they_o be_v come_v but_o to_o mount_n sina_n which_o gendr_v unto_o bondage_n but_o those_o that_o be_v come_v unto_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v come_v unto_o mount_n zion_n now_o the_o

this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v know_v more_o then_o either_o of_o they_o both_o for_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n have_v no_o scripture_n for_o to_o interpret_v or_o expound_v but_o their_o own_o prophecy_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n must_v needs_o know_v more_o than_o the_o prophet_n do_v because_o they_o be_v the_o only_a interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o of_o their_o own_o sign_n so_o therefore_o their_o knowledge_n in_o the_o gospel_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o law_n so_o likewise_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o

of_o necessity_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o i_o do_v know_v more_o than_o any_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n because_o i_o be_o one_o of_o the_o two_o last_o witness_n and_o

after_o i_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o i_o be_o no_o way_n lift_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o presumption_n because_o of_o this_o knowledge_n and_o authority_n that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o above_o all_o man_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o latter_a end_n i_o know_v what_o i_o say_v to_o be_v truth_n for_o true_a knowledge_n be_v never_o puff_v up_o with_o

neither_o do_v i_o curse_v any_o until_o he_o judge_v i_o first_o much_o less_o revile_v any_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o a_o judge_n when_o he_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o a_o malefactor_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o such_o a_o law_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o death_n you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o this_o judge_n do_v revile_v curse_n and_o condemn_v the_o man_n
