for_o so_o themselves_o style_v the_o advent_n of_o the_o messiah_n from_o isai_n 62.2_o 3._o and_o a_o ordinance_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v as_o for_o ever_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o first_o age_n

under_o the_o messiah_n and_o true_o we_o may_v in_o a_o manner_n say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o vilify_v and_o destroy_v by_o our_o lord_n any_o more_o than_o a_o house_n be_v when_o from_o be_v

to_o be_v a_o good_a explication_n of_o what_o i_o be_o now_o speak_v we_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v we_o think_v that_o when_o divine_a prophecy_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v they_o be_v vilify_v and_o

because_o he_o who_o it_o do_v prefigure_v have_v be_v present_a and_o live_v among_o we_o just_o as_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o prophecy_n cease_v when_o what_o be_v predict_v be_v come_v to_o
