that_o almighty_a god_n speak_v himself_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o i_o say_v which_o pertain_v to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o edomite_n be_v certain_a for_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o unto_o this_o part_n also_o pertain_v the_o title_n of_o the_o prophecy_n in_o that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o vision_n of_o vision_n there_o be_v often_o mention_v make_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremy_n ezechiel_n &_o daniel_n and_o in_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n daniel_n 7.1_o in_o a_o dream_n see_v a_o vision_n of_o four_o beast_n and_o saint_n john_n in_o a_o trance_n see_v a_o vision_n of_o seven_o candlestick_n 1.12_o of_o this_o and_o such_o other_o vision_n his_o whole_a book_n of_o revelation_n consist_v which_o be_v declaration_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v by_o similitude_n &_o dark_a kind_n of_o speech_n but_o in_o this_o prophecy_n a_o vision_n be_v otherwise_o understand_v for_o it_o signify_v here_o a_o declaration_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v in_o plain_a word_n without_o any_o similitude_n or_o allegory_n as_o a_o prophet_n in_o old_a time_n be_v call_v a_o seer_n 9.9_o so_o here_o the_o prophecy_n of_o abdias_n be_v call_v the_o sight_n or_o vision_n of_o abdias_n 24.11_o a_o prophet_n in_o old_a time_n be_v call_v a_o seer_n because_o he_o do_v foresee_v thing_n that_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v afterward_o so_o here_o abdias_n prophecy_n be_v call_v a_o vision_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n foresee_v that_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v in_o time_n to_o come_v these_o two_o be_v both_o one_o in_o effect_n a_o vision_n and_o a_o prophecy_n yet_o some_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o for_o a_o vision_n be_v a_o revelation_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bring_v to_o pass_v afterward_o and_o a_o prophecy_n be_v a_o utter_v of_o that_o be_v reveal_v as_o prophet_n be_v divers_a so_o be_v prophecy_n some_o false_a &_o some_o true_a but_o a_o vision_n be_v always_o certain_a so_o call_v because_o it_o be_v see_v &_o revel_v by_o god_n unto_o man_n that_o be_v true_o call_v a_o vision_n whereof_o we_o can_v testify_v that_o have_v see_v it_o whatsoever_o writing_n may_v true_o be_v so_o call_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v be_v true_a therefore_o the_o prophet_n give_v this_o title_n unto_o his_o prophecy_n to_o declare_v the_o certainty_n thereof_o our_o saviour_n use_v the_o like_o argument_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o doctrine_n say_v that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v i_o testify_v unto_o you_o and_o after_o this_o sort_n s_o john_n 8.38_o begin_v his_o first_o epistle_n 1.1_o say_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hear_v which_o we_o have_v see_v with_o our_o eye_n which_o we_o have_v look_v upon_o which_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v that_o declare_v we_o unto_o you_o the_o title_n of_o this_o prophecy_n be_v almost_o one_o with_o this_o title_n of_o s._n john_n epistle_n for_o the_o vision_n of_o abdias_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o that_o which_o abdias_n have_v see_v or_o that_o which_o god_n have_v reveal_v unto_o he_o for_o a_o certainty_n to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o i_o say_v this_o prophecy_n be_v call_v a_o vision_n because_o this_o word_n contain_v in_o it_o a_o argument_n that_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o deed_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v or_o rather_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o because_o god_n reveal_v it_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v call_v his_o vision_n at_o what_o time_n this_o prophecy_n be_v reveal_v or_o at_o what_o time_n abdias_n utter_v it_o be_v not_o express_o declare_v either_o in_o this_o book_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o jew_n write_v that_o this_o be_v the_o same_o abdias_n that_o live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n ahab_n and_o do_v save_v a_o hundred_o of_o the_o true_a prophet_n 3030._o hide_v they_o by_o fifty_o &_o fifty_o in_o a_o cave_n and_o give_v they_o necessary_a sustenance_n but_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o jew_n seem_v contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o show_v that_o abdias_n live_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o jeremy_n and_o ezechiell_n prophesy_v 49.7_o for_o they_o prophesy_v all_o against_o one_o and_o the_o same_o people_n they_o all_o declare_v the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n of_o the_o edomite_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o destruction_n abdias_n do_v agree_v in_o word_n with_o jeremy_n as_o though_o he_o have_v learn_v the_o manner_n of_o handle_v his_o prophecy_n of_o he_o as_o the_o scholar_n of_o the_o master_n therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o live_v and_o prophesy_v both_o at_o one_o time_n which_o be_v when_o nabuchodonosor_n have_v destroy_v jerusalem_n and_o carry_v the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o prisoner_n unto_o babylon_n which_o captivity_n be_v full_a three_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o reign_n of_o achab._n therefore_o that_o abdias_n which_o be_v in_o his_o time_n can_v not_o be_v alive_a in_o these_o day_n moses_n in_o his_o prayer_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n 2490._o say_v that_o in_o his_o day_n the_o age_n of_o man_n be_v but_o threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o in_o achab_n time_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o man_n age_n be_v rather_o shorten_v than_o prolong_v because_o in_o his_o day_n the_o world_n be_v above_o five_o hundred_o year_n old_a than_o it_o be_v in_o moses_n time_n for_o the_o old_a the_o world_n be_v the_o short_a be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n although_o some_o man_n live_v now_o a_o day_n long_o than_o the_o common_a sort_n do_v yet_o the_o age_n of_o man_n common_o be_v but_o threescore_o or_o fourscore_o year_n so_o moses_n live_v a_o hundred_o &_o twenty_o year_n and_o if_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v so_o beneficial_a to_o abdias_n that_o be_v in_o ahabs_n time_n that_o he_o live_v .40_o year_n long_o than_o the_o common_a age_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o live_v unto_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n for_o than_o he_o must_v have_v live_v above_o three_o hundred_o year_n therefore_o our_o abdias_n and_o he_o be_v diverse_a person_n as_o their_o state_n &_o condition_n be_v diverse_a for_o the_o one_o be_v a_o lay_a man_n &_o the_o other_o a_o clergy_n man_n the_o one_o be_v a_o courtier_n &_o the_o other_o a_o prophet_n but_o in_o this_o they_o do_v both_o agree_v that_o they_o may_v both_o be_v true_o name_v abdias_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n for_o they_o both_o do_v god_n good_a service_n the_o one_o in_o save_v his_o prophet_n from_o the_o cruel_a tyranny_n of_o jesabel_n and_o in_o give_v they_o bodily_a sustenance_n the_o other_o in_o utter_v the_o prophecy_n that_o god_n have_v reveal_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o feed_v his_o people_n with_o spiritual_a food_n the_o food_n wherewith_o the_o prophet_n feed_v god_n people_n be_v the_o food_n of_o consolation_n and_o comfort_n which_o be_v minister_v by_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o certain_a destruction_n of_o their_o enemy_n which_o be_v declare_v unto_o they_o in_o these_o word_n thus_o have_v the_o lord_n jehova_n say_v the_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o adonai_n be_v the_o hebrew_n word_n which_o signify_v such_o a_o lord_n as_o be_v

of_o a_o lamb_n undefiled_a and_o without_o spot_n according_a to_o this_o figurative_a and_o mystical_a interpretation_n the_o apostle_n expound_v the_o history_n of_o abraham_n two_o wife_n and_o
