be_v near_a to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o speak_v what_o i_o think_v i_o can_v beeleve_v that_o s._n paul_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o great_a likelihood_n to_o say_v as_o some_o do_v that_o he_o suppress_v his_o name_n of_o set_a purpose_n because_o it_o be_v odious_a and_o hateful_a among_o the_o jew_n and_o if_o this_o have_v be_v so_o why_o then_o

the_o manner_n of_o teach_v as_o also_o his_o style_n do_v give_v apparent_a testimony_n that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o s._n paul_n writing_n but_o of_o some_o other_o man_n do_v for_o he_o which_o write_v it_o confess_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n that_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o disciple_n of_o the_o apostle_n now_o this_o be_v very_o far_o off_o from_o saint_n paul_n manner_n of_o speech_n moreover_o the_o use_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o catechism_n which_o he_o touch_v in_o the_o six_o chapter_n can_v proper_o agree_v to_o saint_n paul_n time_n there_o be_v also_o other_o reason_n which_o we_o will_v touch_v when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o place_n that_o give_v occasion_n thereof_o i_o know_v the_o excuse_n very_o well_o which_o some_o be_v wont_a to_o bring_v touch_v the_o style_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o difference_n thereof_o do_v give_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o stay_v our_o judgement_n upon_o because_o that_o s._n luk_n or_o some_o other_o do_v translate_v this_o epistle_n out_o of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n into_o the_o greek_a but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o refute_v this_o their_o conjecture_n i_o willing_o let_v pass_v other_o place_n which_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n only_o i_o say_v that_o if_o this_o epistle_n have_v be_v write_v in_o hebrew_n there_o can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o allusion_n in_o this_o word_n testament_n whereupon_o the_o author_n of_o this_o epistle_n do_v stay_v himself_o i_o say_v then_o that_o which_o he_o handle_v touch_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o testament_n in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n can_v be_v draw_v out_o of_o any_o other_o fountain_n then_o from_o the_o greek_a word_n for_o the_o greek_a word_n signify_v two_o thing_n to_o wit_n testament_n and_o covenant_n but_o berith_n after_o the_o hebrew_n signify_v covenant_n only_o this_o reason_n will_v satisfy_v those_o that_o be_v of_o sound_a judgement_n to_o prove_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v to_o wit_n that_o this_o epistle_n be_v write_v in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n as_o touch_v that_o which_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o write_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o in_o their_o own_o tongue_n this_o have_v no_o more_o ground_n than_o the_o rest_n how_o few_o be_v then_o to_o be_v find_v which_o understand_v the_o language_n of_o their_o ancestor_n again_o according_a to_o the_o region_n where_o every_o one_o dwell_v so_o have_v he_o also_o learned_a the_o language_n of_o the_o same_o now_o the_o greek_a tongue_n be_v spread_v further_a abroad_o and_o be_v more_o in_o use_n then_o any_o other_o i_o therefore_o come_v now_o to_o the_o argument_n itself_o first_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v that_o the_o point_n whereat_o the_o apostle_n aim_v be_v not_o to_o persuade_v the_o jew_n that_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o marie_n be_v
&_o in_o die_v may_v redeem_v we_o from_o death_n this_o place_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v well_o observe_v because_o it_o not_o only_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n his_o humane_a nature_n

for_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o can_v not_o die_v now_o howsoever_o he_o touch_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n but_o in_o few_o word_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o these_o few_o he_o do_v express_v
