unto_o cyrus_n thou_o be_v my_o shepherd_n according_o cyrus_n take_v order_n for_o gather_v the_o scatter_a sheep_n of_o israel_n for_o raise_v they_o up_o from_o a_o kind_n of_o civil_a death_n from_o slavery_n to_o freedom_n from_o banishment_n to_o resettle_v they_o in_o their_o own_o country_n but_o allow_v this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o text_n in_o its_o first_o literal_a meaning_n

of_o the_o morning-light_n and_o this_o day_n of_o his_o be_v to_o be_v as_o the_o morning_n as_o the_o dayspring_n from_o on_o high_a to_o dispel_v the_o darkness_n by_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o

the_o world_n the_o influence_n of_o his_o heavenly_a doctrine_n both_o of_o grace_n and_o glory_n and_o as_o he_o be_v liken_v to_o the_o light_n so_o he_o be_v also_o set_v forth_o in_o my_o text_n by_o that_o other_o great_a blessing_n from_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n the_o rain_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o as_o the_o rain_n so_o say_v the_o psalmist_n he_o shall_v come_v down_o like_o the_o rain_n into_o a_o fleece_n of_o wool_n so_o gentle_a so_o refresh_v and_o so_o fructify_a even_o as_o the_o drop_v that_o water_n the_o earth_n a_o emblem_n of_o christ_n that_o isaiah_n delight_v to_o use_v drop_v down_o you_o heaven_n from_o above_o and_o let_v the_o sky_n pour_v down_o righteousness_n but_o there_o be_v something_o more_o imply_v in_o his_o come_v unto_o we_o as_o the_o latter_a and_o former_a rain_n unto_o the_o earth_n for_o in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o holy_a land_n that_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n it_o be_v one_o of_o their_o blessing_n that_o these_o rain_n come_v at_o set-time_n and_o season_n not_o so_o uncertain_o as_o in_o these_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o former_a rain_n about_o the_o time_n of_o sow_v their_o seed_n the_o latter_a rain_n about_o this_o very_a time_n in_o the_o spring_n and_o if_o christ_n be_v there_o compare_v to_o that_o former_a autumnal_a and_o this_o latter_a easter_n rain_n it_o be_v easy_a from_o our_o own_o thought_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o parallel_n that_o he_o come_v like_o the_o former_a rain_n at_o his_o holy_a nativity_n and_o like_o the_o latter_a rain_n at_o his_o new_a birth_n for_o so_o his_o resurrection_n be_v call_v and_o thus_o compare_v as_o well_o as_o his_o eternal_a generation_n the_o dew_n of_o thy_o birth_n be_v as_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o

the_o article_n may_v be_v inquire_v into_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mystery_n of_o faith_n or_o as_o it_o contain_v the_o effect_n the_o consequence_n of_o these_o great_a thing_n that_o christ_n either_o act_v or_o suffer_v for_o we_o so_o the_o power_n of_o his_o resurrection_n as_o st._n paul_n call_v it_o be_v also_o set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n he_o shall_v revive_v we_o he_o shall_v raise_v we_o up_o again_o and_o we_o shall_v live_v in_o his_o sight_n he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o as_o the_o rain_n as_o the_o latter_a and_o former_a rain_n unto_o the_o earth_n but_o three_o here_o be_v a_o obligation_n upon_o our_o part_n or_o a_o condition_n impose_v upon_o we_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o reap_v advantage_n from_o this_o reveal_v doctrine_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o we_o then_o must_v these_o principle_n be_v pursue_v extreme_o home_o and_o we_o must_v go_v on_o throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n to_o practice_v according_o then_o shall_v we_o
