effect_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o apostle_n peter_n tell_v we_o 2_o petr._n 1._o 20._o that_o we_o must_v not_o

the_o particular_a occasion_n and_o circumstance_n of_o time_n of_o place_n and_o of_o person_n in_o by_z and_o to_o who_o they_o be_v at_o first_o utter_v and_o the_o ground_n why_o they_o may_v not_o be_v so_o take_v but_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o more_o public_a common_a and_o general_a sens_fw-fr be_v give_v by_o the_o apostle_n vers_fw-la 21._o because_o say_v he_o the_o prophecy_n come_v not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o any_o particular_a choice_n or_o inclination_n of_o humane_a reason_n which_o bring_v forth_o the_o prophetical_a that_o be_v the_o scriptural_a word_n but_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a spirit_n who_o wisdom_n be_v above_o all_o private_a concernment_n and_o do_v penetrate_v through_o all_o be_v from_o the_o centre_n to_o the_o circumference_n do_v put_v word_n in_o their_o mouth_n which_o they_o do_v utter_v and_o therefore_o these_o word_n must_v be_v understand_v as_o universal_o and_o abstract_o from_o particular_a concernment_n as_o they_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o spirit_n who_o deliver_v they_o unto_o the_o prophet_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o a_o law_n be_v give_v for_o ox_n that_o do_v tread_v out_o the_o corn_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v muzzele_v the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 9_o 9_o 10._o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v not_o to_o take_v care_n for_o ox_n but_o that_o this_o be_v say_v for_o man_n sake_n so_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 4._o vers_fw-la 21._o till_o the_o end_n do_v according_a to_o

these_o rule_n in_o their_o use_n be_v complicate_v and_o become_v one_o prospective_n of_o the_o sens_fw-fr although_o their_o notion_n be_v thus_o distinguish_v therefore_o in_o their_o application_n to_o the_o scripture_n if_o they_o do_v not_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n together_o we_o shall_v never_o reach_v the_o since_o thereof_o nor_o be_v able_a to_o divide_v the_o word_n

have_v thereof_o together_o with_o the_o presumptuous_a rashness_n and_o confidence_n by_o which_o we_o be_v hurry_v to_o determine_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o our_o own_o self-conceited_a

here_o again_o if_o i_o shall_v enter_v upon_o this_o subject_a to_o show_v how_o a_o demonstrative_a scriptural_a anaysis_n by_o the_o spiritual_a use_n of_o right_a reason_n be_v atteinable_a and_o will_v be_v the_o only_a way_n next_o to_o the_o gracious_a and_o immediate_a illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n write_v the_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n to_o compose_v our_o controversy_n to_o end_v our_o needless_a and_o sinful_a way_n of_o dispute_v and_o to_o banish_v out_o of_o christ_n church_n the_o high_a conceit_n of_o our_o doctoral_a school-divinity_n if_o i_o say_v i_o shall_v enter_v upon_o these_o thought_n you_o see_v that_o not_o a_o treatise_n only_o but_o a_o volume_n shall_v be_v write_v thereof_o to_o do_v it_o satisfactory_o but_o i_o be_o resolve_v not_o to_o ingulf_n myself_o beyond_o the_o scope_n of_o this_o present_a discourse_n which_o tend_v only_o to_o point_n at_o matter_n that_o you_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o think_v upon_o they_o by_o yourself_o therefore_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o find_n of_o the_o universal_a key_n of_o all_o prophetical_a mystery_n as_o they_o be_v rational_o discoverable_a in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o above_o this_o though_o not_o without_o it_o there_o be_v a_o near_a prospect_n to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o mystery_n in_o the_o spirit_n which_o without_o such_o a_o disquirie_n do_v lead_v we_o thereinto_o this_o near_a prospect_n be_v the_o inward_a testimony_n of_o jesus_n in_o who_o as_o in_o the_o fountain_n be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o of_o knowledge_n and_o who_o be_v to_o all_o that_o believ_n in_o he_o the_o immediate_a wisdom_n and_o the_o power_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o angel_n who_o bring_v the_o great_a vision_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o lamb_n unto_o john_n who_o thereat_o be_v so_o ravish_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o have_v worship_v the_o angel_n put_v his_o he_o in_o mind_n to_o take_v he_o off_o from_o give_v he_o any_o

must_v be_v note_v that_o although_o they_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o this_o near_a way_n for_o some_o special_a fit_n nevertheless_o they_o shall_v still_o be_v lead_v so_o as_o that_o their_o

29_o 30_o 31_o 32._o here_o then_o to_o come_v near_o by_o the_o address_n of_o these_o rule_n to_o the_o prospect_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o it_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o

the_o lamblike_a state_n of_o christianity_n a_o long_a while_n after_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o protestant_n may_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o fall_v prophet_n be_v entangle_v

be_v upright_o in_o heart_n rank_v themselves_o under_o it_o and_o make_v use_v of_o the_o weapon_n of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o armour_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o end_n for_o which_o christ_n

the_o spirit_n of_o man_n than_o now_o be_v upon_o their_o outward_a estate_n god_n have_v hitherto_o be_v shake_v the_o earth_n to_o some_o purpose_n but_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v also_o
