for_o it_o answer_v very_o well_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o cut_v off_o their_o enemy_n outward_o to_o establish_v their_o kingdom_n and_o outward_a worship_n so_o they_o be_v to_o uphold_v

they_o so_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v uphold_v otherwise_o but_o
all_o evil_a hence_o they_o say_v we_o vilify_v the_o scripture_n and_o set_v up_o our_o own_o imagination_n above_o they_o because_o we_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v not_o their_o talk_v or_o

serve_v their_o turn_n or_o justify_v they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o that_o they_o must_v know_v christ_n in_o they_o who_o they_o have_v crucify_v to_o be_v raise_v and_o to_o justify_v they_o and_o redeem_v they_o from_o their_o iniquity_n hence_o they_o say_v we_o deny_v the_o life_n death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n justification_n by_o his_o blood_n and_o remission_n of_o

to_o judge_v of_o the_o second_o hence_o they_o say_v that_o we_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n because_o when_o we_o hear_v they_o talk_v foolish_o of_o heaven_n and_o hell_n and_o
