1_o tim._n 6._o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o you_o so_o strange_o delight_v in_o ask_v of_o they_o especial_o in_o matter_n where_o faith_n alone_o must_v give_v the_o last_o solution_n and_o therefore_o to_o all_o your_o twenty_o bold_a query_n about_o the_o scripture_n take_v this_o general_a answer_n that_o when_o you_o have_v satisfy_v i_o you_o do_v not_o sin_n great_o in_o raise_v
