a_o twofold_a covenant_n first_o a_o single_a covenant_n such_o as_o god_n make_v with_o child_n when_o they_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v this_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v and_o

both_o part_n which_o be_v this_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v you_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o heart_n and_o you_o shall_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v save_v i_o begin_v the_o work_n and_o i_o will_v finish_v it_o here_o be_v not_o only_o a_o covenant_n on_o god_n part_n to_o be_v our_o father_n but_o on_o our_o part_n also_o as_o in_o the_o other_o but_o god_n do_v not_o only_o promise_v for_o his_o part_n but_o make_v a_o covenant_n to_o to_o enable_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o condition_n on_o our_o part_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o
