the_o law_n some_o suppose_v the_o prophet_n intend_v this_o chief_o of_o justification_n and_o not_o of_o any_o deliverance_n from_o the_o chaldean_n insert_v it_o as_o a_o digression_n not_o

temporal_a deliverance_n be_v type_n of_o spiritual_a and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n whereby_o we_o trust_v god_n both_o for_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a mercy_n and_o if_o faith_n in_o god_n
