herein_o it_o be_v perfect_o answerable_a to_o the_o freewill_n offer_v among_o the_o jew_n sacrifice_n or_o offering_n be_v a_o determine_v and_o command_v duty_n and_o every_o exercise_n of_o that_o above_o what_o be_v command_v be_v a_o freewill_n oblation_n and_o as_o such_o accept_v by_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o as_o for_o his_o cautious_a restriction_n add_v in_o the_o close_a of_o that_o answer_n which_o pretend_v that_o the_o question_n be_v of_o such_o act_n which_o as_o they_o be_v not_o command_v so_o neither_o be_v they_o allow_v in_o special_a or_o in_o general_a he_o

special_a be_v yet_o no_o command_n for_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v all_o that_o he_o be_v allow_v to_o do_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o acknowledge_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o allow_a act_n

as_o much_o for_o they_o under_o christ_n as_o there_o be_v under_o moses_n for_o freewill_n offering_n and_o so_o the_o leviticalness_n of_o the_o freewill_n offering_n consist_v not_o in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v thus_o allow_v and_o then_o this_o be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o levitical_a law_n nor_o consequent_o of_o that_o which_o be_v abolish_v as_o 91._o before_o he_o have_v affirm_v
