for_o about_o 45_o year_n since_o i_o have_v a_o public_a disputation_n against_o they_o and_o not_o rest_v there_o i_o do_v resolve_v to_o examine_v every_o mystery_n of_o faith_n and_o every_o

as_o bishop_n andrews_n bishop_n overall_n bishop_n mountain_n and_o other_o then_o i_o proceed_v to_o examine_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o miracle_n but_o especial_o the_o wonder_n which_o moses_n wrought_v in_o egypt_n whether_o they_o be_v sufficient_a assurance_n to_o the_o natural_a man_n for_o admit_v and_o introduce_v the_o moysaicall_a law_n i_o do_v likewise_o examine_v

then_o proceed_v to_o other_o mystery_n and_o i_o do_v examine_v the_o several_a vision_n of_o scripture_n in_o daniel_n ezekiel_n the_o apocalypse_n how_o far_o they_o do_v agree_v together_o and_o how_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o vision_n to_o withdraw_v the_o jew_n from_o their_o carnal_a conceit_n and_o their_o expectation_n of_o temporal_n and_o after_o
