be_v a_o man_n as_o may_v be_v guess_v by_o his_o writing_n of_o a_o very_a shallow_a wit_n yet_o be_v he_o the_o author_n of_o the_o like_a error_n to_o most_o ecclesiastical_a man_n who_o cite_v

to_o mean_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n his_o powerful_a spirit_n so_o indeed_o sometime_o run_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o hebrew_n stile_n as_o in_o that_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n joh._n 14._o 6._o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o question_n that_o occasion_v it_o seem_v to_o call_v it_o to_o such_o a_o sense_n i_o be_o the_o true_a

elias_n have_v a_o double_a power_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o they_o to_o foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v and_o to_o work_v miracle_n so_o have_v john_n the_o first_o prophet_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o

miracle_n upon_o body_n but_o he_o be_v miraculous_o powerful_a upon_o soul_n now_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o compare_v elias_n and_o the_o baptist_n there_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o agree_v in_o many_o parallel_n as_o that_o they_o both_o come_v in_o very_o corrupt_a time_n that_o they_o both_o restore_v religion_n very_o much_o in_o that_o corruption_n that_o they_o be_v both_o persecute_v exceed_o for_o that_o restore_n elias_n by_o ahab_n and_o jezabell_n and_o john_n by_o herod_n and_o herodias_n and_o divers_a other_o agreement_n upon_o which_o not_o to_o insist_v because_o they_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o eye_n observ._n this_o collection_n may_v we_o take_v up_o from_o the_o word_n in_o hand_n that_o elias_n be_v a_o proper_a and_o pregnant_a pattern_n for_o reformer_n as_o when_o moses_n be_v make_v the_o sanctuary_n and_o the_o appurtenance_n 5._o god_n often_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o make_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n which_o be_v show_v he_o in_o

will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o by_o some_o pattern_n from_o the_o mount_n a_o man_n that_o in_o the_o text_n be_v a_o copy_n to_o john_n the_o baptist_n in_o his_o reform_n and_o a_o man_n that_o in_o
