as_o one_o have_v authority_n and_o seem_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o saviour_n sermon_n and_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o deliver_v of_o it_o one_o will_v think_v

it_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v first_o it_o be_v say_v in_o respect_n of_o christ_n to_o show_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o his_o preach_n and_o all_o other_o for_o whether_o they_o be_v prophet_n scribe_n or_o any_o other_o they_o preach_v not_o so_o authoritative_o as_o christ_n do_v for_o the_o prophet_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o scribe_n thus_o say_v such_o a_o rabbi_n etc._n etc._n they_o prove_v what_o they_o say_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o other_o but_o christ_n upon_o his_o own_o authority_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o our_o saviour_n excel_v all_o other_o preacher_n for_o the_o substance_n and_o matter_n of_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v wonderful_a heavenly_a yet_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o it_o have_v be_v former_o

but_o that_o be_v only_o in_o degree_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o authoritative_a preach_v it_o differ_v but_o in_o kind_n 2._o in_o respect_n of_o the_o people_n the_o meaning_n may_v be_v thus_o that_o the_o sermon_n of_o christ_n come_v with_o such_o authority_n and_o power_n upon_o their_o spirit_n that_o they_o be_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o

not_o be_v to_o show_v that_o though_o they_o be_v astonish_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o right_a ground_n for_o whosoever_o be_v take_v with_o the_o eloquence_n pronunciation_n or_o any_o thing_n
