these_o record_n which_o have_v be_v keep_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o adversary_n where_o there_o be_v so_o clear_a a_o portraicure_n of_o he_o hold_v forth_o both_o as_o to_o his_o person_n his_o way_n of_o come_v the_o place_n whence_o the_o entertainment_n he_o shall_v get_v and_o his_o death_n that_o i_o must_v think_v it_o a_o contradiction_n to_o reason_n how_o man_n shall_v acknowledge_v the_o old_a testament_n and_o not_o grant_v the_o new_a since_o it_o be_v clear_v the_o jew_n look_v for_o no_o other_o messiah_n than_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v hold_v out_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o they_o acknowledge_v also_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o esay_n daniel_n micah_n malachi_n etc._n etc._n who_o do_v by_o such_o clear_a mark_n point_v he_o forth_o and_o show_v the_o church_n how_o they_o shall_v know_v he_o when_o he_o come_v for_o true_o it_o may_v thence_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o more_o certain_a the_o messiah_n shall_v come_v then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o i_o will_v but_o serious_o ask_v what_o do_v the_o lew_n this_o day_n miss_v in_o our_o bless_a lord_n jesus_n which_o the_o old_a testament_n allow_v they_o to_o expect_v in_o the_o messiah_n be_v it_o that_o he_o come_v with_o no_o outward_a show_v and_o glory_n sure_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n such_o a_o one_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o acknowledge_v no_o shall_v he_o not_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n 2._o gen._n who_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n as_o esay_n show_v his_o voice_n not_o hear_v in_o the_o street_n despise_v and_o reject_v of_o man_n a_o

6_o be_v it_o not_o undeniable_a that_o the_o jew_n now_o in_o their_o present_a case_n can_v possible_o expect_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o promise_n that_o the_o messiah_n can_v this_o day_n

yea_o be_v not_o the_o gentiles_n bring_v in_o who_o isai_n show_v shall_v be_v gather_v under_o the_o standard_n of_o the_o messiah_n do_v not_o the_o daily_a sacrifice_n cease_v which_o the_o jew_n will_v confess_v have_v be_v for_o many_o age_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v after_o his_o come_n and_o i_o will_v ask_v how_o be_v that_o ever_o fulfil_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o second_o temple_n shall_v exceed_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o first_o for_o this_o can_v be_v on_o the_o account_n of_o its_o structure_n or_o outward_a magnificence_n sure_o there_o be_v nothing_o wherein_o this_o glory_n can_v appear_v but_o as_o it_o point_v at_o christ_n and_o the_o break_n up_o of_o that_o glorious_a light_n which_o be_v before_o its_o destruction_n 7._o there_o be_v a_o innumerable_a company_n who_o have_v embrace_v the_o gospel_n and_o receive_v the_o spirit_n by_o the_o ministry_n thereof_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o have_v put_v this_o seal_n thereto_o in_o all_o age_n that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o true_o without_o partial_a respect_n which_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n have_v be_v force_v to_o justify_v it_o may_v be_v say_v these_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n in_o their_o time_n many_o of_o great_a outward_a part_n and_o ability_n who_o moral_a integrity_n and_o candour_n be_v beyond_o question_n even_o with_o their_o adversary_n and_o these_o both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentiles_n of_o all_o rank_n of_o man_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o language_n who_o not_o only_o by_o a_o naked_a profession_n but_o by_o their_o walk_n and_o suffering_n do_v show_v forth_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o a_o crucify_a christ_n yea_o shine_v as_o light_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o conviction_n of_o onlooker_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o convince_a witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o its_o enemy_n can_v possible_o deny_v 8._o that_o excellent_a doctrine_n deliver_v to_o the_o church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v it_o not_o clear_o show_v whence_o it_o be_v and_o witness_v its_o own_o authority_n for_o here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o manifest_a agreement_n betwixt_o this_o and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a jewish_a church_n that_o as_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n hold_v forth_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n so_o the_o prophet_n do_v carry_v it_o on_o with_o further_a clearness_n and_o the_o evangelist_n bring_v forward_o like_o a_o excellent_a edifice_n that_o be_v found_v and_o advance_v in_o the_o one_o but_o perfect_v in_o the_o other_o all_o breathe_a the_o same_o spirit_n with_o a_o convince_a tendency_n to_o the_o same_o end_n so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v the_o old_a jew_n under_o the_o law_n be_v in_o effect_n christian_n and_o the_o follower_n of_o christ_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n in_o some_o respect_n be_v jew_n be_v one_o in_o the_o substantial_o of_o their_o religion_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o poor_a apostate_n people_n now_o in_o the_o jewish_a nation_n have_v whole_o depart_v from_o their_o own_o doctrive_n and_o will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o they_o may_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o in_o this_o i_o will_v serious_o attest_v the_o adversary_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o paganism_n the_o turk_n alcoran_n or_o jewish_a talmud_n hold_v forth_o any_o such_o doctrine_n or_o rule_v as_o that_o which_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v such_o pure_a and_o excellent_a precept_n to_o restrain_v the_o inordinacy_n of_o corrupt_a affection_n back_v with_o argument_n become_v a_o

the_o most_o exquisite_a rule_n of_o perfection_n for_o man_n to_o press_v after_o yea_o where_o every_o page_n and_o line_n breathe_v forth_o holiness_n towards_o god_n and_o righteousness_n and_o
