searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n know_v i_o have_v no_o other_o design_n in_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o subject_a in_o this_o place_n but_o that_o i_o may_v cast_v in_o my_o mite_n and_o apply_v some_o

indeed_o and_o it_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o a_o prolepsis_n as_o if_o some_o shall_v object_n to_o the_o apostle_n thus_o much_o true_o indeed_o you_o have_v bring_v many_o strong_a reason_n and_o

we_o be_v so_o much_o divide_v that_o it_o seem_v impossible_a for_o can_v you_o imagine_v to_o bring_v the_o weak_a to_o yield_v to_o the_o strong_a or_o the_o strong_a to_o forbear_v the_o weak_a by_o reason_n or_o argument_n no_o i_o fear_v we_o be_v too_o much_o heat_v already_o to_o harken_v to_o reason_n now_o to_o this_o the_o apostle_n here_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o reply_n true_o

from_o the_o author_n god_n {non-roman}_o who_o be_v here_o describe_v by_o two_o admirable_a property_n patience_n and_o consolation_n now_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n and_o consolation_n origen_n
