shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n even_o so_o here_o in_o this_o psalm_n the_o prophet_n sore_o tell_v their_o return_n from_o babylon_n forseeth_a the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o break_v out_o in_o complaint_n of_o his_o short_a life_n because_o he_o shall_v not_o tarry_v to_o see_v the_o day_n and_o to_o comfort_v himself_o again_o speak_v out_o in_o spirit_n what_o

meaning_n for_o one_o thing_n let_v we_o learn_v which_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o often_o both_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o of_o their_o prophecy_n they_o have_v a_o continual_a desire_n to_o see_v

receive_v and_o foretell_v the_o blessing_n which_o god_n will_v sure_o bring_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o word_n they_o have_v respect_n to_o he_o in_o who_o all_o god_n promise_n be_v accomplish_v

that_o though_o most_o of_o their_o prophecy_n have_v a_o truth_n of_o the_o present_a time_n and_o incident_a unto_o themselves_o yet_o they_o be_v also_o true_o and_o according_a to_o the_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d use_v of_o the_o apostle_n seem_v not_o to_o be_v without_o cause_n for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o hobrue_n phrase_n ▪_o as_o it_o be_v say_v yet_o it_o may_v well_o have_v just_a cause_n why_o the_o apostle_n use_v it_o in_o greek_a &_o it_o signify_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o say_v thus_o unto_o all_o angel_n we_o may_v say_v you_o be_v but_o minister_a spirit_n and_o so_o it_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o text_n next_o allege_v of_o christ_n to_o the_o son_n he_o say_v etc_n etc_n and_o thus_o the_o preposition_n be_v very_o convenient_o use_v and_o make_v the_o
