worthy_a to_o have_v be_v condemn_v if_o he_o have_v go_v about_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o do_v treacherous_o &_o wicked_o slander_v the_o holy_a man_n they_o endeavour_v to_o cover_v a_o evil_a cause_n with_o a_o honest_a excuse_n we_o know_v how_o strait_o the_o lord_n command_v in_o the_o law_n how_o he_o will_v have_v his_o servant_n to_o worship_v he_o therefore_o to_o depart_v from_o that_o rule_n be_v sacrilege_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o paul_n never_o mean_v to_o add_v too_o or_o take_v away_o any_o thing_n from_o the_o law_n he_o be_v unjust_o accuse_v of_o this_o fault_n whence_o we_o gather_v that_o though_o the_o faith_n full_o behave_v themselves_o never_o so_o upright_o &_o blameless_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o escape_v false_a &_o slanderous_a report_n until_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o purge_v themselves_o but_o paul_n be_v not_o only_o unworthy_o and_o false_o slander_v by_o the_o adversary_n but_o when_o he_o will_v have_v refute_v their_o impudency_n &_o false_a report_n his_o mouth_n be_v stop_v by_o the_o deputy_n therefore_o he_o be_v enforce_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o judgement_n seat_n without_o defend_v himself_o and_o gallio_n refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o cause_n not_o for_o any_o evil_n will_v he_o bear_v to_o paul_n but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o deputy_n to_o give_v judgement_n concern_v the_o religion_n of_o every_o province_n for_o though_o the_o roman_n can_v not_o enforce_v the_o nation_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o they_o to_o observe_v their_o rite_n yet_o lest_o they_o shall_v seem_v to_o allow_v that_o which_o they_o do_v tolerate_v they_o forbid_v their_o magistrate_n to_o meddle_v with_o this_o part_n of_o jurisdiction_n here_o we_o see_v what_o the_o ignorance_n of_o true_a godliness_n do_v in_o set_v in_o order_n the_o state_n of_o every_o commonwealth_n and_o dominion_n all_o man_n confess_v that_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n that_o true_a religion_n be_v in_o force_n and_o flourish_v now_o when_o the_o true_a god_n be_v know_v and_o the_o certain_a &_o sure_a rule_n of_o worship_v he_o be_v understand_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o equal_a then_o that_o which_o god_n command_v in_o his_o law_n to_o wit_n that_o those_o who_o bear_v rule_v with_o power_n have_v abolish_v contrary_a superstition_n defend_v ●he_n pure_a worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n but_o see_v that_o the_o roman_n do_v observe_v their_o rite_n only_o through_o pride_n &_o stubbornness_n &_o see_v they_o have_v no_o certainty_n where_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n they_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n they_o can_v take_v if_o they_o shall_v grant_v liberty_n to_o those_o who_o dwell_v in_o the_o province_n to_o live_v as_o they_o lust_v but_o nothing_o be_v more_o absurd_a then_o to_o leave_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o man_n choice_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n command_v by_o moses_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v cause_v a_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v write_v out_o for_o himself_o to_o wit_n that_o be_v well_o instruct_v

in_o word_n &_o superfluous_a question_n and_o sure_o as_o the_o nation_n be_v much_o give_v to_o contention_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o many_o do_v trouble_v themselves_o &_o other_o with_o superfluous_a trifle_n yea_o we_o hear_v with_o what_o paul_n hit_v they_o in_o the_o tooth_n in_o many_o place_n 3.9_o cap._n 1.14_o and_o 3.9_o especial_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o

occasion_n of_o vain_a contention_n in_o word_n so_o we_o must_v on_o the_o other_o side_n know_v that_o when_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v in_o hand_n the_o strife_n be_v not_o about_o word_n but_o a_o matter_n of_o all_o other_o most_o serious_a be_v handle_v 17_o all_o the_o grecian_n have_v take_v sosthenes_n this_o be_v that_o sosthenes_n who_o paul_n do_v honourable_o couple_v with_o himself_o as_o his_o companion_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o former_a epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o though_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o he_o before_o among_o the_o faithful_a yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o he_o be_v then_o one_o of_o paul_n his_o companion_n &_o advocate_n and_o what_o fury_n do_v enforce_v the_o grecian_n to_o run_v headlong_o upon_o he_o save_v only_o because_o it_o be_v allot_v to_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o have_v the_o world_n set_v against_o they_o and_o offend_v with_o they_o &_o their_o cause_n though_o unknown_a wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o such_o unjust_a deal_n shall_v trouble_v we_o at_o this_o day_n when_o we_o see_v the_o miserable_a church_n oppugn_v on_o every_o side_n moreover_o the_o forwardness_n of_o man_n naure_n be_v depaint_v out_o unto_o we_o as_o in_o a_o table_n admit_v we_o grant_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v hate_v every_o where_o for_o good_a cause_n yet_o why_o be_v the_o grecian_n rather_o displease_v with_o sosthenes_n a_o modest_a man_n then_o with_o the_o autor_n of_o the_o tumult_n who_o trouble_v paul_n without_o any_o cause_n namely_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o when_o man_n be_v not_o govern_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v carry_v headlong_o unto_o evil_a as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o secret_a inspiration_n of_o nature_n notwithstanding_o it_o may_v be_v that_o they_o bear_v sosthenes_n such_o hatred_n think_v he_o have_v lodge_v wicked_a man_n to_o raise_v sedition_n neither_o do_v gallio_n care_n for_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n this_o looseness_n must_v be_v impute_v not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o sluggishness_n of_o the_o deputy_n as_o to_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n the_o roman_n can_v have_v wish_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o true_a god_n have_v be_v bury_v and_o therefore_o when_o as_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o vow_v their_o vow_n and_o to_o pay_v they_o to_o all_o the_o idol_n of_o asia_n and_o grecia_n it_o be_v a_o deadly_a fact_n to_o do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n final_o in_o the_o common_a liberty_n of_o all_o manner_n superstition_n only_o true_a religion_n be_v accept_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o gallio_n wink_v at_o the_o injury_n do_v to_o sosthenes_n he_o profess_v of_o late_a that_o he_o will_v punish_v injury_n if_o any_o be_v do_v now_o he_o suffer_v a_o guiltless_a man_n to_o be_v beat_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n whence_o come_v this_o sufferance_n save_v only_o because_o he_o do_v in_o heart_n desire_n that_o the_o jew_n may_v one_o slay_v another_o that_o their_o religion_n may_v be_v put_v out_o with_o they_o but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o luke_n the_o spirit_n condemn_v gallio_n his_o carelessness_n because_o he_o do_v not_o aid_v a_o man_n which_o be_v unjust_o punish_v let_v our_o magistrate_n know_v that_o they_o be_v far_o more_o inexcusable_a if_o they_o wink_v at_o injury_n &_o wicked_a fact_n if_o they_o bridle_v not_o the_o wantonness_n of_o the_o wicked_a if_o they_o reach_v not_o forth_o their_o hand_n to_o the_o oppress_a but_o &_o if_o the_o sluggish_a be_v to_o look_v for_o just_a damnation_n what_o terrible_a judgement_n hang_v over_o the_o head_n of_o those_o who_o be_v unfaithful_a &_o wicked_a who_o by_o favour_v evil_a cause_n &_o bear_v with_o wicked_a

they_o for_o a_o heritage_n and_o that_o they_o die_v in_o another_o place_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v sojourner_n in_o it_o they_o be_v at_o length_n banish_v out_o of_o the_o same_o 14_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o jacob_n come_v into_o egypt_n with_o seventie_o five_o soul_n it_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n for_o moses_n make_v mention_n of_o seventie_o only_a hierome_n think_v that_o luke_n set_v not_o down_o word_n for_o word_n those_o thing_n which_o steeven_n have_v speak_v or_o that_o he_o take_v this_o number_n out_o of_o the_o greek_a translation_n of_o moses_n either_o because_o he_o himself_o be_v a_o prosylite_n have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n 27_o gen-46_a 27_o or_o because_o he_o will_v grant_v the_o gentile_n this_o who_o use_v to_o read_v it_o thus_o furthermore_o it_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o the_o greek_a interpreter_n set_v down_o this_o number_n of_o set_a purpose_n or_o whether_o it_o crope_v in_o afterward_o through_o negligence_n which_o i_o mean_v the_o latter_a may_v well_o be_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o grecian_n use_v to_o set_v down_o their_o number_n in_o letter_n august_n in_o his_o 26._o book_n of_o city_n of_o god_n think_v that_o joseph_n nephew_n &_o kinsman_n be_v comprehend_v in_o this_o number_n &_o so_o he_o think_v that_o the_o word_n go_v down_o do_v signify_v all_o that_o time_n which_o jacob_n live_v but_o that_o conjecture_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v receive_v for_o in_o the_o mean_a space_n the_o other_o patriarch_n also_o have_v many_o child_n bear_v to_o they_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o thing_n like_a to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o seventie_o interpreter_n do_v translate_v that_o true_o which_o be_v in_o moses_n and_o we_o can_v say_v that_o they_o be_v deceive_v forasmuch_o as_o deu._n 10._o where_o this_o number_n be_v repeat_v they_o agree_v with_o moses_n at_o least_o as_o that_o place_n be_v read_v without_o all_o doubt_n in_o the_o time_n of_o hierome_n for_o those_o copy_n which_o be_v print_v at_o this_o day_n have_v it_o otherwise_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o this_o difference_n come_v through_o the_o error_n of_o the_o writer_n which_o write_v out_o the_o book_n and_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o such_o weight_n for_o which_o luke_n ought_v to_o have_v trouble_v the_o gentile_n which_o be_v accustom_v with_o the_o greek_a read_v and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o he_o himself_o do_v put_v down_o the_o true_a number_n &_o that_o some_o man_n do_v correct_v the_o same_o amiss_o out_o of_o that_o place_n of_o moses_n for_o we_o know_v that_o those_o which_o have_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o hand_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n yet_o skilful_a in_o the_o greek_a therefore_o to_o the_o end_n e_o the_o word_n of_o steeven_n may_v agree_v with_o the_o place_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o that_o false_a number_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o greek_a translation_n of_o genesis_n be_v by_o they_o put_v in_o also_o in_o this_o place_n concern_v which_o if_o any_o man_n contend_v more_o stubborn_o let_v we_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v wise_a without_o measure_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o paul_n do_v forbid_v we_o to_o be_v too_o curious_a about_o genealogy_n this_o so_o small_a a_o number_n be_v purposely_o express_v to_o
