will_v not_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o any_o man_n but_o of_o his_o own_o son_n shed_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n my_o proposition_n then_o speak_v of_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o

neither_o be_v vain_a nor_o frustrate_a since_o they_o be_v thereto_o direct_v by_o god_n own_o appointment_n this_o proposition_n be_v you_o christian_a or_o jew_n you_o may_v not_o deny_v and_o therefore_o you_o do_v well_o to_o deny_v the_o assumption_n and_o to_o affirm_v that_o certain_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o namely_o the_o escape_n goat_n in_o the_o 16._o of_o leviticus_fw-la

as_o the_o text_n speak_v you_o abuse_v the_o text_n and_o deceive_v yourself_o the_o word_n be_v aaron_z 5._o shall_v take_v of_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n two_o he_o goat_n
