dispensation_n now_o some_o of_o they_o justle_a with_o command_n some_o with_o promise_n and_o prediction_n some_o of_o they_o difficult_v all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n put_v they_o all_o to_o

the_o second_o thing_n we_o will_v speak_v to_o be_v what_o be_v those_o most_o glorious_a work_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n for_o his_o church_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o bring-in_a by_o uncouth_a

of_o rational_a judgement_n that_o have_v not_o sell_v themselves_o to_o this_o iniquous_a time_n will_v think_v it_o the_o true_a honour_n of_o the_o prince_n to_o keep_v he_o in_o the_o line_n of_o
