particularly named or their Name is expresed We should be so well versed in Scripture so familiarly acquainted with it It should so Indwel in us richly In all wisdom that assoon as any sentence or member of a sentence or part of the distinction of a member is spoken of we should know it that it is a Scripture-Testimonie or Scripture-phrase although the particular Book Place sentence or clause be not expressed There are some Accents in the Hebrew which some do call King-Accents because they do posess the Chief Stations and do most distinguish the sentences called pauses and Distinctive-Accents * Soph-pasuk Eccles 12. 13. Acts 8. 32. that which puts an end of the sentence and is the period of it they express by two words the former of them doth signifie An End and is so taken in several Scriptures particularly in the closing up of that Book of Solomons called Ecclesiastes as the pause at the ending of it an End of all this word hath been heard or we will hear this same Aelohim fear thou and those commandments of his keep thou for this All that Adam Because Al-that-work these Aelohim will bring in-judgment over all that is hidden If good and If evil and the other word which is translated place of Scripture in a passage of the Acts of the Apostles is retained in the Syriac denoting a cessation as when one doth cease to read and doth shut the book It puts an end to the section or sentence of a Scripture when the reader puts a stop or makes a pause Hence the Hebrews do call these Distinctive Accents † 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by a name which has its meaningof Tasts or Relishes because to a right judging-spiritual discerner they do indicate and discover what the nature and sense of every speech is as the palat doth judg of meat by the Tast and Relish of it Those who would find out more of this kind of Hebrew Learning let them industriously dig deep to come at Hebrew roots in their proper significance and apply themselves * Joh. 16. 13. 1 Joh. 2. 20 27. unto the holy Spirit for teaching as others have done In the supplies of which Good Spirit whose office and work it is from the Father and from his Son Christ to lead into all truth and to anoint with such a spiritual Unction whereby they may know all things the writer and composer of these few sheets doth intend if life and liberty be continued to set about the Practical part of this Science of Sciences and Art of Arts as any young hopeful sons and Disciples shall be willingnesses in the day Christs Power The method and mode of Arguing Disputing about any matter of profitable Inquiry in any Useful Art or Science will be this according to the Scriptures The Lord hath given us a Full Treasury of useful Knowledg in his word did we throughly apprehend prize and improve it in so much as that there is sometimes more in the right understanding of one Hebrew word For instance the first word of the First Psalm 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in its Full significancy than in all the Commentaries that I have met with upon that whole Psalm as This word O the Happy goings on with a straight foot Or O the blessed progresses with a straight foot The Root of this word is Ashar in Piel Ishsher he went with a straight foot he went happily he walked on in a right way This one word rightly understood doth cast a shining light upon the whole drift and Scope of the Psalm which is to discover who and what they are who do make an happy progress in the Christian Religion and what choice Priviledges they are which such holy Proficients do injoy This is more particularly and expresly described negatively such a man is one who hath not walked in the Councel of the unjust nor hath stood in the way of sinners nor hath fate in the seat of the scornful For Experience will convince Evidently that he who hath thus walked stood and set the Hebrew Phrase by the time past being often used to set out continued actions he will be thereby hindered in his religious journy and lose much of his precious time Then positively such a man is one whose delight in the Law of Jehovah and who in his Law will meditate Day and night because if he have done so do and shall do so This will put him onward and set him forward in the way of the LORD The holy Spirit will bear witness with his Spirit unto the Truth and goodness of This to his clearer Evidence and sweeter satisfaction And then shall he be As a Tree planted by brooks of waters which shall give his Fruit in his season and his leaf shall not fade and whatsoever he shall do shall prosper when others are fruitless and fading and unthriving as to any Spiritual holy good Progress he shall be confirmed established and not so moved whilst the unjust shall be As Chaff which the Spirit or wind driveth it away he shall be justifyed and stand upright in judgment when others are condemned and cast he shall have Church-Communion and Gospel-fellowship in the Assembly and Society of just ones which the unjust shall not be so priviledged withal For Jehovah will know he will acknowledg this way of such just ones wherein they make such an holy happy Progress whereas the way of the unjust will and shall perish they and their way together shall be done away decay be lost not regarded but rejected note this well what a Storehouse of practical religion there is contained sometimes in one Hebrew word It has been puzzling disturbing distracting and discourageing unto many in their endeavours and Studies after the knowledg of the Hebrew tongue that in most of the Hebrew Lexicons they meet with so many various and sometimes contrary significations of one Root which doth so leave them at a loss that they are under a temptation to throw away their Books and to conclude as if there were scarce any certainty in this Kind of Knowledg whereas the Scriptures of Truth copied out in the true real nature of created Beings is the one and the only Book of books where rightly and thorowly understood believed experienced lived and practised for infallible certainty of useful Science which Philosophical writings (w) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Academica qui Academici negabant aliquid posse comprehendi idest intelligi certo from α privativa particula 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 deprehendo
