that_o in_o a_o miraculous_a way_n for_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n r._n j._n but_o pray_v sir_n consider_v what_o follow_v that_o the_o deliverance_n here_o promise_v from_o those_o two_o king_n yea_o their_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n be_v to_o be_v wrought_v before_o this_o child_n shall_v come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o his_o know_v to_o refuse_v the_o evil_a and_o choose_v the_o good_a mr._n b._n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o speak_v afterward_o in_o the_o 16._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o child_n that_o he_o do_v in_o this_o 14_o verse_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o make_v use_n of_o another_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o he_o speak_v of_o another_o child_n if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o prophet_n and_o that_o by_o the_o especial_a command_n of_o god_n take_v with_o he_o shear-jashub_a his_o own_o son_n when_o he_o go_v with_o this_o message_n unto_o the_o king_n this_o you_o may_v suppose_v be_v for_o some_o particular_a reason_n or_o end_n in_o the_o message_n which_o he_o be_v to_o deliver_v his_o son_n be_v then_o but_o a_o child_n can_v be_v of_o no_o use_n in_o that_o whole_a transaction_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o something_o to_o be_v speak_v or_o do_v and_o doubtless_o this_o son_n of_o he_o be_v the_o young_a child_n he_o there_o intend_v and_o instance_v in_o before_o who_o grow_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n those_o king_n of_o damascus_n and_o samaria_n shall_v be_v destroy_v yet_o if_o you_o shall_v quarrel_v with_o this_o interpretation_n there_o be_v no_o force_n in_o your_o objection_n for_o this_o phrase_n do_v import_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o in_o as_o short_a a_o space_n of_o time_n these_o two_o king_n shall_v be_v destroy_v as_o any_o child_n or_o this_o promise_a child_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v shall_v come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n r._n j._n suppose_v i_o shall_v grant_v what_o you_o say_v yet_o this_o prophecy_n be_v not_o for_o your_o purpose_n for_o the_o word_n that_o you_o render_v a_o virgin_n do_v signify_v any_o young_a woman_n whether_o single_a or_o marry_a nay_o in_o the_o proverb_n of_o solomon_n it_o be_v use_v for_o a_o harlot_n i_o do_v not_o see_v therefore_o why_o you_o christian_n shall_v put_v so_o much_o stress_n or_o weight_n upon_o it_o mr._n b._n if_o this_o cavil_n have_v any_o truth_n in_o it_o i_o will_v yield_v the_o cause_n there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n to_o know_v the_o signification_n of_o a_o word_n either_o it_o must_v be_v from_o the_o etymology_n or_o constant_a use_n of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o etymology_n of_o the_o word_n you_o know_v it_o be_v from_o alum_n which_o signify_v to_o hide_v which_o in_o niphal_n be_v hide_v or_o keep_v close_o hence_o be_v almah_n a_o virgin_n and_o she_o be_v so_o call_v from_o she_o be_v unknown_a by_o man_n or_o from_o the_o custom_n in_o those_o eastern_a country_n where_o virgin_n be_v hide_v and_o keep_v close_o from_o all_o common_a conversation_n the_o grecian_n also_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n call_v virgin_n recluse_n or_o person_n shut_v up_o this_o then_o be_v the_o derivation_n of_o the_o word_n and_o it_o proper_o signify_v a_o unknown_a and_o a_o untouched_a virgin_n as_o to_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o it_o i_o can_v bold_o affirm_v that_o wherever_o you_o meet_v with_o it_o in_o scripture_n it_o have_v the_o same_o signification_n it_o be_v several_a time_n use_v in_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o sense_n and_o in_o no_o other_o as_o for_o that_o place_n in_o the_o proverb_n i_o know_v what_o you_o mean_v it_o be_v in_o chap._n 30.19_o there_o agur_n say_v there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o be_v too_o wonderful_a for_o he_o yea_o four_o which_o he_o know_v not_o and_o that_o four_o be_v the_o way_n of_o a_o man_n with_o a_o maid_n here_o be_v the_o same_o word_n and_o it_o must_v signify_v say_v you_o jew_n in_o this_o place_n a_o harlot_n but_o we_o christian_n see_v no_o necessity_n of_o it_o we_o think_v a_o unspotted_a virgin_n be_v here_o also_o intend_v and_o that_o by_o the_o way_n of_o a_o man_n with_o a_o maid_n agur_n intend_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o man_n in_o use_v crafty_a device_n to_o corrupt_a virgin_n and_o to_o compass_v their_o lust_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v such_o as_o a_o good_a man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o word_n either_o in_o its_o derivation_n or_o constant_a signification_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o unspotted_a virgin_n and_o no_o other_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o understand_v in_o this_o place_n i_o have_v yet_o a_o further_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v some_o miraculous_a thing_n which_o be_v above_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v usher_v in_o with_o a_o note_n of_o attention_n behold_v and_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n himself_o as_o a_o miraculous_a sign_n as_o great_a or_o great_a than_o ahaz_n can_v have_v ask_v either_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o understand_v it_o as_o you_o jew_n will_v have_v it_o of_o a_o ordinary_a conception_n and_o birth_n or_o of_o another_o woman_n conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o son_n how_o can_v that_o be_v a_o prodigy_n or_o a_o miraculous_a sign_n which_o be_v do_v every_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n r._n j._n but_o still_o this_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o mary_n because_o the_o name_n of_o this_o child_n be_v to_o be_v immanuel_n mr._n b._n by_o what_o i_o have_v already_o hear_v from_o you_o i_o take_v you_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o great_a read_n and_o understand_v than_o to_o think_v there_o be_v any_o force_n in_o this_o objection_n when_o the_o prophet_n say_v his_o name_n shall_v be_v call_v immanuel_n he_o intend_v what_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o do_v and_o not_o what_o he_o shall_v common_o be_v call_v or_o name_v the_o plain_a meaning_n be_v he_o shall_v be_v immanuel_n that_o be_v god_n with_o we_o or_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o
