and_o this_o be_v abundant_o confirm_v in_o that_o pertinent_a passage_n 1_o sam._n 3_o 13._o i_o have_v tell_v he_o that_o i_o will_v judge_v his_o house_n for_o ever_o for_o the_o in_o iquiy_a

such_o as_o the_o lord_n require_v or_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o office_n do_v call_v for_o as_o a_o high_a priest_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v cast_v they_o out_o of_o their_o office_n and_o to_o

of_o justice_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o their_o adultery_n all_o this_o they_o deserve_v so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o the_o testimony_n must_v always_o be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o o●tence_n otherwise_o we_o must_v partake_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o consequent_o of_o their_o judgement_n now_o let_v the_o judicious_a reader_n consider_v this_o and_o then_o he_o will_v
