himself_o be_v the_o surety_n the_o mediator_n the_o testator_n of_o it_o so_o that_o this_o covenant_n shall_v never_o be_v find_v fault_n with_o not_o only_o on_o the_o account_n of_o its_o own_o

become_v ineffectual_a to_o they_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a from_o the_o apostle_n argumentation_n heb._n 8_o 7_o etc._n etc._n for_o if_o the_o first_o covenant_n have_v be_v faultless_a there_o

etc._n hence_o it_o follow_v the_o covenantee_n according_a to_o the_o faultless_a covenant_n must_v so_o continue_v in_o it_o that_o god_n may_v be_v for_o ever_o their_o god_n and_o they_o his_o
