the_o parent_n and_o god_n do_v it_o as_o he_o see_v fit_a so_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n now_o gather_v it_o up_o child_n be_v federal_o holy_a because_o they_o come_v of_o holy_a parent_n they_o be_v holy_a because_o of_o the_o covenant_n which_o they_o receive_v god_n bring_v they_o in_o because_o he_o love_v they_o and_o he_o love_v they_o because_o he_o love_v they_o and_o because_o

if_o they_o do_v not_o see_v this_o 3_o it_o be_v a_o practice_n that_o do_v overthrow_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o so_o a_o nation_n may_v be_v corrupt_v and_o
