which_o after_o this_o promise_v happen_v in_o pentecost_n to_o the_o apostle_n precede_v the_o latter_a by_o many_o year_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o prophetical_a text_n have_v not_o

and_o a_o foretaste_n of_o which_o the_o total_a accomplishment_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v expect_v and_o this_o be_v also_o sufficient_o evident_a from_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n act_v 2.39_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n and_o to_o all_o that_o be_v afar_o who_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v wherefore_o since_o the_o day_n here_o
