prosperity_n you_o see_v here_o be_v a_o plain_a promise_n make_v not_o for_o a_o day_n but_o always_o not_o temporary_a and_o for_o a_o time_n only_o but_o for_o ever_o the_o one_o estate_n not_o sometime_o but_o still_o exclude_v and_o the_o other_o perpetual_o and_o without_o any_o limitation_n and_o date_n of_o time_n be_v promise_v in_o this_o reason_n thus_o allege_v satan_n and_o sinful_a flesh_n deceive_v the_o simple_a soul_n many_o way_n first_o in_o the_o evil_a application_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o difference_n or_o distinction_n at_o all_o therein_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o or_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v by_o he_o unto_o his_o child_n matter_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o when_o at_o any_o time_n god_n promise_v internal_a prosperity_n in_o spiritual_a and_o inward_a grace_n of_o the_o soul_n satan_n subtle_o appli_v the_o promise_n unto_o thing_n external_a and_o such_o as_o do_v concern_v the_o body_n as_o riches_n health_n good_a success_n in_o affair_n and_o business_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o such_o like_a of_o this_o his_o practice_n we_o have_v a_o example_n in_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o he_o have_v of_o long_a time_n delude_v and_o bewitch_v and_o as_o yet_o do_v delude_v and_o bewitch_v in_o this_o manner_n of_o application_n many_o promise_n be_v make_v in_o the_o prophet_n concern_v the_o temple_n the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o all_o nation_n to_o return_v again_o unto_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o mount_n zion_n all_o which_o the_o jew_n apply_v unto_o themselves_o only_o and_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o themselves_o to_o be_v the_o only_a

of_o the_o scripture_n this_o must_v not_o seem_v strange_a unto_o we_o that_o this_o erroneous_a manner_n of_o application_n be_v in_o the_o jew_n since_o that_o the_o very_a apostle_n of_o our_o

this_o mean_n satan_n labour_v covert_o to_o plant_v both_o in_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o the_o other_o jew_n this_o damnable_a heresy_n that_o unless_o christ_n do_v erect_v and_o set_v up_o such_o a_o kingdom_n in_o this_o people_n he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o promise_a messiah_n in_o like_a sort_n it_o be_v that_o he_o deceive_v many_o by_o wrest_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n to_o a_o wrong_a sense_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o psalm_n etc._n psal_n 1.3_o etc._n etc._n that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v like_o a_o tree_n plant_v by_o the_o

serpent_n wre_v all_o this_o unto_o a_o external_a and_o outward_a estate_n and_o prosperity_n in_o thing_n appertain_v to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o prophet_n word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o spiritual_a prosperity_n and_o inward_a good_a estate_n of_o the_o soul_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n also_o time_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n satan_n do_v in_o like_a manner_n deceive_v the_o simple_a by_o mis-applying_a the_o aforesaid_a promise_n for_o whereas_o god_n in_o make_v his_o promise_n of_o such_o flourish_a estate_n unto_o his_o servant_n respect_v principal_o and_o most_o of_o all_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o they_o shall_v all_o in_o full_a perfection_n be_v establish_v and_o perform_v this_o heavy_a adversary_n of_o mankind_n go_v about_o very_o carnest_o in_o his_o conclusion_n to_o bind_v and_o tie_v all_o unto_o the_o life_n present_a as_o though_o the_o case_n be_v such_o that_o if_o the_o same_o promise_n be_v not_o in_o this_o life_n perform_v than_o they_o can_v not_o be_v perform_v at_o all_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v otherwise_o in_o very_a deed_n for_o if_o they_o be_v in_o any_o wise_a to_o be_v tie_v unto_o this_o life_n yet_o it_o be_v but_o imperfect_o or_o as_o the_o say_n be_v inchoative_o that_o be_v in_o their_o beginning_n only_o but_o in_o fullness_n and_o perfection_n the_o most_o of_o they_o

as_o stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n we_o wayfare_n still_o in_o expectation_n of_o another_o and_o a_o far_o better_a home_n so_o that_o in_o this_o world_n none_o be_v to_o expect_v and_o look_v for_o any_o better_a thing_n than_o the_o common_a accident_n which_o be_v incident_a and_o befalling_a unto_o stranger_n as_o for_o other_o comfort_n we_o must_v stay_v the_o time_n until_o we_o shall_v attain_v unto_o that_o long_v for_o home_n and_o place_n of_o happiness_n which_o be_v heaven_n phrase_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o phrase_n where_o we_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o full_a fruition_n of_o they_o three_o in_o the_o ambiguity_n also_o of_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n satan_n often_o in_o these_o &_o such_o like_a kind_n of_o reason_v do_v deceive_v the_o break_a and_o afflict_a soul_n as_o when_o the_o promise_n respect_v both_o this_o life_n and_o thing_n appertain_v hereunto_o satan_n make_v that_o to_o be_v a_o general_a negation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n which_o be_v most_o especial_o to_o be_v attribute_v only_o to_o the_o continuance_n and_o perperuity_n of_o the_o time_n as_o for_o example_n 55.22_o psal_n 55.22_o psal_n 55.22_o it_o be_v say_v god_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o righteous_a to_o fall_v for_o ever_o 112.6_o psal_n 112.6_o and_o again_o psal_n 112.6_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v for_o ever_o for_o ever_o

in_o very_a deed_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o so_o but_o for_o ever_o they_o shall_v not_o fall_v or_o be_v move_v that_o be_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o abase_v as_o that_o it_o shall_v last_v

be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o the_o lord_n deliver_v they_o out_o of_o all_o wherefore_o i_o will_v wish_v the_o waver_a soul_n neither_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o point_n of_o doctrine_n to_o be_v hasty_a in_o trust_v satan_n with_o these_o his_o general_a term_n but_o rather_o to_o syft_n and_o try_v all_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o as_o they_o be_v agreeable_a or_o
