lord_n the_o same_o be_v the_o first_o altar_n that_o he_o build_v unto_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o command_n of_o he_o of_o roll_v a_o stone_n to_o the_o place_n where_o the_o

be_v the_o patron_n of_o this_o opinion_n do_v not_o apprehend_v to_o be_v abolish_v by_o the_o fulfil_n of_o all_o those_o legal_a sacrifice_n in_o and_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n they_o consider_v further_o that_o god_n have_v appropriate_v the_o blood_n to_o himself_o which_o property_n and_o right_n of_o his_o they_o do_v not_o conceive_v he_o ever_o to_o have_v relinquish_v they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o kind_n of_o sacrilege_n to_o seed_n upon_o blood_n and_o therefore_o abstain_v from_o it_o upon_o the_o same_o pious_a principle_n upon_o which_o they_o will_v have_v abstain_v from_o rob_v of_o hospital_n or_o college_n or_o from_o pilfer_v the_o ornament_n of_o church_n and_o seize_v the_o revenue_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a state_n a_o sort_n of_o piety_n so_o

when_o the_o church_n be_v swallow_v up_o at_o one_o morsel_n and_o the_o kingdom_n at_o another_o when_o all_o that_o be_v sacred_a and_o devote_v to_o the_o service_n of_o almighty_a god_n be_v
