the_o first_o and_o the_o righteous_a simplicity_n only_o of_o the_o latter_a and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o labour_n they_o either_o of_o they_o

the_o reason_n of_o such_o oblation_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o sai_z the_o rabbin_z be_v this_o because_o they_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v create_v and_o govern_v by_o god_n as_o the_o true_a

not_o only_o as_o present_n but_o as_o matter_n of_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n for_o sin_n as_o he_o have_v express_o tell_v their_o forefather_n 17.11_o the_o life_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o

however_o the_o modern_a rabbin_n will_v blanch_v the_o matter_n to_o make_v their_o own_o way_n more_o plausible_a unto_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d gentile_n or_o out_o of_o hatred_n to_o

that_o it_o be_v by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o cain_n have_v not_o though_o he_o can_v not_o have_v offer_v without_o revelation_n neither_o now_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n we_o will_v take_v socinus_n grant_n for_o a_o ground_n viz._n that_o the_o true_a object_n of_o faith_n be_v some_o kind_n of_o supernatural_a revelation_n and_o not_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v excogitated_a by_o a_o rational_a man_n so_o that_o if_o abel_n have_v offer_v without_o such_o a_o revelation_n he_o have_v sin_v nay_o if_o he_o have_v but_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o doubt_n whether_o he_o have_v warrant_n for_o it_o or_o no_o those_o other_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n may_v have_v be_v sit_v to_o be_v apply_v 14.23_o he_o that_o

that_o he_o offer_v only_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n a_o offer_n unto_o the_o lord_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o vile_a or_o a_o fair_a offer_n it_o make_v no_o matter_n let_v the_o rabbin_n

be_v no_o remission_n abel_n offer_n be_v like_o the_o humble_a supplication_n of_o the_o publican_n a_o sinner_n cain_n like_a the_o pharisee_n who_o offer_v praise_n more_o than_o prayer_n as_o if_o
