a_o whole_a party_n of_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n shall_v be_v charge_v with_o the_o wickedness_n of_o some_o of_o the_o same_o party_n simeon_n and_o levi_n be_v guilty_a of_o a_o horrid_a and_o

thing_n to_o charge_v good_a old_a jacob_n with_o this_o bloody_a crime_n because_o he_o it_o as_o their_o father_n or_o to_o charge_v the_o rest_n of_o his_o son_n because_o they_o be_v simeon_n and_o levi's_fw-la brethren_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o they_o who_o be_v real_o guilty_a of_o any_o crime_n be_v charge_v with_o they_o and_o be_v prosecute_v so_o as_o to_o suffer_v just_o for_o they_o and_o beside_o this_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v innocent_a person_n have_v be_v accuse_v of_o high_a crime_n and_o have_v suffer_v death_n as_o for_o instance_n naboth_n be_v accuse_v that_o he_o have_v blaspheme_v god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n for_o it_o when_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o plot_n invent_v by_o jezebel_n and_o manage_v by_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o city_n where_o naboth_n dwell_v see_v 1_o king_n 21._o v._o 9_o 10_o 11._o and_o thus_o we_o find_v it_o concern_v our_o bless_a saviour_n he_o be_v accuse_v that_o he_o

and_o raise_v of_o a_o temple_n in_o three_o day_n see_v john_n 2._o v._o 19_o jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o destroy_v this_o temple_n and_o in_o three_o day_n i_o will_v raise_v it_o up_o v._o 21._o but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n thus_o we_o have_v two_o famous_a instance_n of_o false_a accusation_n concern_v word_n naboth_n be_v accuse_v of_o word_n that_o he_o never_o speak_v christ_n be_v accuse_v of_o some_o word_n he_o have_v speak_v but_o the_o accusation_n be_v not_o just_a as_o the_o word_n be_v speak_v for_o though_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o temple_n and_o destroy_v of_o it_o and_o raise_v of_o it_o he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o temple_n that_o be_v make_v with_o hand_n neither_o do_v he_o say_v that_o he_o himself_o will_v destroy_v any_o temple_n but_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n who_o he_o know_v will_v destroy_v his_o body_n and_o say_v to_o they_o destroy_v this_o temple_n and_o as_o for_o raise_v of_o it_o up_o that_o he_o say_v shall_v be_v his_o own_o work_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v it_o up_o in_o three_o day_n but_o he_o be_v prosecute_v for_o say_v he_o will_v destroy_v the_o temple_n of_o solomon_n and_o build_v it_o in_o three_o day_n when_o it_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o in_o our_o english_a chronicle_n it_o be_v stoir_v of_o a_o good_a housekeeper_n or_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o four_o
