that_o be_v apt_a to_o fix_v on_o this_o covenant_n and_o draw_v comfort_n or_o discouragement_n to_o himself_o from_o his_o own_o obedience_n or_o fail_n and_o not_o live_v on_o the_o freeness_n of_o god_n love_n and_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o all_o condition_n for_o his_o christ_n sake_n this_o have_v be_v the_o great_a error_n of_o israel_n even_o of_o
