the_o city_n of_o judah_n and_o teach_v the_o people_n whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o prince_n of_o judah_n that_o be_v not_o ordain_v minister_n preach_v the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o people_n with_o the_o levite_n a_o practice_n that_o those_o who_o in_o our_o day_n call_v themselves_o the_o tribe_n of_o levit_fw-la i_o can_v desire_v that_o they_o will_v press_v it_o upon_o

their_o ordination_n neither_o do_v the_o levite_n forbid_v any_o such_o thing_n so_o my_o think_v it_o will_v evidence_n a_o good_a heart_n in_o the_o levite_n of_o our_o time_n to_o press_v prince_n and_o people_n all_o that_o have_v gift_n to_o preach_v jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o people_n that_o the_o earth_n may_v be_v full_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n 2.14_o

of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n that_o be_v not_o ordain_v minister_n that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n take_v notice_n of_o yet_o they_o preach_v frequent_o and_o public_o and_o so_o it_o appear_v

and_o 61.1.2.3_o answ_n he_o that_o so_o say_v that_o they_o be_v extraordinary_o endue_v with_o gift_n speak_v the_o truth_n though_o to_o little_a or_o no_o purpose_n to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n for_o what_o be_v that_o to_o wit_n their_o extraordinary_a gift_n to_o the_o receive_a order_n and_o practice_v in_o the_o temple_n &_o synagogue_n among_o the_o jew_n that_o do_v not_o believe_v

and_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v apostles_n and_o so_o may_v preach_v because_o they_o have_v a_o office_n that_o do_v bind_v they_o to_o it_o answ_n i_o answer_v again_o that_o this_o be_v true_a but_o beside_o the_o matter_n do_v the_o jew_n look_v on_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v they_o look_v on_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n as_o desciple_n of_o christ_n 13.16_o mat._n

man_n will_v dare_v to_o affirm_v it_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v against_o it_o we_o find_v declare_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o jew_n look_v on_o christ_n with_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o say_v of_o he_o be_v not_o this_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o mary_n the_o carpenter_n son_n even_o of_o joseph_n nay_o be_v not_o this_o jesus_n the_o carpenter_n do_v they_o not_o hate_v and_o despise_v both_o he_o and_o his_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o
