prophesi_v here_o chief_o of_o the_o misery_n and_o captivity_n which_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n suffer_v under_o sennacharib_n king_n of_o assyria_n and_o under_o nabuchadnezzar_n and_o the_o babylonian_n which_o be_v mere_a hunter_n of_o man_n and_o so_o oppress_v not_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n only_o but_o all_o other_o people_n that_o they_o can_v reach_v when_o therefore_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o sword_n and_o captivity_n of_o the_o babylonian_n these_o gentile_n also_o be_v deliver_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o delivery_n they_o have_v reason_n to_o rejoice_v as_o well_o as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n see_v isaiah_n 14._o verse_n 6.7_o and_o isaiah_n 42.10_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o purpose_n but_o this_o be_v for_o the_o first_o and_o historical_a sense_n now_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o temporal_a misery_n and_o affliction_n be_v type_n of_o spiritual_a misery_n and_o affliction_n which_o we_o suffer_v under_o the_o devil_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o delivery_n from_o temporal_a misery_n and_o affliction_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o delivery_n from_o the_o misery_n which_o we_o suffer_v by_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n though_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o and_o historical_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n moses_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o corporeal_a deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o such_o gentile_n as_o be_v persecute_v and_o hold_v captive_a by_o the_o assyrian_n and_o babylonian_n and_o the_o like_a from_o their_o sword_n and_o their_o captivity_n yet_o in_o the_o second_o and_o mystical_a sense_n he_o prophesi_v of_o the_o spiritual_a delivery_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n both_o from_o that_o which_o they_o suffer_v by_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n by_o christ_n and_o for_o that_o be_v they_o exhort_v to_o rejoice_v in_o these_o word_n rejoice_v you_o gentile_n with_o his_o people_n ver._n 11._o and_o again_o supple_a the_o scripture_n

which_o conclusion_n he_o draw_v and_o it_o evident_o follow_v out_o of_o those_o forego_v word_n verse_n 15._o viz._n for_o he_o say_v unto_o moses_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o that_o for_o which_o he_o quote_v those_o word_n but_o he_o quote_v they_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n in_o show_v mercy_n to_o or_o in_o justify_v those_o which_o be_v figure_v either_o in_o isaac_n or_o in_o jacob_n that_o be_v in_o

which_o i_o say_v be_v expedient_a to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o epistle_n of_o saint_n paul_n be_v to_o know_v how_o the_o part_n of_o scripture_n which_o he_o

take_v his_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n it_o will_v seem_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o to_o see_v how_o paul_n can_v bring_v they_o to_o prove_v such_o thing_n by_o they_o as_o he_o bring_v they_o for_o but_o that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a this_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v a_o double_a sense_n one_o concern_v terrene_a and_o corporeal_a thing_n and_o thing_n to_o come_v to_o pass_v before_o the_o day_n of_o the_o messiah_n another_o concern_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n of_o which_o those_o
