and_o therefore_o as_o the_o same_o learned_a author_n observe_v as_o certain_a as_o any_o derive_v a_o new_a covenant_n rite_n from_o christ_n for_o pardon_n they_o also_o receive_v a_o vital_a

must_v by_o their_o notion_n make_v every_o believe_a parent_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o respect_n of_o that_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n a_o common_a head_n and_o father_n not_o only_o to_o his_o own_o natural_a seed_n but_o to_o all_o believer_n also_o as_o abraham_n be_v and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o common_a father_n like_v as_o abraham_n be_v so_o

by_o virtue_n of_o that_o promise_v make_v with_o he_o do_v relate_v to_o such_o a_o seed_n as_o do_v believe_v and_o not_o as_o coordinate_a with_o he_o in_o covenant_n interest_n they_o be_v not_o
