for_o i●_n the_o same_o thing_n have_v have_v in_o they_o any_o necessary_a ground_n why_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v do_v then_o will_v god_n have_v prescribe_v they_o not_o to_o one_o but_o to_o all_o the_o people_n and_o not_o after_o that_o mankind_n have_v live_v above_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n but_o even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o all_o neither_o abel_n enoch_n noah_n

unto_o they_o beside_o neither_o do_v moses_n exhort_v jethro_n his_o father_n in_o law_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o these_o rite_n nor_o do_v jonah_n the_o ninivite_n neither_o do_v any_o other_o prophet_n reprehend_v the_o chaldean_n egyptian_n sydonian_o tyrian_n idumean_n &_o m●abites_n for_o not_o admit_v those_o ceremony_n though_o when_o they_o write_v unto_o they_o they_o reckon_v up_o

their_o obedience_n or_o for_o the_o signification_n of_o some_o future_a thing_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v wonder_v that_o these_o be_v abolish_v than_o if_o any_o king_n shall_v abrogate_v some_o municipal_a statute_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v establish_v one_o law_n within_o his_o dominion_n neither_o can_v there_o any_o reason_n be_v allege_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v so_o bind_v himself_o as_o that_o he_o will_v change_v nothing_o of_o the_o same_o for_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o precept_n be_v perpetual_a the_o same_o word_n man_n oftentimes_o

they_o be_v not_o thereby_o hinder_v from_o make_v new_a constitution_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n special_o when_o the_o public_a good_a require_v the_o same_o thus_o in_o like_a manner_n some_o law_n

of_o canaan_n therefore_o for_o distinction_n sake_n of_o these_o from_o the_o other_o he_o call_v they_o perpetual_a whereby_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o any_o where_o to_o be_v change_v or_o ever_o intermit_v unless_o god_n signify_v that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n so_o to_o be_v which_o manner_n of_o speak_v since_o it_o be_v common_o use_v by_o all_o people_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o wonder_v at_o consider_v that_o in_o their_o law_n the_o same_o be_v call_v a_o perpetual_a statute_n and_o a_o perpetual_a bondage_n which_o continue_v only_o from_o one_o jubily_n

ancient_o a_o promise_n of_o make_v a_o new_a covenant_n as_o in_o jerem_n 31._o where_o god_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n which_o shall_v be_v put_v into_o their_o

after_o great_a enmity_n and_o discord_n have_v among_o his_o citizen_n &_o subject_n shall_v for_o the_o establishment_n of_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n among_o they_o abolish_v divers_a law_n

to_o be_v speak_v for_o the_o abrogation_n of_o the_o law_n the_o part_n whereof_o we_o will_v i●_n the_o next_o place_n show_n be_v neither_o such_o as_o in_o themselves_o can_v be_v well_o please_v

the_o hebrew_n be_v desirous_a of_o many_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n which_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n enjoin_v they_o so_o many_o or_o else_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o return_v unto_o the_o worship_n of_o fulse_n god_n by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o sojourn_v in_o egypt_n howbeit_o when_o their_o posterity_n make_v so_o great_a reckon_n of_o they_o as_o though_o of_o themselves_o they_o have_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o a_o part_n of_o true_a piety_n then_o do_v the_o prophet_n reprehend_v they_o for_o it_o i_o will_v not_o reprove_v thou_o say_v god_n by_o david_n in_o the_o fifty_o psalm_n for_o thy_o sacrifice_n or_o thy_o burn_a offering_n to_o have_v be_v continual_o before_o i_o i_o will_v take_v no_o bullock_n out_o of_o thy_o

among_o the_o hebrew_n who_o think_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v because_o they_o that_o offer_v those_o sacrifice_n be_v of_o a_o impure_a mind_n and_o dishonest_a conversation_n but_o the_o word_n now_o allege_v show_v another_o matter_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v no_o whit_n receptable_a unto_o god_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o whole_a series_n and_o order_n of_o the_o psalm_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n in_o these_o word_n speak_v unto_o the_o godly_a for_o he_o have_v say_v gather_v my_o saint_n together_o unto_o i_o and_o hear_v my_o people_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o a_o teacher_n and_o one_o that_o instruct_v then_o have_v end_v the_o say_n unto_o the_o godly_a as_o his_o manner_n be_v he_o speak_v unto_o the_o wicked_a but_o unto_o the_o wicked_a god_n say_v to_o the_o same_o sense_n we_o may_v cite_v other_o place_n as_o in_o the_o 51._o psal_n thou_o desire_v not_o sacrifice_v else_o will_v i_o give_v it_o thou_o but_o thou_o
