second_o institution_n of_o the_o passeover_n when_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o a_o anniversary_n rite_n they_o be_v not_o repeat_v nor_o yet_o be_v perform_v by_o christ_n when_o he_o do_v abrogate_v

infinity_n and_o all-sufficiency_n of_o his_o merit_n consider_v now_o the_o main_a end_n and_o scope_n for_o which_o christ_n allege_v this_o he_o do_v it_o as_o we_o hear_v to_o defend_v himself_o against_o the_o pharisee_n who_o except_v against_o that_o work_n which_o he_o have_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n his_o defence_n be_v ground_v first_o on_o his_o own_o authority_n second_o on_o the_o

so_o to_o do_v god_n therefore_o may_v command_v any_o one_o to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o do_v this_o second_o so_o also_o have_v god_n a_o absolute_a power_n over_o the_o good_n of_o the_o
