observe_v of_o mahomet_n doctrine_n for_o religion_n that_o the_o turk_n teach_v within_o his_o dominion_n or_o that_o a_o papist_n shall_v teach_v if_o uppermost_a so_o now_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v

after_o his_o so_o many_o assertion_n that_o that_o only_o be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v as_o canonical_a scripture_n which_o the_o civil_a sovereign_n say_v be_v so_o and_o that_o in_o 1651._o he_o attend_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o sword_n to_o decide_v all_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o he_o can_v acknowledge_v nothing_o to_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n but_o that_o which_o the_o

he_o mean_v that_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v so_o only_o until_o the_o sword_n have_v at_o that_o time_n determine_v it_o after_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v lay_v down_o positive_a general_a

the_o particular_n of_o the_o several_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o hope_n there_o i_o suppose_v to_o complete_a the_o work_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o several_a book_n especial_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o write_v by_o those_o that_o be_v common_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o they_o but_o by_o other_o a_o long_a time_n after_o their_o death_n which_o if_o true_a may_v raise_v a_o scruple_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o only_o he_o say_v that_o he_o suppose_v moses_n write_v the_o great_a part_n of_o deuteronomy_n else_o that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v pen_v general_o by_o esdras_n for_o which_o he_o cite_v the_o apocrypha_fw-la esdras_n the_o 14_o the_o chapter_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o esdras_n pen_v they_o after_o the_o captivity_n to_o answer_v particular_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o this_o will_v require_v a_o very_a large_a discourse_n enough_o to_o tire_v out_o both_o i_o and_o my_o reader_n beside_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a my_o while_n to_o answer_v general_a assertion_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_a admission_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a

in_o i_o shall_v answer_v particular_o he_o say_v the_o pentateuch_n be_v pen_v long_o after_o moses_n death_n and_o for_o this_o he_o cite_v the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n v._n 6._o which_o say_v that_o when_o abraham_n pass_v through_o the_o land_n to_o the_o plain_a of_o moreh_n the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n which_o show_v clear_o say_v mr._n hobbes_n that_o this_o book_n be_v write_v after_o moses_n time_n because_o the_o canaanite_n be_v not_o displace_v till_o after_o moses_n death_n but_o if_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v well_o consider_v and_o look_v into_o the_o 7_o the_o verse_n he_o will_v have_v find_v that_o god_n promise_v abraham_n the_o land_n in_o which_o at_o that_o time_n abraham_n build_v a_o altar_n unto_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o take_a

the_o future_a time_n and_o see_v the_o canaanite_n displace_v and_o know_v that_o by_o force_n of_o god_n promise_n the_o canaanite_n ancient_a right_n to_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n be_v

to_o be_v understand_v or_o may_v not_o the_o text_n be_v rational_o intend_v that_o moses_n say_v this_o to_o declare_v that_o the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n and_o not_o any_o other_o people_n how_o unreasonable_a then_o it_o be_v for_o mr._n hobbes_n to_o change_v a_o general_a supposition_n at_o the_o best_a but_o upon_o a_o doubtful_a text_n of_o scripture_n and_o a_o

before_o that_o reason_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o rest_n of_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o text_n to_o prove_v this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v they_o over_o as_o to_o the_o penman_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n he_o determin_n nothing_o but_o say_v that_o they_o be_v make_v canonical_a by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o writer_n of_o
