and_o do_n for_o he_o be_v good_a and_o upright_a therefore_o will_v he_o teach_v sinner_n in_o the_o way_n psal_n 25._o 8._o isa_n 42._o 1_o 6_o 7._o but_o yet_o further_o 2._o there_o be_v also_o contain_v in_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o oath_n which_o god_n swear_v to_o abraham_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n to_o wit_n in_o christ_n sinful_a one_o shall_v be_v bless_v that_o be_v that_o grace_n shall_v be_v give_v unto_o they_o in_o and_z by_o chrst_n to_o turn_v they_o from_o their_o sinful_a way_n or_o as_o here_o zacharias_n explain_v it_o that_o be_v will_v grant_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o also_o the_o apostle_n peter_n explicate_v this_o branch_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o oath_n make_v to_o abraham_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o our_o father_n namely_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n say_v unto_o abraham_n to_o wit_n in_o gen._n 22._o 18_o and_o in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o the_o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bless_v but_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o or_o contain_v in_o that_o covenant_n or_o oath_n the_o apostle_n show_v we_o in_o the_o next_o word_n namely_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v unto_o all_o however_o where_o the_o gospel_n and_o scripture_n be_v vouchsafe_v grace_n and_o power_n that_o they_o may_v repent_v and_o turn_v from_o their_o iniquity_n for_o so_o much_o the_o apostle_n plain_o signify_v in_o what_o immediate_o follow_v say_v unto_o you_o first_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n send_v he_o to_o bless_v you_o in_o turn_v away_o every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o his_o iniquity_n which_o evident_o show_v unto_o we_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o oath_n as_o also_o it_o be_v explain_v by_o zacharias_n as_o be_v say_v that_o be_v that_o god_n therein_o swear_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v that_o grace_n and_o blessing_n to_o turn_v they_o prevent_o that_o they_o may_v turn_v thereby_o and_o so_o receive_v further_o and_o follow_a grace_n and_o blessing_n act._n 3._o 25_o 26._o jam._n 4._o 5_o 6._o yea_o let_v this_o also_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n propound_v this_o as_o a_o further_a argument_n to_o move_v and_o persuade_v they_o who_o have_v crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n to_o repent_v whereto_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o act._n 3._o 19_o repent_v say_v he_o and_o be_v convert_v and_o use_v other_o motive_n to_o enforce_v that_o exhortation_n in_o ver_fw-la 19-24_a he_o then_o i_o say_v to_o excite_v and_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o repent_v assure_v they_o that_o god_n have_v swear_v to_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o grace_v so_o to_o do_v and_o now_o send_v christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o bless_v they_o in_o turn_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n ver_fw-la 25_o 26._o let_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n be_v consider_v if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o god_n do_v in_o that_o oath_n swear_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v grace_n and_o power_n for_o turn_v yet_o this_o must_v not_o be_v so_o extend_v as_o to_o reach_v unto_o all_o for_o zacharias_n say_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v unto_o we_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr that_o the_o oath_n respect_v all_o however_o all_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v plain_o preach_v and_o who_o be_v within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n as_o they_o speak_v and_o we_o can_v speak_v to_o none_o other_o for_o it_o be_v thus_o make_v in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bless_v gen._n 22._o 18._o and_o 26._o 4._o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n gen._n 28._o 14._o all_o the_o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n act._n 3._o 25._o and_o peter_n say_v not_o unto_o you_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n send_v he_o to_o bless_v you_o etc._n etc._n but_o unto_o you_o first_o etc._n etc._n first_o unto_o the_o jew_n to_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o they_o and_o second_o to_o the_o gentile_n to_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o they_o according_a to_o that_o say_n deliver_v thou_o from_o the_o people_n to_o wit_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o gentile_n unto_o who_o now_o i_o send_v thou_o to_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n in_o pursuance_n whereof_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o show_v first_o unto_o they_o of_o damascus_n and_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o throughout_o all_o the_o coast_n of_o judea_n and_o then_o to_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o shall_v repent_v and_o turn_v to_o god_n and_o do_v work_n meet_v for_o repentance_n act._n 3._o 26._o with_o chap._n 26._o 17_o 18_o 20-23_a so_o that_o by_o what_o have_v be_v note_v from_o the_o scripture_n it_o do_v very_o plainlyappear_v that_o while_o god_n give_v the_o wicked_a space_n of_o repentance_n and_o call_v they_o thereto_o he_o also_o give_v unto_o they_o yea_o he_o have_v swear_v that_o he_o will_v give_v unto_o they_o sufficient_a grace_n whereby_o they_o may_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o live_v and_o i_o have_v the_o long_o insist_v upon_o the_o evidence_a the_o truth_n hereof_o because_o there_o be_v many_o zealous_a one_o who_o affirm_v that_o god_n do_v indeed_o call_v all_o to_o repentance_n with_o a_o outward_a call_n but_o they_o deny_v that_o he_o give_v sufficient_a or_o save_v grace_n unto_o all_o so_o call_v thus_o to_o do_v and_o so_o they_o render_v his_o commandment_n which_o be_v easy_a matth._n 11._o 30._o to_o be_v grievous_a yea_o impossible_a to_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o most_o of_o man_n and_o as_o if_o he_o require_v they_o to_o make_v brick_n without_o straw_n whereas_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a 1_o joh._n 5._o 3._o he_o be_v no_o hard_a or_o austere_a master_n to_o reap_v where_o he_o have_v not_o sow_o or_o gather_v where_o he_o have_v not_o strew_v though_o some_o wicked_a and_o slothful_a servant_n render_v he_o so_o to_o do_v or_o represent_v he_o so_o to_o be_v matth._n 25._o 24-28_a but_o i_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o unto_o this_o particular_a 3._o as_o the_o wicked_a may_v possible_o turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n so_o also_o they_o may_v turn_v therefrom_o hopeful_o and_o successful_o they_o may_v turn_v and_o live_v for_o he_o who_o call_v and_o enable_v they_o to_o repent_v be_v a_o god_n pardon_v iniquity_n and_o sin_n and_o transgression_n exod._n 34_o 5_o 6._o psal_n 25._o 11._o if_o thou_o lord_z shall_v

die_v for_o all_o and_z rise_v again_o and_o see_v no_o corruption_n therefore_o through_o he_o be_v preach_v unto_o they_o that_o do_v not_o belive_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o man_n can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n act_v 13._o 37_o 38_o 39_o and_o god_n have_v accept_v his_o
