and_o unto_o he_o shall_v the_o gather_n of_o the_o people_n be_v this_o place_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o depart_n of_o the_o sceptre_n for_o a_o time_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n which_o because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o short_a time_n and_o the_o sceptre_n be_v restore_v again_o it_o be_v not_o think_v to_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o prophecy_n but_o now_o see_v the_o sceptre_n be_v depart_v and_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v gather_v unto_o christ_n who_o shall_v doubt_v of_o the_o accomplishment_n thereof_o and_o so_o that_o sceptre_n can_v be_v restore_v unto_o the_o jew_n answer_n what_o not_o restore_v do_v jacob_n prophecy_n then_o foreshow_v that_o the_o sceptre_n shall_v no_o more_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o jew_n after_o christ_n come_n or_o do_v it_o foreshow_v only_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o depart_v till_o christ_n come_n certain_o it_o foreshow_v this_o last_o thing_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o jacob_n prophecy_n have_v no_o affinity_n with_o your_o argument_n and_o in_o say_v that_o the_o sceptre_n be_v depart_v from_o judah_n in_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n you_o plain_o contradict_v jacob_n prophecy_n which_o say_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o judah_n till_o shiloh_n come_v and_o as_o this_o prophecy_n show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o depart_v till_o then_o so_o other_o do_v show_v that_o it_o be_v to_o return_v again_o as_o that_o of_o hos_n 4.5_o which_o show_v that_o the_o israelite_n shall_v abide_v many_o day_n but_o not_o always_o without_o a_o king_n

king_n and_o our_o saviour_n reign_v over_o they_o do_v witness_v the_o restore_n of_o the_o sceptre_n and_o saint_n paul_n application_n of_o that_o prophecy_n rom._n 11.26_o do_v show_v when_o the_o sceptre_n be_v to_o be_v restore_v to_o wit_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n shall_v come_v in_o for_o than_o he_o say_v all_o israel_n shall_v be_v save_v as_o it_o be_v write_v there_o
