the_o promise_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v believe_v neither_o be_v it_o apprehend_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v then_o by_o faith_n therefore_o as_o merit_v and_o grace_n can_v stand_v together_o no_o more_o can_v the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n we_o will_v frame_v this_o argument_n if_o we_o deserve_v the_o inheritance_n of_o life_n by_o
