a_o gross_a pervert_n of_o scripture_n in_o this_o short_a sentence_n the_o first_o that_o the_o jewish_a church-state_n or_o old_a covenant_n be_v call_v israel_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o

second_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v so_o call_v because_o that_o be_v constitute_v on_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n etc._n etc._n the_o abuse_n of_o scripture_n appear_v that_o these_o scripture_n neither_o prove_v the_o antecedent_n nor_o sequel_n nor_o consequent_a neither_o make_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o purpose_n as_o if_o it_o will_v not_o be_v overtedious_a to_o stand_v upon_o and_o needless_a to_o any_o man_n of_o judgement_n may_v be_v show_v but_o such_o utter_n of_o falsehood_n and_o then_o prop_v they_o with_o scripture_n to_o abuse_v the_o simple_a be_v

the_o tutourship_n of_o the_o law_n this_o i_o say_v be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n and_o under_o the_o same_o covenant_n in_o all_o essentials_n for_o all_o know_v that_o a_o son_n and_o heir_n be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n and_o in_o person_n at_o three_o year_n

not_o by_o nature_n for_o christ_n only_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o nature_n therefore_o by_o grace_n and_o so_o they_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o powerful_a be_v the_o
