to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n §_o 22._o 6._o the_o feign_a exaltation_n of_o they_o by_o a_o jerusalem_n monarchy_n be_v also_o a_o devise_a miracle_n that_o these_o scatter_a people_n by_o such_o

another_o reason_n against_o this_o jewish_a monarchy_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v that_o instead_o of_o a_o exaltation_n it_o will_v be_v a_o banishment_n to_o the_o jew_n judea_n be_v like_o our_o

they_o take_v heed_n of_o impose_v upon_o god_n §_o 24._o xii_o god_n in_o scripture_n have_v give_v we_o another_o description_n of_o the_o two_o new_a jerusalem_n the_o infantile_fw-la and_o the_o
