A85411	A post-script, or appendix to a treatise lately published by authority, intituled, Hagio-Mastix, or the scourge of the saints displaid in his colours of ignorance and blood. Being an explication of the third verse of the thirteenth chapter of the prophecie of Zacharie; (the tenour whereof is this: and it shall come to passe, that when any shall yet prophecie, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, thou shalt not live, for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him, shall thrust him through when he prophecieth.) According to the analogie of the Sriptures [sic], the scope and exigency of the context, and the sence of the best expositors upon the place. / By John Goodwin a servant of God and men, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.; Hagiomastix.

the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v no_o intent_n as_o all_o to_o countenance_v the_o interposal_n of_o the_o civil_a sword_n for_o the_o suppression_n or_o punishment_n of_o error_n or_o heresy_n under_o

when_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v lie_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n respect_v only_o the_o nation_n and_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n nor_o be_v there_o the_o least_o hint_n or_o intimation_n

and_o circumscriptive_o of_o the_o church_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v a_o true_a and_o frequent_a observation_n among_o interpreter_n that_o the_o word_n land_n indefinite_o put_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old-testament_n always_o in_o such_o construction_n as_o this_o viz._n where_o no_o particular_a country_n or_o people_n beside_o be_v treat_v of_o signify_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o jew_n 3._o some_o of_o our_o best_a and_o most_o orthodox_a expositor_n understand_v not_o only_o the_o present_a context_n i_o mean_v the_o passage_n

tract_n or_o space_n of_o time_n which_o begin_v with_o the_o restauration_n of_o this_o church_n and_o state_n by_o the_o macchabee_n after_o the_o devastation_n and_o profanation_n of_o antiochus_n and_o end_v with_o the_o siege_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o city_n and_o temple_n itself_o of_o jerusalem_n which_o they_o conceive_v and_o that_o true_o to_o be_v predict_v and_o describe_v in_o

the_o final_a destruction_n of_o their_o city_n and_o temple_n when_o according_a to_o the_o general_a and_o constant_a opinion_n both_o of_o ancient_a and_o modern_a divine_n the_o mosaical_a

this_o be_v foretell_v by_o god_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o special_a benefit_n or_o blessing_n which_o the_o church_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n shall_v enjoy_v as_o it_o seem_v here_o to_o be_v viz._n that_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o purity_n of_o religion_n shall_v be_v so_o great_a and_o prevalent_a among_o they_o that_o parent_n themselves_o shall_v do_v justice_n and_o that_o even_o unto_o death_n upon_o their_o own_o child_n when_o they_o prove_v false_a prophet_n and_o teacher_n of_o lie_n do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o it_o will_v and_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o proportionable_a benefit_n and_o blessing_n to_o all_o other_o church_n and_o nation_n when_o their_o respective_a magistrate_n shall_v proceed_v with_o the_o like_a zeal_n against_o the_o like_a delinquent_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o be_v it_o grant_v that_o not_o only_o civil_a magistrate_n i_o mean_v but_o even_o natural_a parent_n themselves_o lawful_o may_v yea_o and_o of_o duty_n ought_v in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o proceed_v with_o the_o like_a zeal_n against_o the_o like_a delinquent_n yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o they_o lawful_o may_v much_o less_o that_o of_o duty_n they_o ought_v to_o express_v or_o act_v their_o zeal_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n or_o with_o the_o self_n same_o kind_n of_o expression_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o
