and_o then_o only_o cast_v his_o favour_n on_o they_o and_o observe_v a_o second_o difference_n all_o god_n path_n be_v mercy_n to_o his_o people_n not_o some_o few_o there_o be_v none_o of_o god_n

the_o former_a all_o the_o path_n of_o god_n be_v not_o only_a mercy_n but_o mercy_n and_o truth_n to_o his_o people_n though_o god_n may_v show_v mercy_n to_o other_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o tie_v his_o mercy_n to_o they_o by_o his_o truth_n they_o can_v challenge_v mercy_n from_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o truth_n if_o they_o have_v mercy_n it_o be_v more_o than_o they_o can_v have_v
