from_o he_o and_o so_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o reaccept_v onesimus_fw-la but_o together_o with_o his_o letter_n have_v send_v onesimus_fw-la himself_n who_o have_v now_o go_v so_o

shall_v be_v make_v frustrate_a this_o latter_a i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a force_n of_o the_o argument_n here_o note_v then_o that_o paul_n promise_v himself_o much_o of_o philemon_z and_o trust_v to_o the_o equity_n of_o this_o cause_n do_v not_o first_o write_v to_z philemon_z to_o know_v if_o he_o may_v with_o his_o good_a leave_n and_o like_n send_v onesimus_fw-la but_o send_v both_o he_o and_o his_o letter_n both_o at_o once_o one_o will_v think_v this_o be_v not_o so_o wise_o do_v of_o paul_n for_o first_o he_o shall_v have_v know_v before_o he_o send_v he_o whether_o his_o master_n will_v give_v any_o entertainment_n to_o he_o be_v come_v for_o how_o if_o philemon_z shall_v have_v send_v he_o back_o again_o to_o paul_n what_o a_o deal_n of_o toil_n have_v onesimus_fw-la take_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v easy_a for_o paul_n to_o foresee_v this_o therefore_o paul_n send_v he_o in_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v a_o manifest_a argument_n that_o he_o do_v nothing_o doubt_v of_o philemon_n readiness_n to_o pleasure_v he_o therein_o which_o afterward_o verse_n 21._o he_o confess_v hence_o than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o sometime_o christian_n of_o special_a

great_a inconvenience_n will_v follow_v if_o we_o grant_v not_o their_o desire_n we_o be_v not_o then_o light_o to_o deceive_v their_o hope_n as_o here_o if_o onesimus_fw-la have_v be_v refuse_v his_o
