temple_n and_o therewith_o a_o period_n to_o be_v put_v to_o all_o their_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n they_o grow_v impatient_a and_o can_v hold_v no_o long_o but_o seek_v to_o kill_v he_o and_o thereby_o think_v that_o they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n and_o moses_n too_o so_o wonderful_o it_o seem_v be_v these_o man_n concern_v for_o god_n honour_n that_o they_o have_v no_o way_n to_o show_v it_o but_o by_o reject_v his_o son_n out_o of_o deference_n to_o his_o servant_n we_o have_v see_v here_o the_o two_o great_a exception_n which_o so_o block_v up_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n against_o jesus_n christ_n their_o true_a messiah_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o own_o his_o own_o reject_a and_o throw_v he_o off_o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n 2._o to_o show_v the_o weakness_n and_o unreasonableness_n of_o these_o exception_n and_o first_o for_o christ_n be_v a_o temporal_a monarch_n who_o shall_v subdue_v and_o bring_v all_o nation_n under_o the_o jewish_a sceptre_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o necessary_a that_o it_o be_v absolute_o impossbile_a that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v be_v such_o a_o one_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o a_o double_a supposition_n neither_o of_o which_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v deny_v by_o the_o jew_n themselves_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v the_o profess_a design_n of_o his_o come_v which_o be_v to_o be_v a_o blessing_n to_o all_o nation_n for_o it_o be_v over_o and_o over_o declare_v in_o scripture_n that_o in_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v in_o the_o messiah_n all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v but_o now_o if_o they_o mean_v this_o of_o a_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o intend_v no_o other_o than_o i_o demand_v how_o this_o can_v agree_v with_o his_o be_v such_o a_o prince_n as_o according_a to_o their_o description_n must_v conquer_v all_o people_n and_o enslave_v they_o to_o the_o jew_n as_o hewer_n of_o wood_n and_o drawer_n of_o water_n as_o their_o vassal_n and_o tributary_n and_o in_o a_o word_n liable_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o be_v insult_v over_o by_o the_o worst_a condition_a people_n in_o the_o world_n a_o worthy_a blessing_n indeed_o and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o believe_v few_o nation_n will_v desire_v to_o be_v behold_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o for_o there_o be_v no_o nation_n or_o people_n that_o can_v need_v the_o come_n of_o a_o messiah_n to_o bless_v they_o in_o this_o manner_n since_o they_o may_v bless_v themselves_o so_o whensoever_o they_o please_v if_o they_o will_v but_o send_v messenger_n to_o some_o of_o their_o neighbour_n wise_a and_o powerfull_a than_o themselves_o and_o declare_v their_o estate_n and_o country_n at_o their_o service_n provide_v they_o will_v but_o come_v and_o make_v they_o slave_n without_o call_v they_o so_o by_o send_v army_n to_o take_v possession_n of_o their_o fort_n and_o garrison_n to_o seize_v their_o land_n money_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o they_o have_v and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o oppress_v beggar_n and_o squeeze_v they_o as_o dry_a as_o a_o pumice_n and_o then_o trample_v upon_o they_o because_o they_o can_v get_v no_o more_o out_o of_o they_o let_v any_o people_n i_o say_v as_o they_o shall_v like_v this_o apply_v to_o some_o potent_a overgrow_a prince_n who_o the_o fool_n his_o neighbour_n shall_v have_v make_v so_o and_o i_o dare_v undertake_v that_o upon_o a_o word_n speak_v they_o shall_v find_v he_o ready_a to_o be_v such_o a_o messiah_n to_o they_o at_o any_o time_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v all_o that_o the_o gentile_a world_n can_v gain_v by_o those_o magnificent_a promise_n of_o the_o messiah_n as_o universal_a a_o blessing_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v foretell_v he_o shall_v be_v if_o the_o jew_n opinion_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o kingdom_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v take_v place_n but_o since_o they_o judge_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o government_n so_o great_a a_o blessing_n to_o mankind_n it_o be_v pity_n but_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o large_a and_o last_a enjoyment_n of_o it_o themselves_o and_o be_v make_v to_o feel_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v peel_v and_o poll_v fleece_v and_o flay_v tax_v and_o tread_v upon_o by_o the_o several_a government_n they_o shall_v happen_v to_o fall_v under_o and_o so_o find_v the_o same_o usage_n from_o other_o prince_n which_o they_o have_v so_o liberal_o design_v for_o they_o under_o their_o suppose_a messiah_n as_o indeed_o through_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n they_o have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n find_v ever_o since_o the_o crucifixion_n of_o christ._n second_o the_o other_o supposition_n upon_o which_o i_o disprove_v the_o messiah_n be_v such_o a_o temporal_a prince_n be_v the_o unquestionable_a truth_n of_o all_o the_o prophecy_n record_v of_o he_o in_o scripture_n many_o of_o which_o declare_v only_o his_o suffering_n his_o humility_n his_o low_a despise_a estate_n and_o so_o be_v utter_o incompatible_a with_o such_o a_o princely_a condition_n those_o two_o the_o first_o psal._n 22._o the_o other_o in_o isai._n 53._o be_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v indeed_o that_o several_a have_v attempt_v to_o make_v they_o have_v no_o respect_n at_o all_o to_o the_o messiah_n but_o still_o the_o truth_n have_v be_v superior_a to_o all_o such_o attempt_n the_o jewish_a rabbi_n for_o the_o most_o part_n understand_v they_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o 53.8_o one_o we_o know_v among_o our_o christian_a interpreter_n though_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o christen_v his_o interpretation_n who_o will_v needs_o have_v this_o whole_a 53_o d._n chap._n of_o isai._n to_o relate_v only_o to_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n in_o the_o first_o and_o historical_a sense_n of_o it_o little_a certain_o to_o the_o service_n of_o christianity_n unless_o we_o can_v think_v the_o proper_a way_n for_o confirm_v our_o faith_n especial_o against_o its_o mortal_a adversary_n the_o jew_n be_v to_o strip_v it_o of_o the_o chief_a support_n which_o the_o old_a testament_n afford_v it_o but_o every_o little_a fetch_n of_o wit_n and_o criticism_n must_v not_o think_v to_o bear_v down_o the_o whole_a stream_n of_o christian_a catholic_n interpreter_n and_o much_o less_o the_o apparent_a force_n and_o evidence_n of_o so_o clear_a a_o prophecy_n and_o therefore_o to_o return_v to_o the_o rabbi_n themselves_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o they_o after_o all_o such_o fruitless_a attempt_n understand_v those_o prophecy_n only_o of_o the_o messiah_n but_o then_o be_v fond_a of_o his_o temporal_a reign_n and_o greatness_n some_o of_o they_o have_v invent_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o two_o several_a messiah_n messiah_n ben_n david_n and_o messiah_n ben_n joseph_n one_o whereof_o be_v to_o be_v potent_a and_o victorious_a the_o other_o low_a afflict_a and_o at_o length_n kill_v a_o bold_a unheard-of_a fiction_n and_o never_o know_v to_o the_o ancient_a jewish_a church_n till_o the_o modern_a rabbi_n begin_v to_o dote_v and_o blaspheme_n at_o all_o adventure_n but_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n so_o senseless_a and_o groundless_a which_o a_o obstinate_a adherence_n to_o a_o desperate_a cause_n will_v not_o drive_v the_o defender_n of_o it_o to_o it_o be_v clear_a therefore_o that_o all_o the_o pretence_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o the_o temporal_a reign_n and_o greatness_n of_o their_o messiah_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v and_o cut_v off_o by_o these_o two_o consideration_n for_o to_o argue_v with_o they_o further_o from_o the_o spirituality_n of_o the_o messiah_n kingdom_n as_o that_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o abstract_n from_o all_o carnal_a earthly_a sensual_a enjoyment_n as_o the_o certain_a hinderer_n of_o piety_n and_o underminer_n of_o the_o spirit_n will_v be_v but_o a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n as_o to_o the_o jew_n who_o will_v contend_v as_o positive_o that_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o it_o and_o beside_o the_o truth_n be_v their_o principle_n and_o temper_n be_v so_o huge_o estrange_v from_o such_o consideration_n that_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o read_v a_o lecture_n of_o music_n or_o astronomy_n to_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n as_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v they_o that_o their_o messiah_n be_v only_o to_o plant_v his_o kingdom_n in_o man_n heart_n and_o by_o infuse_v into_o they_o the_o grace_n of_o humility_n temperance_n and_o heavenly_a mindedness_n to_o conquer_v their_o corruption_n and_o reign_v over_o their_o carnal_a affection_n which_o they_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n rather_o shall_v reign_v over_o they_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o answer_v to_o their_o first_o exception_n second_o i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o the_o other_o ground_v upon_o a_o pretence_n
