not_o but_o that_o i_o admit_v that_o the_o four_o command_v as_o to_o the_o precise_a seven_o day_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o be_v determine_v since_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n mr._n hobbes_n after_o he_o have_v deny_v the_o personal_a divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n now_o come_v to_o tell_v we_o p._n 286._o that_o our_o saviour_n nor_o his_o apostle_n have_v any_o power_n to_o make_v

of_o a_o law_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a our_o saviour_n have_v power_n to_o make_v law_n which_o he_o execute_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n

for_o sin_n as_o he_o say_v against_o nature_n or_o the_o law_n of_o their_o country_n mr._n hobbes_n cite_v so_o much_o of_o the_o text_n and_o no_o more_o than_o he_o think_v to_o his_o purpose_n
