mountain_n 2._o because_o they_o call_v jacob_n father_n with_o a_o particular_a expression_n of_o reverence_n be_v thou_o great_a than_o our_o father_n jacob_n 3._o because_o a_o argument_n draw_v

have_v confess_v themselves_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v schismatic_n and_o apostate_n from_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n they_o have_v then_o expose_v themselves_o to_o that_o terrible_a objection_n from_o the_o jew_n where_o be_v your_o religion_n before_o salmaneser_n whereas_o now_o they_o can_v confident_o say_v to_o the_o jew_n themselves_o where_o be_v your_o religion_n before_o solomon_n when_o they_o think_v their_o own_o as_o ancient_a as_o their_o father_n jacob._n and_o no_o wonder_n that_o they_o shall_v call_v jacob_n father_n and_o pretend_v to_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o

consult_v their_o ease_n their_o interest_n or_o their_o humour_n revolt_v to_o their_o worship_n when_o they_o have_v once_o make_v a_o appearance_n of_o a_o church_n it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o the_o jew_n to_o worship_v new_a god_n and_o then_o much_o more_o may_v they_o worship_v he_o after_o a_o new_a fashion_n novelty_n be_v still_o delightful_a to_o this_o unstable_a people_n and_o they_o be_v always_o flexible_a to_o every_o evil_a way_n only_o stifnecked_a when_o they_o shall_v return_v unto_o the_o truth_n but_o if_o their_o calling_n jacob_n father_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o original_a with_o the_o jew_n yet_o we_o may_v well_o judge_v they_o be_v brethren_n by_o the_o wrong_n they_o do_v one_o to_o another_o no_o

perfect_a abhorrence_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o religion_n little_a as_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o other_o nation_n breed_v such_o a_o distance_n and_o strangeness_n in_o their_o conversation_n that_o though_o they_o slight_v all_o the_o world_n beside_o yet_o they_o only_o hate_v one_o another_o the_o jew_n account_v all_o nation_n as_o stranger_n to_o they_o but_o the_o samaritan_n as_o their_o enemy_n which_o show_v that_o they_o look_v not_o upon_o they_o as_o proselyte_n to_o their_o church_n but_o apostate_n from_o their_o communion_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o neighbourhood_n or_o correspondence_n among_o they_o which_o make_v the_o woman_n admire_v and_o say_v how_o be_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o jew_n ask_v water_n of_o i_o who_o be_o a_o

father_n that_o be_v the_o time_n be_v come_v when_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o necessary_o be_v confine_v either_o to_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n or_o to_o the_o mountain_n of_o samaria_n as_o you_o pretend_v but_o all_o place_n shall_v be_v indifferent_a unto_o god_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o all_o nation_n to_o appoint_v unto_o
