such_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v 2._o sacrament_n be_v engage_v sign_n with_o restipulation_n these_o be_v absolute_a nothing_o at_o all_o be_v call_v for_o from_o man_n much_o less_o from_o other_o

be_v only_o to_o be_v see_v as_o it_o be_v set_v of_o god_n in_o the_o cloud_n but_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v upon_o tender_a from_o god_n and_o not_o only_o behold_v 5._o sacrament_n be_v seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n appoint_v for_o ratification_n of_o spiritual_a and_o save_a mercy_n but_o this_o be_v only_o a_o ratification_n of_o a_o temporal_a deliverance_n as_o to_o this_o last_o dissimilitude_n perhaps_o some_o exception_n may_v be_v take_v as_o the_o rainbow_n be_v immediate_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o a_o temporal_a mercy_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o passeover_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o freedom_n of_o israel_n in_o egypt_n when_o the_o first_o bear_v be_v destroy_v seem_v to_o have_v no_o more_o spirituality_n in_o it_o than_o our_o security_n from_o a_o deluge_n and_o in_o case_n we_o make_v that_o of_o egypt_n a_o type_n of_o a_o further_a deliverance_n in_o christ_n so_o we_o may_v make_v this_o deliverance_n a_o figure_n of_o like_a mercy_n and_o so_o zanchy_a indeed_o make_v it_o and_o the_o last_o annotation_n hint_n such_o a_o thing_n though_o this_o rainbow_n say_v they_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o temporal_a covenant_n in_o the_o general_a extent_n of_o it_o to_o all_o creature_n yet_o the_o godly_a may_v look_v upon_o it_o with_o reference_n to_o christ_n in_o who_o all_o promise_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o and_o who_o be_v represent_v sit_v in_o his_o throne_n compass_v with_o a_o rainbow_n in_o light_n like_o unto_o a_o emerald_n rev._n 4.3_o and_o in_o case_n this_o sign_n have_v be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n as_o be_v that_o deliverance_n in_o egypt_n and_o give_v of_o god_n only_o to_o his_o people_n in_o covenant_n and_o in_o new_a testament-scripture_n so_o apply_v as_o that_o of_o the_o passeover_n be_v it_o have_v be_v unquestionable_a but_o be_v common_a to_o the_o world_n all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n have_v like_o interest_n in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o touch_n of_o it_o in_o new_a testament-scripture_n it_o can_v be_v so_o conceive_v only_o we_o may_v safe_o yield_v thus_o much_o that_o as_o the_o godly_a may_v see_v a_o sonlike_a title_n to_o every_o common_a mercy_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o bare_o as_o they_o be_v to_o other_o a_o commmon_a providence_n and_o largess_n so_o they_o may_v see_v the_o rainbow_n shadow_v out_o a_o like_a
