compel_a man_n to_o come_v in_o which_o he_o will_v have_v to_o signify_v their_o duty_n which_o be_v a_o wild_a fancy_n rather_o as_o i_o apprehend_v the_o scope_n of_o this_o parable_n may_v be_v either_o first_o by_o send_v three_o several_a time_n to_o signify_v the_o three_o several_a dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o as_o a_o breakfast_n gen._n 3._o second_o under_o the_o law_n as_o a_o dinner_n three_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o supper_n for_o that_o which_o be_v a_o supper_n in_o luke_n be_v a_o dinner_n in_o matthew_n second_o in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o supper_n it_o show_v we_o have_v now_o the_o full_a and_o last_o dispensation_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o supper_n be_v the_o last_o meal_n of_o a_o day_n three_o it_o may_v note_v god_n send_v first_o to_o the_o jew_n who_o for_o the_o generality_n refuse_v then_o to_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v far_o off_o the_o compel_a may_v signify_v the_o spirit_n convince_a or_o god_n draw_v of_o soul_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v say_v the_o apostle_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v convince_v when_o it_o begin_v conversion_n and_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n draw_v when_o it_o seize_v upon_o a_o wound_a and_o bleed_a heart_n for_o sin_n so_o that_o all_o these_o flourish_n from_o this_o parable_n restrain_v it_o to_o the_o sacrament_n seem_v much_o beside_o the_o

last_o the_o man_n will_v have_v a_o free_a table_n and_o a_o free_a pulpit_n to_o be_v one_o i_o mean_v the_o same_o liberty_n and_o latitude_n in_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n as_o in_o hear_v

john_n do_v baptize_v none_o but_o such_o as_o come_v in_o a_o capacity_n for_o it_o and_o he_o require_v confession_n of_o sin_n yea_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n too_o give_v we_o these_o and_o we_o
