which_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o common_a right_n of_o testament_n the_o effect_n of_o which_o be_v defer_v till_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n although_o it_o may_v yet_o seem_v that_o the_o apostle_n ground_n his_o speech_n upon_o too_o weak_a a_o reason_n so_o as_o that_o which_o he_o say_v may_v easy_o be_v refute_v for_o god_n make_v no_o testament_n under_o the_o law_n but_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o ancient_a people_n and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o gather_v from_o the_o thing_n itself_o neither_o yet_o from_o the_o name_n that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v necessary_a for_o if_o he_o will_v infer_v by_o the_o matter_n itself_o that_o it_o be_v needful_a christ_n shall_v die_v because_o the_o testament_n be_v not_o ratify_v till_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n come_v between_o some_o may_v present_o reply_v that_o berith_n which_o word_n moses_n use_v here_o and_o there_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v a_o covenant_n make_v between_o the_o live_n so_o as_o we_o can_v think_v otherwise_o of_o the_o matter_n as_o touch_v the_o name_n he_o simple_o allude_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o greek_a word_n diathece_n which_o have_v two_o signification_n and_o therefore_o he_o chief_o insist_o upon_o the_o thing_n neither_o be_v this_o repugnant_a to_o that_o which_o some_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o his_o people_n for_o this_o covenant_n be_v like_o a_o testament_n because_o it_o be_v establish_v and_o confirm_v by_o blood_n this_o principle_n than_o must_v be_v retain_v that_o god_n never_o use_v sign_n at_o random_n nor_o without_o cause_n now_o so_o it_o be_v that_o god_n in_o confirm_v of_o the_o covenant_n intermingle_v blood_n therewithal_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o contract_n between_o the_o live_n as_o they_o say_v but_o such_o a_o contract_n as_o require_v death_n to_o come_v between_o for_o a_o testament_n have_v this_o condition_n proper_a unto_o it_o that_o it_o begin_v to_o take_v effect_n after_o death_n if_o we_o then_o consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n contend_v rather_o about_o the_o substance_n than_o the_o name_n moreover_o if_o we_o come_v to_o weigh_v with_o ourselves_o that_o he_o take_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v for_o a_o thing_n without_o controversy_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v nothing_o idly_v or_o in_o vain_a there_o will_v be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n objection_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o gentile_n in_o make_v their_o covenant_n have_v use_v sacrifice_n to_o another_o end_n answer_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a but_o god_n do_v not_o borrow_v the_o use_n of_o sacrifice_n from_o their_o custom_n but_o the_o gentile_n rather_o take_v the_o beginning_n of_o all_o their_o corrupt_a and_o bastardly_a sacrifice_n from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n wherefore_o we_o must_v always_o return_v to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n which_o be_v confirm_v with_o blood_n be_v fit_o compare_v to_o a_o testament_n because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o condition_n 18_o wherefore_o neither_o be_v the_o first_o ordain_v without_o blood_n 19_o for_o when_o moses_n have_v speak_v every_o precept_n to_o the_o people_n according_a to_o the_o law_n he_o take_v the_o blood_n of_o calf_n and_o of_o goat_n with_o water_n and_o purple_a wool_n and_o hyssop_n and_o sprinkle_v both_o the_o book_n and_o all_o the_o people_n 20_o say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o testament_n 24.8_o exod._n 24.8_o which_o

by_o the_o law_n purge_v with_o blood_n and_o without_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n 23_o it_o be_v then_o necessary_a that_o the_o similitude_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n shall_v be_v purify_v with_o such_o thing_n but_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n themselves_o be_v purify_v with_o better_a sacrifice_n than_o those_o wherefore_o also_o etc._n etc._n verse_n 18_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o insist_o chief_o upon_o the_o substance_n rather_o than_o simple_o ground_v his_o speech_n upon_o the_o name_n although_o the_o apostle_n have_v turn_v the_o word_n which_o the_o language_n afford_v he_o wherein_o he_o write_v to_o his_o profit_n as_o if_o some_o speak_v also_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n which_o the_o greek_n often_o call_v martyria_fw-la

theuda_n do_v not_o express_o conclude_v this_o but_o because_o nothing_o be_v say_v herein_o which_o agree_v not_o very_o well_o to_o the_o matter_n no_o wise_a man_n will_v stand_v to_o descant_v too_o curious_o about_o the_o word_n thus_o than_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v dedicate_v with_o blood_n from_o whence_o he_o gather_v that_o man_n be_v thereby_o
