good_a tiding_n etc._n etc._n jesus_n christ_n himself_o as_o he_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n do_v our_o work_n and_o act_v in_o our_o nature_n so_o he_o do_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o

promise_v it_o long_o before_o this_o time_n so_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n christ_n have_v promise_v the_o spirit_n to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v late_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o new_a

and_o therefore_o this_o promise_n as_o it_o be_v the_o father_n so_o it_o be_v ancient_a and_o for_o the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o promise_n because_o it_o be_v most_o ancient_o the_o father_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n three_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n because_o of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o the_o give_v out_o of_o this_o promise_n for_o the_o time_n and_o season_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o father_n so_o christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n in_o this_o chapter_n but_o the_o father_n have_v keep_v they_o in_o his_o own_o power_n four_o the_o main_a reason_n be_v that_o hereby_o christ_n may_v strengthen_v and_o confirm_v the_o faith_n of_o his_o disciple_n and_o child_n in_o wait_v for_o this_o premise_v we_o have_v need_n of_o all_o that_o can_v be_v to_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o christ_n call_v it_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n the_o disciple_n may_v conceive_v o_o be_v the_o father_n willing_a we_o shall_v have_v the_o spirit_n we_o know_v how_o willing_a christ_n be_v he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v send_v we_o a_o comforter_n we_o be_v sure_o we_o shall_v want_v

it_o christ_n therefore_o entitle_v it_o rather_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n than_o his_o own_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v do_v not_o think_v poor_a soul_n that_o my_o father_n be_v

as_o full_a and_o as_o free_a as_o you_o can_v conceive_v i_o to_o be_v for_o its_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n quest_n 2._o but_o why_o do_v christ_n pitch_v the_o faith_n of_o his_o disciple_n now_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o ascension_n upon_o this_o promise_n rather_o than_o upon_o any_o other_o can_v he_o not_o bid_v they_o as_o well_o to_o wait_v for_o some_o other_o promise_v as_o for_o this_o ans_fw-fr 1._o because_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n so_o suitable_a unto_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n that_o the_o people_n of_o christ_n the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n his_o follower_n be_v now_o come_v into_o as_o this_o promise_n no_o promise_n be_v so_o suitable_a to_o a_o poor_a soul_n in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n absence_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n christ_n have_v be_v personal_o present_a with_o his_o disciple_n some_o time_n and_o he_o have_v comfort_v cheer_v warm_v and_o quicken_v they_o and_o when_o his_o personal_a

christ_n give_v they_o this_o promise_n as_o most_o suit_v they_o if_o any_o thing_n can_v hold_v they_o up_o against_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n now_o in_o his_o absence_n it_o will_v be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o suitable_a promise_n second_o because_o this_o promise_n it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o very_a nick_n of_o fulfil_a the_o promise_n be_v ancient_a but_o now_o the_o very_a time_n of_o fulfil_n of_o it_o be_v at_o hand_n the_o time_n of_o give_v out_o of_o more_o abundance_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v draw_v on_o now_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n with_o his_o child_n when_o the_o promise_n be_v upon_o the_o nick_n of_o fulfil_v then_o will_v god_n be_v put_v on_o his_o child_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n to_o be_v wait_v and_o seek_v and_o look_v up_o to_o he_o even_o for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o that_o promise_n therefore_o when_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n in_o

be_v even_o expire_v when_o god_n come_v to_o give_v forth_o his_o promise_n when_o the_o fulfil_a time_n be_v come_v than_o god_n put_v his_o people_n upon_o wait_v for_o it_o so_o afterward_o when_o jerusalem_n be_v to_o be_v build_v when_o the_o time_n of_o fulfil_v be_v come_v than_o the_o lord_n wonderful_o stirr'_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o nehemiah_n and_o he_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o

its_o such_o a_o argument_n as_o carry_v much_o weight_n in_o it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v put_v on_o in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n to_o wait_v upon_o

to_o we_o yet_o they_o be_v in_o the_o father_n power_n and_o they_o be_v all_o know_v to_o he_o and_o when_o they_o draw_v nigh_o god_n do_v usual_o make_v that_o work_n to_o run_v over_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n and_o set_v they_o a_o pray_v and_o seek_v and_o believe_v and_o wait_v for_o that_o work_n and_o it_o may_v be_v they_o can_v hardly_o tell_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v so_o put_v upon_o it_o but_o it_o come_v from_o a_o secret_a way_n of_o god_n dispensation_n towards_o his_o child_n when_o god_n see_v that_o the_o work_n be_v ripe_a and_o the_o thing_n be_v hear_v at_o hand_n that_o it_o may_v come_v when_o his_o child_n be_v in_o a_o wait_a posture_n he_o will_v forerun_v it_o over_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n ere_o he_o bring_v it_o visible_o forth_o before_o the_o world_n but_o though_o this_o be_v a_o real_a truth_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o special_a reason_n here_o why_o christ_n do_v put_v they_o to_o look_v for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o promise_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o but_o the_o chief_a reason_n i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o three_o because_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n that_o the_o saint_n and_o peaple_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n day_n be_v to_o have_v their_o eye_n fix_v upon_o and_o be_v to_o be_v find_v wait_v upon_o god_n continual_o for_o the_o give_v of_o it_o forth_o it_o be_v that_o great_a promise_n the_o saint_n be_v to_o be_v look_v up_o to_o the_o father_n for_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o saint_n have_v a_o great_a bundle_n of_o promise_n but_o there_o be_v one_o great_a
and_o lead_a promise_n that_o stand_v out_o before_o all_o the_o other_o promise_n and_o that_o be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o unto_o this_o promise_n all_o the_o type_n shadow_n ceremony_n and_o service_n of_o the_o law_n do_v look_v they_o run_v into_o this_o promise_n so_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v a_o great_a and_o lead_a promise_n also_o but_o this_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v no_o promise_n to_o they_o for_o it_o be_v accomplish_v christ_n have_v come_v and_o dye_v and_o be_v rise_v again_o and_o we_o look_v not_o for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o die_v any_o more_o to_o satisfy_v his_o father_n justice_n but_o now_o there_o be_v i_o say_v a_o great_a and_o lead_a promise_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o the_o saint_n fix_v their_o eye_n upon_o above_o all_o other_o promise_n and_o that_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n look_v chief_o to_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o messiah_n o_o when_o will_v our_o messiah_n come_v when_o will_v the_o redeemer_n come_v when_o will_v christ_n come_v why_o so_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v this_o as_o their_o great_a expectatior_fw-la o_o when_o will_v the_o spirit_n come_v when_o will_v the_o spirit_n come_v down_o more_o into_o
