A17009	A treatise of Melchisedek prouing him to be Sem, the father of all the sonnes of Heber, the fyrst king, and all kinges glory: by the generall consent of his owne sonnes, by the continuall iudgement of ages, and by plentifull argumentes of scripture.

if_o it_o may_v be_v receive_v it_o will_v shake_v the_o certainty_n of_o scripture_n yet_o needful_a at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o confute_v of_o he_o 〈…〉_o for_o i_o have_v hear_v learned_a man_n

six_o hundred_o year_n and_o so_o the_o hebrew_n aye_o be_v but_o to_o conclude_v all_o europe_n where_o university_n have_v have_v hebrew_n and_o all_o our_o bibles_n in_o these_o west_n part_n that_o i_o have_v see_v english_a latin_a italian_a spanish_a french_a duch._n etc._n etc._n hebrew_n condemn_v epiphanius_n for_o this_o point_n as_o go_v about_o to_o shake_v the_o hebrew_n text_n the_o strong_a post_n of_o divine_a building_n in_o the_o same_o blame_n must_v they_o be_v wrap_v that_o use_v for_o their_o defence_n the_o authority_n and_o testimony_n of_o his_o conclusion_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o turn_v against_o he_o that_o which_o he_o chief_o lean_v upon_o in_o his_o outward_a show_n now_o that_o melchisedek_n be_v not_o a_o chanaanite_n two_o point_n be_v handle_v
