which_o believe_v and_o be_v son_n to_o abraham_n by_o faith_n and_o trust_v well_o abraham_n do_v many_o noble_a and_o heroical_a work_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o none_o of_o these_o

and_o i_o shall_v put_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o &_o shall_v multiply_v thy_o seed_n exceed_o &_o thou_o be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n 21._o and_o after_o this_o god_n
