appeareth_z by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o second_o argument_n that_o the_o lamb_n the_o priest_n and_o the_o altar_n be_v type_n of_o christ_n see_v what_o

the_o two_o nature_n to_o be_v in_o one_o person_n if_o you_o can_v show_v we_o how_o you_o do_v it_o as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o three_o argument_n that_o your_o opinion_n do_v deny_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o that_o opinion_n that_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o true_a son_n of_o david_n deny_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n concern_v man_n salvation_n but_o such_o be_v your_o opinion_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n 2_o that_o opinion_n that_o deni_v the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o sacrament_n viz._n baptism_n &_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o dangerous_a opinion_n but_o such_o be_v your_o opinion_n therefore_o dangerous_a the_o reason_n of_o the_o minor_a proposition_n be_v because_o it_o deny_v the_o two_o nature_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v lively_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o these_o sacrament_n 1._o for_o as_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n institute_v worship_n as_o

representation_n of_o christ_n incarnate_a 2._o the_o divine_a essence_n or_o godhead_n in_o christ_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o all_o worship_n for_o christ_n say_v
