he_o come_v to_o extirpate_v and_o drive_v out_o of_o the_o world_n how_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o speak_v evil_a of_o his_o name_n when_o christian_n lie_v and_o cozen_v and_o swear_v false_o by_o

for_o which_o no_o sacrifice_n will_v expiate_v with_o we_o and_o which_o heathen_a honesty_n abhor_v to_o hear_v of_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o in_o zeal_n to_o his_o glory_n if_o christ_n teach_v these_o thing_n he_o deserve_v all_o the_o reproach_n and_o curse_n which_o any_o jew_n can_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o where_o shall_v i_o be_v instruct_v in_o his_o doctrine_n for_o christian_n seem_v to_o think_v he_o do_v teach_v they_o furnish_v i_o i_o pray_v with_o some_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n in_o charity_n to_o this_o jew_n for_o your_o own_o credit_n
