these_o forty_o year_n be_v a_o holy_a mystical_a number_n viz._n the_o number_n of_o regeneration_n during_o which_o time_n the_o lord_n work_v many_o marvel_n and_o deliver_v the_o true_a israelite_n from_o inward_a and_o outward_a enemy_n yet_o still_o they_o provoke_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n to_o wrath_n by_o lust_a after_o the_o fleshpot_n of_o egypt_n that_o be_v the_o

in_o those_o forty_o year_n travel_n for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o stay_v or_o continue_v in_o the_o wild_a bestial_a nature_n but_o to_o pass_v through_o and_o by_o degree_n leave_v it_o behind_o they_o and_o to_o deny_v themselves_o all_o those_o oppression_n vanity_n worldly_a lust_n and_o passion_n which_o the_o man_n of_o egypt_n be_v subject_a unto_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v cleanse_v purify_a and_o fit_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a land_n for_o the_o chief_a enemy_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n meet_v with_o be_v their_o inward_a lust_n passion_n and_o bestial_a spirit_n which_o do_v mighty_o strive_v in_o they_o to_o get_v the_o victory_n over_o the_o divine_a principle_n of_o god_n love_n and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a cause_n of_o their_o many_o let_n stop_v and_o hindrance_n and_o the_o occasion_n that_o so_o many_o thousand_o do_v fall_v in_o the_o way_n and_o never_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a land_n of_o which_o the_o lord_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v a_o land_n that_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n not_o with_o oppression_n cruelty_n kill_v and_o blood_n but_o with_o milk_n and_o honey_n the_o emblem_n of_o innocency_n and_o

egyptian_a vanity_n they_o do_v fall_v and_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o peace_n as_o in_o like_a case_n the_o scripture_n say_v of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o violence_n and_o blood_n as_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o war_n and_o fight_a therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o admit_v he_o to_o build_v the_o temple_n which_o outward_a temple_n be_v a_o true_a figure_n of_o the_o inward_a divine_a temple_n for_o david_n have_v awaken_v the_o wrathful_a power_n of_o nature_n within_o and_o without_o himself_o and_o consequent_o be_v not_o so_o fit_a for_o temple-work_n wherein_o there_o must_v not_o be_v hear_v any_o noise_n of_o axe_n or_o hammer_n much_o less_o the_o clash_n of_o sword_n and_o rattle_v of_o spear_n these_o be_v the_o music_n of_o babel_n builder_n but_o perhaps_o some_o will_v say_v though_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v eat_v any_o flesh_n in_o their_o travel_n towards_o the_o holy_a land_n yet_o long_o before_o that_o the_o two_o angel_n that_o be_v go_v towards_o sodom_n to_o destroy_v it_o do_v eat_v flesh_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o objection_n that_o

incorporeal_a therefore_o flesh_n must_v needs_o be_v too_o crude_a and_o gross_a a_o food_n for_o such_o intellectual_a essence_n void_a of_o matter_n and_o therefore_o some_o more_o hide_a meaning_n and_o signification_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o indeed_o there_o lie_v couch_v a_o very_a great_a mystery_n in_o this_o passage_n the_o sodomite_n have_v by_o their_o cry_a sin_n awaken_v the_o fierce_a wrathful_a principle_n in_o nature_n even_o in_o the_o outward_a element_n which_o do_v kindle_v the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o draw_v down_o the_o judgement_n now_o out_o of_o this_o strong_a power_n of_o the_o kindle_a wrath_n these_o two_o angel_n do_v proceed_v which_o have_v in_o they_o the_o power_n of_o the_o same_o principle_n viz._n the_o inward_a and_o outward_a wrath_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o abraham_n shall_v kill_v and_o shed_v blood_n at_o their_o approach_n who_o travel_v towards_o sodom_n and_o stay_v here_o by_o the_o way_n do_v denote_v the_o gradual_a kindle_v of_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o their_o eat_a flesh_n under_o a_o tree_n or_o oak_n do_v signify_v the_o harsh_a wild_a nature_n for_o they_o enter_v
