jew_n be_v unclean_a in_o this_o induction_n we_o will_v note_v these_o five_o point_n 1_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n he_o begin_v with_o the_o jewish_a nation_n as_o with_o the_o vine_n which_o bring_v forth_o wild_a grape_n &_o not_o good_a grape_n that_o do_v he_o proceed_v unto_o the_o work_n of_o their_o hand_n that_o be_v unto_o their_o household_n and_o civil_a affair_n which_o serve_v

that_o the_o jew_n be_v unclean_a in_o respect_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o be_v they_o subject_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v here_o to_o note_v be_v that_o under_o these_o word_n nation_n and_o people_n the_o prophet_n comprehend_v the_o man_n of_o honour_n of_o mean_a estate_n and_o of_o low_a degree_n isaias_n the_o prophet_n in_o

to_o rebuke_v sinner_n without_o flattery_n or_o respect_n of_o person_n 3_o three_o we_o note_v that_o the_o work_n of_o our_o hand_n be_v unclean_a unless_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o prayer_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o david_n in_o the_o 90._o psalm_n pray_v thus_o let_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o direct_v the_o work_n of_o our_o
