and_o absurdity_n 27_o q._n the_o follow_a testimony_n take_v out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n will_v they_o not_o be_v compare_v with_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v give_v a_o further_a

and_o most_o wise_a saviour_n most_o wise_o answer_v this_o question_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o allow_v that_o this_o possible_o may_v have_v be_v the_o cause_n which_o they_o propound_v and_o suppose_v

in_o the_o foregoing_a question_n it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o the_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n be_v not_o only_o know_v among_o the_o jew_n and_o acknowledge_v for_o a_o certain_a and_o

that_o he_o must_v lose_v his_o place_n do_v not_o he_o most_o crafty_o make_v provision_n for_o his_o future_a condition_n which_o he_o be_v in_o the_o prospect_n of_o conclude_v with_o himself_o to_o employ_v the_o small_a remainder_n of_o time_n he_o have_v leave_v in_o his_o employment_n in_o provide_v for_o and_o promote_a his_o own_o interest_n as_o he_o find_v will_v be_v most_o

be_v see_v at_o large_a in_o that_o parable_n in_o the_o 9th_o verse_n our_o saviour_n begin_v to_o open_v and_o declare_v his_o meaning_n and_o aim_n in_o this_o parable_n in_o these_o word_n and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o make_v unto_o yourselves_o friend_n of_o the_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n that_o when_o you_o fail_v they_o may_v receive_v you_o into_o everlasting_a habitation_n and_o afterward_o further_o express_v himself_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n now_o that_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o nine_o verse_n have_v occasion_v much_o trouble_n to_o the_o learned_a expositor_n
