what_o if_o providence_n lay_v new_a obligation_n on_o we_o and_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o the_o obligation_n and_o the_o discharge_n too_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o rule_n and_o not_o

as_o mere_a providence_n do_v not_o make_v they_o bind_v so_o neither_o do_v mere_a providence_n destroy_v their_o obligation_n and_o how_o extravagant_a do_v this_o doctrine_n look_v when_o apply_v

to_o do_v now_o the_o dr._n have_v the_o best_a faculty_n of_o turn_v his_o question_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v when_o he_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v his_o authority_n to_o illegal_a and_o
