and_o if_o you_o mind_n the_o argument_n you_o will_v see_v that_o he_o argue_v very_o plain_o and_o evident_o they_o be_v not_o all_o israel_n say_v he_o which_o be_v of_o israel_n neither_o because_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v they_o all_o child_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o all_o heir_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o in_o

the_o inheritance_n but_o isaac_n who_o come_v of_o the_o freewoman_n he_o have_v but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o will_v bring_v you_o another_o instance_n against_o which_o you_o shall_v have_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o object_n and_o that_o be_v of_o rebecca_n she_o also_o conceive_v by_o one_o even_o by_o our_o father_n isaac_n now_o you_o can_v say_v that_o esau_n and_o jacob_n be_v bear_v
