with_o the_o blood_n of_o bullock_n goat_n and_o ram_n which_o be_v but_o tip_n of_o christ_n the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o shadow_n so_o he_o seal_v according_a to_o his_o usual_a manner_n this_o

that_o be_v dead_a can_v alter_v his_o will_n or_o covenant_n the_o lord_n therefore_o be_v immortal_a and_o therefore_o can_v not_o die_v that_o he_o may_v by_o the_o same_o unchangeable_a manner_n
