who_o be_v exalt_v by_o god_n from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n 2._o the_o second_o verity_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n who_o publish_v the_o law_n upon_o the_o mount_n be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o deity_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o can_v this_o author_n affirm_v it_o be_v deliver_v by_o angel_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n

that_o christ_n be_v a_o minister_n not_o of_o the_o umbratilous_a and_o terrene_a sanctuary_n but_o of_o the_o true_a and_o heavenly_a because_o if_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v

as_o a_o pattern_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o true_a and_o heavenly_a sanctuary_n and_o he_o cite_v the_o word_n wherein_o moses_n be_v command_v to_o make_v that_o ancient_a tabernacle_n and_o all_o
