they_o even_o the_o lord_n christ_n represent_v and_o shadow_v out_o by_o those_o typical_a sacrifice_n present_v he_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n withal_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n by_o faith_n rest_v and_o rely_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o

the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o obedience_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n the_o acceptation_n of_o their_o person_n the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n have_v thus_o lay_v

the_o service_n of_o the_o day_n call_v for_o application_n which_o let_v it_o be_v direct_v only_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n whereof_o take_v these_o three_o branch_n 1_o that_o we_o will_v all_o

let_v we_o strike_v a_o covenant_n a_o solemn_a covenant_n with_o he_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n say_v of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o child_n of_o juda_n

both_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n thus_o be_v we_o a_o people_n in_o covenant_n with_o god_n already_o answ._n and_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o child_n of_o juda_n so_o

yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o find_v they_o there_o take_v up_o thought_n and_o resolution_n of_o join_v themselves_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o covenant_n and_o that_o by_o renew_v the_o same_o

the_o renew_n of_o covenant_n this_o we_o find_v the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v upon_o divers_a occasion_n special_o in_o these_o two_o case_n in_o case_n of_o defection_n affliction_n 1_o in_o case_n of_o defection_n when_o by_o fall_v away_o from_o god_n they_o have_v break_v this_o covenant_n second_o in_o case_n of_o affliction_n when_o have_v break_v his_o covenant_n the_o judgement_n of_o
