be_v interress_v therein_o there_o before_o when_o the_o proph_n zacha._n say_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v that_o who_o so_o will_v not_o come_v up_o of_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n the_o king_n the_o lord_n of_o hofts_n even_o upon_o they_o shall_v he_o no_o rain_n i_o can_v understand_v the_o meane_n of_o this_o to_o be_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n in_o palestine_n once_o a_o year_n for_o some_o live_v so_o remote_a that_o they_o can_v go_v thither_o and_o return_v back_o in_o a_o year_n time_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o god_n will_v oblige_v all_o the_o world_n to_o so_o painful_a a_o voyage_n yet_o i_o believe_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v settle_v in_o their_o land_n and_o have_v build_v their_o city_n zeal_n will_v draw_v up_o person_n of_o all_o nation_n to_o visit_v their_o land_n i_o say_v zeal_n to_o see_v that_o land_n and_o people_n who_o god_n have_v bless_v and_o not_o obligation_n will_v draw_v they_o up_o and_o as_o to_o the_o obligation_n when_o god_n say_v that_o all_o nation_n shall_v go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_v he_o there_o i_o rather_o believe_v that_o person_n of_o every_o nation_n shall_v go_v up_o once_o a_o year_n to_o their_o own_o jerusalem_n i_o say_v some_o person_n and_o not_o all_o for_o all_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o enter_v in_o it_o only_o such_o as_o bring_v good_a testimoniall_n of_o their_o christian_a conversation_n and_o holy_a live_a for_o david_n allude_v to_o this_o holy_a city_n say_v lord_n who_o shall_v abide_v in_o thy_o tabernacle_n and_o who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o thy_o holy_a hill_n he_o that_o walk_v upright_o and_o work_v righteousness_n and_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o his_o heart_n a_o st._n john_n say_v there_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n enter_v into_o it_o any_o thing_n that_o defile_v etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v they_o that_o do_v his_o commandment_n ehat_fw-la they_o may_v have_v right_o to_o thou_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o may_v enter_v in_o through_o the_o gate_n into_o the_o city_n for_o without_o be_v dog_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o when_o god_n say_v that_o all_o nation_n shall_v come_v up_o to_o worship_v he_o at_o jerusalem_n i_o understand_v by_o jerusalem_n all_o other_o jerusalem_n as_o a_o part_n for_o the_o whole_a and_o by_o all_o nation_n i_o understand_v some_o of_o every_o nation_n to_o represent_v all_o and_o these_o figure_n be_v very_o common_a in_o holy_a writ_n but_o some_o will_v say_v that_o what_o the_o proph._n david_n and_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o be_v heaven_n in_o the_o ultimate_a degree_n and_o scope_n i_o allow_v it_o be_v heaven_n but_o i_o contend_v earnest_o that_o we_o must_v first_o have_v the_o type_n upon_o earth_n and_o what_o can_v typify_v heaven_n better_o than_o a_o holy_a city_n who_o inhabitans_fw-la be_v to_o be_v god_n servant_n and_o minister_n represent_v the_o angel_n and_o into_o which_o no_o impure_a thing_n no_o unholy_a man_n shall_v enter_v but_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o unblemished_a life_n and_o conversation_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v heaven_n absolute_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o the_o imitation_n of_o thing_n do_v in_o heaven_n here_o on_o earth_n be_v very_o commendable_a for_o the_o better_a strengthen_v of_o the_o proposition_n of_o this_o my_o holy_a city_n and_o new_a oeconomie_n i_o will_v further_o suggest_v the_o ensue_a consideration_n that_o the_o jew_n as_o yet_o have_v have_v no_o benefit_n of_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o be_v at_o present_a a_o wretched_a miserable_a people_n under_o god_n displeasure_n disperse_v over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n that_o the_o christian_n as_o yet_o have_v have_v no_o settle_a or_o last_a peace_n among_o they_o since_o their_o embrace_v so_o peaceable_a and_o holy_a a_o religion_n so_o that_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v i_o that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o holy_a jesus_n have_v not_o as_o yet_o have_v its_o proper_a and_o natural_a effect_n upon_o earth_n and_o that_o all_o those_o glorious_a promise_n of_o justice_n peace_n and_o truth_n make_v by_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o to_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o new_a be_v not_o yet_o accomplish_v and_o as_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o accomplish_v so_o i_o more_o certain_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o will_v be_v for_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o it_o can_v enter_v into_o my_o mind_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o take_v upon_o he_o humane_a nature_n and_o preach_v unto_o mankind_n and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v remain_v in_o the_o same_o unhappy_a circumstance_n of_o war_n and_o misery_n as_o it_o be_v before_o it_o be_v true_a i_o know_v he_o say_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o send_v peace_n into_o the_o world_n but_o a_o sword_n but_o this_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o accidental_a effect_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o not_o the_o natural_a his_o doctrine_n have_v no_o such_o innate_a propensity_n in_o itself_o but_o such_o evil_a effect_n come_v ab_fw-la extra_fw-la we_o may_v with_o great_a justice_n therefore_o expect_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n upon_o earth_n god_n have_v promise_v it_o and_o very_o pathetical_o describe_v the_o state_n of_o its_o accidental_a effect_n and_o its_o natural_a in_o the_o 8_o cap._n of_o zacha._n and_o beginning_n at_o the_o 10_o verse_n say_v he._n before_o these_o day_n speake_v of_o this_o new_a

for_o i_o set_v all_o man_n every_o one_o against_o his_o neighbour_n but_o now_o i_o will_v not_o be_v unto_o the_o residue_n of_o this_o people_n as_o in_o the_o former_a day_n say_v the_o lord_n of_o hofts_n for_o the_o seed_n shall_v be_v prosperous_a the_o vine_n shall_v give_v her_o fruit_n and_o the_o ground_n shall_v give_v her_o increase_n and_o the_o heaven_n shall_v give_v their_o

this_o last_o hundred_o year_n to_o see_v the_o prophecy_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n fullfil_v to_o see_v the_o jew_n convert_v the_o church_n in_o a_o most_o flourish_a condition_n and_o peace_n truth_n and_o justice_n establish_v upon_o earth_n but_o their_o expectation_n have_v fail_v they_o and_o we_o be_v still_o in_o the_o dark_a so_o that_o the_o present_a time_n seem_v to_o be_v that_o

ought_v a_o little_a to_o inspect_v into_o the_o mean_n for_o god_n work_v all_o his_o purpose_n by_o just_a and_o proper_a medium_n glorious_a time_n be_v expect_v but_o we_o ought_v to_o say_v how_o by_o which_o way_n and_o method_n and_o from_o what_o spring_n will_v they_o have_v their_o original_n the_o natural_a answer_n hereto_o will_v be_v by_o change_v something_o this_o aught_o next_z therefore_o be_v inquire_v into_o vizt._n on_o what_o bottom_n and_o ground_n the_o natural_a and_o pollitical_a constitution_n of_o this_o world_n stand_v and_o since_o these_o happy_a time_n be_v to_o come_v by_o change_n we_o ought_v

diligent_o to_o find_v out_o those_o thing_n which_o will_v admit_v of_o a_o change_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o will_v not_o and_o this_o will_v facilitate_v the_o work_n and_o make_v we_o more_o easy_o comply_v with_o those_o medium_n and_o proposition_n which_o be_v among_o the_o changeable_a predicament_n the_o thing_n the_o refore_o here_o below_o that_o be_v unchangeable_a for_o brevity_n

and_o to_o take_v a_o way_n any_o of_o these_o be_v to_o pull_v down_o the_o pillar_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v grant_v i_o that_o what_o ever_o thing_n be_v change_v in_o

these_o three_o 2._o the_o outward_a administration_n of_o justice_n and_o power_n 3._o the_o outward_a administration_n of_o divine_a worship_n first_o i_o need_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n be_v changeable_a it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v and_o since_o the_o world_n in_o a_o manner_n be_v govern_v by_o opinion_n and_o it_o have_v so_o great_a power_n &_o influence_n over_o

to_o moses_n from_o moses_n to_o soloman_n from_o solomon_n to_o our_o saviour_n and_o from_o our_o saviour_n to_o this_o day_n and_o these_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v i_o hope_v the_o new_a

of_o this_o hereafter_o i_o say_v before_o that_o i_o find_v man_n expect_v to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o happy_a time_n but_o no_o way_n willing_a to_o comply_v with_o any_o reasonable_a

shall_v be_v something_o else_o and_o think_v all_o shall_v be_v do_v after_o their_o own_o way_n but_o alas_o they_o be_v mighty_o mistake_v for_o hear_v what_o god_n say_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n for_o my_o thought_n be_v not_o your_o thought_n neither_o be_v your_o way_n my_o way_n say_v the_o lord_n for_o as_o this_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v my_o way_n high_a than_o your_o way_n and_o my_o thought_n then_o your_o thought_n the_o jew_n send_v the_o prophet_n jerima._n to_o inquire_v of_o god_n for_o they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o make_v a_o

whatever_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o wish_v or_o desire_v great_a be_v the_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o the_o jew_n of_o a_o saviour_n and_o when_o they_o have_v he_o they_o crucify_v he_o and_o

their_o evil_a custom_n and_o constitution_n the_o christian_n notwithstanding_o their_o present_a adoration_n of_o he_o in_o heaven_n will_v as_o certain_o crucify_v he_o as_o do_v the_o jew_n for_o
