that_o malchisedeck_v bring_v bread_n and_o wine_n to_o abraham_n that_o he_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v be_v not_o considerable_a viz._n because_o abraham_n return_v from_o the_o battle_n with_o great_a spoil_n and_o so_o there_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n enough_o for_o he_o and_o his_o people_n and_o that_o they_o have_v take_v their_o repast_n before_o melchisedeck_v meet_v they_o etc._n etc._n these_o reason_n i_o say_v be_v inconsiderable_a because_o although_o abraham_n have_v great_a spoil_n yet_o he_o restore_v all_o to_o the_o king_n of_o sodom_n and_o though_o his_o people_n have_v eat_v and_o drink_v of_o such_o as_o they_o find_v among_o the_o spoil_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o abraham_n do_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o though_o both_o he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v eat_v and_o drink_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o say_v how_o long_o it_o be_v since_o and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o more_o provision_n and_o though_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o more_o yet_o melchisedek_n not_o know_v that_o they_o have_v eat_v and_o drink_v do_v that_o which_o prudent_a man_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v viz._n provide_v all_o that_o may_v be_v needful_a in_o case_n of_o necessity_n ans._n although_o these_o reason_n mounsieur_fw-fr in_o themselves_o be_v not_o to_o i_o i_o confess_v demonstrative_a and_o evident_o convince_a because_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o demonstrate_v thing_n so_o long_o pass_v with_o all_o their_o circumstance_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o as_o considerable_a as_o the_o reason_n you_o give_v to_o destroy_v they_o which_o be_v not_o also_o demonstrative_a or_o convince_a unless_o your_o bare_a word_n must_v be_v take_v for_o a_o demonstration_n or_o oracle_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o do_v consider_v your_o so_o manifold_a former_a lie_n blasphemy_n and_o absurdity_n yet_o if_o these_o reason_n be_v back_v and_o second_v by_o the_o unanimous_a
