have_v no_o power_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o to_o break_v off_o their_o sin_n by_o true_a repentance_n than_o it_o follow_v as_o well_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n according_a whereunto_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o former_a covenant_n of_o the_o law_n that_o god_n have_v no_o purpose_n to_o save_v they_o but_o have_v a_o

for_o if_o he_o shall_v he_o shall_v save_v they_o all_o as_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o whatsoever_o god_n require_v by_o this_o covenant_n on_o man_n part_n god_n undertake_v to_o perform_v on_o his_o
