debate_v whether_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n be_v the_o promise_a messiah_n this_o be_v demonstrate_v the_o last_o meeting_n by_o this_o worthy_a person_n point_v to_o father_n s._n by_o a_o convince_a argument_n which_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o many_o infallible_a miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o by_o his_o follower_n afterward_o in_o his_o name_n these_o do_v ample_o testify_v that_o he_o come_v from_o god_n and_o that_o the_o testimony_n he_o give_v of_o himself_o be_v true_a else_o god_n as_o be_v then_o say_v will_v never_o have_v set_v his_o own_o seal_n to_o it_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o any_o testimony_n that_o poor_a mortal_n who_o can_v discern_v the_o essence_n and_o be_v of_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v i_o do_v therefore_o decline_v this_o argument_n because_o of_o its_o insufficiency_n to_o prove_v the_o matter_n in_o question_n or_o because_o any_o thing_n have_v or_o can_v be_v offer_v to_o evade_v or_o invalidate_v the_o force_n of_o it_o but_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v see_v our_o faith_n do_v not_o hang_v only_o upon_o this_o hinge_n i_o shall_v advance_v another_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n in_o who_o we_o christian_n believe_v be_v the_o promise_a messiah_n beside_o then_o the_o testimony_n of_o miracle_n we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o this_o truth_n and_o i_o remember_v our_o lord_n himself_o do_v appeal_v to_o both_o these_o testimony_n he_o say_v the_o work_v he_o do_v in_o his_o father_n name_n do_v bear_v witness_n of_o he_o and_o he_o bid_v the_o jew_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n for_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o he_o and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o act_n of_o his_o apostle_n that_o one_o apollo_n do_v mighty_o convince_v the_o jew_n and_o that_o public_o show_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n to_o this_o work_n than_o i_o shall_v immediate_o apply_v myself_o and_o as_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v that_o which_o i_o promise_v and_o i_o suppose_v you_o expect_v rabbi_n j._n assent_v and_o say_v yes_o that_o be_v the_o proof_n they_o now_o expect_v only_o he_o hope_v that_o by_o the_o scripture_n he_o mean_v those_o that_o the_o christian_n call_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o wit_n the_o write_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o hagiographa_n mr._n b._n reply_v that_o he_o intend_v no_o other_o for_o he_o be_v not_o insensible_a how_o the_o jew_n will_v object_v against_o any_o citation_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o he_o add_v he_o can_v easy_o manifest_a if_o that_o be_v now_o his_o business_n that_o there_o lie_v no_o exception_n against_o they_o but_o what_o be_v of_o equal_a force_n against_o the_o write_n of_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o prophet_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v confine_v himself_o to_o those_o scripture_n which_o by_o the_o unanimous_a consent_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o christian_n be_v of_o divine_a authority_n and_o from_o these_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v make_v good_a these_o two_o grand_a assertion_n 1._o that_o the_o promise_a messiah_n be_v long_o since_o come_v and_o 2._o that_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n be_v he_o and_o if_o i_o prove_v these_o two_o point_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v give_v we_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n and_o become_v member_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n rabbi_n j._n answer_v that_o if_o those_o two_o point_n be_v clear_o and_o convince_o prove_v he_o will_v present_o renounce_v judaisme_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o become_v a_o professor_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n he_o only_o request_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v interpret_v a_o interruption_n if_o as_o particular_a place_n be_v cite_v and_o urge_v he_o make_v his_o objection_n if_o he_o have_v any_o because_o he_o be_v old_a and_o of_o weak_a memory_n and_o many_o thing_n may_v slip_v from_o he_o if_o he_o defer_v the_o mention_v of_o they_o till_o the_o end_n of_o a_o long_a discourse_n mr._n b._n approve_v of_o his_o motion_n and_o therefore_o tell_v he_o he_o will_v purposely_o make_v a_o pause_n now_o and_o then_o to_o wait_v if_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v object_v or_o oppose_v to_o what_o he_o deliver_v then_o pull_v a_o hebrew_n bible_n out_o of_o his_o pocket_n he_o lay_v it_o before_o he_o and_o thus_o proceed_v mr._n b._n the_o first_o thing_n i_o propound_v to_o prove_v be_v this_o that_o the_o promise_a messiah_n be_v already_o yea_o long_v since_o come_v for_o the_o evince_a of_o this_o assertion_n i_o may_v urge_v many_o place_n out_o of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o only_o with_o three_o which_o be_v most_o considerable_a the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o book_n which_o we_o call_v genesis_n in_o the_o hebrew_n beresith_v you_o will_v find_v it_o in_o ch._n 49._o v._n 8_o 10._o there_o jacob_n be_v give_v his_o son_n his_o last_o benediction_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o judah_n he_o prophecy_v of_o he_o that_o his_o brethren_n shall_v praise_v he_o that_o his_o hand_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o neck_n of_o his_o enemy_n that_o his_o father_n child_n shall_v bow_v down_o before_o he_o and_o far_o which_o be_v the_o passage_n i_o aim_v at_o he_o add_v that_o the_o sceptre_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o judah_n nor_o a_o lawgiver_n from_o between_o his_o foot_n until_o shiloh_n come_v and_o unto_o he_o shall_v the_o gather_n of_o the_o people_n be_v i_o shall_v first_o explain_v these_o word_n and_o then_o form_v my_o argument_n from_o they_o by_o judah_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v the_o person_n but_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n nothing_o here_o speak_v of_o judah_n be_v in_o any_o measure_n fulfil_v in_o his_o person_n he_o live_v and_o die_v in_o egypt_n without_o preeminence_n among_o his_o brethren_n and_o if_o you_o look_v a_o little_a high_o you_o will_v find_v the_o thing_n foretell_v by_o jacob_n be_v such_o as_o concern_v not_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n but_o their_o posterity_n in_o the_o last_o day_n by_o sceptre_n and_o lawgiver_n be_v mean_v the_o rule_n and_o legislative_a power_n that_o in_o process_n of_o time_n do_v settle_v and_o centre_n in_o that_o tribe_n of_o judah_n it_o begin_v in_o david_n who_o be_v of_o that_o tribe_n and_o continue_v for_o some_o century_n of_o year_n though_o not_o without_o alteration_n and_o intercision_n though_o there_o be_v some_o variety_n in_o the_o form_n of_o government_n sometime_o it_o be_v monarchical_a and_o sometime_o aristocratical_a yet_o still_o the_o law_n and_o polity_n among_o they_o be_v the_o same_o by_o shiloh_n be_v mean_v the_o messiah_n or_o the_o promise_a seed_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n this_o may_v be_v prove_v from_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n as_o also_o from_o the_o follow_a word_n to_o he_o shall_v the_o gather_n of_o the_o people_n be_v or_o as_o some_o read_v it_o to_o he_o shall_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v now_o to_o who_o can_v this_o be_v apply_v but_o the_o messiah_n unto_o who_o it_o be_v elsewhere_o promise_v the_o nation_n shall_v seek_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v bless_v in_o he_o and_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v gather_v to_o he_o of_o this_o opinion_n also_o be_v all_o your_o ancient_a
