they are Heirs of all, of

all

the inheritance;

the

whole inheritance

is

every ones. Among

men

the

more one hath,

the

the other

bath

;

a

(

though he be

If

O it's

true,

Is

not

Ephraim

my

dear

Son

?

The

Saints

in

former

times

,

but

in

the times

of

the

Gofpel, they

have far

higher

priviledge

and

prerogative then
