this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v examine_v before_o we_o give_v it_o a_o let-pass_n for_o my_o part_n i_o distinguish_v not_o two_o calling_n but_o compound_v one_o calling_n of_o the_o word_n and_o

as_o of_o the_o gospel_n see_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n come_v to_o call_v man_n to_o repentance_n and_o faith_n for_o their_o recovery_n after_o notice_n take_v of_o their_o
