exodus_fw-la where_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o establish_v his_o fi●st_n which_o be_v that_o old_a covenant_n with_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o old_a

with_o the_o blood_n of_o bullock_n goat_n and_o ram_n which_o be_v but_o tip_n of_o christ_n the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o shadow_n so_o he_o seal_v according_a to_o his_o usual_a manner_n this_o

this_o manner_n seal_v his_o covenant_n be_v this_o for_o that_o unto_o those_o people_n a_o will_n or_o a_o testament_n and_o a_o covenant_n be_v all_o of_o one_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o

which_o signify_v either_o a_o will_n or_o testament_n &_o also_o a_o covenant_n now_o we_o know_v that_o a_o testament_n or_o will_n and_o so_o a_o covenant_n be_v never_o ratify_v until_o the_o

that_o be_v dead_a can_v alter_v his_o will_n or_o covenant_n the_o lord_n therefore_o be_v immortal_a and_o therefore_o can_v not_o die_v that_o he_o may_v by_o the_o same_o unchangeable_a manner_n ratify_v and_o confirm_v his_o promise_n cause_v certain_a beast_n which_o represent_v his_o body_n as_o tip_n and_o figure_n of_o himself_o to_o be_v slay_v for_o he_o and_o in_o his_o stead_n until_o that_o christ_n himself_o who_o be_v above_o all_o thing_n god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o shall_v in_o his_o own_o person_n by_o his_o own_o death_n and_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o most_o

iniquity_n &_o so_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a peace_n as_o the_o angel_n speak_v to_o daniel_n in_o his_o nine_o chapter_n christ_n therefore_o by_o his_o death_n and_o bloodshedding_n have_v establish_v this_o new_a covenant_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v change_v for_o the_o man_n be_v dead_a as_o the_o apostle_n show_v to_o
