i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o text_n and_o that_o be_v the_o message_n itself_o i_o will_v own_v they_o and_o acknowledge_v they_o say_v god_n like_o these_o good_a fig_n

into_o the_o land_n of_o the_o chaldaean_n for_o their_o good_a you_o know_v what_o entrance_n i_o make_v into_o this_o text_n two_o part_n i_o show_v be_v considerable_a in_o it_o the_o author_n of_o a_o comfortable_a message_n and_o the_o message_n self_n the_o author_n of_o the_o comfortable_a message_n be_v the_o lord_n describe_v here_o by_o his_o relation_n to_o his_o people_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o this_o first_o branch_n i_o have_v dispatch_v i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o text_n and_o that_o be_v the_o message_n itself_o wherein_o we_o have_v first_o the_o explication_n of_o a_o type_n and_o then_o the_o application_n of_o it_o the_o explication_n of_o a_o type_n in_o these_o word_n like_o these_o good_a fig_n where_o the_o lord_n inform_v the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o vision_n of_o the_o two_o basket_n of_o fig_n the_o one_o of_o good_a fig_n the_o other_o of_o bad_a fig_n like_o these_o good_a fig_n say_v god_n so_o be_v all_o those_o good_a or_o godly_a person_n who_o i_o have_v send_v away_o captive_a into_o babylon_n so_o that_o god_n here_o compare_v the_o small_a number_n of_o godly_a one_o that_o be_v yet_o carry_v captive_a to_o babylon_n to_o fig_n and_o he_o compare_v they_o to_o good_a figs._n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v first_o why_o be_v these_o godly_a person_n compare_v to_o fig_n i_o answer_v for_o these_o three_o reason_n brief_o first_o because_o all_o the_o goodness_n they_o have_v in_o they_o be_v of_o god_n own_o plan_v isa_n 60.21_o the_o branch_n of_o my_o plant_n the_o work_n of_o my_o hand_n that_o i_o may_v be_v glorify_v second_o they_o be_v compare_v to_o fig_n because_o as_o fig_n you_o know_v ever_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o till_o they_o come_v to_o a_o ripeness_n and_o maturity_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o the_o gardener_n that_o plant_v they_o so_o do_v these_o godly_a person_n grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o grace_n till_o they_o come_v to_o some_o ripeness_n and_o maturity_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o the_o service_n of_o that_o god_n who_o have_v bestow_v this_o grace_n upon_o they_o fit_a to_o glorify_v he_o here_o and_o fit_a to_o be_v glorify_v of_o he_o hereafter_o and_o then_o three_o as_o fig_n when_o they_o be_v ripe_a they_o be_v very_o pleasant_a and_o delightful_a they_o be_v much_o esteem_v and_o desire_v among_o the_o jew_n as_o appear_v by_o hosea_n 9.10_o i_o see_v your_o father_n say_v god_n as_o the_o first_o ripe_a in_o the_o fig_n tree_n so_o likewise_o these_o godly_a person_n that_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n stamp_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v now_o tree_n of_o rightenousness_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n they_o be_v very_o delightful_a unto_o god_n god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o they_o psal_n 147.11_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o in_o those_o that_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n and_o by_o the_o way_n you_o may_v observe_v there_o a_o very_a sweet_a conjunction_n between_o fear_v god_n and_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o his_o mercy_n we_o must_v so_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o we_o still_o put_v our_o

that_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v take_v pleasure_n in_o any_o service_n that_o such_o poor_a worthless_a worm_n as_o we_o be_v can_v perform●●_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v pleasure_n in_o we_o or_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o uprightness_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n own_o spirit_n i●_n our_o heart_n and_o

according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o psalmist_n 104.31_o psal_n 104.31_o the_o lord_n rejoice_v in_o his_o own_o work_n that_o be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n that_o he_o have_v

for_o if_o thou_o look_v upon_o my_o work_n i_o shall_v be_v curse_v but_o if_o thou_o look_v upon_o thy_o own_o work_n i_o shall_v be_v crown_v god_n take_v delight_n in_o his_o own_o work_n he_o

when_o our_o bless_a saviour_n say_v express_o matth._n 19.17_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o one_o that_o be_v god_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a
