all_o thing_n as_o a_o servant_n heb._n 3.5_o for_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o heb._n 2.2_o that_o the_o law_n be_v so_o steadfast_a that_o every_o transgression_n and_o disobedience_n

the_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n be_v against_o his_o conscience_n these_o be_v but_o john_n bunyan_n fancy_n all_o that_o the_o text_n say_v be_v that_o moses_n be_v angry_a when_o he_o find_v

do_v command_v that_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n shall_v eat_v such_o part_n of_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o people_n as_o he_o direct_v viz._n it_o be_v their_o due_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o
