by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o in_o which_o they_o all_o subsist_v and_o by_o which_o all_o heart_n be_v bridle_v saul_n be_v a_o stout_a and_o valiant_a warrior_n and_o high_a than_o

will_v say_v that_o christ_n luke_n 22.36_o a_o little_a before_o his_o suffering_n bid_v the_o disciple_n that_o he_o who_o have_v not_o a_o sword_n shall_v sell_v his_o garment_n and_o buy_v one_o which_o can_v not_o be_v but_o for_o some_o great_a and_o necessary_a use_n that_o the_o have_v of_o it_o shall_v be_v prefer_v before_o a_o necessary_a garment_n can_v you_o say_v in_o truth_n of_o

who_o shall_v come_v after_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o watch_n say_v what_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o say_v unto_o all_o watch_z or_o be_v this_o sword_n that_o he_o bid_v they_o to_o buy_v only_o for_o some_o special_a use_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o apprehension_n which_o be_v to_o hold_v forth_o that_o all_o such_o fight_n with_o the_o sword_n by_o the_o saint_n be_v now_o to_o take_v its_o farewell_n in_o the_o world_n christ_n be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n which_o both_o tolerate_a and_o oft_o time_n command_v the_o jew_n not_o only_o to_o defend_v

observe_v his_o reason_n for_o his_o so_o speak_v for_o say_v he_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o which_o be_v write_v must_v be_v accomplish_v in_o i_o and_o he_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o

it_o lest_o he_o perish_v by_o it_o likewise_o mark_v his_o answer_n to_o they_o when_o they_o say_v there_o be_v two_o sword_n say_v he_o it_o be_v enough_o although_o he_o seem_v to_o say_v before_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v sell_v his_o garment_n that_o have_v not_o a_o sword_n to_o buy_v one_o show_v thereby_o that_o this_o thing_n be_v not_o of_o universal_a use_n as_o you_o will_v understand_v therefore_o when_o judas_n have_v betray_v he_o to_o the_o multitude_n and_o those_o about_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o lord_n shall_v we_o smite_v with_o the_o sword_n and_o one_o of_o they_o have_v smite_v and_o cut_v off_o the_o high_a priest_n servant_n ear_n christ_n answer_v and_o say_v suffer_v you_o thus_o far_o show_v that_o now_o the_o sword_n have_v do_v his_o office_n and_o so_o he_o touch_v his_o ear_n &_o heal_v he_o thus_o exercise_v his_o power_n of_o love_n in_o requite_v good_a for_o evil_n and_o even_o make_v up_o the_o breach_n that_o the_o sword_n have_v
