will_v first_o begin_v with_o that_o of_o deut._n 13.4_o where_o moses_n bid_v they_o hearken_v unto_o the_o prophet_n who_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n shall_v raise_v up_o unto_o they_o from_o among_o their_o brethren_n whereby_o mahomet_n seem_v to_o be_v point_v at_o according_a to_o my_o apprehension_n jew._n i_o can_v allow_v of_o that_o for_o first_o although_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n

teach_v that_o there_o arise_v up_o many_o false_a prophet_n among_o they_o second_o to_o believe_v that_o moses_n promise_v mahomet_n as_o the_o only_a prophet_n to_o who_o they_o shall_v hearken_v be_v without_o any_o ground_n from_o moses_n word_n and_o rather_o a_o subversion_n of_o they_o as_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o end_n for_o which_o moses_n say_v a_o new_a prophet_n will_v come_v also_o if_o we_o examine_v the_o direction_n he_o give_v they_o to_o know_v if_o the_o prophet_n speak_v in_o the_o lord_n name_n or_o presumptuous_o first_o for_o the_o end_n of_o this_o prophet_n come_v moses_n know_v they_o desire_v god_n himself_o may_v not_o speak_v to_o they_o tell_v they_o that_o god_n will_v raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n put_v his_o word_n into_o his_o
