that_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o abundant_o merciful_a in_o make_v of_o his_o promise_n that_o he_o exclude_v no_o sort_n of_o person_n neither_o jew_n nor_o grecian_a bond_n or_o free_a high_a nor_o

rather_o then_o must_v one_o gather_v the_o quite_o contrary_a argument_n against_o the_o devil_n and_o carnal_a reason_n 2.1_o and_o thus_o return_v their_o argument_n all_o god_n child_n for_o the_o
