the_o hebrew_n use_v this_o word_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o a_o sure_a and_o certain_a performance_n of_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v therefore_o they_o join_v these_o two_o word_n mercy_n and_o

11.12_o consider_v the_o barenness_n of_o saraâ—_n and_o so_o many_o year_n after_o this_o first_o promise_n so_o that_o it_o may_v have_v be_v think_v he_o have_v forget_v his_o promise_n after_o
