other_o here_o be_v perfect_a demonstration_n to_o the_o assertor_n of_o the_o general_a stand_a hypothesis_n of_o the_o flood_n that_o the_o water_n can_v not_o according_a to_o their_o hypothesis_n and_o their_o own_o exposition_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o flood_n cover_v all_o the_o high_a hill_n under_o heaven_n fifteen_o cubit_n upward_o i_o mean_v the_o top_n of_o they_o for_o then_o

hypothesis_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o hypothesis_n but_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o very_a story_n of_o the_o flood_n to_o interpret_v the_o mountain_n

be_v a_o know_a figure_n that_o frequent_o occur_v in_o the_o holy_a volume_n as_o might_n be_v prove_v by_o a_o large_a induction_n of_o instance_n whereby_o what_o be_v true_a of_o a_o thing_n but_o in_o part_n be_v notwithstanding_o affirm_v of_o the_o whole_a and_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o the_o high_a hill_n under_o heaven_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v cover_v because_o in_o part_n they_o be_v so_o that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o the_o water_n reach_v up_o the_o side_n of_o they_o or_o second_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o synecdoche_n in_o the_o case_n there_o may_v be_v a_o hyperbole_n the_o mountain_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v cover_v to_o raise_v the_o representation_n of_o the_o flood_n and_o make_v it_o more_o stately_a by_o put_v a_o air_n of_o excessive_a greatness_n into_o it_o so_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v few_o very_a grand_a and_o remarkable_a thing_n in_o scripture_n but_o the_o mountain_n or_o hill_n be_v bring_v in_o to_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o their_o

23._o a_o great_a slaughter_n by_o blood_n reach_v to_o the_o mountain_n so_o god_n threaten_v to_o water_v the_o land_n of_o egypt_n with_o blood_n even_o to_o the_o mountain_n ezek._n 32._o 6._o and_o that_o the_o mountain_n shall_v be_v melt_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o nation_n isai._n 34._o 3._o as_o if_o blood_n be_v not_o only_o to_o swim_v about_o the_o mountain_n and_o to_o run_v over_o

in_o describe_v the_o deluge_n of_o water_n when_o the_o prophet_n thus_o exceed_v he_o in_o foretell_v a_o inundation_n of_o blood_n by_o no_o mean_n may_v some_o object_n and_o you_o have_v hint_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o even_o because_o what_o isaiah_n speak_v be_v in_o way_n of_o prediction_n and_o such_o hyperbole_n though_o they_o be_v common_a in_o prophecy_n be_v not_o use_v in_o history_n i_o answer_v such_o hyperbolical_a scheme_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v in_o historical_a as_o well_o as_o in_o prophetical_a matter_n thus_o the_o psalmist_n refer_v to_o the_o majestic_a or_o

he_o say_v the_o mountain_n skip_v like_o ram_n and_o the_o little_a hill_n like_o lamb_n psal._n 114._o 4._o and_o if_o against_o this_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o psalm_n be_v poetical_a and_o so_o these_o may_v be_v flight_n of_o fancy_n allowable_a to_o poet_n only_o though_o to_o inspire_v one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o other_o i_o answer_v the_o like_a occur_v in_o other_o book_n of_o scripture_n isaiah_n for_o instance_n reflect_v upon_o great_a and_o terrible_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o his_o people_n set_v they_o forth_o by_o this_o expression_n the_o mountain_n flow_v down_o at_o thy_o presence_n isai._n 64._o 3._o and_o habakkuk_n commemorate_n god_n be_v miraculous_a proceed_n in_o bring_v the_o israelite_n into_o canaan_n say_v the_o everlasting_a mountain_n be_v scatter_v the_o perpetual_a hill_n do_v bow_v hab._n 3._o 6._o and_o at_o the_o ten_o verse_n the_o mountain_n see_v thou_o and_o they_o tremble_v so_o that_o when_o moses_n describe_v the_o deluge_n in_o so_o superlative_a or_o transcendent_a a_o strain_n as_o by_o its_o cover_n the_o mountain_n and_o all_o the_o high_a hill_n under_o heaven_n it_o may_v be_v but_o to_o ingrandize_n or_o amplify_v the_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v but_o a_o high_a fly_a ornamental_a hyperbole_n use_v to_o grace_n and_o greaten_v the_o flood_n in_o his_o description_n of_o it_o and_o to_o render_v it_o the_o more_o stately_a or_o last_o we_o must_v know_v that_o to_o cover_v a_o thing_n in_o holy_a style_n be_v not_o always_o to_o surmount_v and_o overwhelm_v it_o but_o very_o frequent_o to_o surround_v it_o only_o or_o to_o be_v about_o it_o in_o great_a plenty_n or_o abundance_n for_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v common_o express_v the_o copiousness_n of_o one_o thing_n
