but_o what_o he_o be_v now_o i_o can_v tell_v i_o hear_v you_o say_v he_o be_v master_n of_o trinity-college_n this_o doctor_n hill_n be_v very_o well_o know_v and_o approve_v of_o through_o all_o the_o university_n of_o cambridge_n this_o doctor_n hill_n be_v a_o man_n very_o well_o belove_v in_o the_o town_n it_o ring_v passing-peal_n for_o he_o at_o five_o church_n which_o i_o have_v seldom_o hear_v so_o many_o bell_n of_o aaron_n ring_n for_o one_o priest_n you_o tell_v i_o he_o have_v neither_o son_n nor_o daughter_n what_o do_v he_o do_v with_o all_o his_o hundred_o a_o year_n do_v he_o build_v hospital_n for_o the_o poor_a you_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o little_a hospitality_n then_o i_o can_v speak_v much_o in_o his_o behoof_n the_o word_n that_o i_o shall_v treat_v upon_o be_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o those_o four_o prophet_n ezekiel_n 37._o matthew_z 28._o zachariah_n 11._o and_o rev._n 11._o these_o four_o scripture_n be_v the_o very_a groundwork_n of_o what_o we_o shall_v treat_v upon_o we_o even_o we_o the_o witness_n foreshow_v the_o mystery_n of_o those_o evangelical_n prophet_n and_o one_o angelical_a among_o the_o rest_n christ_n the_o first_o ezekiel_n zachary_n and_o john_n by_o inference_n do_v plain_o type_n out_o the_o two_o testament_n of_o law_n and_o gospel_n declare_v of_o two_o scripture_n one_o before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o other_o by_o a_o testimony_n of_o christ_n and_o john_n say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n now_o we_o may_v find_v these_o prophet_n be_v part_n of_o the_o witness_n that_o be_v before_o and_o after_o christ_n so_o that_o these_o four_o scripture_n make_v out_o one_o testimony_n which_o one_o scripture_n can_v do_v so_o

declare_v out_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o god_n to_o come_v in_o our_o day_n the_o one_o by_o a_o foolish_a shepherd_n that_o god_n will_v raise_v speak_v of_o by_o zachary_n long_v before_o the_o

be_v one_o priest_n one_o prophet_n alone_o which_o be_v christ_n jesus_n singular_a of_o himself_o &_o not_o for_o man_n to_o stand_v as_o doctor_n definator_n and_o as_o one_o man_n can_v prove_v

which_o be_v a_o allegory_n or_o a_o all-power_n of_o himself_o which_o man_n can_v attain_v unto_o he_o be_v the_o high-priest_n that_o first_o enter_v into_o rest_n he_o have_v tread_v the_o winepress_n alone_o so_o that_o none_o can_v stand_v chief_a of_o himself_o but_o he_o alone_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedeck_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o ordain_v and_o send_v of_o god_n he_o be_v our_o minister_n and_o no_o other_o doctor_n i_o pray_v throw_v down_o your_o power_n you_o be_v but_o as_o other_o man_n joint_o to_o plead_v among_o your_o low_a equal_n and_o not_o to_o stand_v lord_n priest_n above_o other_o preach_v in_o your_o cause_n to_o silence_v other_o therefore_o take_v to_o thyself_o the_o instrument_n of_o a_o foolish_a shepherd_n show_v that_o god_n will_v deliver_v his_o mind_n to_o some_o poor_a despise_a shepherd_n that_o shall_v declare_v his_o hand_n of_o judgement_n upon_o the_o shepherd_n to_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v but_o as_o other_o

be_v all_o our_o shepherd_n and_o we_o be_v his_o sheep_n both_o minister_n and_o people_n neither_o shall_v you_o have_v power_n to_o tyrannize_v over_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o people_n for_o

foolish_a shepherd_n now_o what_o be_v those_o instrument_n to_o answer_v they_o be_v two_o and_o of_o no_o less_o number_n for_o one_o be_v not_o to_o be_v number_v but_o account_v as_o one_o
