saul_n be_v give_v in_o wrath_n and_o reject_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o saul_n and_o the_o reckon_n be_v not_o from_o saul_n but_o it_o be_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o david_n and_o the_o reckon_n be_v from_o david_n so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o most_o eminent_a and_o a_o know_a person_n in_o israel_n of_o great_a repute_n in_o israel_n 2_o chron._n 13.5_o ought_v you_o not_o to_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n give_v the_o kingdom_n over_o israel_n to_o david_n our_o father_n for_o ever_o even_o to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o son_n by_o a_o covenant_n of_o salt_n god_n give_v the_o kingdom_n to_o david_n and_o david_n be_v the_o most_o eminent_a king_n and_o the_o founder_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n therefore_o here_o david_n be_v rather_o mention_v he_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o david_n the_o founder_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n 2_o david_n be_v the_o most_o lively_a type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o any_o in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v name_v the_o offspring_n of_o david_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o david_n be_v belove_v of_o god_n so_o his_o name_n signify_v and_o david_n you_o know_v slay_v the_o bear_n and_o the_o lion_n and_o reserve_v the_o sheep_n and_o the_o lamb_n from_o they_o david_n kill_v goliath_n and_o free_v the_o whole_a

endure_v great_a affliction_n after_o he_o be_v anoint_v king_n for_o many_o year_n together_o before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n and_o to_o the_o kingdom_n david_n likewise_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o psal_n 22._o be_v a_o psalm_n wherein_o david_n be_v set_v out_o full_o to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n all_o along_o that_o psalm_n so_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o belove_a of_o god_n and_o christ_n he_o deliver_v the_o lamb_n from_o the_o bear_n and_o the_o lion_n christ_n he_o slay_v goliath_n he_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a the_o lord_n christ_n obtain_v great_a victory_n over_o the_o world_n sin_n and_o satan_n and_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n the_o lord_n christ_n bring_v back_o the_o ark_n the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o hide_v he_o bring_v immortality_n and_o life_n to_o light_v again_o the_o lord_n endure_v here_o in_o this_o world_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o misery_n before_o he_o come_v to_o glory_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o david_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o 3_o but_o last_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o the_o prophecy_n be_v that_o messiah_n shall_v be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n god_n have_v promise_v david_n that_o out_o of_o his_o loin_n christ_n shall_v come_v 2_o sam._n 7.15_o but_o my_o mercy_n shall_v not_o depart_v away_o from_o he_o as_o i_o take_v it_o from_o saul_n who_o i_o put_v away_o before_o thou_o and_o thy_o house_n and_o thy_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v establish_v for_o ever_o before_o thou_o thy_o throne_n shall_v be_v establish_v for_o ever_o mark_v god_n promise_v he_o a_o throne_n that_o shall_v be_v establish_v for_o ever_o he_o must_v have_v a_o seed_n then_o and_o that_o god_n swear_v unto_o he_o concern_v it_o psal_n 89.35_o 36._o once_o have_v i_o swear_v by_o my_o holiness_n that_o i_o will_v not_o lie_v unto_o david_n his_o seed_n shall_v endure_v for_o ever_o and_o his_o throne_n as_o the_o sun_n before_o i_o this_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n the_o seed_n and_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n messiah_n shall_v come_v now_o though_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o his_o seed_n and_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n yet_o david_n be_v put_v first_o because_o the_o promise_n be_v late_a make_v to_o david_n than_o to_o abraham_n therefore_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v upon_o that_o promise_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o hence_o you_o find_v that_o it_o be_v ordinary_a and_o common_a in_o their_o mouth_n to_o look_v at_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o david_n matth._n 15.22_o a_o woman_n of_o canaan_n come_v out_o of_o the_o same_o coast_n and_o cry_v unto_o he_o say_v have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o o_o lord_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n and_o matth._n 20.30_o and_o behold_v two_o blind_a man_n sit_v by_o the_o way_n side_n when_o they_o hear_v that_o jesus_n pass_v by_o cry_v out_o say_v have_v mercy_n on_o we_o o_o lord_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n and_o chap._n 21.9_o and_o the_o multitude_n that_o go_v before_o and_o that_o follow_v after_o cry_v say_v hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n even_o all_o sort_n look_v at_o messiah_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o the_o offspring_n of_o david_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o rather_o david_n be_v name_v here_o than_o other_o object_n but_o if_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o way_n of_o objection_n from_o that_o in_o isa_n 53.8_o and_o who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n if_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n every_o one_o may_v declare_v his_o generation_n therefore_o how_o do_v these_o two_o scripture_n then_o correspond_v who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n say_v isaiah_n now_o matthew_n and_o john_n tell_v his_o generation_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o the_o offspring_n of_o david_n answ_n for_o answer_v first_o of_o all_o know_v that_o some_o expositor_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v refer_v this_o in_o isaiah_n to_o christ_n divine_a nature_n and_o generation_n of_o god_n and_o who_o can_v declare_v his_o ganeration_n that_o be_v who_o can_v declare_v how_o the_o father_n beget_v the_o son_n how_o christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n shall_v be_v a_o son_n let_v that_o man_n arise_v and_o set_v his_o gift_n and_o grace_n a_o work_n to_o the_o

expositor_n refer_v it_o to_o that_o and_o so_o who_o can_v tell_v his_o geneneration_n 2_o it_o may_v be_v refer_v to_o christ_n day_n and_o year_n that_o he_o be_v for_o to_o live_v and_o continue_v

he_o be_v cut_v off_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n who_o shall_v declare_v his_o generation_n that_o be_v the_o continuance_n of_o his_o day_n and_o time_n for_o they_o think_v that_o when_o he_o be_v cut_v off_o there_o have_v be_v a_o end_n of_o his_o day_n but_o there_o be_v not_o a_o end_n of_o christ_n day_n for_o though_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o root_n under_o that_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o he_o be_v raise_v again_o and_o christ_n he_o live_v for_o ever_o heb._n 7._o and_o rev._n 1.18_o i_o be_o he_o that_o live_v

present_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n will_v be_v drink_v off_o by_o they_o to_o the_o hungry_a soul_n every_o bitter_a thing_n be_v sweet_a so_o to_o the_o thirsty_a soul_n every_o bitter_a thing_n

do_v abate_v and_o extinguish_v the_o thirst_n after_o unlawful_a thing_n and_o do_v abate_v very_o much_o your_o desire_n after_o other_o thing_n say_v christ_n unto_o the_o woman_n in_o john_n 4.14_o whosoever_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v shall_v never_o thirst_v as_o he_o have_v do_v before_o shall_v never_o have_v such_o strong_a

he_o i_o account_v all_o loss_n and_o dung_n now_o for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o have_v another_o thirst_v beget_v in_o i_o now_o and_o this_o thirst_n have_v abate_v my_o thirst_n to_o the_o world_n my_o desire_n after_o creature_n and_o delight_n in_o they_o i_o have_v a_o thirst_n that_o carry_v i_o after_o more_o high_a and_o excellent_a thing_n than_o they_o be_v so_o in_o gal._n 6.14_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_n save_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v unto_o i_o

other_o thirst_v be_v abate_v but_o this_o increase_v the_o more_o you_o drink_v still_o the_o more_o you_o thirst_n the_o more_o grace_n any_o man_n retain_v the_o more_o eager_a after_o grace_n still_o the_o more_o thirsty_a after_o christ_n this_o day_n the_o more_o the_o next_o this_o thirst_n beget_v thirst_n it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o see_v his_o need_n of_o christ_n more_o and_o of_o

so_o when_o the_o soul_n thirst_v and_o god_n give_v it_o water_n of_o life_n it_o thirst_v more_o therefore_o say_v god_n open_v your_o mouth_n wide_a and_o i_o will_v fill_v it_o in_o time_n god_n will_v fill_v it_o but_o grace_n do_v stretch_v our_o desire_n and_o make_v man_n more_o vigorous_a in_o pursuit_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n than_o over_o before_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o can_v

after_o christ_n the_o spouse_n be_v never_o so_o affect_v with_o christ_n as_o after_o she_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n 7_o again_o where_o this_o thirst_n be_v in_o truth_n it_o breed_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o conformity_n to_o the_o thirst_n that_o be_v in_o god_n and_o in_o christ_n quest_n why_o be_v they_o thirsty_a ans_fw-fr yes_o god_n himself_o be_v thirsty_a and_o

o_o that_o i_o can_v keep_v thy_o statute_n here_o be_v a_o conformity_n now_o between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v athirst_a say_v god_n in_o psal_n 27._o seek_v you_o my_o face_n my_o

my_o belove_a be_v i_o and_o his_o desire_n be_v towards_o i_o and_o in_o another_o place_n i_o be_o my_o belove_n and_o my_o beloved_n be_v i_o do_v christ_n desire_v i_o why_o i_o desire_v christ_n

spiritual_a thirst_n do_v cause_n man_n to_o thirst_n after_o god_n for_o himself_o and_o christ_n for_o himself_o many_o do_v thirst_n after_o god_n not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o themselves_o they_o thirst_v after_o the_o loaf_n they_o thirst_v after_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o many_o seek_v to_o be_v in_o great_a service_n to_o be_v in_o great_a man_n house_n and_o court_n that_o

to_o david_n and_o to_o solomon_n but_o not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o david_n or_o solomon_n but_o to_o save_v his_o life_n so_o many_o come_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v from_o hell_n and_o damnation_n but_o they_o will_v live_v in_o their_o lust_n have_v their_o will_n have_v their_o ease_n and_o bear_v god_n livery_n some_o outward_a profession_n but_o they_o come_v not_o to_o

that_o be_v true_o athirst_a must_v have_v god_n himself_o and_o for_o himself_o he_o know_v all_o other_o thing_n will_v come_v in_o after_o if_o i_o have_v god_n i_o have_v all_o if_o i_o have_v

o_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o that_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o it_o and_o it_o belong_v to_o be_v fruitful_a and_o thirst_v to_o receive_v some_o influence_n of_o grace_n some_o

and_o so_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o whether_o you_o have_v this_o thirst_n or_o no._n quest_n here_o now_o a_o question_n may_v arise_v may_v some_o say_v i_o

or_o any_o creature_n can_v refresh_v you_o but_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n all_o the_o virtue_n that_o refresh_v a_o guilty_a soul_n a_o thirsty_a soul_n a_o sinful_a soul_n all_o the_o virtue_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v water_n of_o life_n he_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n he_o have_v to_o give_v you_o that_o which_o will_v do_v your_o soul_n good_a he_o can_v give_v you_o his_o blood_n to_o quench_v the_o fire_n of_o hell_n to_o purge_v away_o your_o guilt_n to_o remove_v wrath_n to_o come_v it_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o in_o none_o other_o therefore_o all_o those_o that_o go_v to_o other_o forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n and_o embrace_v lie_v vanity_n but_o those_o that_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o go_v the_o right_a way_n three_o do_v christ_n invite_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o then_o let_v we_o examine_v and_o make_v inquiry_n whether_o we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n or_o no_o i_o believe_v here_o be_v hardly_o any_o under_o this_o roof_n but_o think_v he_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v a_o true_a christian_a and_o its_o worth_n the_o inquiry_n then_o that_o he_o may_v resolve_v this_o case_n so_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v for_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 7_o of_o math_n in_o that_o day_n many_o shall_v say_v lord_n lord_n have_v not_o we_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o in_o thy_o presence_n but_o christ_n shall_v say_v unto_o they_o depart_v from_o i_o i_o never_o know_v you_o you_o never_o come_v to_o i_o i_o say_v then_o it_o may_v be_v worth_a our_o time_n to_o make_v inquiry_n after_o this_o case_n of_o conscience_n whether_o we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n yea_o or_o no_o and_o i_o shall_v in_o a_o few_o particular_n clear_v it_o up_o unto_o you_o first_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o truth_n come_v to_o christ_n have_v see_v a_o sufficiency_n in_o christ_n to_o relieve_v it_o every_o way_n and_o such_o a_o sufficiency_n as_o have_v make_v it_o to_o venture_v itself_o upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n alone_o and_o nothing_o else_o now_o apply_v this_o to_o your_o own_o soul_n have_v you_o ever_o see_v such_o sufficiency_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o heaven_n and_o earth_n beside_o have_v not_o and_o so_o see_v as_o to_o make_v you_o come_v off_o from_o all_o and_o venture_v upon_o he_o alone_o if_o you_o have_v clear_o see_v the_o suffiency_n of_o christ_n than_o your_o own_o righteousness_n be_v nothing_o to_o you_o your_o own_o civility_n morality_n and_o honesty_n be_v as_o nothing_o though_o they_o be_v good_a in_o regard_n of_o man_n yet_o they_o be_v nothing_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o your_o soul_n you_o see_v a_o allsufficiency_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o utter_a insufficiency_n in_o yourselves_o alas_o what_o be_v my_o righteousness_n say_v the_o soul_n that_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n my_o righteousness_n be_v filthiness_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o can_v do_v be_v unprofitablenesse_n before_o god_n and_o though_o i_o have_v learning_n and_o wisdom_n and_o part_n and_o memory_n and_o utterance_n and_o riches_n and_o

of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o allusufficiency_n in_o christ_n i_o but_o these_o may_v damn_v i_o and_o send_v i_o to_o hell_n now_o put_v these_o to_o your_o own_o heart_n for_o it_o be_v ill_a to_o be_v deceive_v in_o matter_n of_o eternity_n have_v you_o see_v i_o say_v such_o a_o sufficiency_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n of_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o righteousness_n and_o the_o like_a as_o you_o have_v lay_v down_o all_o your_o own_o and_o see_v it_o nothing_o and_o have_v venture_v your_o soul_n naked_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o 45_o of_o isa_n 24._o very_o shall_v one_o say_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v i_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n i_o have_v none_o in_o myself_o it_o be_v a_o pprophecy_n of_o the_o last_o time_n concern_v christ_n i_o have_v swear_v by_o

speak_v of_o christ_n and_o apply_v to_o he_o in_o the_o philippian_n sure_o shall_v one_o say_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v i_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n even_o to_o he_o shall_v man_n come_v mark_v in_o the_o lord_n shall_v all_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n be_v justify_v and_o shall_v glory_n unto_o he_o shall_v they_o come_v and_o all_o that_o be_v incense_v against_o he_o shall_v be_v

but_o unto_o he_o shall_v man_n come_v and_o in_o the_o lord_n shall_v all_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n be_v justify_v and_o shall_v glory_n they_o shall_v be_v justify_v in_o christ_n therefore_o

that_o come_v to_o he_o do_v so_o second_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v come_v unto_o christ_n it_o do_v stay_v itself_o upon_o he_o and_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o go_v not_o out_o from_o he_o as_o it_o
