before_o in_o the_o three_o person_n plural_a the_o righteous_a be_v glad_a and_o the_o innocent_a laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_n shall_v as_o it_o may_v be_v think_v rather_o have_v continue_v his_o

there_o he_o speak_v with_o we_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thereby_o signify_v that_o what_o god_n speak_v at_o that_o time_n to_o jacob_n personal_o he_o speak_v to_o all_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o jacob_n whether_o of_o the_o circumcision_n or_o uncircumcision_n virtual_o he_o so_o speak_v to_o jacob_n as_o that_o the_o substance_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o speech_n reach_v down_o to_o and_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o we_o believer_n who_o be_v his_o posterity_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n beside_o this_o other_o scripture_n hold_v out_o the_o like_a variation_n of_o the_o

among_o those_o who_o have_v obtain_v that_o spare_a mercy_n not_o to_o be_v cut_v down_o while_o other_o be_v consume_v and_o so_o this_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n be_v pure_o spiritual_a much_o

about_o vow_n first_o be_v not_o frequent_a in_o make_v vow_n vow_v must_v not_o be_v like_o pray_v a_o every_o day_n work_v we_o may_v not_o vow_v as_o we_o must_v pray_v always_o and_o without_o

carry_v much_o to_o it_o the_o heathen_n make_v many_o vow_n especial_o when_o they_o be_v in_o any_o distress_n and_o so_o mere_a carnal_a man_n will_v do_v to_o this_o day_n vow_v great_a thing_n what_o they_o will_v be_v and_o what_o they_o will_v do_v if_o trouble_v be_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o those_o heathen_a mariner_n make_v vow_n when_o the_o storm_n be_v over_o and_o the_o

be_v a_o rebuke_n to_o some_o christian_n make_v vow_n of_o praise_n and_o thankfullnes_n when_o they_o have_v escape_v the_o storm_n and_o this_o be_v a_o further_a proof_n of_o that_o naturalnes_n which_o be_v in_o man_n to_o make_v vow_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o this_o satisfi_v a_o natural_a man_n and_o fill_v he_o with_o confidence_n that_o he_o shall_v receive_v good_a from_o god_n because_o he_o have_v vow_v duty_n to_o he_o man_n love_v to_o be_v upon_o his_o own_o bottom_n and_o think_v he_o shall_v sure_o engage_v god_n to_o be_v merciful_a while_o himself_o

especial_o of_o conceit_v to_o oblige_v god_n by_o any_o of_o they_o as_o the_o former_a may_v prove_v a_o snare_n and_o a_o entanglement_n to_o we_o so_o the_o latter_a be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n who_o never_o show_v we_o mercy_n more_o free_o then_o when_o we_o bind_v ourselves_o most_o to_o duty_n second_o when_o ever_o you_o vow_v be_v sure_a you_o do_v it_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n none_o discover_v more_o weakeness_n in_o keep_v vow_n than_o they_o who_o make_v vow_n in_o their_o own_o strength_n or_o not_o whole_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n some_o have_v vow_v never_o to_o commit_v such_o a_o sin_n more_o and_o they_o never_o commit_v it_o so_o much_o as_o after_o they_o have_v vow_v some_o have_v think_v to_o get_v cure_n and_o remedy_n against_o
