because_o they_o know_v y_fw-mi all_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v unto_o man_n he_o give_v they_o for_o christ_n sake_n who_o be_v only_o belove_v therefore_o both_o in_o set_v out_o benefit_n receive_v and_o foretell_v the_o blessing_n which_o god_n will_v sure_o bring_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o word_n they_o have_v respect_n to_o he_o in_o who_o all_o god_n promise_n be_v accomplish_v

that_o though_o most_o of_o their_o prophecy_n have_v a_o truth_n of_o the_o present_a time_n and_o incident_a unto_o themselves_o yet_o they_o be_v also_o true_o and_o according_a to_o the_o

shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v more_o after_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o prophecy_n be_v apply_v out_o of_o which_o the_o apostle_n second_o argument_n of_o his_o exhortation_n be_v this_o
