of_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n upon_o the_o immediate_a command_n whereof_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v establish_v between_o god_n and_o man_n but_o the_o main_a reason_n of_o this_o

the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n notwithstanding_o must_v have_v necessary_o fall_v in_o the_o head_n for_o god_n do_v not_o make_v his_o first_o covenant_n with_o the_o sensitive_a seed_n of_o adam_n
