where_o they_o be_v congregat_v and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o assembly_n he_o real_o declare_v the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o with_o out_o all_o doubt_n

testimony_n to_o prove_v the_o former_a point_n be_v take_v as_o i_o conceive_v out_o of_o psal_n 91.2_o because_o that_o psalm_n be_v so_o frequent_o apply_v to_o christ_n though_o this_o testimony_n

be_v what_o this_o make_v to_o the_o purpose_n of_o prove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v the_o brethren_n of_o christ_n the_o answer_n be_v it_o prove_v it_o direct_o though_o not_o immediate_o for_o see_v christ_n and_o the_o faithful_a have_v god_n for_o their_o god_n and_o for_o their_o confidence_n to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o therefore_o he_o and_o the_o faithful_a be_v of_o one_o

which_o be_v in_o he_o before_o but_o many_o time_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o desist_v from_o be_v propitious_a but_o continue_v pacify_v or_o appease_v towards_o we_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v pass_v by_o just_a cause_n of_o anger_n which_o otherwise_o he_o may_v have_v for_o thus_o god_n be_v ancient_o pacify_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n ordain_v by_o his_o law_n for_o it_o be_v no_o way_n likely_a that_o god_n be_v real_o angry_a with_o his_o people_n for_o those_o sin_n for_o which_o he_o grant_v a_o expiation_n under_o the_o law_n then_o when_o the_o people_n procure_v the_o timely_a

but_o when_o he_o administer_v his_o priestly_a office_n he_o withal_o execute_v the_o part_n of_o his_o kingly_a function_n wherefore_o he_o do_v not_o execute_v it_o actual_o in_o his_o death_n

what_o do_v this_o concern_v we_o and_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o instead_o of_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n christ_n say_v he_o will_v do_v or_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n

once_o only_a for_o he_o so_o offer_v that_o he_o never_o iterate_v his_o offering_n more_o second_o in_o that_o after_o his_o offering_n he_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n three_o that_o he_o continue_v his_o seat_n there_o for_o ever_o even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o these_o two_o latter_a particular_n be_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o former_a for_o because_o
