pray_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o to_o pray_v on_o other_o day_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o main_a petition_n on_o this_o solemn_a day_n of_o humiliation_n that_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v the_o spirit_n of_o elias_n into_o your_o heart_n so_o that_o he_o will_v put_v the_o power_n of_o elias_n into_o your_o hand_n that_o as_o he_o have_v make_v you_o willing_a so_o will_v he_o also_o

last_o word_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o utter_v by_o a_o prophet_n here_o expound_v by_o a_o angel_n there_o conclude_v the_o law_n and_o here_o begin_v the_o gospel_n behold_v say_v malachi_n mal._n 4._o 5._o i_o will_v send_v you_o eliah_n the_o prophet_n and_o he_o say_v the_o angel_n shall_v go_v before_o he_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o elias_n and_o he_o shall_v turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n say_v the_o one_o and_o to_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n say_v the_o other_o thus_o sweet_o and_o near_o shall_v the_o two_o testament_n join_v together_o and_o thus_o divine_o will_v they_o kiss_v each_o other_o but_o that_o the_o wretched_a apocrypha_fw-la do_v thrust_v in_o between_o testament_n like_o the_o two_o *_o 27._o cherubin_n in_o the_o temple_n oracle_n as_o with_o their_o outer-wing_n they_o touch_v the_o two_o side_n of_o the_o house_n from_o in_o the_o beginning_n to_o come_v lord_n jesus_n so_o with_o their_o inner_a they_o will_v touch_v each_o other_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o this_o patchery_n of_o human_a

the_o bible_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n as_o to_o come_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o they_o both_o but_o to_o this_o wonderment_n there_o may_v be_v some_o satisfaction_n give_v namely_o because_o that_o these_o book_n come_v to_o they_o from_o among_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o new_a and_o because_o that_o the_o jew_n alone_o and_o alone_o so_o long_o have_v have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o divinity_n and_o religion_n among_o they_o the_o convert_a gentile_n can_v not_o but_o give_v their_o writing_n extraordinary_a esteem_n and_o because_o the_o talmud_n not_o be_v yet_o write_v the_o world_n be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o vanity_n and_o strain_n of_o jewish_a learning_n those_o insuspect_v time_n do_v swallow_v these_o

when_o the_o talmud_n be_v write_v and_o the_o impious_a and_o ridiculous_a doctrine_n and_o fable_n of_o the_o jewish_a school_n lay_v open_a to_o the_o world_n that_o then_o these_o book_n which_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v of_o the_o very_a same_o stamp_n in_o many_o thing_n shall_v not_o only_o not_o be_v refuse_v out_o the_o bible_n and_o out_o man_n good_a conceit_n but_o also_o get_v better_a and_o further_a foot_n in_o the_o same_o but_o to_o this_o wonderment_n some_o satisfaction_n also_o may_v be_v give_v namely_o that_o superstition_n begin_v then_o to_o grow_v in_o the_o church_n every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o and_o it_o become_v a_o religion_n to_o do_v as_o their_o forefather_n have_v do_v before_o and_o to_o retain_v what_o they_o have_v retain_v be_v it_o

in_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o and_o of_o so_o great_a import_n shall_v do_v as_o first_o ignorance_n and_o then_o superstition_n have_v do_v before_o they_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o they_o have_v refuse_v these_o book_n out_o of_o the_o canon_n but_o they_o have_v reserve_v they_o still_o in_o the_o bible_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v cast_v adam_n out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o happiness_n and_o yet_o have_v continue_v he_o in_o the_o place_n of_o happiness_n not_o to_o insist_v upon_o this_o which_o be_v some_o digression_n you_o know_v the_o counsel_n of_o sarah_n
