be_v several_a account_n may_v be_v give_v of_o it_o one_a because_o those_o place_n have_v spiritual_a and_o gospel_n signification_n even_o as_o the_o jew_n enjoy_v they_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n

mount_v zion_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n on_o the_o high_a part_n the_o temple_n be_v build_v and_o on_o the_o other_o the_o palace_n of_o their_o king_n so_o that_o this_o mount_n be_v typical_o

throughout_o the_o whole_a scripture_n most_o frequent_o to_o represent_v the_o gospel_n in_o judaical_a type_n and_o phrase_n and_o two_o reason_n we_o may_v probable_o suppose_v for_o it_o one_a to_o show_v what_o a_o exact_a agreement_n and_o harmony_n there_o be_v in_o all_o god_n dispensation_n how_o every_o shadow_n true_o represent_v the_o substance_n and_o every_o counterpart_n punctual_o agree_v with_o the_o original_n and_o two_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o promote_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o latter_a time_n when_o they_o shall_v lay_v to_o heart_n and_o consider_v that_o all_o their_o own_o religion_n express_v in_o their_o own_o language_n be_v true_o and_o full_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o christian_a religion_n that_o the_o law_n therein_o be_v

for_o since_o by_o man_n come_v death_n by_o man_n come_v also_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a for_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_n so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a as_o

there_o be_v in_o scripture_n that_o give_v in_o evidence_n to_o this_o truth_n but_o i_o will_v endeavour_v the_o proof_n of_o it_o only_o from_o three_o text_n the_o first_o of_o which_o as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o matter_n be_v very_o probable_a the_o other_o two_o very_a positive_a the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o 65th_o of_o esau_n the_o wolf_n and_o the_o lamb_n shall_v feed_v

mountain_n say_v the_o lord_n this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o plain_a prophecy_n of_o the_o deliverance_n and_o restoration_n of_o the_o creature_n when_o the_o primitive_a order_n of_o creation_n be_v lose_v as_o man_n fall_v into_o rebellion_n against_o god_n so_o the_o creature_n fall_v into_o rebellion_n against_o he_o and_o into_o implacable_a enmity_n one_o against_o another_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o creature_n recovery_n and_o of_o their_o reconciliation_n towards_o man_n and_o towards_o each_o other_o some_o take_v it_o for_o a_o metaphorical_a description_n of_o the_o future_a effect_n of_o the_o gospel_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o wicked_a bestial_a and_o unreasonable_a man_n and_o that_o reconciliation_n and_o harmony_n the_o gospel_n shall_v produce_v among_o mankind_n but_o i_o conceive_v this_o text_n be_v literal_o to_o be_v understand_v and_o can_v be_v fair_o so_o take_v for_o divers_a considerable_a reason_n one_a because_o the_o time_n to_o which_o this_o prophecy_n relate_v and_o in_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v accomplish_v be_v when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n and_o what_o more_o proper_a to_o

back_o to_o the_o 17_o verse_n and_o read_v on_o to_o this_o for_o behold_v i_o create_v new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n and_o the_o former_a shall_v not_o be_v remember_v nor_o come_v into_o mind_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o the_o 25_o and_o last_o verse_n be_v a_o perfect_a description_n of_o the_o state_n of_o this_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n and_o the_o happy_a condition_n the_o creation_n shall_v be_v restore_v unto_o this_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n be_v to_o be_v at_o christ_n second_o come_v when_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v for_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n and_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o scripture-phrase_n be_v the_o same_o and_o what_o time_n so_o likely_a so_o fit_a and_o proper_a for_o this_o to_o be_v effect_v as_o then_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a it_o must_v be_v then_o or_o never_o the_o other_o prophecy_n of_o this_o matter_n in_o the_o 11_o chapter_n of_o this_o prophecy_n in_o these_o word_n the_o wolf_n also_o shall_v dwell_v with_o the_o lamb_n and_o the_o leopard_n shall_v lie_v down_o with_o the_o kid_n and_o the_o calf_n and_o the_o young_a lion_n and_o the_o fatle_a

two_o it_o seem_v more_o reasonable_a to_o take_v this_o text_n literal_o than_o metaphorical_o allow_v for_o the_o rhetoric_n of_o the_o prophetic_a style_n because_o these_o opposite_a creature_n be_v say_v to_o lie_v down_o and_o quiet_o cohabit_v one_o with_o another_o retain_v their_o own_o distinct_a and_o proper_a nature_n still_o though_o a_o lion_n lie_v down_o with_o a_o lamb_n yet_o he_o be_v a_o lion_n still_o the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o prophecy_n lie_v in_o that_o that_o a_o lion_n while_o a_o lion_n shall_v lie_v down_o with_o the_o lamb_n the_o creature_n be_v the_o same_o only_o the_o hurtful_a enmity_n remove_v now_o shall_v we_o take_v it_o metaphorical_o the_o gospel-change_n be_v rather_o to_o make_v a_o lion_n a_o lamb_n to_o alter_v the_o very_a nature_n and_o disposition_n and_o to_o infuse_v new_a habit_n and_o quality_n and_o so_o a_o lamb_n will_v lie_v down_o with_o a_o lamb_n and_o not_o a_o lion_n or_o a_o wolf_n with_o a_o lamb_n if_o we_o take_v it_o in_o strict_a sense_n and_o than_o what_o be_v intend_v to_o signify_v will_v not_o well_o agree_v to_o what_o be_v signify_v three_o some_o part_n and_o passage_n of_o these_o prophecy_n

the_o removal_n of_o the_o creature_n enmity_n one_o to_o another_o and_o their_o devour_v one_o another_o as_o a_o effect_n thereof_o seem_v to_o be_v single_o and_o literal_o signify_v and_o a_o
