by_o adam_n who_o depart_v by_o a_o natural_a death_n we_o be_v here_o to_o admire_v the_o dispensation_n of_o this_o great_a god_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o spirit_n which_o dictate_v the_o scripture_n these_o three_o man_n who_o god_n first_o withdraw_v from_o the_o world_n the_o diversity_n which_o be_v see_v in_o their_o go_v out_o and_o the_o order_n hold_v in_o it_o be_v a_o sample_n or_o epitome_n of_o that_o great_a piece_n which_o he_o will_v unfold_v all_o along_o the_o age_n and_o which_o be_v to_o be_v extend_v as_o far_o as_o the_o last_o man_n that_o shall_v be_v find_v live_v upon_o the_o earth_n why_o god_n who_o have_v foretell_v and_o set_v down_o the_o measure_n of_o certain_a particular_a time_n have_v not_o reveal_v how_o long_o the_o world_n shall_v endure_v or_o when_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v god_n at_o other_o time_n foretell_v how_o many_o veer_v space_n it_o shall_v be_v before_o the_o deluge_n gen._n 6.3_o how_o many_o year_n the_o slavery_n of_o the_o hebrew_n shall_v endure_v gen._n 15.13_o how_o many_o year_n there_o shall_v be_v of_o plenty_n and_o famine_n in_o the_o day_n of_o joseph_n gen._n 41.29.30_o how_o many_o year_n the_o jew_n shall_v remain_v in_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n jer._n 25.12_o and_o 29.10_o dan._n 9.2_o how_o many_o year_n shall_v pass_v to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n dan._n 9.24_o we_o know_v that_o some_o of_o these_o prediction_n have_v be_v give_v four_o hundred_o yea_o four_o hundred_o and_o ninety_o year_n before_o their_o time_n expire_v now_o there_o may_v be_v all_o the_o way_n compute_v from_o day_n to_o day_n how_o many_o year_n yet_o remain_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o time_n limit_v by_o those_o oracle_n yea_o god_n have_v not_o only_o give_v a_o account_n of_o year_n but_o sometime_o have_v punctual_o set_v down_o the_o very_a day_n on_o which_o a_o deliverance_n or_o other_o event_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v dan._n 12.11_o 12._o but_o neither_o the_o day_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n nor_o the_o year_n nor_o yet_o the_o age_n which_o be_v to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v ever_o set_v down_o in_o any_o prophecy_n whatsoever_o the_o curious_a can_v say_v against_o it_o now_o among_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o silence_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v this_o when_o god_n have_v foretell_v that_o such_o or_o such_o a_o notable_a event_n where_o the_o time_n can_v not_o be_v foresee_v by_o any_o humane_a wisdom_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o such_o a_o year_n or_o on_o such_o a_o day_n the_o principal_a scope_n of_o these_o prediction_n have_v be_v to_o confirm_v the_o faith_n of_o they_o which_o shall_v see_v they_o accomplish_v joh._n 13.19_o for_o they_o that_o live_v until_o that_o time_n and_o see_v the_o prophecy_n effect_v precise_o at_o the_o day_n name_v even_o against_o all_o appearance_n have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o reason_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v in_o so_o manifest_a a_o experience_n of_o his_o infallible_a truth_n and_o the_o same_o also_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convert_v unbeliever_n but_o at_o the_o last_o day_n it_o will_v not_o be_v the_o work_n to_o make_v provision_n any_o more_o for_o faith_n in_o regard_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v not_o will_v there_o be_v any_o more_o place_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o miscreant_n so_o that_o a_o revelation_n of_o that_o day_n can_v not_o serve_v for_o those_o end_n and_o use_n for_o the_o which_o god_n have_v reveal_v divers_a other_o day_n remarkable_a the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v not_o give_v we_o superfluous_a prediction_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o last_o day_n but_o not_o to_o know_v precise_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n four_o remarkable_a production_n which_o the_o scripture_n attribute_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n two_o in_o the_o creation_n two_o in_o the_o redemption_n among_o so_o many_o great_a and_o divers_a effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n mention_v particular_o these_o four_o production_n 1._o that_o of_o all_o the_o species_n which_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o element_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n gen._n 1.2_o 2._o that_o of_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o breath_n of_o god_n which_o make_v man_n a_o live_a soul_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o almighty_a gen._n 2.7_o job_n 33.4_o 3._o that_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o alone_o among_o all_o man_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n luke_n 1.35_o 4._o that_o of_o the_o new_a man_n for_o to_o become_v such_o it_o behove_v to_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o spirit_n joh._n 3.5_o 6._o why_o the_o scripture_n represent_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o effect_n under_o the_o name_n of_o water_n of_o fire_n of_o anoint_v with_o oil_n and_o of_o sprinkle_v of_o blood_n the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o these_o term_n contain_v in_o divers_a passage_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o of_o fire_n with_o which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v of_o the_o unction_n which_o we_o have_v from_o the_o holy_a one_o which_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o the_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v wrought_v also_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n joh._n 3.5_o matth._n 3.11_o 1_o joh._n 2.20_o 1_o pet._n 1.2_o so_o that_o the_o name_n of_o water_n of_o fire_n of_o anoint_v with_o oil_n and_o of_o sprinkle_v of_o blood_n be_v use_v to_o denote_v either_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o those_o act_n which_o he_o work_v in_o we_o now_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a for_o one_o of_o the_o vulgar_a to_o speak_v to_o this_o and_o to_o say_v they_o be_v similitude_n many_o commentatour_n and_o ordinary_a preacher_n content_v themselves_o to_o allege_v to_o we_o some_o resemblance_n between_o water_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o likewise_o some_o conformity_n and_o analogy_n between_o the_o fire_n which_o purify_v and_o consume_v and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o produce_v the_o like_a effect_n but_o there_o be_v other_o depth_n to_o sound_v it_o be_v requisite_a therefore_o to_o know_v that_o all_o the_o purification_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v figure_n of_o that_o purification_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v wrought_v either_o by_o water_n or_o by_o fire_n or_o by_o oil_n or_o by_o blood_n all_o thing_n which_o have_v need_n of_o cleanse_v be_v purify_v by_o one_o of_o these_o four_o mean_n 1._o by_o water_n as_o it_o be_v practise_v in_o divers_a occasion_n for_o we_o know_v that_o wash_n with_o water_n be_v very_o frequent_a under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o produce_v example_n 2._o by_o fire_n as_o when_o god_n command_v to_o purify_v the_o spoil_n which_o they_o have_v take_v from_o the_o midianite_n he_o ordain_v that_o all_o that_o which_o can_v endure_v the_o fire_n to_o wit_n gold_n silver_n brass_n iron_n tin_n lead_n shall_v be_v cleanse_v by_o fire_n num._n 31.22_o 23._o 3._o by_o oil_n as_o it_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o unction_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o that_o of_o the_o leprous_a leu._n 14.16_o 17_o 18._o 4._o by_o blood_n as_o it_o be_v notorious_a and_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o that_o almost_o all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o law_n be_v purge_v by_o blood_n heb._n 9.22_o now_o to_o show_v that_o all_o that_o which_o be_v require_v to_o a_o true_a purification_n all_o that_o which_o the_o law_n prescribe_v to_o those_o end_n be_v find_v universal_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o scripture_n represent_v it_o with_o its_o effect_n under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o all_o the_o act_n which_o serve_v to_o the_o legal_a purification_n i_o may_v speak_v of_o other_o thing_n concern_v this_o subject_n but_o they_o will_v come_v better_o to_o purpose_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n for_o which_o i_o reserve_v they_o a_o catalogue_n of_o those_o action_n which_o be_v celebrate_v with_o aspersion_n of_o blood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n all_o the_o law_n be_v write_v in_o blood_n the_o priest_n the_o people_n go_v not_o but_o through_o blood_n now_o to_o comprehend_v these_o so_o many_o different_a action_n in_o which_o blood_n intervene_v it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o purpose_n to_o distinguish_v they_o and_o reduce_v they_o into_o rank_n or_o category_n we_o find_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v seven_o kind_n of_o action_n solemnize_v by_o the_o aspersion_n of_o blood_n 1._o
