the_o duty_n of_o man_n which_o he_o do_v owe_v to_o god_n his_o confederate_a and_o sovereign_a prince_n therefore_o god_n for_o his_o part_n say_v i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o saddai_n that_o

to_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o first_o he_o say_v to_o thy_o seed_n will_v i_o give_v the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n in_o which_o promise_n he_o comprehend_v all_o earthly_a &_o bodily_a
