vossius_fw-la recite_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o ancient_n who_o think_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o entitle_v mary_n to_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n because_o she_o marry_v into_o that_o tribe_n therefore_o he_o prove_v mary_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o tribe_n with_o joseph_n because_o numb_a 36.6_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o virgin_n to_o marry_v out_o of_o her_o own_o tribe_n

therefore_o have_v no_o brother_n be_v marry_v to_o joseph_n who_o be_v of_o near_a consanguinity_n with_o she_o genealogy_n see_v vossius_n genealogy_n and_o he_o prove_v the_o same_o descent_n of_o

by_o which_o they_o be_v induce_v to_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n know_v also_o that_o he_o descend_v of_o david_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o gospel_n teach_v and_o
