the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n to_o do_v they_o the_o promise_n i_o now_o make_v you_o be_v full_a and_o glorious_a enough_o but_o these_o be_v the_o term_n on_o which_o you_o must_v expect_v if_o

it_o be_v appoint_v as_o a_o schoolmaster_n to_o christ_n to_o convince_v the_o jew_n of_o their_o necessity_n of_o a_o saviour_n and_o since_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o all_o the_o son_n
