and_o these_o two_o together_o be_v christ_n incarnate_a christ_n in_o they_o who_o be_v the_o substance_n or_o chief_a thing_n typify_v and_o intend_v and_o therefore_o when_o the_o substance_n

at_o this_o horrid_a blasphemy_n and_o be_v not_o these_o accurse_v and_o then_o three_o and_o last_o they_o offer_v violence_n and_o this_o must_v necessary_o follow_v to_o all_o the_o ordinance_n

when_o this_o christ_n appear_v that_o must_v give_v place_n so_o all_o the_o ordinance_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n outward_o be_v but_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o true_a and_o spiritual_a
