of_o promise_n 29_o but_o as_o than_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n so_o now_o also_o 30_o but_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n cast_v out_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o her_o son_n for_o the_o son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n shall_v not_o be_v heir_n with_o the_o son_n of_o the_o freewoman_n 31_o therefore_o brethren_n we_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n but_o of_o the_o free_a by_o the_o freedom_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v we_o free_a the_o explication_n 22._o note_v it_o be_v then_o lawful_a beside_o the_o wife_n to_o have_v concubine_n so_o abraham_n have_v for_o his_o wife_n sara_n for_o his_o concubine_n agar_n sara_n his_o wife_n be_v a_o freewoman_n and_o of_o she_o he_o beget_v isaac_n agar_n his_o concubine_n be_v a_o bondwoman_n and_o of_o she_o he_o beget_v ishmael_n 23._o that_o be_v to_o say_v agar_n the_o concubine_n be_v a_o young_a and_o fruitful_a woman_n so_o no_o marvel_n though_o abraham_n be_v a_o old_a man_n that_o he_o get_v a_o child_n by_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n upon_o a_o young_a woman_n and_o she_o fertile_a too_o hence_o ishmael_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v beget_v and_o bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v by_o the_o due_a course_n of_o nature_n but_o isaac_n be_v not_o beget_v nor_o bear_v thus_o but_o according_a to_o promise_v that_o be_v miraculous_o since_o god_n have_v promise_v abraham_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o so_o that_o this_o seed_n may_v be_v lawful_a heir_n to_o the_o promise_a benediction_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n wife_n not_o of_o his_o concubine_n since_o the_o concubine_n be_v a_o bondwoman_n who_o issue_n can_v not_o inherit_v the_o father_n estate_n wherefore_o to_o make_v this_o promise_n good_a god_n give_v power_n to_o sara_n a_o sterile_a and_o age_a woman_n to_o conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o a_o son_n miraculous_o and_o this_o son_n be_v therefore_o call_v the_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n not_o of_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o grace_n not_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o his_o name_n be_v isaac_n 24._o here_o the_o apostle_n profess_v to_o speak_v allegorical_o that_o be_v mystical_o or_o figurative_o compare_v these_o two_o woman_n of_o abraham_n to_o the_o two_o testament_n old_a and_o new_a by_o agar_n he_o mean_v the_o old_a by_o sara_n the_o new_a testament_n so_o when_o in_o this_o verse_n he_o say●_n which_o thing_n be_v say_v he_o mean_v these_o thing_n which_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o two_o verse_n before_o and_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n we_o shall_v find_v so_o much_o allegory_n as_o therein_o use_n will_v be_v make_v of_o all_o the_o several_a sense_n which_o in_o speech_n be_v use_v so_o that_o upon_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o agar_n natural_a and_o sara_n supernatural_a son_n follow_v the_o allegorical_a sense_n that_o these_o two_o woman_n signify_v the_o two_o testament_n hence_o follow_v the_o tropological_a v._o 29._o that_o as_o then_o the_o natural_a son_n do_v persecute_v the_o spiritual_a so_o now_o also_o and_o v._o 26._o we_o find_v the_o anagogical_a sense_n that_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n be_v the_o freeborn-woman_n and_o our_o mother_n this_o premise_a we_o shall_v better_o understand_v what_o follow_v as_o for_o the_o two_o testament_n they_o be_v so_o call_v because_o they_o contain_v the_o two_o pact_n or_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v at_o several_a time_n with_o his_o people_n the_o first_o with_o moses_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n which_o god_n make_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o a_o angel_n upon_o the_o mount_n sinai_n promise_v he_o and_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o he_o will_v give_v unto_o they_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n whence_o this_o be_v call_v the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o people_n on_o the_o other_o side_n promise_v god_n they_o will_v upon_o this_o consideration_n keep_v the_o commandment_n or_o law_n which_o he_o by_o moses_n do_v deliver_v to_o they_o the_o second_o pact_n or_o covenant_n be_v that_o which_o god_n make_v with_o christ_n and_o christian_n in_o jerusalem_n and_o zion_n where_o god_n promise_v to_o christian_n he_o will_v conduct_v they_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o make_v they_o heir_n thereof_o whereupon_o they_o promise_v to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n deliver_v to_o they_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o such_o other_o precept_n as_o our_o saviour_n shall_v deliver_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n and_o this_o pact_n be_v on_o both_o side_n ratify_v at_o the_o last_o supper_n of_o our_o

make_v it_o my_o work_n that_o i_o can_v only_o say_v it_o be_v my_o observation_n and_o must_v give_v the_o honour_n of_o it_o to_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o sodality_n his_o holiness_n for_o no_o other_o single_a person_n can_v challenge_v that_o privilege_n of_o prescribe_v the_o form_n of_o public_a prayer_n unto_o the_o universal_a church_n though_o in_o truth_n we_o must_v by_o name_n

590._o who_o in_o his_o volume_n entitle_v of_o sacrament_n mean_v of_o mystery_n for_o it_o seem_v he_o find_v these_o prayer_n to_o be_v most_o profound_o mysterious_a indeed_o as_o now_o i_o here_o endeavour_v to_o declare_v throughout_o my_o book_n have_v add_v some_o more_o prayer_n to_o what_o gelasius_n make_v and_o have_v compact_v they_o altogether_o as_o into_o a_o magazine_n of_o the_o

to_o avouch_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v father_n of_o it_o otherwise_o then_o by_o observation_n as_o above_o i_o say_v but_o thence_o i_o be_o bold_a indeed_o to_o commend_v the_o devotion_n unto_o our_o sodality_n as_o a_o practice_n of_o the_o most_o solid_a piety_n imaginable_a and_o here_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o mind_v the_o reader_n that_o it_o will_v very_o little_o avail_v
