unbelieving_a and_o unfaithful_a therefore_o we_o that_o be_v believe_v and_o faithful_a we_o shall_v inherit_v that_o rest_n this_o i_o think_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n follow_v as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o who_o i_o swear_v in_o my_o wrath_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o my_o rest_n now_o because_o the_o apostle_n have_v reason_v long_o and_o much_o out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o will_v yet_o reason_v long_o he_o wise_o foresee_v what_o may_v be_v here_o answer_v of_o the_o jew_n ▪_o that_o this_o place_n be_v of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n mean_v of_o their_o entrance_n into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n under_o condition_n of_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o therefore_o rather_o teach_v they_o to_o keep_v still_o those_o ordinance_n then_o to_o change_v they_o for_o new_a &_o follow_v this_o jesus_n of_o whomethey_a have_v not_o hear_v before_o this_o cogitation_n may_v easy_o arise_v and_o they_o may_v soon_o be_v so_o persuade_v that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o present_a time_n now_o therefore_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o apostle_n take_v away_o this_o offence_n and_o doubt_n teach_v that_o not_o unto_o they_o only_o but_o to_o we_o also_o it_o be_v speak_v and_o with_o this_o caution_n prove_v with_o other_o argument_n the_o former_a doctrine_n that_o by_o faith_n ground_v in_o our_o prophet_n jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o his_o rest_n and_o he_o say_v thus_o especial_o see_v his_o work_v be_v finish_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n the_o word_n which_o be_v here_o common_o translate_v although_o i_o english_a it_n thus_o especial_o see_v which_o i_o do_v because_o the_o sense_n well_o agree_v and_o i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o the_o word_n may_v well_o bear_v it_o so_o now_o touch_v the_o objection_n before_o make_v the_o apostle_n answer_v thus_o neither_o can_v this_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n in_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n for_o when_o neither_o the_o law_n be_v yet_o give_v neither_o the_o land_n once_o promise_v yet_o then_o be_v this_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n into_o which_o his_o people_n do_v enter_v for_o the_o scripture_n say_v even_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n now_o this_o objection_n thus_o be_v confute_v there_o be_v also_o in_o these_o word_n the_o second_o reason_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n before_o teach_v that_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o lord_n rest_v which_o do_v believe_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o see_v god_n finish_v his_o work_v straight_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o then_o he_o be_v say_v to_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n man_n enter_v not_o into_o that_o rest_n by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v not_o give_v nor_o by_o any_o work_v of_o flesh_n which_o be_v ever_o unprofitable_a but_o it_o be_v clear_a than_o we_o enter_v by_o faith_n according_a to_o this_o which_o be_v write_v to_o day_n if_o you_o hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n this_o argument_n be_v plain_a in_o these_o word_n especial_o see_v his_o work_n be_v finish_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o he_o say_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n thus_o and_o god_n rest_v in_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o all_o his_o work_n but_o of_o this_o argument_n we_o will_v speak_v again_o in_o the_o nine_o verse_n here_o the_o apostle_n may_v seem_v to_o some_o of_o we_o to_o reason_v not_o very_o strong_o for_o how_o prove_v he_o that_o it_o be_v one_o rest_n of_o which_o it_o be_v say_v you_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o my_o rest_n and_o again_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n for_o the_o one_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o god_n alone_o the_o other_o a_o figurative_a promise_n set_v out_o unto_o we_o but_o this_o doubt_n be_v soon_o take_v away_o for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v it_o not_o also_o say_v he_o bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o h●…lowed_v it_o which_o be_v he_o appoint_v it_o to_o this_o holy_a exercise_n that_o man_n shall_v leave_v off_o his_o other_o thought_n and_o consider_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o creature_n whereon_o after_o he_o give_v his_o law_n write_v remember_v thou_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v but_o the_o seven_o &_o c_o by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o rest_n be_v the_o same_o unto_o which_o they_o be_v after_o call_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n word_n how_o apt_a they_o be_v to_o his_o purpose_n it_o follow_v now_o and_o in_o this_o place_n again_o if_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o my_o rest_n in_o these_o word_n the_o apostle_n teach_v that_o this_o be_v also_o the_o same_o rest_n which_o the_o first_o be_v where_o we_o see_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v there_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o in_o his_o holy_a place_n praise_v god_n day_n &_o night_n who_o have_v deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o cruel_a bondage_n of_o egypt_n &_o from_o all_o hurt_n of_o the_o great_a &_o terrible_a wilderness_n in_o stead_n of_o which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o a_o most_o pleasant_a country_n that_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n now_o upon_o the_o warrant_n of_o all_o this_o truth_n that_o one_o rest_n have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n though_o the_o name_n may_v be_v often_o name_v in_o sundry_a respect_n as_o first_o it_o be_v so_o call_v because_o god_n rest_v from_o his_o work_n again_o because_o the_o people_n enter_v into_o a_o peaceable_a land_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o perilous_a desert_n so_o upon_o other_o occasion_n this_o name_n of_o rest_n be_v name_v but_o all_o in_o one_o spiritual_a sense_n that_o be_v now_o a_o cease_v from_o our_o own_o work_n to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o after_o this_o to_o dwell_v in_o the_o peace_n and_o rest_n of_o his_o glory_n for_o ever_o therefore_o where_o promise_v of_o entrance_n into_o his_o rest_n be_v it_o be_v a_o promise_n make_v unto_o all_o and_o of_o all_o age_n upon_o this_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n say_v further_a see_v therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o some_o must_v enter_v thereinto_o &_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v first_o preach_v enter_v not_o because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n again_o he_o appoint_v in_o david_n a_o certain_a day_n by_o to_o day_n say_v after_o so_o long_a time_n as_o it_o be_v already_o allege_a to_o day_n if_o you_o if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n in_o all_o these_o word_n he_o conclude_v as_o he_o teach_v before_o that_o see_v this_o rest_n have_v be_v ever_o set_v out_o to_o our_o first_o father_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n yet_o they_o enter_v not_o for_o unbelief_n see_v it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o some_o must_v needs_o enter_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v enjoy_v therefore_o in_o david_n it_o be_v again_o say_v to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v y_fw-fr we_o which_o do_v believe_v shall_v enter_v into_o his_o rest_n so_o in_o these_o two_o verse_n be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o two_o former_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o only_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v enter_v in_o to_o his_o rest_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o 3._o 4._o 5._o 6._o and_o 7._o verse_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o 8._o verse_n for_o if_o jesus_n have_v give_v they_o rest_n he_o will_v not_o have_v speak_v of_o any_o other_o rest_n after_o these_o word_n prove_v by_o a_o other_o reason_n that_o the_o former_a prophecy_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n according_a to_o the_o objection_n before_o speak_v of_o &_o his_o reason_n be_v this_o josua_n lead_v they_o into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n a_o great_a many_o year_n before_o the_o prophet_n david_n make_v this_o exhortation_n if_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v mean_v of_o that_o land_n to_o what_o purpose_n do_v david_n speak_v thus_o so_o long_o after_o can_v it_o be_v threaten_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o that_o rest_n into_o which_o they_o have_v already_o enter_v and_o dwell_v there_o four_o hundred_o year_n upon_o this_o reason_n he_o conclude_v in_o the_o nine_o verse_n therefore_o there_o remain_v yet_o a_o rest_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o god._n in_o the_o ten_o verse_n he_o show_v at_o the_o last_o what_o this_o rest_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v no_o long_o walk_v in_o our_o will_n but_o
by_o soul_n here_o he_o mean_v that_o part_n of_o we_o in_o which_o our_o affection_n be_v as_o joy_n sorrow_n love_n hatred_n anger_n mildness_n or_o any_o such_o motion_n of_o we_o of_o good_a or_o

he_o add_v now_o the_o cause_n and_o ground_n of_o that_o say_n because_o they_o must_v be_v of_o one_o nature_n both_o he_o that_o lead_v &_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v into_o this_o salvation_n now_o because_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v so_o plain_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o he_o be_v perfect_a man_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o yet_o not_o in_o our_o own_o nature_n but_o be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o grace_n we_o be_v make_v child_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n change_v his_o former_a speech_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o say_v he_o that_o lead_v into_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o work_n speak_v of_o he_o say_v he_o that_o sanctify_v name_v the_o virtue_n incident_a by_o which_o the_o work_n be_v do_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v which_o be_v

they_o think_v pleasant_o with_o themselves_o what_o manner_n of_o body_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o eternal_a judgement_n though_o it_o make_v they_o sometime_o afraid_a yet_o they_o encourage_v then selue_o again_o &_o say_v tush_o it_o be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o thus_o they_o have_v turn_v light_n into_o darkness_n knowledge_n into_o ignorance_n hope_v into_o error_n faith_n into_o

they_o be_v now_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v past_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n &_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o roman_n they_o have_v a_o heart_n y_fw-es can_v repent_v so_o say_v s._n

here_o to_o consider_v be_v with_o what_o mind_n they_o do_v commit_v this_o great_a sin_n which_o here_o the_o apostle_n set_v out_o with_o these_o word_n they_o crucify_v again_o unto_o themselves_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o he_o which_o what_o can_v it_o be_v else_o but_o even_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o say_v that_o

again_o with_o all_o opprobry_n and_o shame_n &_o where_o it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v this_o unto_o themselves_o it_o note_v how_o desirous_o &_o willing_o &_o with_o what_o consent_n of_o mind_n they_o do_v it_o even_o so_o as_o they_o will_v again_o have_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n a_o mock_a stock_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o their_o own_o conscience_n be_v their_o accuser_n of_o most_o wicked_a rebellion_n against_o god_n this_o also_o appear_v plain_a in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthew_n where_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v accuse_v y_fw-fr phariseis_n of_o this_o great_a sin_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o see_v their_o thought_n so_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v magnify_v by_o the_o preach_n 45._o of_o
