which_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n and_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v here_o cite_v in_o this_o chapter_n the_o proceed_n of_o god_n upon_o pharaoh_n that_o as_o their_o god_n deliver_v israel_n from_o

and_o the_o hairy_a scalp_n of_o these_o that_o go_v on_o in_o their_o wickedness_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o pharaoh_n and_o let_v man_n make_v this_o construction_n of_o all_o god_n deliverance_n to_o

swallow_v up_o and_o this_o prove_v the_o former_a proposition_n more_o firm_o that_o the_o time_n of_o jacob_n love_n must_v be_v the_o time_n of_o esau_n hatred_n for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o

of_o scripture_n as_o in_o esay_n the_o 10._o vers_fw-la the_o 24.25_o and_o 26._o where_o he_o describe_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n proceed_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o be_v according_a to_o

to_o do_v what_o he_o bid_v they_o to_o go_v when_o he_o bid_v they_o go_v and_o to_o stand_v when_o he_o bid_v they_o stand_v and_o so_o must_v we_o or_o they_o in_o the_o second_o salvation_n by_o
