their_o torment_n so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v a_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o letter_n wherein_o the_o jew_n be_v defective_a neither_o do_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o revelation_n stop_v here_o but_o we_o may_v consider_v in_o the_o second_o place_n 2._o the_o public_a promulgation_n of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n and_o the_o seal_v it_o carry_v of_o a_o universal_a publishing_n answerable_a to_o the_o majesty_n of_o he_o that_o come_v to_o set_v up_o a_o universal_a kingdom_n behold_v the_o sentence_n of_o divine_a wrath_n be_v before_o hide_v with_o the_o jew_n but_o now_o the_o
