the_o thing_n i_o be_o speak_v of_o namely_o the_o strike_v up_o of_o the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o eternity_n its_o clear_a the_o prophecy_n do_v run_v upon_o christ_n and_z in_o the_o two_o first_o verse_n as_o he_o conceive_v the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v bring_v in_o declare_v how_o that_o his_o father_n have_v call_v he_o and_o what_o work_n his_o father_n have_v put_v

shall_v divide_v the_o spoil_n with_o the_o strong_a this_o of_o all_o other_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n quest_n now_o the_o question_n may_v be_v what_o be_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o god_n divide_v to_o christ_n a_o portion_n with_o the_o great_a and_o the_o spoil_n with_o the_o strong_a answ_n why_o sure_o these_o word_n they_o can_v be_v mean_v only_o of_o christ_n spiritual_a triumph_n over_o his_o enemy_n and_o christ_n spiritual_a reward_n because_o these_o word_n they_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o the_o reward_n the_o father_n give_v he_o for_o his_o suffering_n because_o he_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n unto_o death_n and_o be_v number_v with_o the_o transgressor_n and_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o therefore_o will_v i_o divide_v he_o a_o portion_n with_o the_o great_a and_o he_o shall_v divide_v the_o spoil_n with_o the_o strong_a therefore_o it_o can_v be_v a_o spiritual_a reward_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o reward_n the_o father_n give_v to_o the_o son_n must_v be_v equivolent_a unto_o his_o suffering_n for_o the_o father_n will_v not_o give_v unto_o his_o son_n a_o reward_n that_o be_v short_a of_o his_o suffering_n this_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o straight_o hand_v when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v his_o work_n to_o give_v a_o reward_n short_a of_o his_o work_n therefore_o the_o reward_n must_v be_v as_o large_a as_o

therefore_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o stone_n must_v be_v cut_v out_o late_a second_o because_o daniel_n do_v not_o see_v the_o stone_n to_o smite_v until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v have_v a_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v saint_n may_v not_o god_n take_v a_o people_n out_o of_o the_o mountain_n and_o they_o not_o saint_n ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v it_o be_v clear_a they_o shall_v for_o the_o

that_o we_o have_v inthe_n 7_o chapter_n whence_o we_o may_v form_v this_o argument_n those_o very_a people_n that_o the_o little_a horn_n do_v war_n against_o and_o prevail_v against_o and_o do_v

that_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v we_o to_o have_v such_o end_n in_o our_o action_n as_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o sincere_a that_o we_o may_v have_v comfort_n joy_n and_o peace_n 10_o reas_n 10_o we_o
