2.22_o reveal_v the_o deep_a and_o secret_a thing_n and_o do_v communicate_v his_o will_n so_o that_o the_o person_n conceive_v and_o think_v and_o act_n as_o the_o divine_a power_n will_v have_v he_o conceive_v think_v and_o act_n it_o be_v here_o as_o with_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n which_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o vital_a motion_n for_o though_o the_o body_n be_v in_o its_o contrivance_n admirable_o adapt_v for_o all_o office_n to_o which_o the_o organ_n of_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v if_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n in_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n that_o must_v make_v the_o eye_n to_o see_v and_o the_o foot_n to_o move_v and_o the_o tongue_n to_o speak_v or_o else_o there_o will_v be_v no_o sight_n motion_n nor_o speech_n so_o it_o be_v here_o in_o divine_a inspiration_n of_o this_o sort_n where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n what_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n and_o must_v make_v all_o those_o impression_n upon_o it_o must_v infuse_v the_o power_n of_o conceive_v and_o think_v or_o rather_o those_o conception_n and_o thought_n those_o notion_n and_o idea_n of_o thing_n nay_o that_o matter_n so_o that_o the_o person_n inspire_a do_v not_o think_v his_o own_o thought_n nor_o order_v his_o own_o conception_n nor_o form_v his_o own_o notion_n nor_o use_v his_o own_o word_n where_o these_o be_v inspire_v as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v inspire_v not_o that_o his_o reason_n be_v not_o in_o operation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o rapture_n vision_n and_o dream_n where_o the_o rational_a power_n be_v bind_v up_o as_o it_o be_v by_o sleep_n for_o the_o present_a but_o that_o these_o infusion_n proceed_v not_o from_o any_o reason_v in_o themselves_o but_o from_o a_o external_n and_o supernatural_a cause_n it_o be_v by_o that_o cause_n determine_v to_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v inspire_v as_o a_o prompter_n do_v suggest_v the_o matter_n or_o dictate_v the_o word_n to_o the_o interpreter_n he_o make_v use_v of_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v the_o word_n or_o thought_n of_o the_o interpreter_n but_o of_o the_o suggester_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o deliver_v you_o up_o take_v no_o thought_n how_o or_o what_o you_o shall_v speak_v for_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v you_o in_o that_o same_o hour_n what_o you_o shall_v speak_v for_o it_o be_v not_o you_o that_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n which_o speak_v in_o you_o matth._n 10.19_o 10._o now_o as_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v in_o they_o that_o do_v in_o that_o case_n dictate_v and_o guide_v they_o in_o all_o they_o say_v so_o that_o they_o speak_v with_o such_o authority_n and_o ability_n such_o wisdom_n and_o elocution_n without_o any_o premeditation_n as_o all_o their_o adversary_n be_v not_o able_a to_o gainsay_v or_o resist_v luke_n 21.15_o as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o instance_n of_o st._n stephen_n act_v 6.10_o so_o it_o be_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n do_v breathe_v upon_o the_o mind_n as_o our_o saviour_n on_o the_o apostle_n in_o a_o external_a way_n the_o signification_n of_o the_o internal_a john_n 20.22_o in_o a_o way_n imperceptible_a and_o do_v so_o insinuate_v itself_o that_o it_o become_v as_o it_o be_v one_o spirit_n with_o they_o and_o they_o think_v as_o the_o spirit_n dispose_v they_o to_o think_v as_o well_o as_o speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n act_n 2.4_o this_o be_v think_v and_o speak_v by_o inspiration_n 26._o and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o eminent_a way_n of_o god_n communicate_v his_o will_n to_o mankind_n 1.12_o be_v call_v revelation_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n especial_o it_o be_v immediate_a 2.10_o without_o the_o intervention_n of_o vision_n or_o ecstasy_n or_o voice_n 6._o or_o any_o other_o mean_n than_o itself_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n receive_v their_o revelation_n 4.8_o call_v a_o reveal_n by_o the_o spirit_n 2._o another_o way_n by_o which_o god_n reveal_v himself_o be_v vision_n or_o sight_n this_o be_v so_o common_a that_o all_o the_o way_n of_o revelation_n be_v sometime_o set_v forth_o by_o this_o term_n a_o vision_n be_v the_o representation_n of_o a_o object_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n which_o place_n the_o visage_n before_o we_o and_o by_o which_o we_o have_v as_o clear_v a_o view_n of_o the_o thing_n thus_o represent_v as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o not_o the_o image_n or_o appearance_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o though_o the_o external_a sense_n be_v herein_o bind_v up_o and_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v asleep_a in_o a_o trance_n yet_o the_o thing_n present_v at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o imagination_n and_o intend_v as_o a_o revelation_n of_o something_o to_o happen_v or_o to_o be_v do_v be_v as_o plain_a and_o evident_a as_o sensible_a object_n that_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o sense_n thus_o balaam_n describe_v it_o as_o to_o himself_o who_o see_v the_o vision_n of_o the_o almighty_a fall_v into_o a_o trance_n but_o have_v his_o eye_n open_a numb_a 24.16_o that_o be_v though_o he_o have_v not_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o outward_a sense_n and_o so_o his_o eye_n be_v of_o no_o more_o use_n to_o he_o when_o open_a than_o if_o they_o be_v shut_v yet_o he_o evident_o see_v whatever_o be_v present_v to_o his_o mind_n 18._o thus_o st._n paul_n as_o clear_o see_v our_o saviour_n by_o a_o representation_n or_o vision_n when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o trance_n in_o the_o temple_n 26.13_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o actual_o and_o visible_o appear_v to_o he_o at_o midday_n on_o the_o way_n to_o damascus_n 15.8_o in_o this_o case_n thing_n imaginary_a be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v real_a remote_a as_o if_o they_o be_v near_o future_a as_o if_o present_a and_o secret_a as_o if_o open_a that_o be_v what_o sight_n presence_n and_o knowledge_n be_v to_o we_o in_o thing_n sensible_a when_o we_o be_v awake_a and_o have_v the_o full_a exercise_n of_o our_o outward_a sense_n that_o be_v vision_n to_o the_o visionary_n to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o a_o ecstasy_n this_o will_v be_v far_o illustrate_v by_o a_o reflection_n upon_o these_o several_a particular_n to_o which_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o all_o the_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n may_v be_v reduce_v as_o 1._o in_o vision_n thing_n imaginary_a and_o internal_a be_v represent_v as_o evident_o as_o if_o they_o be_v real_a and_o external_a thus_o much_o be_v intimate_v in_o the_o case_n of_o st._n peter_n 12.9_o of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v when_o the_o angel_n smite_v he_o and_o the_o chain_n fall_v off_o from_o his_o hand_n he_o wist_v not_o that_o it_o be_v true_a which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o angel_n but_o think_v be_v see_v a_o vision_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o this_o which_o he_o find_v to_o be_v real_a when_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o may_v have_v be_v represent_v by_o way_n of_o vision_n and_o thing_n thereby_o represent_v be_v as_o evident_o propose_v to_o the_o mind_n as_o outward_a object_n can_v be_v to_o the_o eye_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o same_o apostle_n when_o he_o fall_v into_o a_o trance_n and_o see_v heaven_n open_v and_o a_o certain_a vessel_n descend_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sheet_n knit_v at_o the_o four_o corner_n and_o let_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n wherein_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o fourfooted_a beast_n of_o the_o earth_n etc._n etc._n act_v 10.10_o etc._n etc._n of_o this_o kind_n of_o vision_n 25.15_o be_v jeremiah_n wear_v a_o linen_n girdle_n and_o his_o hide_v it_o afterward_o in_o a_o hole_n by_o euphrates_n and_o his_o take_v a_o cup_n of_o fury_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n and_o cause_v all_o nation_n to_o drink_v of_o it_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v ezekiel_n eat_v of_o the_o roll_n etc._n his_o typical_a lay_v siege_n to_o jerusalem_n and_o a_o hundred_o thing_n more_o in_o that_o and_o other_o prophetical_a book_n in_o which_o case_n when_o the_o thing_n represent_v be_v whole_o imaginary_a and_o never_o existent_a what_o be_v in_o phrase_n positive_o say_v of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v supply_v with_o as_o it_o be_v as_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a vision_n of_o st._n peter_n when_o it_o be_v say_v peter_n see_v heaven_n open_v and_o a_o sheet_n descend_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n real_o do_v but_o only_o by_o representation_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o he_o as_o it_o be_v see_v heaven_n open_v 2._o in_o vision_n thing_n remote_a be_v represent_v as_o present_v and_o the_o visionary_n have_v all_o the_o advantage_n of_o sight_n in_o thing_n present_v to_o the_o eye_n without_o the_o use_n of_o sight_n etc._n or_o change_v of_o place_n so_o ezekiel_n when_o a_o captive_a in_o
