of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n i_o do_v comprehend_v those_o and_o those_o only_o which_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v admit_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n and_o that_o i_o have_v no_o purpose_n at_o all_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o controversy_n which_o be_v betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o roman_a church_n about_o the_o book_n which_o be_v apocryphal_a the_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n have_v entertain_v they_o only_o into_o the_o canon_n be_v because_o they_o only_o be_v of_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o jew_n belief_n before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n they_o only_o be_v write_v in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n and_o consign_v by_o esdras_n at_o the_o return_n of_o the_o jew_n from_o the_o babylonish_a captivity_n as_o be_v general_o believe_v among_o the_o jewish_a rabbin_n while_o the_o prophet_n haggai_n zachary_n and_o malachy_n be_v yet_o alive_a now_o although_o the_o way_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o consider_v the_o question_n apart_o and_o by_o ic_fw-mi self_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o way_n whereby_o we_o do_v demonstrate_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o assert_v the_o author_n of_o they_o to_o have_v be_v those_o man_n to_o who_o they_o be_v evermore_o ascribe_v and_o from_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o thing_n deliver_v in_o matter_n of_o history_n and_o the_o character_n of_o those_o person_n who_o have_v deliver_v the_o several_a part_n of_o it_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v imagine_v why_o such_o man_n as_o those_o be_v and_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v shall_v deliver_v such_o imposture_n as_o those_o must_v be_v suppose_v they_o to_o be_v imposture_n that_o no_o end_n or_o motive_n can_v be_v

peace_n if_o they_o dare_v have_v conceal_v those_o thing_n from_o the_o world_n the_o reason_n from_o safety_n gain_n glory_n and_o the_o like_a as_o may_v either_o joint_o or_o several_o be_v demonstrate_v of_o even_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n which_o make_v up_o the_o great_a part_n moses_n together_o with_o the_o law_n have_v deliver_v likewise_o the_o shame_n of_o himself_o and_o miriam_n and_o aaron_n the_o prophet_n have_v be_v all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o hardly_o use_v which_o of_o the_o prophet_n have_v not_o your_o father_n persecute_v although_o i_o say_v this_o have_v be_v the_o natural_a way_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o matter_n in_o question_n take_v single_o and_o apart_o by_o itself_o yet_o partly_o to_o avoid_v the_o similitude_n of_o matter_n which_o render_v unpleasant_a even_o the_o most_o profitable_a discourse_n and_o partly_o to_o make_v a_o present_a dispatch_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o have_v put_v you_o thus_o in_o mind_n that_o all_o those_o general_a argument_n for_o the_o truth_n and_o credit_n of_o those_o writer_n be_v common_a to_o these_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o and_o that_o there_o need_v no_o variation_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o question_n now_o in_o hand_n any_o other_o than_o the_o interchange_n of_o their_o several_a name_n their_o personal_a relation_n and_o quality_n and_o other_o accident_n in_o a_o word_n that_o the_o kind_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o force_n of_o reason_n alike_o in_o both_o allow_v only_o the_o difference_n of_o gradual_a and_o individual_a circumstance_n this_o be_v premise_v the_o sum_n of_o what_o i_o shall_v further_o say_v be_v brief_o this_o that_o 1._o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n these_o book_n be_v true_a 2._o that_o since_o that_o time_n they_o have_v not_o be_v change_v from_o which_o two_o proposition_n it_o will_v
