THE Argument from these Words may be otherwise framed, but this contains the plain sense of this Testimony.
THE Argument from these Words may be otherwise framed, but this contains the plain sence of this Testimony.
SUNDRY things are excepted unto this Testimony and our Application of it. Those which are of any weight consist in a contest about Two Words in the Text, [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew]; some place their confidence of Evasion in one of them, and some in another; the Argument from both being inconsistent. If that sense of one of these Words which is pleaded as a Relief against ⟨p. 147⟩this Testimony be embraced, that which unto the same purpose is pretended to be the sense of the other, must be rejected. Such shifts doth an opposition unto the Truth, put Men to.
