of_o dedication_n be_v here_o speak_v of_o 2._o by_o what_o warrant_v the_o jew_n do_v of_o old_a and_o christian_n do_v since_o dedicate_v place_n to_o god_n service_n 3._o how_o far_o forth_o and_o

of_o solomon_n temple_n the_o solemnity_n &_o magnificence_n whereof_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a 1_o kin._n 8._o the_o second_o be_v of_o the_o second_o temple_n rebuilt_a out_o of_o the_o ruin_n

two_o reason_n 1._o it_o not_o where_o appear_v that_o either_o of_o the_o two_o former_a feast_n be_v annual_o renew_v or_o observe_v any_o more_o than_o once_o but_o of_o the_o last_o we_o find_v

may_v be_v commemorate_a by_o a_o annual_a feast_n notwithstanding_o all_o record_n be_v silent_a in_o the_o case_n yet_o that_o this_o feast_n here_o speak_v of_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v further_a evident_a from_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n not_o omit_v by_o our_o evangelist_n and_n it_o be_v winter_n which_o punctual_o accord_v with_o

i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o ii_o by_o what_o warrant_v the_o jew_n do_v of_o old_a and_o christian_n do_v since_o dedicate_v place_n to_o god_n service_n and_o in_o order_n to_o our_o resolution_n hereof_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o premise_v and_o observe_v that_o both_o jew_n and_o christian_n do_v and_o have_v all_o along_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la erect_v and_o dedicate_v certain_a place_n for_o god_n public_a worship_n 1._o it_o be_v without_o dispute_n and_o general_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v many_o other_o place_n dedicate_v to_o god_n service_n beside_o the_o temple_n which_o from_o their_o religious_a assembly_n there_o hold_v they_o common_o call_v synagogue_n of_o these_o their_o own_o writer_n tell_v we_o there_o be_v 480_o in_o
