Being observations upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters of St Matthew. To which is prefixed a prolegomena or preface by way of dialogue, wherein the perfection and perspicuity of the Scripture is vindicated from the calumnies of Anabaptists and Papists. By Tho.

where_o herod_n rule_v for_o he_o may_v expect_v the_o same_o usage_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o herod_n persecute_v john_n our_o saviour_n never_o do_v viz._n reprove_v herod_n for_o his_o incestuous_a marriage_n but_o the_o reason_n which_o make_v the_o jew_n so_o incense_v viz._n the_o reprove_v of_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o not_o stand_v for_o the_o ceremony_n our_o saviour_n be_v no_o less_o exact_a than_o john_n he_o depart_v into_o galilee_n the_o place_n from_o whence_o he_o go_v be_v most_o reasonable_o think_v to_o be_v judea_n from_o whence_o he_o go_v to_o avoid_v the_o persecution_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o whole_a country_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v palestina_n which_o be_v in_o length_n from_o dan_n to_o beershoba_n about_o two_o hundred_o

he_o leave_v nazareth_n be_v 1._o either_o because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o far_o off_o from_o the_o jew_n his_o enemy_n 2._o or_o because_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v do_v so_o much_o good_a there_o for_o a_o prophet_n be_v not_o honour_v in_o his_o own_o country_n 3._o or_o to_o fulfil_v the_o prophecy_n 1._o we_o may_v learn_v that_o temporal_a privilege_n do_v not_o obtain_v any_o thing_n

with_o our_o saviour_n we_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o sure_a way_n to_o heaven_n no_o no_o that_o which_o bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n be_v faith_n not_o their_o know_a christ_n but_o their_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o obey_v of_o he_o and_o we_o have_v that_o way_n still_o and_o if_o our_o mean_n of_o believe_v be_v not_o so_o great_a the_o reward_n of_o our_o believe_v shall_v be_v great_a 2._o christ_n leave_v his_o kindred_n acquaintance_n and_o father_n house_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o dwell_v in_o capernaum_n he_o dwell_v there_o because_o it_o be_v very_o remote_a from_o jerusalem_n where_o dwell_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n his_o enemy_n the_o reason_n why_o he_o dwell_v there_o rather_o than_o elsewhere_o thereabouts_o be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o place_n of_o most_o concourse_n of_o people_n be_v the_o metropolis_n of_o galilee_n the_o name_n signify_v the_o city_n of_o consolation_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v build_v in_o joshua_n time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o border_n of_o zabulon_n and_o nephthali_n the_o reason_n why_o st_n matthew_n do_v not_o set_v down_o to_o which_o tribe_n capcrnaum_n do_v belong_v may_v be_v 1._o to_o make_v the_o prophecy_n plain_a to_o be_v understand_v to_o set_v it_o down_o in_o those_o word_n for_o if_o a_o great_a light_n appear_v in_o the_o confine_n of_o zabulon_n which_o be_v next_o to_o nephthali_n or_o in_o the_o confine_n of_o nephthali_n which_o be_v next_o to_o zabulon_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v see_v of_o both_o 2._o because_o haply_o that_o city_n may_v not_o belong_v to_o either_o tribe_n whole_o but_o to_o both_o as_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n so_o also_o other_o city_n belong_v to_o two_o tribe_n as_o appear_v joshua_n 17.8_o 9_o and_o as_o among_o we_o some_o town_n belong_v part_n to_o one_o shire_n and_o part_n to_o another_o verse_n 14._o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v speak_v by_o esaias_n the_o prophet_n say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v the_o phrase_n seem_v strange_a for_o it_o seem_v more_o likely_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v then_o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v for_o it_o seem_v that_o thing_n be_v foretell_v because_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o not_o that_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o they_o be_v foretell_v i_o answer_v that_o divers_a thing_n that_o god_n foretell_v he_o do_v not_o foretell_v to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v prove_v himself_o omniscient_a and_o to_o know_v thing_n before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o if_o so_o than_o thing_n shall_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o they_o be_v foretold_v but_o be_v foretold_v because_o they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o god_n foretell_v they_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v they_o and_o rather_o to_o prove_v his_o omnipotence_n then_o his_o omniscience_n or_o his_o goodness_n so_o that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o capernaum_n to_o perform_v that_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v in_o the_o prophet_n time_n for_o although_o the_o perform_n of_o that_o prophecy_n be_v not_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o christ_n dwelling_n in_o capernaum_n yet_o have_v there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n that_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n first_o intend_v to_o do_v good_a to_o a_o man_n or_o people_n before_o he_o promise_v so_o to_o do_v and_o promise_v so_o to_o do_v if_o at_o all_o he_o promise_v before_o he_o do_v it_o god_n intention_n to_o do_v good_a consider_v his_o immutability_n be_v the_o primary_n cause_n of_o the_o do_v that_o good_a which_o he_o intend_v but_o his_o intention_n lay_v no_o obligation_n whereby_o any_o man_n may_v challenge_v of_o he_o so_o to_o do_v but_o his_o promise_n do_v lay_v a_o obligation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o good_a sense_n to_o say_v he_o do_v so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v promise_v if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v prophesy_v it_o have_v only_o show_v god_n omniscience_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o by_o be_v say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v it_o show_v his_o power_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v to_o pass_v what_o he_o promise_v and_o also_o his_o sidelity_n and_o truth_n in_o bring_v to_o pass_v what_o he_o have_v promise_v again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o so_o it_o be_v fulfil_v it_o not_o import_v any_o act_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o bring_v of_o it_o so_o to_o pass_v but_o only_o of_o his_o prescience_n in_o know_v that_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v it_o do_v no_o way_n oblige_v or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o much_o those_o that_o receive_v that_o blessing_n to_o thankfulness_n it_o may_v make_v they_o admire_v he_o for_o his_o omniscience_n but_o not_o bless_v he_o for_o his_o goodness_n for_o there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o thanks_o due_a to_o he_o that_o tell_v i_o what_o good_a shall_v hereafter_o befall_v i_o but_o there_o be_v many_o thanks_o to_o he_o that_o foretell_v and_o promise_n that_o such_o a_o good_a thing_n he_o will_v do_v for_o i_o observe_v 1._o that_o all_o that_o god_n promise_v he_o bring_v to_o pass_v though_o it_o belong_v after_o wherefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o one_o trust_v in_o his_o promise_n shall_v be_v deceive_v 2._o that_o we_o shall_v as_o christ_n be_v be_v careful_a of_o fulfil_v what_o be_v write_v although_o there_o be_v no_o prophecy_n write_v of_o we_o which_o we_o may_v fulfil_v yet_o there_o be_v command_v give_v we_o which_o we_o may_v fulfil_v and_o command_n be_v as_o much_o god_n word_n as_o prophecy_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n esaias_n st_n matthew_n do_v the_o often_o quote_v scripture_n in_o respect_n that_o he_o write_v to_o the_o jew_n verse_n 15._o the_o land_n of_o zabulon_n and_o the_o land_n of_o nephthali_n by_o the_o way_n of_o the_o sea_n beyond_o jordan_n galilee_n of_o the_o gentile_n the_o land_n of_o zabulon_n and_o the_o land_n of_o nephthali_n that_o that_o prophecy_n in_o isa_n 9.1_o be_v fulfil_v by_o our_o saviour_n dwell_v in_o capernaum_n these_o reason_n make_v evident_a 1._o because_o st_n matthew_n interpret_v it_o who_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n with_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 2._o because_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o chapter_n in_o isaiah_n be_v mean_v of_o our_o saviour_n by_o the_o consent_n general_o of_o the_o rabbin_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o pregnant_a argument_n that_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n shall_v be_v interpret_v otherwise_o if_o the_o follow_a verse_n be_v without_o controversy_n mean_v of_o our_o saviour_n the_o precedent_a verse_n be_v mean_v of_o he_o also_o 3._o the_o coherence_n of_o the_o word_n show_v it_o also_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o people_n that_o have_v sit_v in_o darkness_n have_v see_v a_o great_a light_n and_o some_o other_o blessing_n more_o that_o shall_v be_v bestow_v upon_o they_o in_o

that_o which_o they_o account_v a_o reward_n not_o that_o which_o be_v a_o reward_n verse_n 3._o but_o when_o thou_o do_v alm_n let_v not_o thy_o left_a hand_n know_v what_o thy_o right_a hand_n do_v but_o when_o thou_o do_v alm_n 1._o we_o not_o only_o not_o keep_v a_o account_n and_o exact_o remember_v what_o we_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a but_o at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o we_o give_v it_o we_o be_v not_o much_o to_o make_v what_o we_o give_v it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o after_o thou_o give_v thy_o alm_n thy_o left_a hand_n shall_v not_o know_v but_o when_o thou_o give_v at_o that_o very_a time_n 2._o the_o proverbial_a sense_n be_v this_o that_o none_o though_o they_o be_v as_o near_o to_o we_o as_o our_o left-hand_a be_v to_o our_o right_n shall_v be_v acquaint_v with_o what_o

shall_v know_v it_o or_o 2._o thus_o it_o be_v in_o another_o respect_n to_o show_v how_o private_a our_o alm_n shall_v be_v when_o one_o give_v a_o thing_n with_o both_o hand_n it_o can_v be_v carry_v so_o secret_a as_o when_o one_o give_v with_o one_o therefore_o when_o we_o will_v convey_v a_o piece_n of_o money_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o so_o that_o no_o one_o shall_v see_v we_o we_o do_v it_o with_o one_o of_o our_o hand_n not_o with_o both_o let_v not_o thy_o left-hand_a know_v what_o thy_o right_a hand_n do_v that_o be_v do_v not_o give_v alm_n with_o both_o hand_n since_o you_o may_v give_v they_o more_o private_o with_o one_o 3._o it_o be_v not_o say_v let_v not_o thy_o left_a hand_n know_v to_o who_o thy_o right_a hand_n give_v but_o what_o thy_o right_a hand_n give_v for_o it_o be_v lawful_a nay_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v whether_o the_o person_n to_o who_o we_o give_v want_n or_o no_o and_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o some_o kind_n of_o person_n

who_o they_o give_v they_o call_v the_o people_n together_o that_o they_o may_v see_v who_o give_v 4._o yet_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o take_v some_o notice_n of_o what_o one_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a because_o according_a to_o the_o several_a necessity_n of_o those_o to_o who_o we_o give_v we_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o liberal_a so_o that_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o
