1._o for_o that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v be_v preach_v unto_o the_o gentiles_n till_o the_o fullnes_n of_o tyme._n mat_n 10.5_o 6._o 1._o timoth_n 3.16_o rom._n

of_o time_n be_v their_o grievous_a sin_n 2._o because_o all_o the_o gentill_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v proselyte_n of_o the_o jew_n church_n &_o to_o have_v come_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n

2_o 11-15_a act._n 13_o 46-48_a contrary_n also_o to_o rom._n 16.25.26_o 6._o because_o that_o see_v the_o hebrew_n writing_n be_v ceremony_n it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o septuagint_n to_o chandg_v they_o from_o their_o proper_a kind_n &_o to_o picture_n they_o out_o by_o the_o greek_a writing_n for_o the_o greek_n use_n 7._o because_o the_o septuagint_n do_v of_o purpose_n conceal_v many_o thing_n as_o judge_v the_o gentiles_n unworthy_a to_o know_v they_o fear_v also_o lest_o they_o shall_v profane_v such_o holy_a mystery_n wherein_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o plain_o that_o their_o translation_n be_v their_o sin_n also_o they_o do_v pervert_v many_o thing_n of_o purpose_n ad_fw-la something_o &_o infinite_o corrupt_v their_o translation_n which_o be_v their_o grieve_v we_o sin_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o see_v the_o septuagint_n translation_n be_v so_o grievous_a a_o sin_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n will_v never_o account_v it_o holy_a scripture_n

the_o septuagint_n or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o it_o be_v unlawful_a by_o the_o same_o reason_n before_o use_v against_o the_o septuagint_n further_n there_o can_v be_v no_o use_n of_o the_o
