but_o to_o all_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 melchisedeck_v job_n abraham_n isaac_n or_o jacob_n though_o all_o of_o they_o be_v godly_a man_n and_o dear_o belove_v of_o god_n know_v this_o part_n of_o the_o law_n but_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a or_o very_o little_a acquaint_v therewith_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o all_o that_o they_o receive_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o of_o god_n love_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 ninivites_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 and_o moabite_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 sin_n exact_o enough_o these_o than_o be_v peculiar_a precept_n introduce_v either_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o some_o evil_n which_o the_o jew_n be_v prone_a unto_o or_o for_o the_o trial_n of_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 which_o belong_v that_o be_v to_o particular_a corporation_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 call_v perpetual_a the_o same_o word_n man_n oftentimes_o use_v when_o they_o will_v signify_v that_o that_o which_o they_o command_v be_v not_o yearly_a or_o accommodate_v to_o certain_a time_n suppose_v of_o war_n peace_n or_o scarcity_n yet_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 it_o thus_o in_o like_a manner_n some_o of_o the_o divine_a precept_n give_v to_o the_o hebrew_n be_v temporary_a during_o the_o people_n abode_n in_o the_o wilderness_n other_o be_v strict_o tie_v to_o their_o habitation_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n therefore_o to_o distinguish_v 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_n or_o at_o any_o time_n to_o be_v 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 aught_o to_o be_v less_o wonder_v at_o by_o the_o hebrew_n who_o know_v that_o in_o their_o law_n it_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 jubilee_n to_o another_o and_o the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v call_v by_o they_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o jubilee_n or_o the_o great_a jubilee_n of_o all_o thus_o in_o the_o hebrew_n prophet_n there_o be_v ancient_o a_o promise_n of_o make_v a_o new_a covenant_n as_o in_o jerem_n xxxi_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 inward_a part_n and_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n neither_o shall_v man_n have_v any_o need_n that_o one_o shall_v learn_v religion_n of_o another_o for_o it_o shall_v be_v manifest_a unto_o all_o yea_o further_o the_o lord_n will_v forgive_v they_o their_o former_a iniquity_n and_o will_v remember_v their_o sin_n no_o more_o which_o be_v as_o if_o a_o king_n after_o great_a enmity_n and_o discord_n among_o his_o citizen_n and_o subject_n shall_v for_o the_o establishment_n of_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n among_o they_o take_v away_o all_o diversity_n of_o law_n and_o make_v one_o perfect_a law_n common_a to_o they_o all_o promise_v forgiveness_n of_o fault_n bypass_a if_o hereafter_o they_o do_v amend_v and_o this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v may_v suffice_v but_o we_o will_v survey_v every_o part_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v abrogate_a and_o show_v they_o be_v neither_o such_o as_o in_o themselves_o can_v be_v well_o please_v unto_o god_n nor_o ought_v they_o to_o continue_v for_o ever_o sect_n viii_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o of_o themselves_o be_v never_o well-pleasing_a unto_o god_n the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o many_o of_o the_o hebrew_n think_v be_v invent_v by_o man_n before_o that_o they_o be_v command_v by_o god_n and_o true_a it_o be_v indeed_o the_o hebrew_n be_v desirous_a of_o abundance_n of_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n so_o that_o there_o be_v cause_n enough_o why_o god_n shall_v enjoin_v they_o very_o many_o if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o this_o reason_n lest_o they_o shall_v return_v unto_o the_o worship_n of_o false_a god_n by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o sojourn_v in_o egypt_n howbeit_o when_v their_o posterity_n make_v too_o great_a account_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 about_o sacrifice_n say_v god_n by_o david_n in_o the_o fifty_o psalm_n i_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o exchange_v a_o word_n with_o thou_o as_o if_o i_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v thy_o burn_a offering_n continual_o before_o i_o i_o will_v take_v no_o buliock_n out_o of_o thy_o house_n nor_o he-goat_n out_o of_o thy_o fold_n for_o every_o beast_n of_o the_o forest_n be_v i_o and_o so_o be_v the_o cattle_n upon_o a_o thousand_o hill_n i_o know_v all_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o mountain_n and_o the_o wila_fw-fr beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v i_o if_o i_o be_v hungry_a i_o will_v not_o tell_v thou_o for_o the_o world_n be_v i_o and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o think_v thou_o that_o i_o will_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o bull_n or_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o goat_n offer_v unto_o god_n thanksgiving_n and_o pay_v thy_o vow_n unto_o the_o most_o high_a some_o there_o be_v among_o the_o hebrew_n who_o say_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 acceptable_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 and_o 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 those_o word_n now_o allege_v 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

have_v tie_v i_o to_o thou_o as_o he_o who_o ear_n be_v bore_v through_o to_o be_v thy_o servant_n burnt-offering_a and_o sin-offering_a have_v thou_o not_o require_v then_o say_v i_o loe_o i_o come_v
