grace_n it_o be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n heb._n 13._o 20._o now_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n god_n promise_v a_o world_n of_o mercy_n yea_o no_o less_o than_o

indeed_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v now_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o these_o be_v but_o seal_n of_o a_o second_o nature_n
