be_v yet_o time_n enough_o for_o christ_n to_o iterate_v his_o offering_n and_o by_o a_o just_a proportion_n equal_v the_o number_n of_o the_o legal_a offering_n although_o he_o begin_v not_o to_o

for_o otherwise_o he_o must_v have_v begin_v this_o action_n more_o early_o and_o not_o have_v defer_v it_o to_o the_o last_o age_n of_o the_o world_n 27._o and_o as_o it_o

the_o pronoune_n it_o though_o it_o may_v be_v relative_a to_o the_o blessing_n yet_o it_o rather_o seem_v referable_a to_o repentance_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o the_o repentance_n of_o esau_n but_o
