jesus_n christ_n chap._n 1._o vers_fw-la 1_o 2._o do_v import_n to_o i_o something_o more_o than_o what_o be_v in_o the_o outward_a visible_a event_n which_o every_o rational_a man_n who_o can_v read_v history_n and_o understand_v symbolical_a speech_n be_v able_a to_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o discern_v to_o be_v fulfil_v as_o they_o be_v foretell_v therefore_o although_o to_o manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n the_o event_n be_v very_o useful_a if_o not_o necessary_a to_o be_v look_v after_o yet_o i_o be_o clear_a that_o they_o be_v neither_o useful_a to_o we_o nor_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v but_o as_o they_o be_v subordinate_a unto_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o testimony_n of_o christ_n the_o knowledge_n and_o keep_n of_o which_o do_v give_v we_o a_o right_a unto_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o a_o entry_n through_o the_o gate_n into_o the_o city_n this_o then_o be_v the_o mystery_n which_o i_o look_v after_o viz._n to_o find_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o in_o humane_a society_n so_o advance_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v destroy_v therein_o and_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o israël_n do_v thereby_o effectual_o come_v out_o of_o zion_n to_o bring_v back_o the_o captivity_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o make_v the_o whole_a creâtion_n partaker_n of_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o to_o show_v unto_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o faith_n by_o what_o mean_n and_o way_n this_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o regenerate_v soul_n of_o man_n and_o by_o the_o state_n of_o regeneration_n in_o the_o outward_a society_n and_o profession_n of_o believer_n i_o conceiv_v the_o

of_o bare_a outward_a event_n we_o be_v not_o make_v capable_a of_o partake_v this_o mystery_n whereby_o christ_n be_v apprehend_v in_o his_o testimony_n do_v become_v in_o we_o the_o hope_n of_o

mystery_n of_o the_o vision_n be_v the_o discovery_n of_o parallel_n event_n by_o syncronism_n and_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o symbolical_a speech_n of_o the_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o

every_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o dispensation_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a
