body_n must_v have_v write_v those_o book_n and_o accommodate_v they_o to_o the_o ceremony_n and_o law_n which_o be_v already_o in_o use_n add_v thereunto_o those_o miracle_n the_o more_o to_o engage_v the_o people_n unto_o the_o observance_n of_o that_o law_n but_o all_o this_o be_v so_o far_o void_a of_o all_o probability_n that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o till_o now_o that_o dare_v in_o earnest_n assert_v it_o 37._o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v for_o example_n that_o the_o pentateuch_n be_v write_v and_o publish_v long_o after_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n and_o that_o it_o cause_v the_o establishment_n of_o the_o law_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o it_o contain_v then_o it_o must_v be_v say_v also_o that_o the_o ark_n and_o tabernacle_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o religion_n be_v not_o make_v till_o long_o after_o moses_n and_o till_o that_o book_n have_v be_v publish_v but_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n absolute_o impossible_a for_o all_o the_o jew_n firm_o believe_v that_o their_o ark_n and_o tabernacle_n be_v make_v by_o moses_n as_o that_o book_n relate_v and_o it_o be_v not_o conceivable_a why_o or_o on_o what_o account_n they_o can_v have_v take_v up_o such_o a_o opinion_n if_o they_o have_v make_v they_o both_o themselves_o after_o they_o have_v see_v and_o receive_v that_o book_n which_o be_v now_o suppose_v not_o to_o have_v appear_v in_o the_o world_n till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o moses_n it_o will_v be_v doubtless_o one_o of_o the_o pretty_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o most_o unparalleled_a either_o that_o this_o book_n have_v be_v compile_v all_o at_o once_o and_o beforehand_o with_o that_o prodigious_a number_n of_o ceremony_n and_o law_n as_o already_o in_o use_n they_o shall_v afterward_o have_v be_v institute_v and_o settle_v or_o that_o be_v compile_v by_o degree_n and_o according_a as_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v institute_v and_o establish_v it_o shall_v always_o have_v have_v as_o they_o say_v a_o retractive_a effect_n or_o influence_n and_o have_v wrought_v backward_o so_o as_o to_o cause_v each_o of_o those_o institution_n to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o moses_n 38._o likewise_o how_o can_v this_o people_n who_o at_o their_o first_o embrace_v of_o this_o law_n must_v at_o least_o have_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o it_o have_v be_v in_o use_n among_o they_o ever_o since_o moses_n his_o time_n and_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o continue_a succession_n of_o priest_n ever_o since_o aaron_n how_o i_o say_v can_v this_o people_n have_v be_v able_a to_o persuade_v themselves_o universal_o to_o believe_v that_o what_o be_v prescribe_v by_o that_o book_n have_v always_o be_v practise_v among_o they_o and_o that_o the_o priest_n who_o it_o ordain_v have_v receive_v their_o ministry_n from_o aaron_n by_o a_o uninterrupted_a succession_n and_o final_o how_o upon_o the_o same_o principle_n can_v all_o the_o other_o tribe_n and_o family_n have_v suffer_v the_o tribe_n of_o levy_n and_o race_n of_o aaron_n to_o appropriate_v unto_o themselves_o all_o the_o privilege_n belong_v to_o the_o priesthood_n and_o to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n 39_o there_o be_v no_o less_o absurdity_n in_o the_o other_o supposition_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o law_n have_v be_v give_v by_o moses_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n be_v preserve_v for_o a_o time_n among_o the_o jew_n by_o mean_n of_o tradition_n only_o and_o that_o afterward_o those_o who_o commit_v it_o to_o write_v add_v thereunto_o all_o those_o miracle_n for_o beside_o that_o even_o this_o will_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o miracle_n and_o a_o thing_n very_o hard_o to_o conceive_v that_o that_o people_n shall_v have_v receive_v a_o law_n so_o strict_a and_o severe_a as_o that_o be_v from_o a_o man_n who_o have_v do_v nothing_o extraordinary_a for_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v it_o from_o god_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o moses_n who_o doubtless_o have_v the_o use_n of_o writing_n shall_v have_v omit_v a_o thing_n so_o necessary_a and_o not_o have_v commit_v to_o write_v a_o law_n that_o contain_v so_o many_o observation_n so_o many_o ceremony_n and_o so_o many_o rule_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v it_o always_o before_o one_o eye_n for_o fear_v of_o fail_v in_o some_o or_o other_o point_n of_o duty_n prescribe_v by_o it_o 40._o and_o indeed_o we_o learn_v also_o from_o the_o book_n itself_o that_o moses_n do_v not_o sail_v to_o commit_v it_o to_o writing_n moses_n as_o it_o be_v say_v deut._n 31._o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o write_v this_o law_n and_o

at_o the_o end_n of_o every_o seven_o year_n in_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n and_o it_o be_v also_o say_v in_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o many_o place_n of_o that_o book_n that_o god_n command_v moses_n to_o write_v that_o which_o he_o reveal_v to_o he_o upon_o the_o mount_n if_o the_o jew_n than_o have_v receive_v that_o law_n from_o he_o only_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n how_o can_v they_o have_v ever_o receive_v a_o book_n which_o shall_v have_v contain_v a_o lie_n so_o gross_a &_o evident_a and_o which_o shall_v have_v carry_v in_o it_o a_o express_a order_n from_o god_n which_o their_o lawgiver_n have_v not_o obey_v 41._o that_o very_a order_n to_o read_v the_o law_n every_o seven_o year_n at_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n as_o have_v be_v give_v by_o moses_n do_v further_a clear_o show_v that_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v change_v nor_o corrupt_v for_o it_o will_v have_v be_v impossible_a for_o such_o corruption_n not_o to_o have_v be_v discover_v or_o that_o be_v discover_v they_o shall_v have_v be_v suffer_v by_o a_o people_n devote_v to_o that_o law_n and_o who_o devout_a subjection_n to_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o their_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o write_v by_o moses_n beside_o that_o those_o miracle_n be_v most_o visible_a to_o the_o eye_n scatter_v throughout_o the_o book_n repeat_v in_o divers_a place_n of_o they_o and_o link_v with_o the_o principal_a transaction_n therein_o record_v there_o have_v be_v a_o necessity_n of_o make_v a_o new_a book_n to_o take_v they_o in_o and_o not_o mere_o to_o alter_v for_o that_o

that_o their_o chronicle_n be_v fill_v with_o they_o 43._o this_o may_v have_v some_o probability_n if_o the_o question_n be_v only_o about_o a_o matter_n of_o civil_a or_o political_a concernment_n as_o for_o example_n the_o roman_n can_v have_v be_v content_a that_o one_o shall_v have_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o aeneas_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o french_a will_v
