the_o cause_n or_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v add_v a_o conditional_a ministry_n and_o several_a conditional_a promise_n with_o positive_a duty_n to_o a_o absolute_a covenant_n answ_n 1._o that_o therein_o he_o may_v hold_v forth_o as_o in_o the_o one_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o absoluteness_n of_o his_o purpose_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n so_o in_o the_o
