such_o prick_n in_o the_o scripture_n how_o many_o verse_n word_n yet_o letter_n be_v in_o the_o law_n and_o which_o be_v the_o middle_a verse_n word_n and_o letter_n so_o that_o by_o their_o

under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o ashur_n the_o other_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o nephtali_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o alter_v the_o sense_n at_o all_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o all_o our_o great_a rabbinicall_a bibles_n the_o end_n therefore_o of_o the_o massarite_n meeting_n and_o of_o their_o work_n be_v not_o to_o invent_v vowel_n and_o prick_v but_o only_o to_o note_v how_o they_o do_v find_v the_o scripture_n prick_v and_o vowel_v from_o the_o day_n of_o old_a and_o to_o set_v down_o rule_v from_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o and_o for_o the_o preserve_v they_o without_o alteration_n or_o corruption_n to_o all_o posterity_n thus_o much_o i_o have_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o rabbin_n though_o my_o skill_n be_v but_o small_a in_o their_o language_n and_o though_o i_o have_v have_v no_o time_n to_o spend_v in_o the_o study_n of_o they_o but_o such_o as_o i_o have_v steal_v from_o my_o other_o necessary_a study_n of_o divinity_n which_o proper_o concern_v my_o call_v and_o if_o you_o know_v not_o this_o to_o be_v true_a i_o be_o sure_a you_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a hebrutian_a and_o slender_o read_v in_o hebrew_a rabbin_n mr._n smith_n all_o the_o rabbin_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o prick_v of_o the_o bible_n be_v invent_v by_o the_o massarite_n and_o undoubted_o that_o opinion_n be_v the_o truth_n mr._n walker_n i_o pray_v you_o name_n one_o rabbin_z of_o note_n who_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n and_o i_o will_v name_v you_o ten_o of_o the_o contrary_a i_o have_v ten_o or_o twelve_o of_o the_o best_a rabbin_z commentary_n upon_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o i_o will_v show_v to_o you_o and_o if_o you_o can_v find_v any_o of_o they_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n i_o will_v yield_v unto_o you_o in_o this_o point_n nay_o more_o than_o that_o i_o will_v show_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n write_v by_o moses_n that_o the_o original_a scripture_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n which_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n by_o the_o priest_n be_v write_v not_o single_a without_o prick_n as_o common_a copy_n be_v but_o double_a both_o with_o letter_n and_o prick_n so_o that_o none_o can_v doubt_v of_o the_o right_a read_n of_o they_o mr._n smith_n it_o be_v easy_o say_v but_o impossible_a to_o be_v prove_v if_o you_o can_v show_v i_o any_o such_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v do_v more_o than_o any_o ever_o yet_o can_v do_v mr._n walker_n look_v deut._n 17._o 18._o and_o there_o it_o be_v plain_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o book_n of_o the_o law_n appoint_v to_o be_v keep_v before_o the_o priest_n &_o levite_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n out_o of_o which_o the_o king_n be_v command_v to_o write_v he_o a_o double_a write_v copy_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v a_o copy_n write_v both_o with_o letter_n and_o prick_n and_o so_o most_o easy_a to_o be_v read_v and_o understand_v for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n there_o use_v be_v mishn_v which_o signify_v double_a and_o so_o you_o see_v here_o in_o your_o interliniall_a bible_n pagani_n do_v translate_v it_o duplum_fw-la legis_fw-la that_o be_v the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o double_a form_n both_o with_o letter_n and_o prick_n another_o priest_n mr._n smith_n be_v confound_v with_o this_o proof_n can_v answer_v nothing_o &_o therefore_o another_o priest_n who_o do_v sit_v by_o to_o assist_v he_o answer_v for_o he_o that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n mishn_v do_v not_o signify_v the_o original_a scripture_n but_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o rabbin_n upon_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n mr._n walker_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o rabbin_n call_v their_o exposition_n sometime_o by_o this_o name_n as_o for_o example_n rabbi_n moses_n maymonides_n call_v his_o sum_n of_o the_o talmid_n mishu_v torah_n but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o in_o moses_n his_o day_n when_o he_o write_v this_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n there_o be_v no_o rabbinical_a commentary_n nor_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o only_o the_o law_n itself_o be_v keep_v before_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o king_n be_v command_v to_o write_v it_o only_o into_o a_o book_n there_o mishueth_n can_v here_o signify_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o text_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o double_a form_n which_o double_a form_n of_o writing_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v read_v and_o understand_v and_o be_v a_o exposition_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o single_a writing_n without_o prick_v whereupon_o this_o word_n mishu_v come_v to_o signify_v a_o exposition_n or_o commentary_n which_o do_v large_o express_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v more_o short_a and_o obscure_a and_o the_o jew_n do_v call_v by_o this_o name_n the_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n because_o it_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o law_n write_v more_o obscure_o in_o the_o other_o book_n and_o their_o exposition_n of_o the_o law_n set_v down_o in_o their_o talmud_n they_o also_o call_v mishueth_n and_o mishuai●th_v priest_n the_o word_n mishu_v do_v not_o signify_v proper_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o double_a law_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v call_v mickra_fw-mi in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n mr._n walker_n the_o law_n be_v the_o first_o scripture_n which_o be_v write_v and_o therefore_o the_o word_n mishuith_n by_o your_o own_o confession_n signisy_v the_o law_n double_v be_v write_v in_o double_a form_n signify_v the_o scripture_n write_v both_o with_o letter_n and_o prick_n and_o so_o you_o contradict_v yourself_o in_o your_o speech_n whereas_o you_o allege_v another_o name_n by_o which_o the_o hebrew_n call_v the_o scripture_n to_o wit_n mickra_fw-mi and_o from_o they_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v never_o call_v mishueth_n by_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o your_o reason_n be_v ridiculous_a for_o one_o name_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o rest_n but_o it_o have_v diverse_a name_n in_o all_o language_n we_o in_o english_a call_v it_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o bible_n and_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o god_n word_n so_o in_o hebrew_n the_o scripture_n be_v call_v by_o diverse_a name_n sometime_o torah_n that_o be_v the_o law_n because_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o life_n sometime_o chethab_n the_o scripture_n or_o writing_n because_o it_o be_v write_v sometime_o mickra_fw-mi because_o it_o be_v read_v of_o all_o god_n people_n and_o as_o it_o be_v write_v full_a and_o plain_a in_o letter_n and_o prick_n it_o be_v call_v mishueh_n the_o priest_n have_v nothing_o to_o reply_v to_o this_o answer_n but_o hold_v his_o peace_n some_o of_o the_o gentleman_n desire_v that_o these_o disputation_n about_o the_o hebrew_n text_n which_o they_o can_v not_o understand_v may_v cease_v and_o that_o mr._n smith_n will_v dispute_v in_o plain_a english_a by_o way_n of_o syllogism_n to_o which_o motion_n both_o party_n agree_v and_o so_o mr._n smith_n proceed_v to_o another_o argument_n which_o be_v write_v down_o first_o and_o then_o answer_v mr._n smith_n that_o
