it_o be_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n to_o be_v strike_v with_o person_n that_o be_v unknown_a or_o not_o certain_o know_v because_o the_o party_n interest_v must_v certain_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v interest_v and_o other_o that_o have_v the_o same_o interest_n must_v certain_o know_v their_o fellow_n that_o be_v party_n with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o

and_o that_o do_v mutual_o covenant_v with_o god_n be_v express_v by_o the_o appellative_a name_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o christ_n these_o person_n adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n do_v not_o

that_o be_v to_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v bind_v so_o to_o do_v or_o else_o to_o forfeit_v their_o blessing_n and_o from_o their_o understanding_n it_o come_v to_o their_o will_n to_o choose_v whether_o they_o will_v covenant_v with_o god_n or_o no_o and_o that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o fault_n if_o they_o do_v not_o because_o the_o term_n be_v indifferent_o offer_v
