seem_v to_o collect_v from_o luke_n 20._o v_o 34_o 35_o 36._o which_o say_v the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n marry_v but_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v account_v worthy_a to_o obtain_v that_o world_n neither_o marry_o nor_o die_v any_o more_o hence_o he_o infer_v that_o because_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v people_n now_o alive_a do_v marry_v and_o those_o in_o heaven_n do_v not_o marry_v that_o therefore_o the_o reprobate_n which_o he_o will_v have_v understand_v by_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n may_v marry_v which_o be_v nonsense_n and_o without_o ground_n it_o

observe_v a_o notable_a collection_n of_o mr._n hobbes_n from_o a_o text_n of_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n say_v to_o our_o saviour_n thou_o have_v a_o devil_n hence_o he_o seem_v

that_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o those_o people_n say_v to_o have_v devil_n be_v only_o trouble_v with_o some_o extraordinary_a or_o ill_a disease_n so_o see_v this_o learned_a

as_o to_o our_o saviour_n have_v a_o devil_n that_o therefore_o the_o good_a jew_n and_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v mistake_v as_o to_o any_o one_o else_o have_v a_o devil_n but_o this_o i_o
