of_o divine_a revelation_n and_o such_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o abel_n as_o the_o apostle_n there_o describe_v it_o for_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v 11.6_o and_o

with_o the_o same_o qualification_n it_o have_v be_v reward_v with_o the_o same_o acceptance_n and_o thus_o do_v our_o author_n way_n of_o argue_v multiply_v difficulty_n upon_o himself_o for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o any_o force_n it_o will_v infer_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o divine_a command_n to_o determine_v the_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n as_o well_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n and_o then_o
