will_v you_o not_o be_v a_o weary_a with_o nice_a point_n of_o genealogy_n if_o i_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n which_o julian_n the_o apostate_n make_v against_o the_o kindred_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o house_n of_o david_n no_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v wearisome_a because_o i_o will_v be_v very_o brief_a that_o renegado_n from_o the_o faith_n do_v thus_o argue_v that_o joseph_n be_v but_o the_o repute_a father_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o his_o pedigree_n draw_v up_o to_o abraham_n in_o st._n matthew_n draw_v up_o to_o adam_n in_o st._n luke_n concur_v both_o in_o joseph_n but_o since_o the_o parentage_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n be_v not_o express_v who_o very_a son_n the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n take_v these_o ground_n in_o order_n to_o satisfy_v you_o first_o that_o the_o pharisee_n in_o the_o gospel_n labour_v by_o all_o mean_v not_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o the_o messiah_n yet_o never_o make_v any_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o david_n second_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n matthew_n and_o saint_n luke_n be_v publish_v while_o the_o pharisee_n domineer_v and_o have_v great_a authority_n yet_o they_o never_o quarrel_v at_o the_o evangelist_n as_o if_o their_o genealogy_n have_v not_o sufficient_o demonstrate_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n three_o although_o you_o find_v joseph_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o both_o genealogy_n marvel_n not_o at_o it_o for_o st._n hierom_n say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o context_n a_o pedigree_n by_o the_o mother_n if_o he_o mean_v that_o pedigree_n of_o long_a descent_n such_o as_o these_o be_v not_o deduce_v from_o the_o female_a stem_n it_o be_v very_o true_a but_o four_a i_o answer_v that_o in_o all_o likelihood_n the_o pedigree_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o three_o of_o st._n luke_n rise_v up_o from_o the_o holy_a virgin_n his_o mother_n thus_o i_o make_v it_o evident_a in_o the_o first_o of_o matthew_n joseph_n the_o carpenter_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o jacob_n now_o certain_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o jacob_n for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v jacob_n beget_v joseph_n in_o st._n luke_n after_o our_o read_n he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o heli_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o heli_n be_v his_o father_n if_o jacob_n beget_v he_o not_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o law_n three_o way_n 1._o by_o adoption_n so_o esther_n be_v mordecai_n his_o adopt_a daughter_n and_o st._n austin_n do_v once_o opine_n that_o joseph_n be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o jacob_n and_o the_o adopt_a son_n of_o heli_n this_o may_v reconcile_v the_o seem_a contradiction_n of_o the_o two_o evangelist_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o julian_n objection_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o legal_a way_n peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o deut._n twenty-five_o if_o a_o man_n die_v without_o issue_n
