to_o terrene_a and_o temporal_a but_o the_o new_a unto_o celestial_a and_o eternal_a as_o be_v large_o declare_v before_o upon_o vers_n 16._o hence_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v say_v express_o heb._n 8.6_o that_o it_o be_v a_o better_a testament_n which_o be_v establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n but_o if_o between_o the_o old_a and_o the_o new_a there_o be_v no_o difference_n it_o can_v be_v true_o say_v of_o the_o new_a that_o it_o be_v a_o better_a testament_n because_o of_o two_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o difference_n neither_o can_v be_v better_o than_o the_o other_o this_o difference_n then_o between_o these_o two_o testament_n breed_v such_o a_o repugnancy_n between_o they_o that_o they_o can_v both_o subsist_v for_o when_o one_o and_o the_o same_o testator_n make_v different_a testament_n than_o the_o subsistence_n of_o either_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o subsistence_n and_o force_n of_o the_o other_o because_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n

if_o therefore_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v still_o in_o force_n or_o if_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o old_a to_o justify_v unto_o those_o better_a promise_n or_o if_o the_o right_a thereto_o come_v by_o the_o law_n then_o there_o have_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o make_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n why_o christ_n shall_v die_v to_o testify_v confirm_v and_o execute_v it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n first_o testament_n be_v faultless_a there_o can_v be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v make_v a_o second_o because_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o make_v a_o second_o be_v to_o

be_v the_o effect_n of_o either_o must_v be_v also_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o other_o then_o the_o first_o testament_n and_o the_o last_o must_v equal_o justify_v unto_o the_o same_o blessedness_n then_o the_o right_n thereto_o must_v come_v by_o the_o law_n and_o consequent_o christ_n die_v without_o cause_n for_o what_o cause_n can_v there_o be_v why_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o the_o last_o testament_n if_o the_o first_o stand_v still_o in_o force_n and_o can_v effect_v as_o much_o as_o the_o last_o but_o if_o no_o discreet_a man_n will_v make_v two_o testament_n that_o shall_v be_v
