establish_v the_o law_n wherein_o you_o may_v note_v two_o particular_n first_o that_o christ_n do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n second_o that_o in_o fulfil_v it_o he_o do_v establish_v it_o 1._o of_o the_o

tell_v plain_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v but_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n 1._o he_o fulfil_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n by_o exhibit_v the_o substance_n of_o those_o type_n

all_o those_o text_n which_o declare_v his_o perfect_a righteousness_n be_v compare_v with_o this_o do_v prove_v that_o he_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n 12._o so_o where_o
