our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n tell_v the_o church_n that_o he_o know_v their_o work_n his_o scope_n be_v not_o to_o discover_v to_o they_o what_o knowledge_n he_o have_v by_o revelation_n from_o the_o

of_o search_v and_o try_v heart_n and_o reins_n to_o himself_o as_o his_o own_o proper_a prerogative_n which_o none_o be_v enable_v to_o challenge_v in_o jer._n 179_o 10._o the_o heart_n be_v
