of_o david_n or_o typical_o of_o all_o pious_a and_o religious_a king_n so_o the_o lord_n say_v of_o solomon_n if_o he_o sin_v i_o will_v chasten_v he_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o man_n but_o my_o love_a

all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n now_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v this_o present_a scripture_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v typical_o fulfil_v in_o they_o and_o show_v forth_o unto_o we_o for_o a_o example_n 1_o corinth_n 10.11_o as_o appear_v thus_o johns_n disciple_n desire_v to_o know_v whether_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a expect_a messiah_n or_o not_o christ_n prove_v that_o he_o be_v because_o i._o he_o cure_v and_o heal_v the_o body_n of_o man_n both_o of_o blindness_n lameness_n deafness_n deadness_n and_o leprosy_n yea_o all_o these_o both_o historical_o and_o allegorical_o and_o because_o ii_o he_o enlighten_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n by_o the_o gospel_n christ_n cure_v their_o corporal_a malady_n for_o the_o blind_a receive_v their_o sight_n etc._n etc._n here_o observe_v first_o i_o confess_v that_o these_o thing_n have_v a_o historical_a truth_n that_o be_v that_o christ_n do_v true_o and_o real_o cure_v corporal_a blindness_n as_o john_n 9.29_o second_o that_o the_o prophecy_n concern_v christ_n do_v in_o part_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o as_o esa_n 35.5_o it_o be_v foretell_v that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a and_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o deaf_a etc._n etc._n yea_o otherwise_o our_o saviour_n argument_n be_v nothing_o they_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n or_o not_o he_o say_v he_o be_v and_o prove_v it_o thus_o the_o messiah_n shall_v heal_v the_o lame_a blind_a deaf_a and_o leprous_a and_o shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a esa_n 35.5.6_o but_o i_o do_v and_o have_v do_v all_o this_o therefore_o i_o be_o the_o messiah_n three_o withal_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o prophet_n esay_n in_o that_o place_n do_v look_v high_a than_o these_o aim_v at_o spiritual_a grace_n as_o well_o as_o corporal_a benefit_n and_o cure_n if_o the_o learned_a reader_n doubt_v of_o this_o let_v he_o read_v tremes_fw-la s_o esa_n 35.5.6_o and_o muscul_n and_o hyper._n s_o four_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o ascend_v or_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o body_n unto_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o place_n than_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o it_o be_v christ_n who_o do_v enlighten_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n who_o purge_v we_o from_o the_o leprosy_n of_o sin_n who_o free_v we_o from_o death_n etc._n etc._n gualt_n s_o two_o thing_n be_v very_o observable_a in_o this_o text_n namely_o i._n what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n deaf_a blind_a lame_a leprous_a and_o dead_a and_o ii_o that_o all_o these_o malady_n be_v remove_v and_o cure_v and_o that_o only_a by_o christ_n of_o these_o therefore_o in_o this_o order_n the_o blind_a receive_v their_o sight_n here_o two_o thing_n be_v considerable_a viz._n first_o that_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v blind_a second_o that_o by_o christ_n we_o be_v illuminate_v and_o enable_v to_o see_v observe_v 1_o first_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v ignorant_a blind_a and_o blockish_a in_o spiritual_a thing_n 1_o cor._n 2.14_o ephes_n 4.18_o quest_n 4_o what_o be_v require_v unto_o true_a spiritual_a sight_n answ_n 1_o first_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o question_n i_o refer_v my_o learned_a reader_n unto_o antoninus_n part_n 1_o titul_n 3._o cap._n 3._o §_o 1._o 2._o 3._o etc._n etc._n where_o many_o rare_a thing_n be_v teach_v concern_v spiritual_a fight_n answ_n 2_o second_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o vulgar_a reader_n we_o will_v add_v some_o thing_n and_o answer_v that_o unto_o spiritual_a fight_n many_o thing_n be_v require_v to_o wit_n first_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o eye_n for_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o eye_n be_v pervert_v either_o by_o melancholy_n or_o anger_n or_o the_o jaundice_n than_o all_o thing_n will_v seem_v yellow_a or_o green_a or_o the_o like_a thus_o mala_fw-la mens_fw-la malus_n animus_n if_o the_o mind_n be_v corrupt_v then_o the_o man_n be_v corrupt_v for_o mens_fw-la eujusque_fw-la est_fw-la cuique_fw-la the_o mind_n be_v the_o man_n if_o the_o eye_n therefore_o be_v dark_a how_o great_a be_v that_o darkness_n if_o the_o understanding_n be_v pervert_v so_o be_v also_o the_o judgement_n and_o affection_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_v for_o a_o pure_a and_o sanctify_a mind_n free_a from_o the_o infection_n and_o perturbation_n of_o sin_n second_o unto_o sight_n there_o be_v require_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o eye_n that_o it_o may_v perfect_o apprehend_v the_o object_n for_o a_o weak_a sight_n apprehend_v a_o thing_n imperfect_o like_o the_o man_n who_o say_v he_o see_v man_n walk_v like_o tree_n so_o when_o in_o religion_n we_o see_v in_o enigmate_fw-la only_a as_o in_o twilight_n or_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n that_o be_v see_v something_o but_o very_o dark_o and_o obscure_o we_o must_v then_o labour_v that_o our_o eye_n may_v be_v perfect_o open_v that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o perceive_v thing_n true_o and_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o particle_n three_o unto_o sight_n be_v require_v the_o liberty_n of_o common_a sense_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o thing_n that_o differ_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v like_o child_n in_o understanding_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v when_o i_o be_v a_o child_n i_o speak_v as_o a_o child_n i_o think_v as_o a_o child_n i_o understand_v as_o a_o child_n 1_o cor._n 13.10_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o religion_n or_o the_o service_n of_o god_n with_o a_o carnal_a eye_n or_o the_o eye_n of_o natural_a reason_n but_o with_o a_o eye_n true_o inform_v that_o hereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o thing_n true_o and_o aright_o a_o melancholy_a man_n often_o think_v man_n to_o be_v bear_n and_o a_o mad_a man_n friend_n to_o be_v enemy_n and_o hence_o oftentime_o fleee_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o physician_n that_o desire_v to_o cure_v he_o thus_o in_o religion_n we_o often_o think_v the_o lord_n hate_v we_o because_o he_o will_v not_o give_v we_o that_o which_o we_o desire_v although_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o ratsbane_n for_o we_o we_o can_v endure_v reproof_n from_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n neither_o that_o they_o shall_v speak_v unto_o we_o but_o desire_v rather_o that_o they_o will_v willing_o permit_v we_o to_o run_v headlong_o unto_o destruction_n and_o thus_o so_o long_o as_o common_a sense_n be_v captivate_v we_o can_v judge_v of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v wherefore_o let_v we_o labour_v that_o our_o understanding_n may_v be_v enlighten_v and_o our_o judgement_n true_o inform_v four_o unto_o fight_n there_o be_v require_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n or_o moon_n or_o of_o a_o candle_n for_o three_o thing_n be_v ordinary_o require_v unto_o sight_n to_o wit_n i._o the_o organ_n that_o see_v and_o take_v up_o the_o object_n ii_o the_o object_n that_o be_v apprehend_v by_o the_o organ_n and_o iii_o the_o midst_n by_o or_o through_o which_o the_o organ_n do_v perceive_v and_o receive_v the_o object_n although_o there_o be_v a_o object_n which_o may_v be_v see_v and_o the_o air_n also_o enlighten_v yet_o if_o a_o man_n want_v eye_n he_o can_v see_v that_o object_n therefore_o unto_o sight_n a_o organ_n be_v necessary_a if_o a_o man_n can_v see_v and_o the_o air_n be_v enlighten_v yet_o if_o the_o object_n be_v not_o in_o fight_n or_o if_o we_o can_v conceive_v no_o object_n to_o be_v object_v unto_o the_o eye_n than_o the_o eye_n can_v apprehend_v nothing_o therefore_o unto_o sight_n a_o object_n be_v necessary_a if_o there_o be_v a_o organ_n and_o a_o object_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n can_v see_v or_o have_v a_o eye_n yea_o that_o eye_n be_v open_a and_o awake_a yet_o can_v he_o not_o see_v if_o either_o there_o be_v no_o midst_n or_o if_o the_o midst_n be_v dark_a for_o first_o if_o
