great_a profit_n as_o by_o hear_v proach_a yea_o suppose_v they_o say_v they_o can_v read_v better_o than_o he_o can_v preach_v no_o read_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v their_o read_n shall_v

only_o by_o hear_v ordinary_o thus_o far_o for_o the_o circumstance_n now_o receive_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o comfort_n be_v set_v down_o in_o three_o point_n the_o first_o two_o point_n agree_v with_o the_o petition_n the_o three_o be_v further_a than_o come_v in_o his_o mind_n to_o seek_v the_o health_n of_o body_n be_v the_o first_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o petition_n length_n of_o day_n be_v the_o second_o it_o agree_v also_o with_o the_o petition_n the_o three_o be_v further_a than_o he_o can_v have_v look_v for_o and_o more_o than_o he_o seek_v what_o be_v that_o a_o sure_a estate_n a_o prosperous_a estate_n and_o a_o glorious_a estate_n promise_v to_o he_o during_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o day_n this_o be_v more_o than_o he_o seek_v now_o as_o to_o the_o order_n that_o the_o prophet_n keep_v ere_o he_o come_v to_o the_o comfort_n he_o use_v a_o short_a preface_n the_o word_n be_v these_o the_o lord_n call_v on_o he_o and_o he_o say_v go_v to_o hezekiah_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o thy_o father_n david_n this_o preface_n differ_v in_o two_o point_n from_o the_o preface_n that_o he_o use_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chap._n first_o there_o be_v here_o mention_v make_v of_o david_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o former_a and_o so_o oft_o as_o ever_o you_o find_v mention_v make_v of_o david_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o any_o preface_n so_o oft_o let_v the_o singular_a favour_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n come_v in_o your_o mind_n and_o when_o ever_o you_o see_v david_n place_v in_o any_o preface_n let_v christ_n come_v in_o your_o mind_n because_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ._n this_o mention_n of_o david_n place_v here_o be_v to_o let_v the_o king_n see_v that_o the_o readiness_n of_o his_o comfort_n flow_v from_o the_o messiah_n make_v to_o wit_n jesus_n christ_n from_o who_o all_o true_a comfort_n flow_v and_o without_o who_o there_o be_v neither_o comfort_n nor_o consolation_n he_o call_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o david_n because_o the_o principal_a promise_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v to_o david_n and_o his_o house_n and_o special_o that_o promise_n concern_v the_o messiah_n in_o who_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o full_o accomplish_v in_o he_o this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o difference_n father_n the_o second_o point_n wherein_o they_o differ_v be_v this_o in_o this_o preface_n he_o call_v david_n the_o king_n father_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v the_o man_n who_o i_o love_v so_o well_o i_o see_v he_o to_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o thou_o to_o be_v his_o child_n and_o his_o son_n not_o only_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o grace_n i_o see_v thou_o to_o be_v his_o son_n by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a promise_n of_o grace_n make_v to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n must_v proper_o appertain_v to_o thou_o where_o otherwise_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v his_o son_n by_o carnal_a propagation_n only_o these_o promise_n of_o grace_n have_v no_o more_o appertain_v to_o thy_o person_n than_o they_o do_v appertain_v to_o the_o person_n of_o achaz_n thy_o father_n but_o by_o reason_n thou_o be_v not_o only_o his_o son_n by_o nature_n but_o also_o by_o grace_n therefore_o the_o whole_a promise_n of_o grace_n appertain_v to_o thou_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n rom._n 9_o it_o be_v not_o carnal_a generation_n that_o make_v we_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o not_o all_o that_o be_v of_o israel_n be_v israel_n in_o deed_n they_o be_v not_o all_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o only_o the_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o that_o through_o belief_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n become_v the_o son_n of_o mercy_n and_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n then_o this_o belief_n in_o the_o promise_n make_v we_o not_o only_a son_n to_o god_n but_o son_n to_o david_n and_o abraham_n for_o follow_v the_o footstep_n of_o abraham_n in_o his_o faith_n by_o imitation_n of_o his_o faith_n we_o become_v his_o son_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o word_n of_o the_o preface_n lesson_n of_o this_o i_o mark_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n and_o first_o by_o these_o word_n you_o see_v the_o prophet_n stay_v not_o nor_o bide_v not_o but_o hold_v forth_o his_o course_n till_o he_o be_v command_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o stand_v and_o stay_v he_o have_v a_o special_a command_n for_o he_o ere_o he_o return_v this_o teach_v all_o officebearer_n that_o in_o god_n errand_n no_o m●n_z oughts_z to_o enterprise_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o own_o hand_n but_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n own_o advice_n ere_o he_o proceed_v to_o his_o work_n we_o have_v his_o advice_n when_o we_o have_v the_o warrant_n of_o his_o word_n the_o second_o thing_n i_o mark_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v command_v to_o go_v lesson_n he_o stay_v not_o but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n say_v the_o word_n he_o obey_v he_o make_v no_o doubt_v he_o a●keth_v no_o reason_n at_o god_n he_o take_v it_o not_o to_o his_o advisement_n he_o make_v no_o opposition_n but_o incontinent_o he_o obey_v and_o sure_o this_o be_v true_a that_o if_o ever_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v any_o reason_n to_o have_v repine_v isaiah_n have_v reason_n at_o this_o time_n and_o why_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o with_o one_o mouth_n he_o be_v command_v to_o recall_v that_o severe_a sentence_n which_o he_o have_v pronounce_v and_o to_o pronounce_v the_o contrary_a which_o may_v have_v engender_v a_o wonderful_a suspicion_n in_o the_o king_n heart_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o suddainnes_n if_o isaiah_n have_v be_v as_o short_a and_o as_o angry_a as_o jonas_n no_o question_n he_o will_v have_v ask_v a_o reason_n at_o god_n for_o jonas_n be_v not_o command_v to_o recall_v his_o sentence_n neither_o be_v he_o send_v in_o such_o suddainnes_n to_o call_v it_o back_o but_o he_o see_v the_o word_n of_o his_o threaten_n not_o to_o come_v to_o pass_v therefore_o he_o fret_v and_o fume_v against_o god_n where_o if_o he_o have_v be_v command_v in_o such_o suddainnes_n to_o go_v and_o recall_v his_o sentence_n you_o may_v easy_o conjecture_v what_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o part_n this_o perturbation_n that_o be_v in_o jonas_n let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n for_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v that_o in_o all_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o condition_n annex_v he_o will_v not_o have_v take_v it_o so_o high_o and_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v that_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o cast_v off_o a_o sinner_n he_o have_v not_o take_v it_o so_o angry_o but_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o fume_n and_o fret_v against_o god_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n here_o to_o be_v note_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v eschew_v of_o the_o teacher_n in_o the_o person_n of_o jonas_n another_o thing_n to_o be_v follow_v of_o they_o in_o the_o person_n of_o isaiah_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v eschew_v be_v this_o person_n jonas_n stand_v so_o precise_o upon_o his_o reputation_n that_o he_o be_v exceed_o angry_a that_o god_n shall_v change_v his_o judgement_n in_o mercy_n now_o i_o say_v this_o fault_n will_v be_v eschew_v of_o all_o and_o special_o of_o officebearer_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o office-bearer_n which_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n who_o will_v not_o rejoice_v exceed_o and_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v all_o these_o threaten_n which_o from_o time_n to_o time_n be_v pronounce_v against_o these_o bloody_a man_n all_o those_o threaten_n that_o be_v pronounce_v against_o the_o manifest_a oppressor_n and_o against_o these_o sacrilegious_a person_n i_o be_o assure_v there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o will_v exceed_o rejoice_v to_o see_v these_o threaten_n turn_v in_o mercy_n again_o i_o be_o assure_v there_o be_v not_o a_o spiritual_a office-bearer_n that_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n who_o will_v not_o exceed_o rejoice_v to_o see_v all_o the_o threaten_n and_o admonition_n direct_v from_o this_o place_n to_o magistrate_n of_o all_o rank_n inferior_a superior_a and_o supreme_a turn_v in_o mercy_n he_o be_v more_o than_o unhappy_a that_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o threaten_v that_o if_o he_o see_v the_o
in_o respect_n that_o faith_n be_v the_o ground_n whereupon_o all_o the_o rest_n depend_v and_o in_o respect_n that_o this_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o jewel_n as_o without_o the_o which_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o any_o of_o you_o to_o please_v god_n without_o which_o all_o your_o deed_n be_v abomination_n before_o he_o without_o the_o which_o you_o be_v in_o the_o great_a misery_n which_o misery_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o terrible_a in_o that_o you_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o be_v it_o not_o good_a reason_n that_o you_o know_v and_o understand_v how_o this_o faith_n be_v first_o wrought_v and_o then_o nourish_v in_o your_o soul_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o see_v how_o it_o be_v create_v and_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v bring_v about_o you_o may_v examine_v

therefore_o as_o time_n will_v permit_v and_o god_n shall_v give_v grace_n i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v how_o the_o holy_a spirit_n employ_v his_o travail_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o what_o pain_n the_o holy_a ghost_n take_v in_o create_v and_o form_v this_o jewel_n of_o faith_n in_o your_o soul_n yet_o before_o i_o enter_v this_o work_n to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o travail_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o work_v of_o this_o faith_n in_o your_o heart_n it_o be_v necessary_a and_o more_o than_o necessary_a that_o you_o understand_v first_o your_o own_o

second_o place_n with_o the_o denunciation_n of_o death_n indeed_o isaiah_n in_o his_o denunciation_n appear_v to_o be_v very_o strict_a but_o how_o strict_a soever_o he_o be_v he_o have_v his_o

be_v confess_v by_o the_o king_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o himself_o worthy_a of_o this_o love_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o love_v for_o his_o own_o cause_n of_o necessity_n then_o he_o must_v be_v love_v for_o that_o man_n cause_n that_o take_v away_o his_o sin_n now_o read_v over_o the_o scripture_n what_o man_n be_v that_o who_o have_v take_v away_o our_o sin_n take_v on_o he_o our_o debt_n &_o discharge_v he_o honest_o and_o honourable_o of_o it_o even_o he_o that_o be_v god_n and_o man_n also_o christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o in_o these_o same_o word_n quiet_o he_o acknowledge_v his_o sin_n to_o be_v remove_v for_o the_o love_n which_o god_n do_v bear_v to_o he_o in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v in_o his_o loin_n as_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o man_n able_a to_o bear_v and_o discharge_v this_o burden_n save_v this_o man_n which_o be_v god_n also_o able_a because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o as_o he_o be_v able_a so_o he_o discharge_v this_o burden_n in_o his_o own_o time_n and_o christ_n be_v just_o the_o only_a mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man._n and_o therefore_o who_o the_o lord_n love_v he_o love_v in_o he_o and_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n show_v mercy_n it_o be_v for_o his_o cause_n only_o for_o why_o he_o perfect_o satisfy_v for_o the_o whole_a business_n which_o may_v be_v easy_o see_v in_o these_o three_o point_n for_o fi●st_v he_o deliver_v we_o from_o these_o sin_n which_o we_o call_v actual_a sin_n and_o how_o by_o his_o perfect_a satisfaction_n whereby_o he_o satisfy_v full_o in_o suffer_v hell_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o death_n in_o his_o body_n and_o that_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o free_v we_o from_o these_o actual_a sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o so_o that_o in_o this_o point_n he_o be_v a_o perfect_a mediator_n second_o he_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o puddle_n and_o rot_a root_n from_o the_o which_o they_o proccede_v for_o you_o see_v christ_n jesus_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o our_o nature_n in_o he_o be_v full_o sanctify_v by_o that_o same_o power_n and_o this_o perfect_a purity_n of_o our_o nature_n in_o his_o person_n cover_v our_o impurity_n for_o he_o be_v not_o conceive_v in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n as_o we_o be_v but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o perfect_o sanctify_v our_o nature_n in_o he_o even_o in_o the_o moment_n of_o his_o conception_n so_o he_o be_v thorough_o purge_v his_o purity_n cover_v our_o impurity_n now_o in_o the_o three_o point_n also_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a mediator_n for_o he_o not_o only_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o accomplish_v the_o whole_a law_n for_o we_o yea_o and_o more_o than_o the_o law_n require_v for_o the_o second_o table_n require_v only_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourself_o but_o christ_n do_v more_o than_o this_o for_o none_o love_v his_o neighbour_n so_o that_o willing_o he_o will_v die_v for_o he_o so_o christ_n in_o die_v for_o we_o show_v that_o he_o love_v we_o more_o than_o the_o law_n require_v and_o so_o he_o not_o only_o accomplish_v the_o law_n for_o we_o but_o do_v more_o than_o the_o law_n require_v now_o this_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o he_o come_v in_o between_o we_o and_o his_o father_n and_o cover_v our_o rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n or_o else_o we_o can_v not_o be_v free_a from_o condemnation_n in_o this_o point_n also_o all_o these_o to_o wit_n perfect_a purity_n perfect_a satisfaction_n and_o perfect_a righteousness_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n perfect_o and_o therefore_o only_a mercy_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o he_o and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o christ_n to_o be_v his_o intercessor_n that_o man_n shall_v never_o taste_v of_o mercy_n now_o let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o application_n what_o manner_n of_o intercession_n can_v christ_n make_v for_o that_o man_n that_o blaspheme_v his_o father_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o son_n can_v intercede_v where_o the_o father_n be_v blaspheme_v wilful_o and_o willing_o yea_o of_o all_o judgement_n this_o be_v a_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n where_o the_o spirit_n of_o blasphemy_n have_v such_o power_n that_o he_o make_v a_o man_n to_o utter_v such_o voice_n against_o his_o maker_n thus_o far_o concern_v these_o word_n now_o in_o the_o next_o two_o verse_n he_o give_v two_o reason_n sinne●_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n and_o deliver_v he_o from_o the_o death_n of_o his_o body_n and_o he_o show_v in_o that_o 18_o and_o 19_o verse_n that_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o work_n have_v his_o own_o entry_n and_o special_a respect_n to_o his_o own_o glory_n which_o glory_n he_o see_v will_v be_v advance_v more_o by_o the_o lengthen_v of_o his_o day_n then_o otherise_v by_o the_o shorten_n thereof_o second_o that_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o delivery_n will_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o praise_n to_o all_o generation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v say_v the_o father_n shall_v instruct_v their_o child_n and_o so_o father_n and_o child_n in_o their_o extremity_n they_o shall_v run_v to_o god_n for_o the_o like_a mercy_n now_o for_o these_o two_o end_n that_o god_n may_v be_v praise_v of_o the_o king_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o of_o his_o posterity_n and_o of_o all_o the_o posterity_n thereafter_o the_o lord_n bestow_v this_o benefit_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o give_v he_o health_n i_o take_v up_o the_o reason_n in_o these_o two_o verse_n the_o 18._o and_o 19_o and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v take_v up_o in_o the_o 18_o and_o beginning_n of_o the_o 19_o for_o there_o he_o say_v the_o grave_n can_v confess_v thou_o death_n can_v praise_v thou_o as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v dead_a man_n and_o bury_v can_v praise_v thou_o as_o we_o do_v in_o these_o body_n of_o we_o in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n live_v in_o thy_o church_n here_o dead_a man_n that_o rest_v in_o their_o grave_n can_v look_v for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o thy_o promise_n and_o if_o i_o be_v dead_a and_o my_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n i_o can_v not_o look_v for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o thy_o promise_n in_o give_v i_o a_o son_n it_o be_v only_o the_o live_n the_o live_a that_o be_v able_a to_o praise_v thou_o there_o he_o double_v the_o word_n to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o they_o must_v be_v endue_v with_o a_o double_a life_n that_o praise_v the_o lord_n aright_o they_o must_v not_o only_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n but_o also_o they_o must_v live_v in_o their_o soul_n now_o the_o king_n say_v i_o be_v restore_v to_o this_o double_a life_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n i_o shall_v praise_v thou_o for_o none_o can_v praise_v thou_o worthy_o as_o i_o do_v this_o day_n but_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a as_o i_o be_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n soul_n now_o to_o examine_v the_o word_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o they_o who_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_a leave_n off_o this_o exercise_n only_o he_o mean_v that_o they_o who_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v will_v not_o praise_v god_n in_o their_o body_n will_v not_o praise_v he_o as_o we_o do_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o they_o leave_v off_o this_o exercise_n yea_o by_o the_o contrary_n we_o must_v believe_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n depart_v be_v more_o busy_a in_o this_o exercise_n then_o when_o they_o be_v alive_a and_o how_o prove_v i_o this_o the_o near_a the_o soul_n be_v unto_o god_n the_o great_a pleasure_n and_o delight_v it_o take_v in_o he_o but_o after_o it_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o life_n it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o near_o couple_v with_o god_n therefore_o it_o take_v the_o great_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o he_o now_o the_o great_a pleasure_n it_o take_v in_o god_n the_o great_a praise_n
