this_o time_n of_o the_o year_n that_o all_o professor_n of_o christianity_n may_v now_o especial_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n their_o most_o solemn_a thanksgiving_n for_o that_o inestimable_a blessing_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o will_v be_v beneath_o the_o piety_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n shall_v we_o pass_v over_o the_o memorial_n of_o his_o wonderful_a nativity_n without_o the_o most_o public_a expression_n of_o devotion_n which_o the_o most_o sensible_a heart_n can_v possible_o give_v since_o he_o be_v once_o usherd_v into_o the_o world_n not_o only_o with_o the_o miraculous_a birth_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n to_o prepare_v his_o way_n as_o his_o herald_n and_o forerunner_n but_o also_o by_o a_o majestic_a train_n of_o glorious_a angel_n and_o by_o the_o whole_a goodly_a fellowship_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o have_v speak_v since_o prophesy_v first_o begin_v it_o be_v that_o which_o zacharias_n now_o nay_o which_o our_o saviour_n himself_o afterward_o and_o his_o apostle_n after_o he_o take_v notice_n of_o especial_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n of_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v thing_n write_v which_o do_v plain_o concern_v he_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n before_o have_v show_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o prophet_n he_o fulfil_v in_o he_o and_o that_o to_o he_o give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n for_o this_o be_v a_o convince_a argument_n of_o his_o own_o divine_a authority_n and_o of_o the_o unquestionable_a truth_n of_o his_o religion_n that_o every_o thing_n be_v accomplish_v in_o he_o whatsoever_o be_v before_o speak_v of_o the_o messiah_n by_o those_o extraordinary_a man_n who_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o by_o his_o own_o immediate_a power_n in_o all_o age_n to_o foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n such_o and_o such_o thing_n record_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n come_v of_o his_o birth_n parentage_n person_n condition_n of_o life_n doctrine_n miracle_n suffering_n death_n resurrection_n ascension_n and_o of_o the_o strange_a and_o sudden_a propagation_n of_o his_o religion_n that_o be_v to_o be_v among_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o when_o we_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n how_o accurate_o all_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o bless_a jesus_n and_o in_o he_o alone_o so_o that_o the_o history_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v a_o very_a plain_a counterpart_n of_o the_o prophet_n prediction_n we_o have_v the_o high_a reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v he_o who_o be_v to_o come_v and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o another_o but_o of_o all_o these_o prediction_n zacharias_n here_o single_v out_o one_o which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o our_o present_a meditation_n viz._n that_o promise_v make_v to_o abraham_n gen._n 22._o whereof_o this_o be_v a_o part_n that_o his_o seed_n shall_v possess_v the_o gate_n of_o his_o enemy_n v._o 17._o he_o say_v not_o thy_o seed_n as_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o many_o but_o as_o of_o one_o thy_o seed_n which_o be_v christ_n say_v st._n paul_n gal._n 3._o 6._o and_o so_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o prediction_n be_v this_o that_o god_n will_v in_o his_o due_a time_n most_o certain_o raise_v up_o a_o eminent_a person_n the_o messiah_n of_o the_o numerous_a posterity_n of_o abrabam_fw-la that_o shall_v not_o only_o bless_v his_o people_n by_o turn_v they_o away_o from_o their_o iniquity_n but_o shall_v moreover_o protect_v and_o defend_v they_o by_o exercise_v his_o victorious_a power_n even_o over_o the_o strong_a of_o their_o enemy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a sense_n of_o zacharias_n here_o though_o he_o express_v himself_o in_o somewhat_o a_o different_a form_n of_o word_n speak_v now_o of_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o holy_a virgin_n womb_n god_n have_v raise_v up_o a_o horn_n of_o salvation_n for_o we_o in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o servant_n david_n as_o he_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o holy_a prophet_n which_o have_v be_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o our_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o that_o hate_v we_o in_o discourse_v upon_o which_o word_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o show_v 1._o what_o those_o enemy_n be_v from_o who_o hand_n we_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o messiah_n 2._o how_o the_o prediction_n touch_v this_o deliverance_n be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o bless_a jesus_n or_o how_o his_o providence_n be_v show_v in_o save_v we_o from_o our_o enemy_n 3._o and_o so_o in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o draw_v down_o this_o consideration_n to_o our_o christian_a practice_n 1._o what_o those_o enemy_n be_v from_o who_o hand_n we_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o messiah_n some_o understand_v it_o only_o of_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n as_o of_o sin_n which_o without_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n must_v have_v reign_v in_o our_o mortal_a body_n of_o death_n which_o without_o his_o victory_n over_o the_o grave_a must_v have_v hold_v we_o to_o all_o eternity_n and_o of_o the_o devil_n who_o without_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n will_v have_v captivate_v we_o by_o his_o wiles_n and_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o condemnation_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n give_v of_o our_o saviour_n partake_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o through_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o who_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n heb._n 2._o 14._o and_o indeed_o these_o deliverance_n be_v of_o the_o great_a consequence_n by_o far_o and_o so_o the_o fit_a for_o the_o messiah_n to_o accomplish_v because_o they_o immediate_o concern_v our_o immortal_a soul_n and_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o endless_a happiness_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o another_o world_n but_o yet_o by_o the_o salvation_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o text_n must_v be_v mean_v also_o deliverance_n from_o our_o temporal_a enemy_n or_o from_o such_o as_o visible_o and_o forcible_o oppose_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o religion_n 1._o for_o first_o zacharias_n now_o speak_v like_o a_o jew_n as_o one_o that_o may_v expect_v as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jew_n nay_o as_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o for_o some_o time_n do_v a_o glorious_a temporal_a deliverer_n that_o shall_v set_v up_o his_o throne_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o go_v in_o and_o out_o before_o they_o after_o a_o pompous_a manner_n as_o david_n and_o other_o of_o their_o king_n have_v do_v though_o as_o to_o this_o particular_a circumstance_n they_o be_v mistake_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n yet_o those_o prediction_n on_o which_o these_o their_o expectation_n be_v ground_v do_v plain_o argue_v that_o the_o messiah_n be_v not_o whole_o to_o shut_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o how_o inglorious_a soever_o his_o suffer_a state_n may_v be_v yet_o be_v once_o exalt_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n he_o be_v to_o be_v enstate_v king_n of_o king_n and_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o office_n be_v to_o be_v not_o only_o to_o make_v all_o due_a provision_n for_o our_o soul_n but_o moreover_o to_o take_v care_n even_o of_o the_o outward_a state_n of_o his_o church_n by_o exercise_v his_o sovereignty_n over_o all_o by_o watch_v all_o affair_n here_o below_o by_o direct_v all_o occurrence_n to_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o kingdom_n by_o subdue_a his_n and_o his_o church_n enemy_n and_o by_o defend_v his_o faithful_a servant_n so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o it_o serve_v for_o their_o good_a and_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n because_o the_o power_n of_o defend_v be_v a_o very_a necessary_a part_n of_o his_o sovereign_a authority_n 2._o for_o second_o be_v it_o not_o thus_o what_o fair_a construction_n can_v we_o make_v of_o a_o great_a many_o prophecy_n relate_v to_o the_o messiah_n that_o all_o his_o enemy_n shall_v be_v make_v his_o footstool_n that_o they_o shall_v
