those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v only_o the_o shadow_n and_o resemblance_n of_o it_o so_o that_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o the_o eternal_a word_n give_v whilst_o he_o tabernacle_v among_o

to_o that_o end_n and_o not_o leave_v they_o to_o contend_v with_o difficulty_n which_o be_v insuperable_a to_o their_o natural_a power_n and_o ability_n and_o partly_o from_o those_o general_a

i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v that_o they_o be_v encourage_v to_o hope_v for_o any_o such_o assistance_n from_o any_o promise_n of_o that_o law_n which_o the_o eternal_a word_n give_v they_o when_o he_o tabernacle_v among_o they_o and_o by_o which_o in_o his_o father_n stead_n he_o rule_v and_o govern_v they_o and_o that_o both_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o promise_n find_v in_o
