blessed_v by_o who_o by_o the_o priest_n the_o priest_n the_o levite_n blessed_v the_o people_n not_o any_o of_o the_o laity_n not_o any_o of_o the_o prince_n not_o king_n hezekiah_n though_o

22._o the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n be_v call_v of_o god_n to_o this_o office_n and_o appoint_v to_o the_o constant_a execution_n thereof_o and_o a_o prescript_n form_n be_v give_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o purpose_n speak_v unto_o aaron_n say_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o his_o son_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a you_o shall_v bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o etc._n etc._n where_o first_o there_o be_v a_o general_a benediction_n in_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o people_n and_o then_o five_o great_a blessing_n be_v specify_v protection_n first_o of_o custody_n and_o protection_n in_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n keep_v thou_o tend_v to_o this_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v ever_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o israel_n and_o preserve_v his_o church_n and_o people_n from_o all_o evil_a love_n the_o second_o blessing_n mention_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n in_o the_o next_o word_n the_o lord_n make_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o thou_o allude_v to_o the_o sun_n which_o when_o it_o shine_v be_v sensible_a unto_o us._n sin_n the_o three_o blessing_n be_v mercy_n to_o their_o sin_n in_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a or_o gracious_a unto_o thou_o tend_v to_o this_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v in_o mercy_n pass_v by_o their_o offence_n and_o see_v no_o iniquity_n in_o jacob_n nor_o transgression_n in_o israel_n love_n the_o four_o blessing_n be_v a_o plentiful_a manifestation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o his_o countenance_n upon_o thou_o peace_n the_o last_o but_o not_o the_o least_o be_v peace_n the_o consequent_a of_o the_o rest_n and_o the_o very_a compliment_n of_o all_o and_o give_v thou_o peace_n mean_v not_o only_o external_a prosperity_n but_o also_o that_o happy_a peace_n with_o god_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n which_o the_o world_n can_v give_v loe_o thus_o do_v the_o lord_n appoint_v his_o priest_n to_o bless_v his_o people_n and_o to_o that_o which_o they_o shall_v do_v according_a to_o his_o holy_a ordinance_n he_o annex_v a_o most_o gracious_a promise_n say_v further_o ego_fw-la

to_o those_o which_o be_v partaker_n thereof_o other_o in_o this_o place_n of_o number_n we_o may_v observe_v three_o material_a difference_n between_o the_o priest_n blessing_n and_o all_o other_o

other_o the_o priest_n the_o public_a minister_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o special_a charge_n a_o special_a form_n and_o a_o special_a promise_n first_o a_o special_a charge_n to_o do_v it_o second_o a_o special_a form_n how_o to_o do_v it_o three_o a_o special_a promise_n if_o they_o do_v it_o they_o shall_v not_o bless_v in_o vain_a but_o the_o lord_n who_o name_n they_o thrice_o

to_o their_o prayer_n and_o to_o bless_v they_o actual_o and_o real_o now_o this_o part_n of_o the_o priest_n office_n be_v not_o ceremonial_a but_o moral_a and_o of_o perpetual_a use_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v put_v in_o practice_n both_o before_o the_o law_n and_o since_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o like_a have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o chief_a minister_n of_o

you_o again_o you_o shall_v be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o but_o it_o shall_v take_v no_o effect_n for_o their_o good_a whereby_o we_o see_v that_o as_o it_o pertain_v to_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n to_o bless_v the_o people_n so_o it_o likewise_o belong_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o the_o priestly_a benediction_n of_o old_a be_v not_o mere_o verbal_a but_o
