that_o need_v correction_n and_o that_o be_v what_o he_o say_v of_o god_n conditional_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o man_n upon_o such_o and_o such_o a_o condition_n i_o humble_o conceive_v this_o be_v a_o mistake_n one_o man_n indeed_o may_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o another_o man_n upon_o a_o condition_n so_o as_o to_o suspend_v the_o very_a make_n of_o the_o promise_n upon_o the_o condition_n and_o if_o the_o other_o man_n do_v not_o accept_v or_o perform_v the_o condition_n the_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o he_o at_o all_o but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v otherwise_o between_o god_n and_o man._n god_n be_v infinite_o superior_a to_o we_o and_o he_o absolute_o make_v his_o conditional_a promise_n to_o we_o without_o ask_v our_o consent_n i_o say_v that_o god_n make_v of_o the_o conditional_a promise_n be_v absolute_a but_o the_o promise_v make_v be_v conditional_a and_o god_n prescribe_v the_o condition_n to_o we_o and_o command_v we_o to_o perform_v it_o but_o then_o god_n

when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o doctrine_n he_o say_v it_o reprove_v those_o who_o reject_v this_o duty_n as_o legal_a certain_o those_o who_o find_v not_o this_o in_o the_o
