that_o it_o be_v by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o cain_n have_v not_o though_o he_o can_v not_o have_v offer_v without_o revelation_n neither_o now_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o without_o faith_n

that_o he_o offer_v only_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n a_o offer_n unto_o the_o lord_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o vile_a or_o a_o fair_a offer_n it_o make_v no_o matter_n let_v the_o rabbin_n
