thing_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o be_v seal_v to_o we_o this_o day_n and_o it_o be_v the_o purchase_n of_o the_o blood_n where_o of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o open_v it_o and_o 〈…〉_z hen_n his_o time_n come_v it_o shall_v be_v open_v to_o we_o i_o have_v call_v my_o son_n out_o of_o egypt_n interpreter_n i_o do_v find_v do_v much_o weary_a and_o tire_v themselves_o and_o the_o reader_n about_o this_o point_n and_o those_o that_o will_v search_v into_o interpreter_n about_o the_o aptness_n of_o this_o quotation_n may_v quick_o spend_v day_n in_o it_o i_o find_v the_o opinion_n reduce_v to_o these_o three_o head_n some_o think_v that_o matthew_n quote_v this_o but_o only_o by_o way_n matthew_n of_o allusion_n and_o similitude_n that_o there_o be_v a_o similitude_n between_o christ_n go_v to_o egypt_n and_o return_v as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n go_v to_o egypt_n and_o return_v but_o that_o be_v a_o fridge_v and_o a_o poor_a weak_a interpretation_n and_o against_o what_o be_v say_v in_o matthew_n which_o say_v it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v but_o the_o second_o have_v more_o in_o it_o which_o be_v of_o junius_n 9_o that_o learned_a man_n he_o think_v that_o the_o very_a literal_a sense_n of_o the_o place_n be_v rather_o a_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n go_v into_o egypt_n and_o return_v again_o than_o of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n go_v into_o egypt_n and_o return_v again_o so_o he_o say_v in_o his_o parallel_n in_o his_o 6_o of_o the_o first_o book_n it_o be_v say_v he_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v i_o have_v threaten_v that_o i_o will_v utter_o destroy_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n what_o shall_v i_o whole_o destroy_v israel_n therefore_o no_o no_o i_o will_v not_o do_v that_o for_o my_o son_n sake_n for_o though_o israel_n be_v unworthy_a and_o receive_v not_o my_o son_n and_o by_o my_o son_n go_v into_o egypt_n it_o be_v declare_v that_o they_o be_v unworthy_a of_o he_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v my_o son_n come_v among_o they_o again_o yet_o he_o shall_v come_v among_o they_o again_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v a_o evidence_n to_o they_o that_o i_o will_v not_o cast_v off_o my_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a spiritual_a and_o good_a interpretation_n and_o we_o find_v often_o that_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o do_v promise_v mercy_n to_o his_o people_n and_o will_v give_v a_o evidence_n that_o he_o will_v not_o destroy_v they_o he_o will_v give_v a_o promise_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o isa_n 9_o 6._o unto_o we_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v unto_o we_o a_o son_n be_v give_v 6._o he_o seal_v the_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v off_o his_o people_n by_o promise_v the_o messiah_n so_o junius_n think_v that_o the_o lord_n here_o do_v seal_v this_o promise_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o he_o will_v not_o utter_o cut_v off_o his_o own_o people_n why_o because_o he_o will_v call_v his_o son_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v think_v that_o it_o will_v full_o satisfy_v but_o prefer_v i_o will_v give_v you_o that_o which_o may_v more_o clear_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o this_o scripture_n in_o hosea_n it_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v typical_a not_o only_o to_o show_v it_o what_o be_v past_a that_o god_n do_v indeed_o call_v his_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o what_o god_n do_v intend_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v as_o to_o give_v you_o other_o instance_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v speak_v literal_o of_o some_o other_o thing_n and_o yet_o apparent_o be_v mean_v typical_o of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o in_o exodus_fw-la 12._o 46._o compare_v with_o john_n 19_o 26._o in_o exodus_fw-la compare_v it_o be_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o pass-ove_a where_o god_n say_v not_o a_o bone_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v break_v now_o in_o john_n 19_o 36._o it_o be_v say_v when_o as_o the_o soldier_n come_v to_o break_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o two_o thief_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n through_o a_o providence_n they_o find_v that_o christ_n be_v dead_a and_o so_o they_o break_v not_o christ_n bone_n one_o will_v think_v now_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a accidental_a thing_n but_o yet_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v there_o it_o be_v for_o the_o folfil_n of_o that_o prophecy_n that_o not_o a_o bone_n shall_v be_v break_v thus_o you_o see_v thing_n that_o providene_a be_v very_o accidental_a yet_o god_n have_v a_o special_a work_n in_o they_o god_n intend_v great_a thing_n by_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o little_a moment_n in_o our_o eye_n what_o more_o light_a thing_n than_o that_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o break_v the_o bone_n of_o christ_n small_a though_o mean_v clear_o at_o first_o &_o literal_o concern_v the_o paschal_n lamb_n yet_o typical_o concern_v jesus_n christ_n compare_v two_o other_o scripture_n together_o in_o 2_o sam._n 7._o 14._o with_o heb._n 1._o 5._o in_o sam._n it_o be_v apparent_o speak_v concern_v also_o solomon_n i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n but_o now_o the_o apostle_n in_o heb._n 1._o 5._o he_o speak_v of_o christ_n there_o clear_o and_o say_v to_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n bath_n he_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o and_o again_o say_v he_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n and_o i_o will_v be_v a_o father_n to_o he_o it_o be_v mean_v first_o of_o solomon_n and_o typical_o mean_v of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n go_v into_o egypt_n and_o turn_v back_o again_o be_v mean_v literal_o of_o israel_n but_o god_n mean_v to_o prophesy_v what_o will_v be_v do_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o egypt_n and_o return_v back_o again_o and_o indeed_o god_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n he_o work_n do_v in_o all_o his_o work_n some_o way_n or_o other_o they_o have_v reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o indeed_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n for_o his_o people_n carry_v they_o to_o egypt_n and_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o but_o god_n do_v not_o intend_v that_o so_o much_o but_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o take_v this_o note_n that_o it_o will_v be_v one_o great_a part_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o see_v how_o glory_n god_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o his_o great_a work_n in_o the_o world_n now_o we_o look_v upon_o such_o a_o work_n and_o such_o a_o work_n to_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o such_o a_o business_n but_o we_o do_v not_o see_v the_o reference_n that_o it_o have_v to_o

his_o son_n for_o the_o magnify_v the_o great_a work_n of_o his_o son_n and_o such_o who_o have_v a_o special_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o those_o time_n do_v understand_v god_n

express_v it_o thus_o as_o it_o be_v with_o jonathan_n when_o he_o carry_v his_o bow_n and_o arrow_n into_o the_o field_n similitude_n to_o give_v david_n a_o note_n whether_o he_o shall_v fly_v away_o for_o fear_n of_o saul_n or_o return_v back_o again_o now_o when_o jonathan_n shoot_v his_o arrow_n he_o say_v unto_o his_o youth_n it_o be_v beyond_o and_o on_o this_o side_n now_o the_o youth_n know_v no_o more_o but_o thus_o that_o he_o be_v to_o look_v at_o the_o arrow_n yea_o but_o say_v he_o david_n know_v more_o that_o when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v beyond_o he_o than_o he_o

of_o thing_n those_o who_o know_v but_o mere_o the_o letter_n they_o be_v but_o like_o jonathans_n youth_n that_o do_v but_o only_o according_a to_o what_o jonathan_n say_v but_o david_n he_o know_v

as_o we_o intimate_v before_o that_o god_n do_v for_o jacob_n that_o ever_o he_o do_v to_o man_n therefore_o god_n will_v bring_v he_o very_o low_a before_o he_o will_v raise_v he_o so_o high_a and_o

shall_v have_v mercy_n therefore_o when_o man_n heart_n be_v high_a and_o lofty_a stout_a and_o hard_a they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n but_o when_o man_n heart_n begin_v

break_v with_o tear_n before_o god_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o man_n of_o a_o brave_a spirit_n strong_a and_o full_o of_o courage_n in_o any_o service_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n to_o have_v a_o melt_a tender_a and_o soft_a spirit_n in_o his_o deal_n with_o god_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v now_o a_o great_a captain_n or_o

to_o prayer_n but_o to_o weep_v before_o the_o lord_n some_o man_n think_v it_o be_v too_o low_a a_o thing_n to_o fall_v a_o weep_n in_o prayer_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o womanish_a and_o a_o
