saint_n joh._n say_v the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o moses_n the_o which_o law_n have_v only_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o shall_v follow_v but_o grace_n &_o verity_n by_o jesus_n

will_n he_o say_v be_v very_o false_a for_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o figuratyve_a sacryfyce_n offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n by_o death_n &_o passion_n be_v prefygure_v &_o be_v the_o verity_n of_o the_o tipical_a oblation_n of_o melchisedech_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v &_o plain_o say_v the_o christ_n in_o the_o oblation_n make_v upon_o the_o cross_n by_o the_o effusion_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n fulfyl_v rather_o the_o bloody_a sacryfice_n of_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v the_o effusyon_n of_o beast_n blood_n &_o in_o the_o

i_o beseech_v the_o diligent_a reader_n expend_v &_o way_n well_o the_o word_n of_o david_n whereupon_o the_o dysputation_n of_o saint_n paul_n be_v ground_v there_o by_o thou_o shall_v ꝑceave_v
