in_o the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n but_o that_o can_v be_v he_o be_v not_o then_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n now_o dead_a when_o he_o be_v about_o a_o hundred_o

they_o answer_v it_o thus_o that_o abraham_n hideed_o at_o the_o first_o do_v consider_v his_o own_o body_n and_o do_v doubt_n through_o unbelief_n but_o afterward_o abraham_n recollect_v himself_o and_o get_v over_o that_o unbelief_n but_o the_o apostle_n he_o speak_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n through_o unbelief_n other_o they_o answer_v it_o by_o labour_v to_o sin_v out_o some_o mystical_a interpretation_n of_o those_o word_n shall_v a_o child_n be_v brone_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a and_o shall_v sarah_n

unto_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o plain_o thy_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o god_n answer_v to_o that_o purpose_n in_o the_o 19_o verse_n and_o god_n say_v sarah_n thy_o wife_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o i_o mean_v according_a to_o my_o word_n sarah_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o but_o we_o need_v not_o strain_v for_o any_o mystical_a interpretation_n or_o

especial_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o three_o that_o no_o difficulty_n can_v stand_v before_o faith_n true_a save_v justify_v faith_n carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n discouragement_n and_o natural_a impossibility_n to_o jesus_n christ_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o at_o this_o time_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o

all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a seed_n like_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o sand_n upon_o the_o seashore_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n but_o before_o it_o be_v fulfil_v abraham_n body_n be_v dead_a and_o sarahs_n womb_n dead_a the_o sentence_n of_o death_n put_v upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o and_o

of_o the_o patriarch_n all_o of_o they_o joseph_n you_o know_v have_v a_o promise_n by_o way_n of_o vision_n 37._o gen._n 37._o that_o his_o sheaf_n shall_v be_v high_o than_o all_o the_o sheaf_n

that_o do_v lead_v thereto_o then_o and_o then_o especial_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n and_o commendation_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o not_o to_o stand_v
