to_o bring_v it_o forth_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o in_o scripture_n we_o have_v such_o send_n after_o sinner_n and_o cry_v to_o they_o to_o return_v such_o earnest_a wish_n oh_o that_o they_o

the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v need_n of_o renew_v of_o promise_n even_o those_o that_o have_v most_o faith_n god_n renew_v the_o same_o promise_n to_o he_o that_o be_v make_v before_o god_n have_v

there_o be_v little_o come_v of_o it_o and_o then_o the_o six_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o the_o blessing_n 6._o which_o come_v to_o the_o world_n it_o be_v by_o the_o promise_a seed_n he_o tell_v

that_o hosea_n do_v prophesy_v to_o at_o this_o time_n and_o then_o the_o flighth_n thing_n be_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o his_o protection_n be_v the_o only_a encouragement_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o their_o way_n for_o in_o verse_n 15._o say_v god_n behold_v i_o be_o with_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v keep_v thou_o in_o all_o place_n whither_o thou_o go_v this_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o this_o the_o saint_n shall_v make_v high_a account_n of_o and_o then_o the_o nine_o thing_n be_v that_o though_o promise_v be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v yet_o god_n be_v still_o work_v towards_o their_o fulfil_n 9_o for_o so_o he_o tell_v he_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o until_o i_o have_v do_v all_o that_o i_o have_v promise_v to_o thou_o though_o you_o can_v see_v how_o my_o

the_o last_o thing_n be_v this_o which_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o there_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o faithfulness_n 10._o that_o however_o thing_n may_v go_v

the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v promise_v or_o that_o faith_n can_v believe_v shall_v be_v grant_v to_o we_o for_o so_o he_o tell_v jacob_n there_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o till_o i_o have_v do_v that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o thou_o of_o all_o this_o he_o speak_v with_o we_o that_o be_v the_o first_o time_n of_o god_n meeting_n with_o jacob_n in_o bethel_n now_o the_o second_o time_n that_o he_o meet_v with_o jacob_n in_o bethel_n it_o be_v in_o gen._n 35._o 10._o and_o there_o see_v what_o god_n speak_v with_o text._n we_o there_o god_n change_v his_o name_n to_o israel_n there_o god_n confirm_v his_o promise_n and_o covenant_n to_o he_o again_o as_o before_o god_n there_o remember_v his_o prevail_a with_o he_o and_o his_o wrestle_v with_o he_o and_o in_o that_o god_n
