drive_v out_o of_o it_o every_o day_n yet_o possess_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o but_o now_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o abraham_n and_o we_o have_v we_o not_o

that_o man_n do_v abuse_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o we_o ourselves_o do_v see_v how_o they_o turn_v the_o truth_n into_o lie_n but_o yet_o to_o impute_v the_o same_o unto_o god_n word_n it_o be_v

which_o you_o see_v here_o let_v we_o in_o these_o day_n cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o confess_v that_o although_o god_n have_v mighty_o wrought_v towards_o we_o yet_o do_v we_o continue_v as_o

be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o to_o say_v he_o make_v no_o manna_n to_o fall_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o why_o so_o for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v content_v not_o only_o to_o feed_v our_o body_n but_o bring_v we_o also_o the_o spiritual_a food_n to_o nourish_v our_o soul_n which_o be_v not_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o meat_n as_o moses_n do_v give_v for_o although_o the_o prophet_n 78.25_o
