2_o coming_z of_o christ_n do_v according_o understand_v these_o word_n either_o of_o the_o lord_n glorious_a manifest_v himself_o in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o spiritual_a zion_n of_o which_o see_v the_o note_n ps_n 2.6_o &_o of_o the_o gospel_n come_v forth_o at_o first_o out_o of_o jerusalem_n and_o then_o pass_v forth_o throughout_o the_o world_n or_o of_o god_n appear_v from_o his_o heavenly_a zion_n in_o great_a glory_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o i_o rather_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o description_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v forth_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n in_o that_o great_a controversy_n among_o his_o people_n concern_v the_o right_a performance_n of_o that_o service_n which_o he_o have_v require_v of_o they_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o other_o external_a rite_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n hereof_o we_o must_v note_v 1._o that_o because_o zion_n be_v the_o place_n god_n have_v choose_v for_o this_o service_n therefore_o be_v god_n here_o describe_v as_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o zion_n to_o give_v sentence_n in_o this_o cause_n thereby_o to_o imply_v that_o the_o judgement_n here_o pass_v tend_v not_o to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n enjoin_v by_o moses_n but_o rather_o to_o its_o establishment_n in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o it_o according_a as_o god_n here_o declare_v the_o true_a end_n of_o those_o external_a rite_n to_o have_v be_v and_o that_o whereas_o the_o carnal_a worshipper_n among_o his_o people_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o object_n we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v shine_v to_o we_o out_o of_o zion_n there_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o law_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v impose_v upon_o we_o that_o be_v not_o there_o prescribe_v this_o will_v no_o way_n help_v they_o since_o by_o the_o very_a rule_n of_o that_o law_n god_n will_v judge_v they_o according_a to_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n

there_o shall_v be_v no_o obscurity_n in_o it_o but_o every_o one_o shall_v clear_o see_v how_o they_o ought_v therein_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o 3._o that_o zion_n be_v here_o call_v the_o perfection_n of_o beauty_n because_o there_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n and_o be_v worship_v by_o they_o whilst_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o lie_v in_o dismal_a darkness_n verse_n 3._o our_o god_n shall_v come_v and_o shall_v not_o keep_v silence_n etc._n etc._n see_v the_o note_n exod._n 14.14_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v though_o god_n may_v a_o while_n forbear_v
