of_o positive_a and_o the_o other_o of_o moral_a command_n but_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o affirm_v that_o god_n make_v two_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o adam_n of_o such_o a_o differ_a nature_n therefore_o one_o of_o the_o two_o must_v needs_o be_v null_a but_o the_o covenant_n concern_v the_o two_o tree_n can_v be_v null_a because_o that_o covenant_n be_v express_v in_o the_o text_n
