of_o the_o rock_n that_o follow_v they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n 1_o cor._n x._o 4._o it_o be_v not_o i_o suppose_v his_o intent_n to_o affirm_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o the_o jew_n still_o

land_n of_o promise_n but_o that_o the_o father_n drink_v of_o that_o water_n which_o the_o jew_n say_v follow_v they_o for_o of_o the_o jew_n themselves_o the_o learned_a buxtorfe_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o the_o great_a lexicon_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o do_v not_o relate_v such_o fable_n as_o story_n but_o as_o parable_n and_o i_o conceive_v i_o have_v meet_v with_o some_o thing_n in_o their_o writing_n that_o seem_v to_o make_v it_o probable_a so_o again_o when_o s._n peter_n and_o s._n jude_n cite_v the_o book_n of_o enoch_n it_o be_v not_o their_o intent_n to_o credit_v it_o or_o tie_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o they_o cite_v out_o of_o it_o but_o to_o argue_v thus_o from_o it_o that_o if_o those_o that_o read_v it_o can_v but_o applaud_v the_o decorum_n which_o it_o keep_v make_v the_o good_a angel_n so_o reverend_a that_o they_o will_v not_o curse_v or_o blaspheme_v satan_n what_o be_v we_o to_o think_v of_o those_o who_o they_o speak_v of_o that_o blaspheme_v either_o secular_a power_n as_o it_o be_v common_o understand_v or_o which_o perhaps_o be_v more_o probable_a the_o good_a angel_n and_o thus_o by_o the_o way_n you_o see_v how_o to_o answer_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o some_o stick_n to_o receive_v these_o epistle_n for_o canonical_a scripture_n though_o it_o hold_v also_o in_o divers_a of_o s._n paul_n in_o which_o be_v many_o say_n allege_v out_o of_o apocryphal_a scripture_n and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n expression_n will_v be_v most_o artificial_o modest_a suppose_v his_o meaning_n to_o be_v only_o this_o that_o woman_n ought_v to_o be_v veil_v because_o of_o that_o which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o enoch_n to_o have_v befall_v the_o angel_n now_o in_o those_o country_n where_o the_o vail_n be_v not_o use_v at_o the_o receive_n of_o christianity_n it_o seem_v this_o precept_n of_o s._n paul_n be_v not_o hold_v to_o oblige_v as_o for_o man_n cover_v or_o uncover_v their_o head_n in_o preach_v it_o can_v be_v nothing_o to_o s._n paul_n meaning_n because_o uncover_v the_o head_n in_o sign_n of_o reverence_n be_v a_o custom_n unknown_a in_o his_o time_n thus_o you_o see_v these_o particular_n propound_v in_o the_o form_n of_o precept_n notwithstanding_o do_v not_o oblige_v the_o church_n those_o that_o scruple_n the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n as_o a_o step_n to_o bring_v
