other_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o apprehensive_a of_o the_o great_a and_o long_a desolation_n of_o their_o nation_n ever_o since_o their_o destruction_n by_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o impute_v

their_o nation_n have_v suffer_v he_o ingenuous_o confess_v he_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v for_o some_o wickedness_n that_o their_o nation_n be_v guilty_a of_o and_o that_o one_o of_o their_o great_a

the_o point_n chief_o agitate_a be_v concern_v the_o manner_n of_o christ_n come_v and_o that_o they_o say_v shall_v be_v like_o a_o mighty_a prince_n in_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o

their_o religion_n whensoever_o he_o come_v and_o therefore_o begin_v to_o conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o come_v for_o jesus_n say_v they_o the_o great_a prophet_n when_o he_o come_v begin_v to_o alter_v our_o religion_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o the_o true_a messiah_n and_o far_o when_o jesus_n come_v who_o some_o call_v the_o true_a messiah_n he_o begin_v present_o to_o pluck_v down_o our_o religion_n and_o set_v up_o his_o own_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o the_o true_a messiah_n thus_o some_o of_o they_o conclude_v but_o some_o do_v not_o but_o they_o go_v from_o this_o dispute_n to_o another_o concern_v his_o parentage_n they_o do_v all_o agree_n in_o this_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n according_a to_o the_o prediction_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o in_o this_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n of_o mean_a note_n and_o parentage_n among_o their_o nation_n as_o be_v the_o virgin_n mary_n that_o bare_a jesus_n the_o great_a prophet_n from_o god_n and_o upon_o this_o many_o of_o they_o seem_v to_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v but_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o next_o day_n when_o they_o shall_v again_o meet_v together_o the_o four_o day_n the_o assembly_n be_v meet_v the_o propounder_n demand_v what_o they_o think_v whether_o christ_n be_v come_v or_o no_o they_o say_v they_o think_v he_o be_v come_v but_o they_o answer_v thus_o that_o if_o he_o be_v come_v he_o be_v no_o other_o than_o elias_n because_o elias_n come_v former_o in_o great_a power_n and_o with_o great_a

they_o call_v jesus_n to_o be_v that_o same_o elias_n moreover_o other_o say_v that_o they_o think_v he_o be_v more_o than_o a_o mortal_a man_n in_o that_o he_o so_o strange_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n which_o some_o of_o our_o forefather_n see_v and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v do_v on_o the_o four_o day_n the_o five_o day_n the_o assembly_n be_v meet_v they_o go_v about_o the_o same_o question_n that_o be_v controvert_v the_o day_n before_o and_o take_v it_o into_o examination_n again_o to_o answer_v they_o that_o say_v elias_n be_v not_o the_o messiah_n they_o of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n do_v argue_v the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o elias_n for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o nation_n that_o he_o leave_v they_o elisha_n his_o disciple_n to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v the_o people_n and_o this_o they_o take_v to_o be_v the_o care_n of_o the_o messiah_n these_o be_v their_o chief_a argument_n to_o maintain_v their_o opinion_n the_o same_o day_n towards_o night_n come_v into_o question_n among_o they_o what_o then_o he_o be_v that_o say_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o be_v crucify_a by_o their_o ancestor_n but_o because_o this_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o they_o they_o defer_v the_o far_a consideration_n thereof_o until_o the_o next_o day_n the_o six_z day_n there_o be_v some_o pharisee_n that_o stand_v up_o who_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o say_v they_o will_v undertake_v to_o answer_v the_o last_o question_n and_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n yield_v that_o he_o be_v the_o christ._n and_o these_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o their_o opinion_n viz._n 1._o because_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n like_o a_o ordinary_a and_o inferior_a man_n not_o with_o his_o sceptre_n and_o royal_a power_n for_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v glorious_a 2._o reason_n they_o plead_v against_o he_o be_v the_o meanness_n of_o his_o birth_n in_o that_o his_o father_n be_v a_o carpenter_n and_o this_o they_o say_v be_v a_o dishonour_n of_o which_o when_o christ_n come_v he_o will_v not_o be_v capable_a 3._o reason_n they_o accuse_v he_o to_o be_v a_o false_a christ_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o moses_n law_n in_o do_v and_o suffer_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v unlawful_a work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o they_o believe_v they_o say_v that_o the_o true_a messiah_n will_v exact_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n now_o though_o it_o be_v reply_v that_o the_o gospel_n do_v testify_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n yet_o they_o reject_v that_o answer_n because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o own_o the_o gospel_n but_o these_o reason_n do_v not_o satisfy_v the_o council_n there_o still_o remain_v doubt_n in_o they_o concern_v christ._n so_o that_o after_o the_o pharisee_n have_v do_v speak_v there_o stand_v one_o up_o rabbi_n abraham_n and_o object_v against_o the_o pharisee_n the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n wrought_v while_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n viz._n the_o raise_v of_o the_o dead_a to_o life_n again_o his_o make_v the_o lame_a to_o walk_v the_o blind_a to_o see_v the_o dumb_a to_o speak_v by_o what_o
