and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n this_o method_n of_o god_n save_v sinner_n by_o way_n of_o covenant_n as_o be_v before_o explain_v be_v very_o well_o consistent_a with_o and_o no_o way_n

of_o faith_n or_o fear_v or_o love_n or_o adoption_n to_o entitle_v they_o to_o the_o promise_n and_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n no_o neither_o sun_n nor_o star_n appear_v that_o may_v
