but_o this_o also_o fall_v short_a and_o neither_o express_v the_o whole_a nor_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o what_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o text_n for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o

the_o priest_n and_o levite_n of_o the_o jew_n or_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o christ_n do_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n purify_v the_o son_n of_o levi_n
