last_o creation_n be_v a_o instantaneous_a act_n a_o sudden_a passage_n from_o not_o be_v to_o be_v without_o any_o successive_a motion_n or_o previous_a alteration_n it_o be_v true_a the_o world_n be_v not_o finish_v in_o less_o than_o six_o day_n but_o the_o act_n of_o creation_n upon_o every_o one_o of_o those_o day_n be_v in_o a_o instant_n and_o though_o in_o this_o the_o parallel_n be_v not_o full_a yet_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o jew_n return_v out_o of_o babylon_n be_v sudden_a and_o speedy_a to_o this_o tend_v those_o expression_n in_o this_o prophet_n who_o be_v those_o that_o flee_v as_o the_o cloud_n 8._o and_o as_o the_o dove_n to_o the_o window_n and_o again_o who_o hear_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o 7._o who_o have_v see_v such_o thing_n shall_v the_o earth_n be_v make_v to_o bring_v forth_o in_o one_o day_n or_o shall_v a_o nation_n be_v bear_v at_o once_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o zion_n travel_v she_o bring_v forth_o her_o child_n thus_o though_o god_n be_v long_o before_o he_o begin_v yet_o ofttimes_o he_o quick_o make_v a_o end_n though_o therefore_o the_o vastness_n of_o our_o confusion_n strength_n of_o our_o adversary_n length_n of_o our_o suffering_n weakness_n of_o mean_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o unworthiness_n may_v discourage_v we_o yet_o when_o we_o remember_v that_o god_n can_v and_o do_v create_v deliverance_n let_v we_o be_v encourage_v especial_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v begin_v to_o do_v to_o a_o humble_a confident_a and_o patient_a wait_n for_o the_o completion_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o 4._o because_o of_o the_o facility_n of_o the_o accomplishment_n in_o those_o word_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n which_o be_v the_o last_o particular_a and_o come_v now_o to_o be_v handle_v to_o the_o right_a understanding_n whereof_o the_o question_n will_v be_v make_v and_o resolve_v who_o lip_n be_v here_o mean_v and_o according_a to_o a_o various_a reference_n there_o be_v several_a interpretation_n more_o particular_o it_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o either_o as_o the_o fruit_n of_o god_n or_o man_n of_o his_o or_o our_o lip_n and_o each_o in_o a_o double_a notion_n if_o we_o refer_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n to_o god_n we_o may_v understand_v a_o double_a word_n to_o wit_n imperii_fw-la and_o promissi_fw-la the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v his_o word_n of_o command_n and_o that_o let_v we_o see_v how_o god_n will_v create_v peace_n or_o else_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o promise_n and_o that_o let_v we_o see_v why_o he_o wait_v to_o create_v it_o 1._o i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v god_n will_v by_o a_o word_n of_o command_n accomplish_v peace_n and_o this_o sense_n very_o fit_o agree_v both_o with_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o phrase_n as_o to_o the_o restoration_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v effect_v by_o a_o word_n god_n do_v but_o speak_v to_o cyrus_n and_o he_o make_v a_o decree_n for_o their_o return_n so_o it_o run_v in_o this_o prophecy_n 1._o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n to_o his_o anoint_a to_o cyrus_n and_o as_o to_o the_o phrase_n of_o create_v it_o be_v most_o suitable_a 5._o since_o creation_n be_v by_o a_o word_n he_o command_v and_o they_o be_v create_v say_v the_o psalmist_n of_o the_o heaven_n jussit_fw-la et_fw-la extendit_fw-la campos_fw-la say_v the_o poet_n of_o the_o earth_n ovid_n it_o be_v but_o a_o ephphata_fw-la and_o the_o deaf_a ear_n be_v open_v a_o tace_fw-la and_o the_o rage_a sea_n be_v still_o an_fw-la obmutesce_fw-la and_o the_o devil_n be_v silence_v but_o a_o fiat_fw-la and_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v make_v it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o of_o the_o devil_n to_o our_o saviour_n 5._o if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n command_n or_o as_o the_o greek_a word_n signify_v speak_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v make_v bread_n intimate_v that_o if_o he_o can_v turn_v the_o stone_n into_o bread_n by_o a_o word_n he_o will_v conclude_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v indeed_o peculiar_a to_o a_o deity_n that_o his_o word_n be_v the_o work_n and_o his_o most_o glorious_a operation_n be_v but_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o lip_n 2._o i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v it_o have_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o lip_n in_o promise_v and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o
