chief_a pattern_n which_o be_v show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o mountain_n but_o if_o so_o be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n have_v a_o further_a end_n than_o that_o which_o be_v see_v with_o

worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o first_o we_o learn_v by_o this_o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o old_a be_v not_o forge_v by_o man_n brain_n neither_o do_v god_n mean_a to_o exercise_v his_o people_n therein_o as_o in_o sport_n fit_a for_o little_a child_n the_o tabernacle_n also_o be_v not_o build_v in_o vain_a as_o if_o it_o serve_v to_o no_o other_o purpose_n but_o only_o to_o draw_v the_o

and_o spiritual_a because_o moses_n be_v command_v to_o frame_v they_o all_o according_a to_o the_o first_o pattern_n which_o be_v heavenly_a therefore_o their_o opinion_n be_v too_o profane_a which_o say_v that_o the_o ceremony_n be_v only_o command_v to_o serve_v as_o a_o bridle_n for_o stay_v the_o inconstancy_n of_o the_o people_n lest_o they_o shall_v have_v go_v to_o seek_v out_o strange_a

that_o they_o be_v exercise_n to_o hold_v the_o people_n in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o mediator_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v over_o curious_a so_o as_o to_o seek_v out_o some_o high_a or_o profound_a mystery_n in_o every_o pin_n and_o in_o every_o small_a piece_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n as_o hesichius_n and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o ancient_a

this_o mean_v all_o service_n devise_v by_o man_n fall_v flat_a to_o the_o ground_n and_o those_o which_o some_o call_v sacrament_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v never_o ordain_v of_o god_n three_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a sign_n and_o sacrament_n in_o religion_n but_o those_o which_o be_v refer_v to_o christ_n but_o we_o be_v withal_o to_o take_v great_a

the_o mediator_n and_o ambassador_n of_o a_o better_a covenant_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v necessary_a because_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v turn_v from_o

the_o apostle_n say_v that_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o both_o moses_n and_o aaron_n shall_v give_v place_n to_o christ_n as_o to_o the_o more_o excellent_a because_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o more_o

their_o faith_n then_o must_v needs_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o same_o promise_n answer_n but_o this_o comparison_n of_o the_o apostle_n must_v be_v rather_o refer_v to_o the_o form_n than_o to_o
