solemn_a and_o serious_a thing_n to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n a_o matter_n of_o such_o great_a weight_n and_o importance_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o god_n shall_v be_v

because_o a_o covenant_n be_v a_o promise_n join_v with_o a_o oath_n it_o be_v a_o mutual_a stipulation_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o break_v promise_n much_o more_o to_o break_v covenant_n three_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o ordinance_n because_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o root_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o
