promise_v make_v he_o say_v not_o unto_o seed_n as_o of_o many_o but_o as_o of_o one_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n which_o be_v christ._n i_o say_v till_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o promise_a seed_n and_o

to_o the_o roman_n though_o he_o give_v another_o answer_n to_o this_o too_o that_o though_o the_o promise_n do_v no_o long_o belong_v to_o abraham_n carnal_a seed_n yet_o god_n so_o far_o remember_v

to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o certain_o learn_v from_o god_n care_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n that_o god_n will_v always_o preserve_v and_o protect_v the_o christian_a church_n that_o
