sufficient_a because_o saint_n matthew_n say_v jechonias_n beget_v salathiel_n where_o indeed_o jechonias_n die_v without_o issue_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o jeremie_n the_o 22.30_o 22.30_o jerem._n 22.30_o and_o salathiel_n be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o neri_n as_o saint_n luke_n plain_o affirm_v and_o therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o say_v that_o jechonias_n beget_v salathiel_n be_v no_o more_o but_o to_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o jechonias_n die_v without_o heir_n appoint_v salathiel_n according_a to_o the_o law_n to_o succeed_v he_o and_o to_o be_v his_o lawful_a heir_n and_o therefore_o see_v all_o the_o posterity_n of_o solomon_n end_v in_o jechonias_n who_o right_a then_o pass_v unto_o salathiel_n which_o lineal_o descend_v of_o nathan_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n come_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n by_o nathan_n and_o not_o by_o solomon_n and_o this_o teach_v we_o 32._o psal_n 89_o i_o 32._o that_o if_o our_o

their_o right_n pass_v unto_o salathiel_n the_o son_n of_o neri_n as_o i_o have_v show_v unto_o you_o before_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v continue_v in_o god_n favour_n let_v we_o go_v on_o
