reason_n why_o prophecy_n can_v be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n because_o it_o be_v of_o public_a inspiration_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v how_o strong_a a_o reason_n be_v this_o now_o see_v probation_n or_o proof_n make_v a_o discourse_n strong_a than_o amplification_n only_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n concern_v a_o word_n whether_o this_o or_o that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v prefer_v which_o make_v the_o sacred_a text_n more_o sinewy_a and_o strong_a and_o so_o do_v the_o word_n interpretation_n here_o and_o see_v there_o be_v so_o much_o for_o that_o word_n and_o nothing_o against_o it_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v acquiesce_v in_o by_o all_o as_o offer_v so_o great_a a_o truth_n that_o we_o ought_v as_o in_o hear_v so_o in_o preach_v to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o prophecy_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o ezra_n and_o the_o other_o levite_n and_o the_o people_n under_o they_o nehem._n 8._o 7._o they_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n and_o cause_v the_o people_n to_o understand_v the_o read_n or_o preach_v that_o be_v the_o inward_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o not_o only_o the_o syllabical_a read_n lose_v in_o babylon_n as_o some_o may_v suppose_v for_o that_o be_v beneath_o the_o holy_a spirit_n notice_n and_o thus_o ought_v prophetical_a scripture_n to_o be_v administer_v because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o private_a interpretation_n it_o and_o the_o time_n of_o it_o aught_o to_o be_v open_v and_o explain_v all_o and_o every_o part_n in_o all_o its_o divine_a sense_n but_o that_o further_a yet_o this_o point_n of_o interpretation_n may_v be_v settle_v and_o secure_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o high_o illustrate_v i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o clear_v that_o the_o grand_a importance_n of_o the_o context_n nay_o of_o this_o whole_a epistle_n be_v adjust_v and_o prepare_v to_o assure_v that_o prophecy_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o of_o a_o private_a interpretation_n in_o that_o great_a point_n of_o prophecy_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o time_n of_o it_o that_o mystery_n of_o god_n to_o be_v fulfil_v evangelize_v by_o all_o his_o prophet_n that_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o that_o kingdom_n speak_v of_o by_o all_o the_o prophet_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v now_o of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o time_n of_o it_o the_o apostle_n affirmation_n the_o prophecy_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o of_o any_o private_a interpretation_n when_o and_o in_o what_o they_o speak_v of_o it_o have_v the_o chief_a and_o most_o eminent_a place_n and_o therefore_o the_o discourse_n upon_o so_o great_a a_o scripture_n so_o level_v and_o prepare_v as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n for_o the_o justification_n of_o search_n into_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o what_o ot_fw-mi what_o manner_n of_o time_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v signify_v be_v indeed_o a_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la for_o interpretation_n of_o it_o now_o then_o the_o occasion_n of_o all_o the_o context_n be_v the_o mention_n of_o the_o abundant_a entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o a_o everlasting_a kingdom_n now_o of_o this_o kingdom_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a state_n that_o which_o be_v now_o at_o present_a and_o by_o way_n of_o preparation_n or_o the_o ministration_n of_o a_o entrance_n and_o concern_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o present_a truth_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o future_a state_n and_o glory_n of_o that_o kingdom_n which_o be_v that_o everlasting_a kingdom_n and_o to_o which_o this_o present_a kingdom_n of_o grace_n minister_n a_o entrance_n and_o of_o this_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o will_v not_o be_v negligent_a to_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n upon_o this_o basis_n or_o foundation_n lay_v then_o i_o will_v first_o give_v great_a argument_n that_o through_o the_o whole_a epistle_n and_o particular_o in_o this_o context_n the_o apostle_n have_v very_o great_a relation_n to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o most_o particular_o to_o the_o time_n of_o it_o 2._o that_o the_o context_n have_v so_o great_a relation_n to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o particular_o to_o the_o time_n of_o it_o also_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n the_o apostle_n shall_v speak_v concern_v the_o interpretation_n of_o prophecy_n as_o the_o principal_a point_n and_o that_o inspiration_n shall_v attend_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o first_o part_n i_o will_v give_v argument_n first_o that_o the_o kingdom_n be_v intend_v and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n for_o the_o time_n as_o intend_v also_o argument_n 1._o that_o which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v most_o manifest_a that_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n discourse_v before_o make_v haste_n and_o to_o which_o the_o whole_a epistle_n after_o issue_n have_v immediate_a relation_n to_o this_o context_n for_o the_o connexion_n and_o coherence_n be_v so_o close_a and_o strict_a that_o there_o be_v no_o divide_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o as_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o follow_a particular_n for_o 2._o the_o apostle_n give_v notice_n what_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v regard_n to_o when_o he_o style_n it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o kingdom_n promise_v in_o daniel_n the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n as_o it_o be_v there_o style_v c._n 7._o a_o everlasting_a dominion_n and_o a_o kingdom_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v 3._o in_o that_o so_o emphatical_o he_o give_v the_o title_n of_o saviour_n to_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n join_v the_o appearance_n of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n together_o for_o therein_o above_o all_o christ_n be_v see_v and_o will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o saviour_n restore_a all_o that_o be_v ruin_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n 4._o the_o great_a care_n the_o apostle_n express_v they_o shall_v have_v that_o kingdom_n in_o remembrance_n although_o they_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o present_a truth_n that_o minister_n but_o a_o entrance_n into_o that_o kingdam_n as_o be_v intimate_v before_o 5._o the_o apostle_n as_o the_o new-testament_n general_o do_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n his_o come_n remember_v the_o admonition_n christ_n give_v he_o of_o hss_n die_v or_o put_v off_o that_o tabernacle_n before_o he_o shall_v so_o come_v whereas_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o expectation_n of_o that_o kingdom_n immediate_o as_o they_o say_v will_v thou_o at_o this_o time_n restore_v the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n 6._o the_o apostle_n give_v so_o full_a a_o representation_n of_o the_o transfiguration_n which_o be_v itself_o a_o admirable_a landscape_n and_o a_o model_n of_o i●_n give_v it_o on_o purpose_n to_o foreshow_v it_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o give_v it_o in_o term_n most_o expressive_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n v._o 16._o to_o v._o 19_o 1._o it_o be_v call_v the_o power_n and_o come_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o word_n masesty_n import_v royal_a greatness_n v._o 16._o 2._o the_o solemn_a inauguration_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o voice_n from_o the_o excellent_a glory_n this_o be_v the_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v like_v unto_o that_o other_o so_o great_a declaration_n of_o he_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o when_o he_o set_v his_o kingdom_n on_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n v._o 18._o 3._o as_o the_o new-jerusalem_n the_o palace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o exceed_a high_a and_o holy_a mountain_n so_o all_o this_o glory_n be_v on_o the_o holy_a mountain_n 4._o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o apprehensive_a it_o may_v be_v suspect_v to_o be_v a_o cunning_o devise_v table_n which_o caution_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v indeed_o a_o great_a key_n of_o this_o whole_a discourse_n and_o will_v lead_v we_o into_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o context_n as_o shall_v appear_v after_o 5._o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n pass_v so_o immediate_o from_o the_o transfiguration_n to_o the_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n and_o to_o prophesy_v shine_v as_o a_o light_n in_o a_o dark_a place_n by_o which_o two_o character_n put_v together_o it_o manifest_o appear_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n intend_v be_v neither_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n the_o gospel_n of_o grace_n as_o we_o general_o speak_v nor_o the_o kingdom_n of_o eternity_n not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n because_o not_o only_a prophecy_n look_v to_o thing_n to_o come_v if_o still_o in_o prophecy_n and_o to_o be_v fulfil_v but_o also_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v suppose_v that_o prophecy_n shine_v in_o that_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o apostle_n so_o illustrious_a ministry_n that_o can_v be_v by_o no_o mean_n call_v a_o dark_a or_o squalid_a or_o foul_a place_n for_o it_o be_v the_o glorious_a state_n of_o the_o
