the_o old_a but_o they_o stand_v in_o great_a need_n of_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v to_o learn_v that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o ceremony_n but_o in_o

neighbour_n we_o must_v understand_v all_o man_n in_o general_n the_o other_o thing_n the_o jew_n want_v then_o be_v to_o know_v certain_o that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a life_n and_o that_o god_n will_v reward_v good_a man_n and_o punish_v the_o wicked_a after_o this_o life_n the_o jew_n entertain_v a_o most_o pernicious_a error_n concern_v the_o first_o thing_n viz._n that_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o ceremony_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n man_n can_v do_v to_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n whereas_o those_o ceremony_n be_v but_o some_o law_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o out_o of_o condescension_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o separate_v from_o other_o nation_n until_o a_o certain_a time_n as_o it_o appear_v from_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o experience_n beside_o the_o roman_n be_v then_o ready_a to_o deprive_v they_o of_o a_o small_a remainder_n of_o liberty_n which_o they_o enjoy_v and_o to_o take_v from_o they_o the_o mean_n of_o preserve_v their_o temple_n it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o the_o jew_n shall_v know_v that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a loss_n see_v they_o will_v be_v no_o less_o acceptable_a to_o god_n by_o worship_v he_o only_o and_o obey_v

they_o be_v forbid_v before_o to_o converse_v familiar_o with_o they_o as_o long_o as_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n shall_v subsist_v but_o after_o its_o total_a destruction_n there_o be_v no_o

reward_n and_o punishment_n it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v ground_v that_o belief_n upon_o a_o new_a foundation_n the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o clear_o enough_o upon_o that_o point_n and_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o their_o write_n but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o several_a consequence_n and_o those_o sometime_o extreme_o nice_a that_o doctrine_n be_v not_o express_o
