strength_n our_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n have_v in_o a_o plentiful_a experience_n find_v it_o so_o already_o this_o covenant_n through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o counsel_n and_o

the_o strength_n of_o man_n god_n utter_o depart_v from_o we_o for_o our_o falseness_n and_o unfaithfulnesse_n in_o this_o covenant_n three_o this_o covenant_n observe_v will_v make_v we_o a_o holy_a
