by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o so_o can_v not_o but_o come_v to_o pass_v answ●_n it_o be_v true_a instance_n can_v prove_v such_o assertion_n neither_o be_v it_o our_o intent_n to_o

a_o present_a necessity_n of_o the_o fulfilment_n thereof_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n who_o be_v humble_v before_o god_n and_o immediate_o to_o be_v ruin_v if_o he_o have_v
