the_o one_o prophet_n promise_v to_o israel_n deut_n 18._o 18._o which_o promise_v the_o apostle_n repeat_v act_n 3._o 22._o saying_n and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o every_o soul_n that_o

they_o will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o be_v their_o saviour_n will_v it_o not_o be_v just_a for_o christ_n to_o say_v to_o these_o as_o he_o do_v to_o they_o john_n 8_o 24._o if_o you_o believe_v not_o

just_a be_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n to_o withdraw_v its_o shining_n from_o they_o and_o to_o cause_n darkness_n to_o overtake_v they_o wherefore_o hear_v you_o and_o give_v ear_n be_v not_o proud_a for_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v give_v glory_n to_o the_o lord_n before_o he_o cause_v darkness_n and_o before_o your_o foot_n stumble_v upon_o the_o dark_a mountain_n and_o while_o you_o look_v

though_o a_o measure_n of_o this_o divine_a light_n be_v or_o have_v be_v in_o every_o man_n in_o order_n to_o save_v they_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o always_o abide_v with_o they_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o its_o save_a efficacy_n it_o will_v continue_v no_o long_o then_o during_o the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n therefore_o say_v christ_n yet_o a_o little_a while_n be_v the_o light_n with_o you_o

have_v respect_n to_o abel_n and_o to_o his_o offer_n but_o to_o cain_n and_o to_o his_o offer_n he_o have_v no_o respect_n now_o i_o ask_v how_o be_v this_o manifest_v or_o how_o come_v they_o to_o

unto_o he_o but_o cain_n stick_v in_o the_o form_n and_o not_o fly_v on_o the_o wing_n of_o faith_n to_o christ_n the_o one_o offer_v miss_v the_o mark_n that_o shall_v have_v be_v aim_v at_o by_o

his_o son_n in_o their_o heart_n he_o give_v testimony_n of_o their_o gift_n to_o abel_n that_o his_o be_v accept_v and_o to_o cain_n that_o his_o be_v reject_v for_o cain_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o

which_o i_o can_v but_o tender_o sympathize_v with_o you_o have_v myself_o late_o pass_v those_o pike_n of_o the_o enemy_n renown_a be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o captain_n of_o my_o salvation_n
