A91415	The Jewes synagogue: or, A treatise concerning the ancient orders and manner of worship used by the Jewes in their synagogue-assemblies. Gathered out of the sacred scriptures, the Jewish Rabines, and such modern authors, which have been most conversant in the study of Jewish customes. Wherein, by comparing the scriptures in the Old and New Testament together, many truths are fully opened, and sundry controversies about church-government truly and plainly stated. By William Pinchion of Springfeild [sic] in N. England.	Pynchon, William, 1590-1662.	1652 (1652)	Wing P4309; Thomason E802_4; ESTC R207368	80,705	99

say_v plain_o you_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o sabbath_n to_o jehovah_n in_o all_o your_o dwelling_n but_o if_o all_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n have_v be_v command_v to_o

out_o unto_o we_o that_o their_o particular_a church-assembly_n be_v call_v the_o dwell_a place_n of_o jacob_n because_o they_o be_v many_o and_o convenient_o disperse_v in_o all_o the_o town_n and_o

where_o the_o strict_a exercise_n of_o god_n worship_n in_o particular_a assembly_n have_v be_v neglect_v and_o then_o the_o generation_n that_o enter_v into_o canaan_n will_v have_v be_v worse_a than_o those_o that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n but_o they_o must_v be_v better_o instruct_v before_o they_o can_v enter_v into_o canaan_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o jesus_n

as_o the_o whole_a synagogue_n of_o antioch_n in_o syria_n do_v for_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o jewish_a synagogue_n in_o that_o city_n because_o there_o be_v many_o jew_n there_o though_o the_o

of_o other_o synagogue_n do_v we_o never_o read_v of_o any_o opposition_n that_o this_o church_n or_o synagogue_n make_v against_o the_o gospel_n except_o by_o some_o jew_n that_o come_v from_o
