promise_v several_a time_n believer_n be_v call_v in_o the_o bible_n heir_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v ever_o a_o man_n call_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o charter_n he_o may_v be_v call_v heir_n of_o the_o

the_o scope_n of_o our_o desire_n to_o he_o for_o temporal_a thing_n if_o they_o be_v lawful_a they_o run_v in_o this_o channel_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o thing_n of_o time_n in_o
