now_o henceforth_o they_o judge_v no_o more_o of_o he_o but_o as_o the_o spirit_n represent_v he_o and_o witness_v of_o he_o and_o according_a as_o the_o gospel_n declare_v and_o reveal_v he_o and_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n or_o divine_a nature_n in_o he_o not_o but_o that_o they_o consider_v he_o as_o dignify_v or_o glorify_v flesh_n glorify_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o after_o the_o

take_v flesh_n and_o according_a to_o that_o they_o now_o esteem_v and_o value_v he_o and_o hope_v in_o trust_v and_o believe_v on_o he_o they_o that_o know_v he_o so_o after_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o false_a apostle_n they_o also_o consider_v the_o kindred_n and_o relation_n in_o the_o flesh_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o jew_n as_o have_v his_o flesh_n of_o they_o and_o the_o want_n of_o that_o kindred_n and_o relation_n between_o he_o and_o the_o gentile_n and_o so_o they_o think_v of_o he_o as_o one_o that_o will_v honour_v and_o lift_v up_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o kindred_n and_o relation_n sake_n but_o less_o advance_v or_o honour_v the_o gentile_a believer_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o they_o to_o become_v jew_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o their_o way_n of_o worship_n and_o observation_n and_o therefore_o they_o preach_v the_o gospel_n rather_o to_o the_o jew_n as_o such_o and_o embrace_v and_o apply_v the_o promise_n rather_o to_o they_o as_o more_o interest_v in_o christ_n because_o of_o their_o affinity_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n reprove_v and_o speak_v against_o here_o by_o

so_o value_v his_o person_n suffering_n and_o mediation_n as_o but_o the_o suffering_n and_o mediation_n of_o a_o man_n and_o judge_v it_o foolish_a to_o trust_v in_o a_o finite_a creature_n they_o
