of_o the_o writer_n of_o it_o and_o some_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n who_o write_v indeed_o for_o general_a instruction_n both_o of_o jew_n &_o gentile_n in_o which_o respect_n their_o epistle_n

special_o to_o the_o gentile_n see_v that_o he_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o uncircumcision_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v which_o be_v those_o holy_a scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a

of_o his_o name_n here_o in_o this_o present_a world_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n hereof_o because_o these_o holy_a scripture_n only_o be_v in_o most_o singular_a manner_n and_o more_o immediate_o than_o any_o other_o writing_n give_v by_o god_n himself_o either_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n from_o heaven_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v christ_n jesus_n the_o

profession_n of_o it_o in_o the_o fit_a time_n and_o place_n thereof_o every_o one_o therefore_o that_o will_v may_v see_v that_o these_o thing_n though_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o religion_n yet_o may_v they_o not_o be_v profane_o and_o rude_o neglect_v of_o we_o without_o sin_n against_o this_o holy_a commandment_n of_o god_n and_o we_o be_v the_o rather_o to_o consider_v of_o these_o thing_n because_o experience_n show_v that_o many_o fall_n from_o popish_a superstition_n to_o a_o contrary_a extremity_n of_o unreverend_a behaviour_n before_o the_o lord_n as_o though_o it_o
