hence_o as_o probable_a that_o paul_n follow_v they_o in_o his_o 3d._n to_o the_o roman_n v._n 13._o etc._n etc._n and_o transcribe_v the_o verse_n out_o of_o the_o then_o lxx_o o_o but_o the_o

and_o i_o humble_o conceive_v nothing_o minister_n more_o advantage_n unto_o atheist_n than_o obstinate_o to_o contend_v that_o the_o hebrew_n text_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o corrupt_a and_o to_o

appear_v afterward_o beside_o i_o retort_v his_o reason_n thus_o the_o lxx_o be_v not_o corrupt_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n because_o they_o never_o charge_v that_o version_n with_o any_o corruption_n as_o they_o will_v and_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v as_o christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n the_o hebrew_n copy_n so_o st._n paul_n commend_v the_o berean_o that_o they_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o timothy_n that_o by_o his_o mother_n and_o grandmother_n he_o have_v be_v train_v up_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n viz._n in_o the_o

of_o the_o allegation_n make_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v still_o there_o they_o plain_o enough_o confess_v that_o some_o be_v not_o and_o consequent_o there_o must_v have_v be_v a_o corruption_n of_o the_o old_a scripture_n according_a to_o these_o father_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n ●_z give_v you_o a_o better_a argument_n in_o proof_n of_o their_o corruption_n viz._n because_o they_o have_v be_v corrupt_v before_o ezra_n time_n who_o say_v most_o of_o the_o father_n correct_v the_o error_n that_o have_v creep_v in_o afore-time_o and_o amend_v
