the_o most_o learned_a jewish_a doctor_n ancient_a and_o modern_a interpret_v most_o of_o these_o prophecy_n to_o concern_v their_o messiah_n who_o they_o expect_v to_o come_v and_o to_o suffer_v

though_o most_o unreasonable_o they_o impute_v they_o to_o his_o skill_n in_o some_o forbid_a art_n and_o for_o those_o miracle_n which_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o confess_v yet_o they_o dare_v not_o

all_o that_o believe_v a_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n must_v admit_v the_o whole_a christian_n faith_n for_o miracle_n and_o especial_o raise_v the_o dead_a be_v the_o great_a seal_n which_o god_n

i_o suppose_v it_o possible_a for_o man_n of_o common_a sense_n to_o be_v infallible_o sure_a of_o some_o notable_a and_o very_a remarkable_a matter_n of_o fact_n which_o they_o all_o believe_v and_o
