chald●ea_n have_v the_o state_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o it_o be_v then_o in_o fact_n set_v before_o he_o whither_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n and_o as_o evident_o see_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v at_o that_o time_n transact_v in_o the_o temple_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v actual_o there_o and_o even_o the_o secret_a practice_n of_o the_o elder_n and_o priest_n in_o the_o most_o retire_a corner_n be_v at_o that_o distance_n exact_o represent_v to_o he_o so_o that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v personal_o with_o they_o they_o have_v not_o be_v more_o visible_a to_o he_o there_o he_o behold_v the_o idol_n portray_v on_o the_o wall_n and_o the_o seventy_o man_n or_o sanhedrim_n and_o jaazaniah_n their_o head_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o with_o every_o man_n his_o censer_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o all_o the_o particular_n as_o there_o describe_v 3._o in_o vision_n thing_n future_a be_v as_o evident_o represent_v as_o if_o they_o be_v present_a thus_o saul_n when_o deprive_v of_o his_o sight_n see_v in_o a_o vision_n ananias_n come_v in_o and_o by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n restore_v he_o to_o it_o and_o by_o which_o mean_n 9.12_o as_o describe_v to_o he_o beforehand_o he_o as_o perfect_o know_v ananias_n when_o he_o come_v to_o see_v as_o if_o he_o have_v afore_o time_n be_v conversant_a with_o he_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v 1._o that_o vision_n be_v supernatural_a so_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n ezekiel_n say_v 1.10_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o in_o the_o new_a st._n john_n say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v internal_a when_o the_o soul_n though_o in_o the_o body_n yet_o for_o the_o present_a be_v as_o out_o of_o it_o as_o to_o corporeal_a sensation_n and_o see_v perceive_v and_o understand_v nothing_o by_o the_o external_a organ_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o st._n paul_n in_o his_o wonderful_a rapture_n when_o his_o soul_n be_v in_o such_o a_o abstract_a and_o elevate_a state_n that_o he_o himself_o can_v not_o tell_v 12.1_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o body_n or_o out_o of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o when_o the_o name_n of_o vision_n be_v give_v in_o scripture_n to_o this_o way_n of_o divine_a communication_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o use_n make_v of_o corporeal_a sight_n or_o that_o it_o be_v entertain_v with_o any_o external_a object_n but_o because_o of_o the_o clearness_n and_o evidence_n of_o it_o and_o a_o conformity_n it_o therein_o bear_v to_o outward_a and_o corporeal_a sense_n by_o which_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o external_a representation_n which_o be_v also_o very_o frequent_a in_o those_o time_n of_o revelation_n of_o which_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n more_o especial_o viz._n 1._o that_o which_o the_o jew_n call_v the_o shechinah_n which_o be_v god_n manifestation_n of_o himself_o in_o a_o visible_a glory_n and_o majesty_n without_o any_o form_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v the_o token_n of_o his_o special_a residence_n among_o his_o people_n the_o jew_n 80.1_o call_v therefore_o his_o dwell_n between_o the_o cherubin_n 2._o another_o way_n of_o appearance_n be_v by_o angel_n when_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o a_o humane_a form_n by_o way_n of_o condescension_n to_o mankind_n and_o for_o a_o free_a conversation_n with_o they_o and_o from_o which_o form_n and_o umbrage_n the_o scripture_n term_v they_o man_n 13.2_o but_o beside_o what_o the_o sequel_n of_o scripture_n and_o common_a sense_n show_v the_o apostle_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v divine_a messenger_n send_v immediate_o from_o god_n upon_o especial_a occasion_n and_o emergency_n etc._n but_o the_o schechinah_n call_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o divine_a presence_n and_o not_o a_o revelation_n and_o the_o angel_n be_v only_a messenger_n of_o a_o revelation_n and_o so_o neither_o of_o they_o belong_v proper_o to_o this_o place_n 3._o another_o way_n of_o revelation_n be_v by_o dream_n there_o be_v so_o far_o a_o agreement_n between_o vision_n and_o dream_n that_o in_o both_o the_o external_a sense_n be_v bind_v up_o so_o that_o a_o vision_n may_v be_v call_v a_o supernatural_a dream_n and_o a_o dream_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o natural_a vision_n and_o so_o in_o job_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v take_v for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o 15.4.13_o god_n speak_v in_o a_o dream_n in_o a_o vision_n of_o the_o night_n when_o deep_a sleep_n fall_v upon_o man_n in_o slumbring_n upon_o the_o bed_n but_o the_o scripture_n otherwise_o usual_o speak_v of_o they_o as_o two_o distinct_a way_n of_o revelation_n so_o num._n 12.6_o if_o there_o be_v a_o prophet_n among_o you_o i_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v myself_o know_v to_o he_o in_o a_o vision_n and_o will_v speak_v unto_o he_o in_o a_o dream_n so_o joel_n 2.28_o and_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v 1._o that_o vision_n proper_o speak_v be_v general_o if_o not_o always_o when_o the_o visionary_n be_v awake_a whether_o by_o night_n or_o day_n but_o dream_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n show_v be_v when_o the_o external_a sense_n be_v asleep_a and_o reason_n as_o to_o its_o present_a operation_n be_v bind_v up_o with_o they_o 2._o in_o a_o vision_n the_o whole_a be_v supernatural_a without_o any_o humane_a predisposition_n or_o concurrence_n as_o the_o scripture-phrase_n do_v show_v 〈◊〉_d as_o st._n john_n be_v say_v to_o be_v carry_v in_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o a_o trance_n be_v say_v to_o fall_v upon_o st._n peter_n but_o to_o dream_v be_v a_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o disposition_n of_o body_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o a_o angel_n the_o usual_a minister_n employ_v in_o such_o conveyance_n make_v use_v of_o both_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v then_o in_o a_o state_n of_o repose_n and_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n relax_v from_o the_o business_n of_o the_o day_n and_o also_o as_o what_o be_v suggest_v in_o that_o way_n make_v a_o strong_a impression_n upon_o the_o mind_n when_o not_o divert_v by_o outward_a object_n and_o occasion_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o cessation_n from_o all_o external_a and_o sensible_a operation_n for_o it_o seem_v necessary_a natural_o speak_v that_o in_o all_o revelation_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o sedate_n disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o a_o abstraction_n from_o all_o other_o conception_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v either_o sound_n so_o as_o in_o dream_n or_o make_v so_o by_o some_o angelical_a and_o divine_a operation_n as_o in_o a_o vision_n or_o trance_n in_o both_o the_o sense_n be_v therefore_o bind_v up_o but_o in_o a_o vision_n by_o a_o supernatural_a agency_n in_o sleep_n or_o dream_n by_o the_o mere_a effect_n of_o nature_n and_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v how_o then_o be_v there_o a_o revelation_n by_o dream_n when_o revelation_n be_v supernatural_a and_o a_o dream_n natural_a i_o answer_v though_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a to_o dream_v as_o to_o sleep_v and_o a_o dream_n be_v a_o consequent_a if_o not_o a_o constant_a concomitant_a of_o sleep_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n which_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o revelation_n or_o dream_n be_v supernatural_a as_o to_o think_v or_o speak_v be_v natural_a to_o man_n but_o so_o to_o think_v or_o speak_v as_o be_v above_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o agent_n and_o what_o he_o of_o himself_o can_v never_o have_v think_v or_o speak_v show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o agent_n as_o a_o recipient_a and_o the_o instrument_n make_v use_v of_o in_o the_o conveyance_n thus_o it_o be_v no_o more_o natural_a for_o balaam_n several_a age_n before_o to_o foretell_v what_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v do_v to_o the_o moabite_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n 24.14_o than_o it_o be_v for_o his_o ass_n to_o speak_v so_o to_o dream_n be_v natural_a but_o to_o dream_v of_o such_o thing_n then_o in_o do_v or_o of_o such_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o be_v altogether_o independent_a on_o the_o body_n nor_o by_o any_o method_n of_o nature_n or_o presumptive_a art_n to_o be_v know_v or_o foresee_v be_v supernatural_a thus_o to_o dream_n be_v natural_a to_o pharaoh_n as_o to_o other_o and_o his_o dream_n of_o the_o seven_o fat_a and_o lean_a cow_n may_v have_v pass_v for_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o nocturnal_a imagination_n but_o by_o a_o dream_n to_o be_v make_v understand_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v successive_o seven_o year_n of_o great_a plenty_n and_o then_o seven_o year_n of_o famine_n ●_o can_v proceed_v only_o from_o a_o divine_a revelation_n and_o this_o will_v further_o appear_v in_o the_o process_n of_o this_o discourse_n when_o i_o be_o to_o consider_v the_o difference_n
