more_o literal_o to_o be_v understand_v than_o that_o herod_n be_v a_o fox_n and_o the_o pharisee_n viper_n because_o they_o be_v so_o call_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o as_o our_o saviour_n auditor_n as_o soon_o understand_v he_o when_o he_o speak_v after_o this_o figurative_a as_o if_o in_o the_o plain_a and_o literal_a phrase_n of_o it_o so_o one_o will_v think_v they_o shall_v and_o we_o may_v be_v as_o certain_a they_o do_v understand_v our_o saviour_n when_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n not_o of_o a_o proper_a human_a body_n but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o representation_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o those_o place_n to_o which_o this_o have_v a_o immediate_a reference_n 3._o by_o this_o way_n of_o comparison_n we_o come_v to_o understand_v the_o typical_a phrase_n of_o scripture_n which_o of_o itself_o be_v like_o the_o type_n obscure_a there_o be_v a_o great_a conformity_n between_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o new_a and_o especial_o as_o to_o what_o be_v the_o main_a subject_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n 11._o the_o type_n ceremony_n and_o rite_n of_o it_o and_o where_o there_o be_v this_o correspondence_n and_o conformity_n we_o must_v for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o one_o borrow_v light_n from_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o like_a form_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o be_v in_o the_o old_a it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o we_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o old_a or_o that_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o that_o for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o new_a of_o this_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n be_v a_o instance_n the_o phraseology_n of_o which_o be_v most_o legal_a and_o ritual_a and_o so_o we_o must_v be_v acquaint_v with_o those_o rite_n or_o the_o modes_n of_o speak_v to_o understand_v it_o i_o shall_v here_o content_v myself_o with_o a_o particular_a or_o two_o of_o this_o sort_n 8._o it_o be_v a_o know_a case_n and_o very_o usual_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o levitical_a or_o prophetical_a part_n of_o it_o to_o call_v a_o sin-offering_a by_o the_o name_n sin_n 〈◊〉_d or_o in_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o septuagint_n for_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v a_o elliptical_a way_n of_o expression_n very_o customary_a in_o those_o and_o other_o language_n but_o what_o be_v customary_a and_o significant_a in_o one_o yet_o if_o translate_v into_o another_o ofttimes_o look_v absurd_o and_o so_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o such_o a_o translation_n to_o supply_v it_o by_o what_o be_v before_o understand_v but_o not_o express_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n abovesaid_a thus_o for_o instance_n hebr._n 9_o 28._o it_o be_v say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o unto_o they_o that_o look_v for_o he_o shall_v he_o appear_v the_o second_o time_n without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n but_o thus_o he_o appear_v the_o first_o time_n he_o be_v then_o without_o sin_n and_o therefore_o here_o according_a to_o the_o subject_a the_o apostle_n be_v discourse_v upon_o it_o be_v to_o be_v supply_v after_o this_o manner_n without_o a_o sin-offering_a so_o it_o be_v hebr._n 10._o 8._o and_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 21._o so_o we_o have_v it_o according_a to_o the_o latter_a phrase_n of_o the_o septuagint_n rom._n 8._o 3._o god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o for_o sin_n condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n 〈◊〉_d for_o sin_n be_v a_o phrase_n rough_a and_o abrupt_a but_o if_o we_o add_v to_o it_o by_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a and_o intelligible_a now_o when_o there_o be_v this_o mystical_a relation_n and_o the_o gospel_n have_v a_o respect_n in_o its_o phrase_n and_o manner_n of_o speak_v to_o the_o type_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n the_o antitype_n be_v to_o be_v explain_v by_o the_o type_n the_o new_a by_o the_o old_a 4._o by_o this_o way_n of_o comparison_n we_o become_v acquaint_v with_o the_o prophetical_a way_n of_o write_v and_o may_v understand_v what_o without_o it_o will_v be_v obscure_a i_o have_v just_a before_o observe_v the_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o repair_v to_o the_o law_n as_o to_o the_o phrase_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v the_o law_n in_o its_o noble_a sense_n we_o must_v repair_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o from_o this_o relation_n between_o these_o two_o be_v it_o that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o scripture_n especial_o as_o to_o the_o future_a state_n of_o the_o church_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v clothe_v in_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a institution_n and_o rite_n thus_o the_o success_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v describe_v under_o such_o character_n isai._n 2._o 2._o 3._o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o last_o day_n that_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o lord_n house_n shall_v be_v establish_v in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n and_o all_o nation_n shall_v flow_v unto_o it_o isai._n 66._o 23._o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v from_o one_o new-moon_n to_o another_o and_o from_o one_o sabbath_n to_o another_o all_o flesh_n shall_v come_v to_o worship_n before_o i_o at_o jerusalem_n v_o 20._o which_o and_o the_o like_a phrase_n be_v no_o more_o literal_o to_o be_v fulfil_v than_o that_o we_o shall_v eat_v bread_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o now_o as_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o future_a state_n be_v often_o describe_v by_o such_o phrase_n as_o belong_v to_o this_o present_a state_n and_o not_o to_o that_o which_o they_o be_v literal_o apply_v to_o so_o the_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v frequent_o exemplify_v under_o such_o resemblance_n and_o form_n of_o speech_n as_o suit_v the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o who_o immediate_a use_n they_o be_v write_v and_o notwithstanding_o which_o neither_o they_o nor_o other_o can_v possible_o be_v lead_v into_o such_o a_o mistake_n as_o to_o think_v that_o such_o shall_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v as_o those_o expression_n verbal_o signify_v when_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o prophecy_n of_o scripture_n that_o that_o legal_a state_n be_v to_o be_v abolish_v and_o also_o that_o several_a of_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o be_v unpracticable_a as_o for_o example_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o from_o one_o new-moon_n to_o another_o and_o from_o one_o sabbath_n to_o another_o that_o be_v monthly_o and_o weekly_a all_o nation_n shall_v come_v up_o to_o worship_n the_o lord_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o such_o phrase_n we_o must_v not_o consider_v what_o they_o exact_o signify_v in_o their_o first_o and_o original_a use_n but_o to_o what_o purpose_n they_o serve_v and_o be_v apply_v and_o if_o so_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v light_o as_o soon_o understand_v the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n which_o st._n peter_n speak_v of_o 2_o pet._n 3._o 13._o as_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o as_o well_o shall_v we_o understand_v babylon_n and_o euphrates_n in_o the_o mystical_a sense_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n as_o we_o do_v in_o the_o historical_a book_n of_o scripture_n but_o above_o all_o there_o be_v nothing_o do_v so_o lay_v open_a the_o secret_n and_o mystery_n of_o prophecy_n as_o the_o event_n for_o by_o that_o mean_n where_o it_o be_v fulfil_v it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v historical_o relate_v and_o as_o if_o we_o look_v back_o from_o the_o event_n to_o the_o prediction_n we_o the_o better_o understand_v that_o prediction_n which_o without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o observation_n of_o the_o event_n we_o can_v not_o perhaps_o have_v understand_v so_o by_o compare_v what_o yet_o remain_v to_o be_v fulfil_v with_o what_o have_v be_v already_o fulfil_v we_o have_v a_o useful_a key_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o the_o obscure_a by_o the_o plain_a and_o what_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o by_o what_o we_o do_v thus_o for_o instance_n we_o may_v understand_v the_o prophetical_a scheme_n of_o speech_n concern_v the_o destruction_n of_o a_o nation_n by_o compare_v one_o of_o the_o testament_n with_o the_o other_o or_o what_o be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v with_o what_o have_v be_v fulfil_v so_o when_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o find_v it_o prophetical_o threaten_v of_o babylon_n idumea_n egypt_n etc._n etc._n that_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o constellation_n thereof_o
