hence_o that_o faith_n of_o dependency_n which_o adam_n have_v be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n which_o justify_v faith_n be_v therefore_o to_o the_o argument_n propose_v we_o deny_v that_o great_a

to_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o in_o this_o difference_n also_o there_o be_v much_o absurd_a falsehood_n and_o contradiction_n to_o himself_o contradiction_n i_o say_v for_o
