for_o three_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v change_v the_o sabbath_n that_o they_o worship_v image_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o they_o bring_v in_o a_o strange_a god_n name_v jesus_n christ._n what_o if_o they_o do_v so_o be_v all_o true_a that_o the_o jew_n accuse_v the_o christian_n of_o beside_o what_o be_v here_o about_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n somewhat_o indeed_o we_o have_v about_o

a_o pretty_a midnight_n story_n to_o be_v tell_v to_o bring_v child_n asleep_a as_o though_o the_o jew_n dare_v accuse_v the_o christian_n before_o pagan_n for_o have_v image_n and_o picture_n when_o the_o pagan_n be_v ready_a every_o day_n to_o destroy_v those_o jew_n because_o they_o will_v have_v none_o a_o likely_a matter_n they_o will_v admit_v of_o their_o complaint_n against_o they_o that_o have_v they_o or_o that_o the_o jew_n have_v no_o more_o wit_n than_o to_o disadvantage_n themselves_o in_o their_o contest_v by_o such_o a_o complaint_n beside_o the_o whole_a insinuation_n be_v

to_o the_o accusation_n of_o the_o pagan_n that_o they_o reject_v all_o image_n make_v as_o evident_a as_o if_o it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o sunbeam_n to_o this_o day_n be_v charge_v by_o the_o

at_o all_o i_o presume_v our_o author_n know_v this_o to_o be_v so_o and_o i_o know_v if_o he_o do_v not_o he_o be_v a_o very_a unfit_a person_n to_o talk_v of_o antiquity_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n be_v the_o story_n which_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o thing_n the_o pagan_n laugh_v at_o the_o christian_n for_o among_o these_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o a_o asses-head_n which_o show_v say_v he_o the_o use_n and_o respect_n they_o have_v for_o image_n for_o the_o jew_n have_v defame_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o head_n and_o half-pourtraict_a christian_n use_v upon_o their_o altar_n
