offer_v himself_o free_o to_o save_v you_o notwithstanding_o your_o crucify_a of_o he_o yet_o now_o repent_v and_o believe_v for_o his_o promise_n be_v upon_o the_o same_o free_o to_o forgive_v and_o

the_o same_o must_v be_v save_v but_o all_o within_o the_o say_a covenant_n be_v not_o save_v ergo_fw-la the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o absolute_a and_o stable_a the_o major_n be_v confess_v

of_o believer_n and_o yet_o not_o all_o save_v 2._o it_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o fall_v from_o grace_n thus_o all_o that_o god_n take_v into_o his_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o a_o estate_n of_o

for_o such_o as_o be_v not_o save_v the_o proof_n of_o this_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o former_a if_o god_n take_v abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n into_o his_o covenant_n of_o grace_n without_o
