upon_o christ_n because_o no_o verse_n either_o before_o or_o after_o this_o verse_n do_v conclude_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o upon_o serious_a consideration_n i_o dare_v not_o take_v this_o verse_n in_o that_o sense_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o no_o linguist_n yet_o i_o love_v sometime_o to_o search_v into_o kirkeroe_n hebrew-greek_a lexicon_n to_o see_v in_o how_o many_o various_a

this_o mean_v i_o find_v that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n pagah_n in_o this_o verse_n do_v signify_v to_o meet_v and_o because_o it_o be_v in_o the_o conjugation_n hiphil_n it_o do_v signify_v to_o cause_n to_o meet_v so_o than_o the_o word_n must_v run_v thus_o the_o lord_n cause_v he_o to_o meet_v namely_o the_o father_n cause_v the_o mediator_n to_o meet_v to_o consult_v the_o way_n of_o fall_v man_n redemption_n from_o satan_n headplot_n and_o in_o that_o meeting_n all_o the_o trinity_n be_v equal_a counsellor_n and_o covenanter_n but_o the_o father_n be_v say_v to_o make_v or_o cause_v the_o meeting_n because_o he_o be_v first_o in_o order_n yet_o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o will_n in_o the_o trinity_n therefore_o in_o jer._n 21._o jer._n 30._o 21._o 30_o 21._o the_o

demand_v how_o christ_n do_v engage_v his_o heart_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o do_v it_o by_o way_n of_o contract_n or_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o the_o hebrew_n word_n gnarab_n which_o we_o translate_v engage_v do_v proper_o signify_v no_o more_o but_o a_o conjunction_n or_o join_v together_o but_o in_o this_o place_n it_o relate_v to_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o
