his_o eternal_a generation_n in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n have_v now_o cast_v a_o cloud_n of_o a_o temporary_a and_o earthly_a generation_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o his_o mother_n that_o man_n

and_o strangle_v their_o spirit_n in_o their_o bosom_n and_o yet_o that_o unsmotherable_a that_o unquenchable_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n by_o which_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n that_o still_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n these_o thorn_n and_o yet_o these_o crown_n these_o contumely_n and_o yet_o this_o purple_a be_v the_o two_o part_n of_o this_o text_n i_o be_o the_o man_n that_o have_v see_v

that_o he_o be_v still_o a_o man_n god_n preserve_v his_o child_n from_o depart_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o man_n and_o from_o the_o sovereign_a dignity_n of_o christian_a man_n in_o the_o deluge_n

those_o scorn_n and_o cross_n he_o have_v his_o crown_n his_o purple_n ensign_n of_o majesty_n upon_o he_o may_v well_o be_v part_n of_o this_o text_n for_o when_o we_o come_v to_o consider_v who_o be_v the_o person_n of_o who_o jeremy_n say_v i_o be_o the_o man_n we_o find_v many_o of_o the_o ancient_a expositor_n take_v these_o word_n prophetical_o of_o christ_n himself_o and_o that_o christ_n himself_o who_o say_v 12._o behold_v and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o sorrow_n like_v unto_o my_o sorrow_n say_v here_o also_o i_o be_o the_o man_n that_o have_v see_v affliction_n by_o the_o rod_n of_o his_o wrath_n but_o because_o there_o be_v some_o other_o passage_n in_o the_o chapter_n that_o be_v not_o convenient_o appliable_a to_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o christ_n will_v say_v of_o himself_o 8._o that_o his_o father_n shut_v out_o his_o prayer_n even_o then_o when_o he_o cry_v and_o shout_v 10._o not_o likely_a that_o christ_n will_v say_v of_o himself_o that_o his_o father_n be_v to_o he_o as_o a_o bear_n in_o the_o way_n and_o as_o a_o lion_n in_o secret_a place_n 17._o not_o likely_a that_o christ_n will_v say_v of_o himself_o that_o his_o father_n have_v remove_v his_o soul_n far_o from_o peace_n therefore_o this_o chapter_n and_o this_o person_n can_v be_v so_o well_o understand_v of_o christ._n other_o therefore_o have_v understand_v if_o of_o

where_o we_o can_v it_o become_v it_o behoove_v we_o to_o maintain_v a_o literal_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o all_o scripture_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v best_o do_v in_o this_o place_n if_o
