in_o the_o application_n of_o all_o joint_o the_o observation_n be_v these_o first_o that_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o manifest_a make_v up_o of_o a_o marriage_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o soul_n the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v like_o a_o man_n make_v of_o a_o marriage_n for_o his_o son_n the_o second_o be_v that_o this_o marriage_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o excellent_a marriage_n that_o ever_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o marriage_n of_o the_o king_n son_n the_o three_o be_v that_o before_o this_o marriage_n can_v be_v bring_v about_o and_o

this_o marriage_n the_o five_o be_v that_o the_o master_n of_o the_o feast_n the_o king_n god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o king_n son_n the_o bridegroom_n be_v not_o only_o content_a and_o willing_a

when_o the_o master_n send_v out_o his_o servant_n in_o his_o name_n their_o great_a work_n be_v to_o invite_v to_o the_o wedding_n and_o to_o close_v the_o marriage_n the_o seven_o be_v that_o when_o people_n be_v invite_v to_o this_o marriage_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o great_o of_o their_o concern_n to_o come_v the_o eight_o be_v that_o all_o they_o that_o come_v may_v expect_v a_o very_a hearty_a welcome_n therefore_o they_o be_v invite_v once_o and_o again_o and_o if_o we_o compare_v this_o text_n with_o luke_n 14._o we_o will_v find_v there_o that_o the_o master_n order_v his_o servant_n to_o compel_v they_o that_o be_v invite_v to_o come_v in_o all_o these_o observation_n be_v very_o obvious_a in_o the_o word_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v gracious_o please_v to_o help_v we_o to_o speak_v and_o you_o to_o hear_v as_o they_o be_v no_o unpertinent_a to_o our_o present_a purpose_n so_o they_o may_v be_v make_v very_o edify_v strengthen_v refresh_v and_o comfortable_a to_o we_o we_o shall_v in_o the_o second_o place_n a_o little_a more_o particular_o clear_a and_o confirm_v every_o one_o of_o they_o the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o marriage_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o soul_n hold_v forth_o and_o make_v offer_n of_o in_o this_o gospel_n we_o take_v this_o for_o grant_v for_o here_o be_v the_o king_n son_n and_o some_o bid_v to_o his_o marriage_n and_o those_o that_o be_v bid_v be_v not_o worthy_a they_o be_v all_o professor_n &_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o offer_n of_o this_o marriage_n be_v first_o make_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o again_o renew_v to_o they_o and_o then_o from_o they_o it_o come_v to_o the_o gentile_n i_o shall_v in_o pass_v give_v you_o a_o little_a hint_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o marriage_n in_o these_o four_o 1._o there_o be_v by_o this_o gospel_n a_o real_a union_n make_v up_o betwixt_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n which_o union_n be_v not_o with_o the_o ordinance_n nor_o with_o sense_n nor_o with_o the_o benefit_n which_o flow_v from_o christ_n but_o with_o christ_n himself_o primary_o and_o principal_o and_o

real_a but_o make_v the_o one_o much_o straight_a than_o the_o other_o second_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o union_n be_v such_o that_o it_o be_v mutual_a the_o bridegroom_n have_v in_o a_o manne●_n to_o speak_v so_o with_o reverence_n of_o his_o majesty_n no_o power_n ove●_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v marry_v un●o_o the_o bride_n and_o the_o bride_n have_v no_o power_n over_o herself_o but_o
