fit_v to_o receive_v it_o till_o now_o the_o 4_o the_o and_o last_v thing_n be_v to_o consider_v the_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v this_o covenant_n which_o will_v the_o better_o appear_v if_o we_o observe_v that_o after_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n he_o give_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o because_o i_o will_v forgive_v their_o iniquity_n and_o

33.7_o ch_n 50.20_o ez●k_n 36.25_o it_o be_v then_o therefore_o that_o the_o prophet_n say_v the_o lord_n will_v make_v his_o new_a covenant_n with_o they_o and_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o this_o prophecy_n make_v no_o promise_n of_o a_o new_a law_n but_o only_o of_o new_a heart_n to_o receive_v their_o old_a law_n which_o prophecy_n also_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v fulfil_v after_o their_o return_n from_o captivity_n and_o so_o to_o have_v no_o tendency_n either_o to_o mahomet_n or_o his_o alcoran_n turk_n do_v not_o the_o jew_n
