the_o first_o testimony_n be_v take_v from_o psal_n 22.22_o the_o literal_a sense_n be_v david_n be_v king_n over_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n yet_o he_o call_v they_o his_o brethren_n and_o when_o god_n have_v save_v he_o from_o death_n he_o profess_v to_o praise_n god_n in_o their_o company_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o congregation_n or_o assemby_a the_o mystical_a sense_n be_v christ_n be_v a_o king_n over_o the_o faithful_a yet_o he_o call_v the_o faithful_a his_o brethren_n and_o when_o god_n have_v raise_v and_o save_v he_o from_o death_n he_o appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n where_o they_o be_v congregat_v and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o assembly_n he_o real_o declare_v the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o with_o out_o all_o doubt_n do_v celebrate_v the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o word_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o hence_o it_o be_v we_o read_v john_n 20.17_o that_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n will_v mary_n to_o go_v unto_o his_o brethren_n and_o say_v of_o he_o i_o ascend_v unto_o my_o father_n and_o your_o father_n and_o to_o my_o god_n and_o your_o god_n in_o which_o word_n he_o give_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o call_v they_o his_o brethren_n namely_o because_o he_o and_o they_o have_v one_o common_a god_n and_o father_n 13_o and_o again_o i_o will_v put_v my_o trust_n in_o he_o the_o second_o testimony_n to_o prove_v the_o former_a point_n be_v take_v as_o i_o conceive_v out_o of_o psal_n 91.2_o because_o that_o psalm_n be_v so_o frequent_o apply_v to_o christ_n though_o this_o testimony_n be_v extant_a in_o several_a other_o place_n the_o literal_a sense_n david_n make_v god_n his_o god_n and_o confidence_n to_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o persevere_v will_v put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o the_o literal_a sense_n christ_n in_o like_a manner_n make_v god_n his_o god_n and_o confidence_n to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o persevere_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o before_o his_o

be_v what_o this_o make_v to_o the_o purpose_n of_o prove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v the_o brethren_n of_o christ_n the_o answer_n be_v it_o prove_v it_o direct_o though_o not_o immediate_o for_o see_v christ_n and_o the_o faithful_a have_v god_n for_o their_o god_n and_o for_o their_o confidence_n to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o therefore_o he_o and_o the_o faithful_a be_v of_o one_o

verse_n 11._o so_o this_o testimony_n prove_v their_o unity_n in_o god_n and_o their_o unity_n in_o god_n prove_v their_o fraternity_n between_o themselves_o for_o when_o the_o first_o truth_n be_v

have_v give_v i_o the_o three_o testimony_n to_o prove_v the_o former_a point_n take_v from_o esai_n 8.18_o the_o literal_a sense_n god_n have_v give_v the_o prophet_n child_n and_o he_o and_o they_o be_v brethren_n in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v for_o sign_n and_o wonder_n and_o be_v so_o appoint_v to_o be_v from_o god_n the_o mystical_a sense_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n

word_n of_o the_o psalm_n wherein_o god_n call_v this_o rest_n his_o rest_n for_o the_o rest_v proper_a to_o god_n himself_o wherewith_o he_o himself_o rest_v be_v by_o a_o far_o better_a title_n

for_o as_o god_n rest_v be_v a_o perpetual_a rest_n in_o rest_v from_o his_o work_n for_o ever_o so_o shall_v our_o rest_n be_v perpetual_a in_o rest_v for_o ever_o from_o all_o our_o labour_n and_o

that_o rest_n of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o rest_n from_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v finish_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n namely_o because_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n

in_o these_o word_n we_o have_v show_v we_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n neither_o in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n to_o which_o only_o we_o must_v look_v here_o be_v mention_v or_o name_v any_o other_o

again_o in_o these_o word_n of_o the_o psalm_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o god_n rest_n whereof_o god_n people_n shall_v partake_v therefore_o with_o good_a reason_n in_o a_o genuine_a and_o

that_o some_o must_v enter_v therein_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o a_o passage_n shall_v be_v open_a to_o that_o rest_n and_o that_o some_o shall_v enter_v

have_v worship_v god_n with_o gesture_n of_o holy_a reverence_n almost_o alike_o so_o that_o god_n have_v prescribe_v no_o particular_a ordinance_n to_o regulate_v how_o we_o shall_v honour_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o worship_n because_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v sufficient_o instruct_v we_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v with_o most_o humble_a lowly_a and_o reverend_a gesture_n but_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n god_n have_v make_v especial_a provision_n by_o divers_a particular_a ordinance_n under_o the_o first_o covenant_n for_o therein_o be_v several_a law_n and_o precept_n for_o all_o the_o several_a service_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n how_o the_o offering_n of_o incense_n gift_n and_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v perform_v for_o man_n must_v not_o serve_v god_n after_o

two_o word_n of_o worship_n and_o service_n be_v not_o conjoin_v in_o one_o sentence_n but_o either_o of_o they_o be_v put_v single_o alone_a then_o many_o time_n it_o be_v ampliate_v and_o extend_v

1._o by_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n in_o the_o five_o verse_n he_o seem_v to_o understand_v all_o offering_n eucharistical_a or_o of_o thanksgiving_n whereof_o a_o part_n go_v to_o god_n as_o the_o

which_o be_v whole_o burn_v and_o go_v whole_o to_o god_n which_o be_v sometime_o call_v sacrifice_n of_o praise_n because_o they_o be_v offer_v whole_o in_o honour_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o

sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n 3._o by_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n be_v mean_v all_o expiation_n or_o offering_n to_o put_v away_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n of_o ignorances_n and_n infirmity_n for_o which_o kind_n of_o sin_n only_o those_o sacrifice_n be_v allow_v and_o in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v simple_o sin_n 7._o then_o say_v i_o loe_o i_o come_v this_o word_n of_o

in_o that_o future_a world_n to_o execute_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o volume_n of_o the_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o in_o these_o word_n david_n show_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v

of_o likeness_n as_o according_a or_o some_o casual_a particle_n for_o because_o or_o see_v for_o such_o particle_n be_v oftentimes_o conceal_v or_o silence_v but_o here_o again_o we_o meet_v with_o

from_o the_o roll_n of_o it_o and_o hence_o book_n be_v call_v volume_n a_o famous_a expositor_n among_o the_o romanist_n prefer_v the_o greek_a read_v in_o this_o place_n before_o the_o hebrew_n and_o write_v that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a repetition_n to_o say_v in_o the_o volume_n of_o the_o book_n for_o that_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o book_n this_o be_v

the_o book_n the_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o the_o hebrew_n word_n megillah_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v a_o whole_a book_n consist_v of_o many_o skin_n but_o also_o any_o one_o single_a skin_n which_o may_v contain_v only_o some_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n and_o therefore_o the_o greek_a translator_n conceive_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o go_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n if_o for_o the_o whole_a volume_n he_o shall_v put_v only_o some_o part_n or_o certain_a chapter_n of_o it_o especial_o because_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o redundancie_n in_o word_n will_v seem_v the_o
