but_o must_v receive_v they_o from_o the_o power_n and_o according_a to_o the_o dispose_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o shall_v refer_v all_o his_o concernment_n to_o the_o same_o

may_v conceive_v the_o general_a scope_n of_o this_o context_n now_o to_o the_o particular_n have_v the_o rain_n a_o father_n the_o question_n may_v be_v resolve_v both_o negative_o and_o

second_o affirmative_o have_v the_o rain_n a_o father_n yes_o it_o have_v god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o rain_n the_o rain_n be_v not_o fatherless_a there_o be_v one_o who_o will_v own_o the_o
