john_n the_o baptist_n mat._n 11.14_o mark_v 9.11_o 12_o 13._o luke_n 1.16_o 17._o answ_n that_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o first_o day_n be_v not_o deny_v and_o that_o he_o come_v in_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o elias_n be_v as_o clear_v for_o as_o elias_n shall_v and_o do_v bear_v witness_n to_o and_o for_o the_o lord_n even_o so_o do_v john_n the_o baptist_n and_o so_o be_v a_o lively_a type_n of_o the_o elias_n which_o be_v to_o come_v for_o the_o type_n or_o figure_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v often_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o so_o we_o must_v understand_v christ_n word_n here_o where_o he_o say_v that_o elias_n be_v already_o come_v meaning_n john_n the_o baptist_n or_o otherwise_o we_o set_v christ_n word_n and_o john_n word_n one_o to_o contradict_v another_o for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n do_v no_o miracle_n and_o yet_o all_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o he_o be_v true_a john_n 10.41_o and_o john_n himself_o when_o the_o jew_n send_v priest_n and_o levite_n from_o jerusalem_n to_o he_o say_v who_o be_v thou_o be_v thou_o elias_n he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o elias_n john_n 1.19_o 20_o 21_o 22._o but_o he_o of_o who_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n speak_v of_o say_v i_o be_o the_o voice_n of_o one_o cry_v in_o the_o wilderness_n etc._n etc._n so_o then_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o john_n be_v a_o true_a prophet_n and_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o when_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o he_o whether_o he_o be_v the_o elias_n which_o be_v to_o come_v he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o elias_n from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o although_o john_n come_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o elias_n and_o be_v a_o type_n or_o figure_n of_o he_o and_o so_o may_v be_v call_v by_o

call_v cherubim_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o real_a cherubim_n but_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o cherubim_n or_o do_v only_o represent_v they_o so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o thing_n

his_o flesh_n with_o his_o eye_n and_o not_o other_o shall_v he_o see_v christ_n his_o redeemer_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n stand_v upon_o the_o earth_n who_o he_o shall_v behold_v for_o himself_o

the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v awake_v live_v and_o be_v raise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v reas_n 6._o six_o because_o daniel_n further_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o

in_o this_o text_n there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n considerable_a the_o first_o be_v that_o such_o as_o sleep_v shall_v awake_v and_o second_o the_o place_n where_o that_o they_o sleep_v and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o three_o that_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v spiritual_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o awake_v out_o of_o a_o state_n of_o a_o sleep_n of_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n because_o some_o of_o those_o that_o awake_v do_v awake_a to_o everlasting_a shame_n and_o contempt_n which_o can_v be_v take_v in_o a_o spiritual_a fence_n for_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n be_v so_o void_a of_o understanding_n as_o to_o think_v that_o such_o as_o awake_v out_o of_o sin_n and_o stand_v up_o from_o a_o spiritual_a death_n that_o they_o awake_v to_o everlasting_a shame_n and_o contempt_n but_o some_o of_o those_o that_o do_v awake_a daniel_n say_v do_v awake_a to_o everlasting_a shame_n and_o contempt_n which_o show_v that_o those_o that_o die_v and_o sleep_v in_o the_o dust_n that_o the_o very_a same_o shall_v arise_v again_o even_o that_o which_o sleep_v both_o of_o good_a and_o bad_a some_o to_o everlasting_a joy_n and_o some_o to_o shame_n and_o everlasting_a contempt_n which_o clear_o prove_v that_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o such_o as_o sleep_v in_o the_o earth_n shall_v even_o they_o themselves_o and_o not_o another_o arise_v and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o seven_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n which_o be_v reas_n 7._o seven_o because_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o dead_a in_o christ_n shall_v rise_v first_o now_o this_o can_v be_v mean_v spiritual_o first_o because_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n can_v be_v spiritual_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o second_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v that_o there_o may_v be_v dead_a branch_n in_o the_o vine_n john_n 15._o then_o i_o answer_v that_o such_o shall_v forthwith_o be_v cut_v out_o and_o have_v no_o privilege_n by_o christ_n but_o the_o dead_a in_o christ_n speak_v of_o both_o by_o saint_n paul_n and_o saint_n john_n have_v privilege_n by_o be_v dead_a in_o christ_n which_o mean_v the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o godly_a even_o such_o as_o live_v and_o die_v in_o christ_n shall_v arise_v a_o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o wicked_a as_o you_o may_v see_v 1_o thes_n 4.14_o 15_o 16._o compare_v with_o revel_n 20.5_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12._o and_o that_o this_o be_v no_o spiritual_a resurrection_n but_o a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n be_v plain_a because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n be_v a_o speak_n of_o in_o that_o place_n as_o you_o may_v read_v 1_o thes_n 4.13_o 14_o 15_o 16._o in_o these_o word_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a brethren_n concern_v they_o that_o be_v a_o sleep_n that_o you_o sorrow_n not_o even_o at_o other_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n for_o if_o

shall_v descend_v from_o heaven_n with_o a_o shout_n with_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o archangel_n and_o with_o the_o trump_n of_o god_n and_o the_o dead_a in_o christ_n shall_v rise_v first_o then_o we_o which_o be_v alive_a and_o remain_v shall_v be_v catch_v up_o together_o with_o they_o in_o the_o cloud_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o air_n and_o so_o shall_v be_v ever_o with_o the_o lord_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v clear_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n for_o say_v he_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o even_o so_o they_o also_o that_o sleep_n the_o even_o so_o impli_v that_o as_o jesus_n sleep_v and_o rise_v again_o even_o so_o shall_v we_o sleep_v and_o rise_v again_o and_o we_o may_v

whereas_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o he_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v with_o it_o

shall_v give_v a_o few_o reason_n here_o to_o prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reas_n 1._o because_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o

baptize_v namely_o plunge_v as_o you_o have_v affirm_v in_o your_o former_a book_n and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v cover_v as_o christ_n be_v in_o baptism_n reas_n 3._o and_o three_o it_o signify_v a_o burial_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 2.4_o col._n 2.12_o and_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v unless_o he_o be_v cover_v with_o

earth_n to_o cover_v he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v say_v you_o that_o person_n baptize_v must_v be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v cover_v be_v clear_a for_o his_o body_n be_v put_v into_o a_o new_a sepulchre_n and_o a_o stone_n roll_v against_o the_o door_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n for_o in_o that_o

the_o morning_n to_o the_o sepulchre_n although_o the_o stone_n be_v roll_v away_o from_o the_o mouth_n yet_o she_o be_v fain_o to_o stoop_v down_o to_o look_v into_o it_o to_o see_v whether_o she_o can_v see_v jesus_n imply_v that_o the_o earth_n cover_v he_o out_o of_o her_o sight_n but_o i_o need_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o prove_v that_o which_o be_v so_o clear_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v although_o i_o suppose_v you_o have_v forget_v it_o that_o as_o jonah_n be_v three_o day_n and_o three_o night_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n so_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v three_o day_n

take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o than_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a so_o to_o do_v can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v

reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o disciple_n viz._n believer_n be_v the_o subject_n that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v their_o step_n and_o now_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v baptize_v such_o read_z john_n 4.1_o when_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o the_o pharisee_n have_v hear_v that_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n than_o john_n though_o jesus_n baptize_v not_o but_o his_o disciple_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o jesus_n make_v disciple_n before_o he_o do_v baptize_v they_o and_o also_o we_o see_v it_o be_v the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n practise_v so_o to_o do_v as_o acts._n 8.12_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o samaritan_n do_v believe_v they_o be_v baptize_v man_n and_o woman_n but_o no_o mention_n at_o all_o of_o child_n so_o than_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n who_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v reas_n 3._o three_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n because_o none_o be_v account_v as_o member_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o as_o to_o have_v right_a to_o gospel_n administration_n but_o such_o as_o know_v the_o lord_n viz._n believe_v in_o his_o name_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n heb._n 8._o for_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o make_v after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v not_o teach_v every_o one_o his_o neighbour_n and_o every_o man_n his_o brother_n say_v know_v the_o lord_n for_o they_o shall_v know_v i_o from_o the_o least_o even_o to_o the_o great_a from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o least_o member_n in_o the_o gospel-covenant_n must_v know_v the_o lord_n but_o child_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n old_a know_v he_o not_o and_o therefore_o have_v not_o right_a to_o gospel-administrations_a only_a believer_n that_o know_v god_n for_o they_o shall_v all_o know_v he_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a as_o say_v the_o text_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o because_o those_o that_o have_v right_a to_o be_v baptise_a may_v and_o aught_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o which_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o child_n to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n that_o believer_n only_o have_v a_o right_a to_o partake_v of_o but_o all_o baptize_v once_o even_o such_o as_o have_v right_a to_o the_o new_a covenant_n have_v right_a to_o the_o supper_n and_o all_o other_o covenant_n privilege_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n act_v 2.41_o 42._o then_o they_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v and_o the_o same_o day_n be_v add_v to_o the_o church_n about_o three_o thousand_o soul_n and_o they_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o no_o more_o be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n viz._n the_o lord_n supper_n and_o prayer_n therefore_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n and_o not_o child_n be_v the_o right_a subject_n of_o baptism_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v they_o have_v a_o command_n enjoin_v they_o thereunto_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o five_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o disciple_n viz._n believe_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 5._o because_o christ_n be_v baptize_v when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n be_v about_o thirty_o year_n old_a as_o you_o may_v read_v luk._n 3._o and_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o be_v a_o leader_n to_o his_o people_n isa_n 55.4_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o baptize_v before_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o he_o give_v to_o lead_v we_o a_o example_n than_o we_o ought_v not_o also_o to_o be_v baptize_v till_o we_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o so_o follow_v his_o step_n the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v true_a and_o the_o consequence_n can_v in_o truth_n be_v deny_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o six_o reason_n to_o prove_v believer_n the_o only_a subject_n of_o baptism_n reas_n 6._o because_o repentance_n and_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v require_v of_o person_n before_o baptism_n be_v administer_v unto_o they_o for_o such_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n when_o he_o be_v to_o prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n although_o the_o people_n which_o he_o baptize_v be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o in_o the_o old_a covenant_n yet_o they_o come_v to_o john_n and_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o it_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o when_o they_o will_v have_v be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n john_n do_v reprove_v they_o say_v o_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v forewarn_v you_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o do_v not_o begin_v to_o say_v you_o have_v abraham_n to_o your_o father_n for_o god_n be_v able_a of_o these_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n unto_o abraham_n and_o now_o be_v the_o axe_n lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o every_o tree_n which_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v hew_v down_o etc._n etc._n peruse_v this_o diligent_o and_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o admission_n unto_o baptism_n without_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o doctrine_n that_o peter_n teach_v act_v 2.38_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n hence_o you_o see_v there_o be_v repentance_n require_v of_o ever_o one_o that_o be_v baptise_a and_o this_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o old_a catechism_n and_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o old_a godfather_n and_o godmother_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o call_v they_o do_v confess_v our_o sin_n for_o we_o it_o be_v a_o wicked_a deceive_a invention_n of_o pope_n ignatius_n whereby_o thousand_o of_o poor_a soul_n be_v deceive_v the_o pope_n invent_v it_o and_o the_o priest_n ready_o receive_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n the_o people_n love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o ask_v the_o child_n whether_o it_o will_v forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n and_o the_o godfather_n or_o surety_n be_v to_o answer_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o child_n as_o though_o the_o priest_n be_v a_o juglor_n and_o have_v juggle_v the_o man_n voice_n into_o the_o child_n say_v this_o be_v our_o or_o my_o desire_n and_o then_o ask_v if_o it_o will_v be_v baptise_a and_o the_o answer_n be_v return_v again_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o

work_n and_o from_o be_v believer_n that_o some_o be_v drunkard_n some_o swearer_n and_o some_o whore-monger_n and_o yet_o do_v dare_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o pope_n his_o clergy_n to_o tell_v

consider_v o_o you_o blind_a priest_n how_o you_o deceive_v the_o people_n and_o make_v they_o believe_v they_o do_v well_o and_o worship_v god_n when_o they_o tell_v lie_n in_o the_o face_n of_o

not_o a_o fit_a subject_n for_o baptism_n for_o baptism_n represent_v a_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o a_o rise_n to_o life_n in_o the_o new_a man_n which_o can_v be_v represent_v by_o a_o infant_n be_v sprinkle_v but_o by_o a_o believer_n be_v baptize_v so_o then_o for_o as_o much_o as_o baptism_n be_v a_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o a_o covenant_n make_v between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n wherein_o the_o soul_n promise_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o walk_v in_o he_o and_o god_n promise_v to_o give_v he_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o so_o walk_v which_o show_v that_o the_o person_n thus_o covenant_v in_o baptism_n must_v be_v a_o believer_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o 10._o and_o last_o reason_n that_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v represent_v unto_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o believer_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 10._o because_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v unprofitable_a for_o any_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o any_o gospel_n ordinance_n for_o without_o faith_n they_o can_v please_v he_o in_o their_o so_o appear_v before_o he_o heb._n 11.6_o for_o he_o that_o

at_o large_a and_o thus_o of_o old_a be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o prepare_v a_o temple_n for_o the_o lord_n of_o sanctify_a stone_n build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a

baptise_a and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o scripture_n appoint_v infant_n to_o be_v baptise_a either_o by_o precept_n or_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n whole_a step_n we_o be_v to_o follow_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a practice_n for_o whosoever_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v add_v the_o plague_n which_o be_v write_v and_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v the_o

as_o for_o god_n way_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o perfect_a as_o witness_v that_o ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n there_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o

at_o eight_o day_n old_a nay_o his_o servant_n and_o slave_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a and_o in_o a_o word_n no_o uncircumcised_a person_n must_v abide_v in_o that_o land_n nor_o be_v account_v of_o

for_o righteousness_n know_v you_o therefore_o say_v he_o that_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n the_o same_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n so_o than_o infant_n not_o have_v the_o vail_n of_o

and_o when_o they_o find_v christ_n dead_a already_o they_o break_v not_o his_o leg_n the_o which_o impli_v clear_o that_o the_o other_o two_o malefactor_n be_v not_o dead_a and_o also_o take_v

they_o do_v die_v the_o same_o day_n for_o man_n may_v lie_v a_o whole_a day_n nay_o they_o may_v lie_v day_n with_o their_o leg_n break_v before_o they_o die_v and_o i_o do_v dare_v presume_v to_o

be_v dead_a that_o day_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n be_v that_o day_n in_o heaven_n moreover_o consider_v christ_n do_v not_o tell_v the_o thief_n that_o

and_o to_o administer_v comfort_n and_o assurance_n unto_o he_o say_v i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v to_o he_o thou_o desire_v i_o to_o remember_v thou_o when_o i_o come_v into_o my_o kingdom_n but_o to_o put_v thou_o out_o of_o doubt_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o at_o present_a or_o to_o day_n to_o thy_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v blood_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o life_n or_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v all_o one_o in_o many_o place_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v his_o life_n or_o more_o proper_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o also_o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n soul_n bear_v such_o a_o signification_n as_o blood_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o the_o soul_n viz._n blood_n to_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n for_o so_o do_v abel_n blood_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o cain_n and_o also_o christ_n blood_n do_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o by_o trample_v it_o under_o foot_n although_o it_o do_v speak_v for_o the_o penitent_a better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o after_o the_o red_a horse_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o great_a sword_n have_v take_v peace_n from_o the_o

which_o john_n see_v and_o declare_v when_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o

and_o build_v man_n upon_o qualification_n and_o not_o upon_o promise_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a small_a number_n elect_v and_o they_o be_v not_o

christ_n which_o relate_v to_o a_o person_n and_o not_o to_o a_o fabric_n or_o a_o model_n more_o especial_o because_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o come_v as_o a_o single_a person_n as_o a_o

who_o shall_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n so_o than_o the_o first_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o manchild_n to_o be_v the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v because_o the_o jew_n be_v mention_v in_o the_o text_n as_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o convert_a gentile_n as_o the_o manchild_n suck_v her_o breast_n and_o also_o because_o she_o be_v to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n until_o the_o

for_o say_v the_o text_n revel_v 12._o he_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o faithful_a gentile_a church_n who_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n read_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v by_o st._n john_n revel_v 2.26_o 27._o which_o say_v he_o that_o overcome_v and_o keep_v

of_o thyatira_n and_o i_o call_v the_o gospel_n church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n because_o that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a few_o jew_n convert_v it_o be_v the_o gentile_n day_n and_o the_o jew_n shut_v up_o under_o unbelief_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o exclude_v the_o convert_a jew_n of_o the_o same_o privilege_n that_o the_o convert_v gentile_n shall_v have_v for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v all_o one_o privilege_n and_o as_o for_o the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n we_o see_v
