which_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v can_v they_o therefore_o void_a the_o law_n itself_o or_o transgress_v and_o violate_v it_o in_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v particular_o

for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n which_o can_v be_v observe_v without_o some_o of_o those_o circumstance_n thus_o as_o to_o baptism_n it_o may_v appoint_v it_o to_o be_v perform_v
