shadow_n the_o other_o have_v the_o substance_n itself_o three_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o itself_o be_v but_o weak_a and_o unprofitable_a as_o you_o shall_v see_v

therefore_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n the_o testament_n that_o continue_v for_o ever_o four_o they_o differ_v in_o the_o confirmation_n this_o second_o testament_n the_o new_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o a_o oath_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o testator_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n 2d_o as_o

when_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v other_o seal_n circumcision_n and_o the_o passeover_n five_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o more_o clear_a

establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n though_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v not_o

the_o spirit_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o it_o be_v establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n and_o again_o there_o be_v a_o large_a effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n be_v now_o

of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v great_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o it_o follow_v upon_o the_o other_o grace_n &_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v more_o

i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o on_o this_o i_o come_v brief_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o and_o leave_v the_o other_o 4_o thing_n that_o be_v with_o who_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v how_o

and_o earth_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o indent_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n to_o us._n if_o we_o consider_v it_o it_o be_v a_o exceed_o great_a mercy_n when_o we_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o he_o be_v in_o heave●_n and_o we_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o the_o

between_o we_o as_o when_o jonathan_n and_o david_n make_v a_o covenant_n though_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n the_o one_o be_v a_o king_n son_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o the_o covenant_n of_o
