〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o observe_v against_o joseph_n scaliger_n now_o seven_o and_o eight_o in_o these_o case_n be_v the_o same_o as_o grotius_n have_v observe_v before_o i_o and_o therefore_o josephus_n say_v of_o the_o passover_n sometime_o that_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n of_o seven_o and_o sometime_o of_o eight_o day_n continuance_n in_o the_o

consider_v the_o month_n only_a inclusiuè_n begin_v at_o nisan_fw-la or_o abib_fw-la than_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o which_o be_v a_o plain_a way_n of_o reconcile_a this_o seem_a disagreement_n betwixt_o epiphanius_n and_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o book_n of_o king_n and_o to_o show_v still_o more_o plain_o that_o both_o writer_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o same_o feast_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o samaritan_n receive_v their_o religion_n from_o the_o israelitish_n priest_n which_o be_v send_v among_o they_o to_o instruct_v they_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n where_o the_o story_n of_o salmanesers_n deportation_n be_v relate_v and_o these_o priest_n be_v subject_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o priest_n of_o that_o order_n and_o institution_n of_o which_o jeroboam_n be_v the_o founder_n so_o that_o i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n that_o the_o same_o feast_n be_v understand_v by_o epiphanius_n with_o that_o which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n but_o epiphanius_n his_o feast_n be_v express_o say_v to_o have_v be_v the_o passover_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n we_o be_v also_o to_o expound_v and_o interpret_v it_o of_o the_o same_o and_o as_o epiphanius_n explain_v the_o sacred_a story_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o inspire_a writer_n return_v epiphanius_n his_o kindness_n back_o again_o by_o give_v authority_n and_o credit_n to_o his_o relation_n and_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o epiphanius_n do_v not_o understand_v hebrew_n which_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v not_o and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v do_v it_o in_o some_o other_o paper_n the_o name_n itself_o do_v sufficient_o vouch_v the_o credibility_n of_o the_o story_n since_o its_o signification_n be_v so_o well_o accommodate_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o sect_n itself_o which_o he_o describe_v i_o do_v therefore_o disow_v and_o recant_v those_o reason_n which_o i_o have_v give_v of_o the_o samaritan_n practice_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a in_o the_o paper_n i_o have_v mention_v which_o be_v already_o finish_v from_o the_o press_n though_o not_o yet_o publish_v can_v be_v recall_v since_o it_o appear_v so_o plain_o that_o it_o be_v whole_o owe_v to_o the_o perverse_a institution_n of_o jeroboam_n which_o be_v devise_v by_o he_o on_o set_v purpose_n to_o make_v the_o breach_n wide_o and_o the_o enmity_n more_o irreconcilable_a betwixt_o the_o two_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n and_o it_o be_v further_a to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o institute_v a_o new_a feast_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n a_o old_a feast_n at_o a_o new_a time_n but_o also_o that_o he_o do_v sacrifice_n in_o his_o own_o person_n by_o that_o mean_n invade_v the_o priestly_a office_n a_o sin_n so_o grievous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o for_o this_o very_a thing_n for_o offer_v sacrifice_n of_o himself_o before_o samuel_n come_v into_o the_o camp_n the_o kingdom_n be_v rend_v from_o saul_n and_o his_o posterity_n and_o azariah_n or_o vzziah_n only_o for_o burn_a

in_o a_o manner_n double_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o first-born_a in_o the_o other_o tribe_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o such_o case_n the_o female_a indeed_o be_v omit_v out_o of_o the_o account_n but_o the_o next_o male_n to_o she_o be_v take_v in_o as_o the_o first-born_a and_o so_o the_o account_n will_v be_v adjust_v again_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o i_o prove_v this_o have_v a_o little_a patience_n and_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o you_o must_v know_v therefore_o that_o the_o first-born_a of_o all_o beast_n as_o well_o clean_a as_o unclean_a be_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o as_o well_o as_o the_o first-born_a of_o man_n the_o clean_a for_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o unclean_a to_o be_v redeem_v with_o mony_n now_o it_o be_v express_o assert_v in_o the_o law_n itself_o as_o have_v be_v already_o show_v that_o none_o but_o males_n be_v either_o to_o be_v sacrifice_v or_o redeem_a what_o therefore_o if_o the_o first-born_a of_o any_o beast_n whether_o clean_a or_o unclean_a shall_v prove_v a_o female_a shall_v not_o the_o next_o male_n be_v esteem_v as_o the_o first-born_a in_o this_o case_n and_o be_v not_o this_o much_o more_o reasonable_a to_o suppose_v than_o that_o god_n shall_v lose_v his_o sacrifice_n or_o the_o priest_n their_o portion_n nay_o be_v it_o not_o express_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v so_o numb_a 3._o 40._o the_o lord_n say_v

21._o v._o 15_o 16_o 17._o if_o a_o man_n have_v two_o wife_n one_o belove_v and_o another_o hate_a and_o they_o have_v bear_v he_o child_n both_o the_o belove_a and_o the_o hate_a than_o it_o shall_v
