which_o be_v a_o consideration_n of_o great_a moment_n unto_o the_o jew_n some_o modern_a interpreter_n for_o i_o see_v it_o in_o no_o ancient_a author_n conceive_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v his_o own_o blood_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n he_o slay_v which_o be_v the_o first_o we_o read_v of_o that_o god_n accept_v and_o he_o give_v such_o a_o

be_v yet_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o induce_v they_o to_o make_v this_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n be_v i_o suppose_v the_o little_a advantage_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o
