for_o they_o have_v stumble_v at_o the_o stumble_a stone_n for_o answer_v hereto_o we_o show_v before_o that_o the_o israelite_n make_v a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n even_o till_o the_o time_n that_o he_o plain_o show_v himself_o and_o then_o they_o reject_v he_o and_o yet_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v still_o to_o come_v their_o faith_n become_v as_o no_o faith_n

offence_n and_o so_o this_o word_n as_o or_o as_o it_o be_v be_v well_o add_v of_o paul_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o doctrine_n and_o profession_n be_v not_o open_o nor_o direct_o to_o seek_v

they_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n when_o they_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n without_o the_o christ_n that_o be_v come_v though_o not_o simple_o without_o the_o christ_n they_o look_v for_o yea_o they_o â—eleeved_v that_o the_o ceremony_n do_v still_o offer_v and_o represent_v christ_n unto_o they_o &_o so_o make_v profession_n that_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v to_o

who_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v signify_v but_o their_o deed_n and_o practice_n in_o refuse_v christ_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n now_o those_o which_o refuse_v

christ_n in_o that_o place_n mind_v not_o to_o rebuke_v any_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o speak_v a_o parable_n unto_o certain_a which_o trust_v
