both_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o of_o the_o people_n which_o do_v plain_o prove_v that_o by_o one_o common_a doctrine_n they_o acknowledge_v all_o to_o be_v sinner_n and_o to_o

neither_o they_o nor_o their_o father_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v this_o burden_n be_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v more_o intolerable_a to_o other_o then_o to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n for_o they_o be_v most_o of_o they_o priest_n and_o levite_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v their_o tithe_n first_o fruit_n and_o offering_n to_o jerusalem_n as_o do_v other_o from_o all_o quarter_n round_o about_o for_o they_o dwell_v at_o or_o about_o jerusalem_n especial_o those_o who_o christ_n rebuke_v or_o else_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o minister_v in_o their_o course_n and_o they_o take_v tithe_n and_o pay_v none_o 29._o save_v only_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o tithe_n that_o be_v bring_v they_o they_o do_v very_o straight_o look_v to_o their_o tenthes_o and_o to_o

allege_v a_o more_o likely_a proof_n than_o these_o out_o of_o the_o roman_n namely_o that_o israel_n seek_v not_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o have_v stumble_v at_o the_o stumble_a stone_n for_o answer_v hereto_o we_o show_v before_o that_o the_o israelite_n make_v a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n even_o till_o the_o time_n that_o he_o plain_o show_v himself_o and_o then_o they_o reject_v he_o and_o yet_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v still_o to_o come_v their_o faith_n become_v as_o no_o faith_n they_o believe_v in_o a_o messiah_n which_o be_v to_o come_v but_o they_o stumble_v at_o he_o which_o be_v come_v and_o so_o he_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o stumble_a stone_n and_o rock_n of_o offence_n and_o so_o this_o word_n as_o or_o as_o it_o be_v be_v well_o add_v of_o paul_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o doctrine_n and_o profession_n be_v not_o open_o nor_o direct_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o bare_a law_n but_o by_o their_o rebellion_n against_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o and_o as_o they_o term_v it_o indirect_o so_o as_o it_o be_v they_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n when_o they_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n without_o the_o christ_n that_o be_v come_v though_o not_o simple_o without_o the_o christ_n they_o look_v for_o yea_o they_o ●eleeved_v that_o the_o ceremony_n do_v still_o offer_v and_o represent_v christ_n unto_o they_o &_o so_o make_v profession_n that_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v to_o keep_v their_o faith_n and_o belief_n in_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v refuse_v christ_n come_v already_o and_o christ_n have_v abolish_v that_o law_n they_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o seek_v righteousness_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o doctrine_n &_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o have_v righteousness_n and_o atonement_n by_o christ_n who_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v signify_v but_o their_o deed_n and_o practice_n in_o refuse_v christ_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n now_o those_o which_o refuse_v christ_n 13._o and_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o 40._o be_v utter_o separate_v as_o be_v show_v before_o from_o the_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o this_o matter_n be_v altogete_a against_o he_o 9_o as_o for_o that_o place_n of_o luke_o he_o abuse_v it_o too_o much_o for_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o pharisee_v which_o speak_v of_o matter_n as_o though_o they_o be_v when_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v not_o he_o allege_v for_o proof_n of_o all_o the_o pharisee_n doctrine_n first_o the_o fault_n of_o one_o pharisee_v if_o he_o have_v be_v faulty_a can_v not_o prove_v they_o all_o faulty_a then_o also_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o fault_n do_v show_v it_o to_o be_v no_o fault_n commit_v but_o imagine_v or_o suppose_v as_o if_o it_o be_v commit_v thirdlye_o christ_n in_o that_o place_n mind_v not_o to_o rebuke_v any_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o speak_v a_o parable_n unto_o certain_a which_o trust_v in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v just_a and_o despise_v other_o none_o be_v name_v to_o teeche_v any_o such_o doctrine_n but_o certain_a be_v rebuke_v for_o trust_v in_o themselves_o wherefore_o the_o like_a proof_n to_o this_o may_v i_o allege_v against_o he_o namely_o that_o very_o many_o in_o england_n both_o preacher_n and_o other_o do_v trust_n in_o their_o riches_n or_o power_n or_o wisdom_n or_o good_a work_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o the_o preacher_n in_o england_n do_v teach_v man_n to_o trust_v in_o themselves_o but_o as_o this_o proof_n be_v fond_a so_o the_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v be_v according_a for_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v as_o lawful_a and_o good_a as_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o scribe_n which_o teach_v untrue_o say_v he_o in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n although_o he_o can_v prove_v such_o untrue_a doctrine_n yet_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o their_o ministry_n which_o fail_v in_o all_o point_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o which_o fail_v but_o in_o some_o point_n for_o the_o dumb_a minister_n we_o prove_v to_o have_v no_o part_n nor_o work_n in_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o scribe_n he_o confess_v before_o to_o sit_v in_o moses_n seat_n to_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n to_o have_v a_o call_n by_o the_o church_n again_o they_o must_v needs_o edify_v more_o which_o preach_v much_o truth_n than_o they_o which_o be_v no_o preacher_n at_o all_o but_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a that_o if_o any_o preach_v much_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v preach_v heresy_n withal_o they_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v as_o it_o be_v write_v 10._o reject_v he_o that_o be_v a_o heretic_n 18._o after_o once_o or_o twice_o admonition_n and_o though_o the_o church_n be_v to_o admonish_v such_o yet_o if_o it_o will_v not_o or_o can_v not_o than_o any_o man_n particular_o have_v this_o liberty_n to_o admonish_v except_o for_o his_o scornfulness_n and_o obstinacy_n he_o be_v unworthy_a and_o then_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o receive_v they_o to_o house_n 10._o or_o

be_v the_o leprous_a man_n command_v to_o communicate_v in_o that_o manner_n for_o they_o be_v of_o the_o brethren_n as_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o text_n with_o who_o paul_n do_v contribute_v in_o that_o matter_n of_o purify_n and_o it_o be_v write_v that_o a_o great_a company_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v obedient_a to_o the_o faith_n 7._o and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o apostle_n make_v choice_n of_o the_o priest_n as_o they_o do_v of_o those_o four_o brethren_n with_o who_o paul_n do_v contribute_v &_o other_o priest_n beside_o the_o high_a priest_n may_v accomplish_v the_o common_a service_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n 7._o hebrew_n 9_o if_o they_o say_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n be_v sanctify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o wicked_a high_a priest_n we_o deny_v it_o for_o the_o believer_n do_v know_v that_o christ_n the_o high_a priest_n be_v come_v already_o and_o therefore_o in_o his_o name_n they_o take_v the_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o other_o priest_n moreover_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o do_v not_o communicate_v neither_o offer_v any_o offering_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v it_o and_o be_v let_v by_o the_o uproar_n before_o the_o day_n of_o purify_n be_v end_v 18._o and_o it_o seem_v that_o paul_n know_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o prophecy_n that_o go_v on_o they_o 23._o that_o such_o a_o uproar_n shall_v fall_v out_o 11._o and_o therefore_o also_o know_v that_o the_o offering_n shall_v be_v let_v if_o here_o again_o they_o object_n that_o the_o sacrifice_n themselves_o be_v fulfil_v in_o christ_n and_o also_o abrogate_v and_o yet_o for_o the_o church_n sake_n be_v tolerate_v i_o ask_v they_o what_o they_o will_v gather_v hereby_o or_o what_o vantage_n they_o will_v take_v against_o we_o forsooth_o they_o will_v justify_v thereby_o a_o tollerate_n of_o our_o horrible_a abuse_n and_o disorder_n but_o how_o can_v they_o by_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n command_v warrant_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n never_o command_v again_o they_o be_v foul_o deceive_v as_o touch_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n first_o because_o they_o think_v the_o accomplish_n or_o fulfil_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o be_v a_o present_a and_o utter_a abolish_n thereof_o without_o a_o certain_a testimony_n and_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n that_o it_o be_v abolish_v second_o for_o that_o they_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n disannul_v and_o the_o forbid_v thereof_o be_v disannul_v also_o between_o the_o act_n and_o manner_n of_o abrogate_a the_o law_n &_o the_o law_n already_o abrogate_a also_o because_o they_o will_v have_v the_o new_a law_n stand_v in_o force_n before_o it_o can_v be_v due_o proclaim_v and_o receive_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o old_a and_o so_o to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v disannul_v 13._o be_v ready_a to_o vanish_v away_o whereby_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o it_o can_v not_o at_o once_o be_v take_v away_o it_o be_v accomplish_v &_o fulfil_v in_o christ_n yea_o it_o be_v also_o abolish_v in_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n yet_o by_o degree_n and_o measure_n it_o be_v abolish_v and_o take_v from_o the_o body_n wherefore_o it_o be_v vanish_v and_o yet_o not_o utter_o vanish_v 7._o it_o stand_v in_o some_o force_n because_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o proclaim_v and_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v 7._o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n by_o these_o word_n to_o day_n he_o appoint_v a_o certain_a time_n say_v the_o apostle_n &_o so_o he_o show_v that_o time_n to_o be_v appoint_v for_o receive_v the_o further_o &_o better_a promise_n also_o a_o better_a testament_n &_o a_o better_a profession_n they_o be_v the_o former_a so_o that_o we_o see_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o hold_v still_o their_o ceremony_n &_o sacrifice_n 18._o till_o they_o may_v sure_o know_v the_o first_o commandment_n to_o be_v disannul_v because_o of_o the_o weakness_n thereof_o for_o what_o faithful_a subject_n will_v forsake_v the_o old_a law_n of_o his_o prince_n till_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o new_a law_n be_v proclaim_v which_o abrogate_v the_o old_a 16._o indeed_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o new_a law_n take_v place_n and_o be_v establish_v at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n proove_v yet_o by_o degree_n it_o take_v place_n in_o the_o church_n as_o christ_n also_o teach_v where_o he_o say_v 3._o and_o i_o if_o i_o be_v lift_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n will_v draw_v all_o man_n unto_o i_o mean_v that_o at_o his_o death_n he_o establish_v a_o new_a law_n and_o testament_n by_o which_o man_n shall_v be_v draw_v unto_o he_o not_o that_o they_o be_v draw_v at_o once_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o all_o together_o for_o the_o veil_n or_o cover_n of_o the._n 15._o old_a testament_n be_v first_o to_o be_v take_v away_o by_o this_o veil_n no_o doubt_n paul_n mean_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o jew_n whereby_o they_o do_v cleave_v so_o much_o to_o the_o old_a law_n &_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o another_o place_n 7._o that_o he_o will_v destroy_v in_o this_o mountain_n the_o cover_n that_o cover_v all_o people_n and_o the_o veil_n that_o be_v spread_v upon_o all_o nation_n for_o the_o temple_n that_o stand_v on_o the_o mountain_n with_o the_o ordinance_n thereof_o be_v as_o a_o veil_n to_o blind_a the_o heart_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o dwell_v among_o all_o nation_n and_o therefore_o christ_n do_v foreshewe_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n 2._o which_o come_v to_o pass_v about_o forty_o year_n after_o 21._o a_o great_a part_n of_o which_o time_n it_o be_v still_o permit_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o hold_v the_o old_a ceremony_n if_o they_o object_v that_o the_o veil_n of_o blindness_n be_v sin_n and_o therefore_o to_o hold_v the_o ceremony_n be_v sin_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v no_o veil_n of_o blindness_n to_o those_o that_o be_v willing_a ready_a and_o forward_o to_o receive_v the_o new_a law_n and_o testament_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v if_o again_o they_o object_n that_o their_o willingness_n and_o forwardness_n appear_v not_o see_v the_o gentile_n so_o quick_o reject_v the_o old_a law_n and_o they_o in_o so_o long_a time_n reject_v it_o not_o we_o answer_v that_o all_o the_o believe_a jew_n do_v straightway_o reject_v it_o in_o part_n though_o not_o whole_o but_o some_o of_o they_o also_o reject_v it_o whole_o even_o in_o short_a time_n yet_o they_o be_v but_o few_o and_o no_o marvel_n for_o the_o gentile_n have_v never_o receive_v the_o old_a law_n and_o therefore_o may_v the_o more_o ready_o embrace_v the_o ●●we_n but_o the_o jew_n be_v always_o zealous_a of_o the_o old_a law_n 20._o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o so_o sudden_o be_v reclaim_v from_o their_o former_a zeal_n further_o that_o distinction_n or_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o act_n and_o manner_n of_o do_v any_o thing_n 8._o and_o the_o deed_n already_o do_v appear_v by_o that_o place_n in_o the_o hebrew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n in_o which_o word_n the_o act_n do_v be_v put_v for_o the_o do_v thereof_o for_o yet_o we_o see_v not_o say_v the_o author_n all_o thing_n subdue_v unto_o he_o but_o the_o work_n be_v in_o haude_v as_o it_o be_v it_o be_v do_v and_o prosper_v till_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v subdue_v even_o so_o we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o old_a law_n be_v abolish_v or_o take_v away_o at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v it_o be_v in_o abolish_n or_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o vanish_v away_o and_o to_o be_v utter_o abolish_v yea_o in_o christ_n the_o head_n it_o be_v abolish_v and_o in_o the_o member_n also_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v abolish_v 5._o and_o therefore_o paul_n give_v this_o distinction_n that_o some_o brethren_n be_v weak_a in_o faith_n and_o be_v not_o yet_o persuade_v in_o their_o mind_n that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v abolish_v 14._o other_o have_v knowledge_n now_o paul_n reason_v 23._o that_o in_o such_o matter_n concern_v the_o observation_n of_o such_o ceremony_n every_o man_n faith_n or_o knowledge_n must_v be_v his_o rule_n for_o to_o he_o that_o judge_v any_o thing_n unclean_a to_o he_o it_o be_v unclean_a therefore_o he_o that_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o such_o matter_n against_o his_o knowledge_n or_o conscience_n he_o sin_v for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n or_o knowledge_n be_v sin_n say_v paul_n so_o then_o our_o answer_n be_v true_a that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v not_o utter_o to_o be_v remove_v but_o by_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o full_a abrogation_n

good_a thing_n they_o offer_v unto_o we_o that_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v not_o well_o yield_v unto_o the_o ground_n hereof_o i_o take_v from_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o answer_n that_o for_o
