nature_n and_o by_o carnal_a generation_n we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v it_o in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n but_o in_o the_o very_a literal_a sense_n of_o it_o for_o to_o confirm_v the_o exposition_n it_o be_v most_o evident_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o thing_n which_o make_v the_o jew_n to_o stand_v upon_o and_o to_o think_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n and_o have_v
