the_o way_n i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 5.16_o though_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o henceforth_o know_v we_o he_o so_o no_o more_o here_o he_o say_v flesh_n be_v not_o here_o take_v for_o the_o mankind_n nature_n of_o christ_n but_o flesh_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o

to_o come_v when_o do_v either_o jew_n or_o gentile_n so_o know_v he_o therefore_o i_o say_v plain_o to_o i_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o s._n b._n have_v great_o wrong_v this_o scripture_n for_o he_o viz._n the_o apostle_n do_v seem_v to_o confess_v that_o they_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o they_o never_o so_o know_v he_o as_o deck_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o

thus_o argue_v if_o christ_n must_v be_v know_v no_o more_o after_o the_o flesh_n than_o he_o must_v now_o be_v know_v only_o after_o the_o spirit_n or_o else_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n must_v cease_v for_o that_o will_v true_o follow_v and_o if_o so_o then_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n as_o man_n and_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v god_n be_v true_o distinguish_v so_o god_n be_v not_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n neither_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n god_n as_o this_o priest_n do_v presumtuous_o seem_v to_o affirm_v without_o any_o true_a ground_n of_o
