have_v bring_v forth_o great_a effect_n in_o state_n and_o kingdom_n in_o the_o mutual_a aid_n and_o assist_n and_o therefore_o israel_n send_v to_o syria_n and_o judah_n to_o assyria_n and_o judah_n to_o israel_n and_o other_o kingdom_n have_v seek_v to_o one_o another_o for_o such_o combination_n in_o any_o grand_a enterprise_n that_o famous_a design_n of_o christendom_n which_o be_v such_o a_o

which_o make_v israel_n so_o famous_a in_o their_o conquest_n to_o canaan_n be_v the_o association_n of_o the_o tribe_n and_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n among_o they_o therefore_o the_o philistine_n cry_v

enough_o to_o remove_v these_o as_o not_o consistent_a with_o the_o holy_a simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o the_o spiritual_a purity_n we_o be_v then_o trade_v with_o

let_v we_o cast_v away_o those_o weak_a and_o beggarly_a rudiment●_n of_o the_o which_o we_o be_v now_o ashamed_a and_o they_o do_v not_o savour_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n who_o will_v now_o like_o

draw_v the_o curtain_n of_o the_o law_n before_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o serve_v now_o in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o in_o the_o deadness_n of_o the_o letter_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o observe_v be_v the_o political_a excellency_n those_o sound_a maxim_n for_o the_o kingdom_n duration_n as_o the_o preservation_n of_o parliamentary_a right_n and_o national_a
