therefore_o this_o diversity_n may_v be_v now_o observe_v under_o the_o gospel_n that_o unless_o when_o it_o be_v quote_v out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o be_v never_o call_v the_o god_n of_o

so_o the_o same_o god_n will_v preserve_v hezekiah_n also_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o pine_v sickness_n and_o give_v he_o as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a life_n and_o health_n spring_v from_o out_o of_o
