therefore_o verse_n 34._o the_o people_n answer_v he_o we_o have_v hear_v in_o our_o law_n that_o christ_n bide_v for_o ever_o then_o how_o do_v thou_o say_v that_o he_o must_v be_v lift_v up_o that_o

that_o christ_n be_v perfect_a god_n who_o make_v all_o the_o world_n and_o that_o with_o a_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v able_a if_o he_o please_v with_o one_o word_n to_o make_v a_o thousand_o

3._o be_v gal._n 5._o 3._o our_o surety_n to_o pay_v to_o his_o father_n our_o debt_n of_o death_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a he_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o a_o thousand_o world_n because_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o they_o all_o his_o death_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o satisfactory_a to_o god_n justice_n and_o wrath_n then_o if_o all_o the_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v for_o man_n sin_n have_v suffer_v all_o the_o endless_a and_o numberless_a torment_n of_o hell_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o if_o
