against_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n in_o such_o a_o case_n neither_o moses_n nor_o the_o prophet_n not_o one_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a not_o jesus_n himself_o after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o

this_o therefore_o shall_v be_v a_o admonition_n to_o learner_n that_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o be_v place_v under_o able_a teacher_n nor_o glory_n in_o the_o regularity_n of_o their_o

and_o felicity_n to_o have_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o who_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o instruct_v and_o improve_v you_o but_o it_o will_v turn_v high_o to_o your_o reproach_n

be_v it_o seem_v conversant_a with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o take_v care_n that_o he_o whilst_o a_o child_n shall_v be_v so_o too_o and_o afterward_o as_o he_o grow_v up_o he_o do_v not_o
