here_o be_v two_o query_n the_o apostle_n answer_v to_o the_o first_o much_o every_o way_n but_o chief_o that_o to_o they_o be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n that_o be_v all_o the_o

they_o have_v heart_n to_o make_v use_n thereof_o for_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n many_o indeed_o lose_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o it_o but_o because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n which_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o yet_o this_o unbelief_n can_v not_o make_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o none_o effect_n for_o though_o some_o do_v not_o believe_v yet_o other_o do_v not_o all_o but_o some_o do_v not_o believe_v for_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o as_o he_o keep_v truth_n in_o his_o promise_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v always_o some_o in_o the_o church_n which_o shall_v believe_v they_o thus_o rom._n 9.7_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o all_o the_o

then_o be_v there_o no_o subject_n leave_v for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n for_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v who_o be_v elect_v and_o who_o not_o it_o be_v therefore_o far_o better_a to_o give_v
