in_o time_n this_o be_v do_v absolute_o in_o god_n bestow_v grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o dead_a creature_n or_o to_o sinner_n as_o sinner_n in_o who_o as_o say_v our_o worthy_a

the_o condition_n of_o see_v god_n and_o of_o have_v eternal_a happiness_n but_o these_o kind_n of_o condition_n be_v not_o foederal_n intitle_v condition_n to_o the_o promise_n but_o be_v contain_v
