the_o mercy_n promise_v nay_o he_o have_v give_v i_o christ_n himself_o to_o perform_v the_o mercy_n promise_v luk._n 1._o thus_o they_o see_v all_o thing_n lie_v under_o a_o promise_n in_o that_o

they_o in_o their_o relation_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o threaten_n as_o lie_v under_o the_o threaten_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v this_o especial_o because_o otherwise_o you_o do_v not_o see_v the_o whole_a work_n of_o god_n when_o you_o do_v see_v it_o before_o you_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o israel_n deut._n 29._o 4._o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o
