again_o with_o he_o need_v not_o such_o thing_n to_o remember_v he_o answer_v here_o as_o elsewhere_o his_o argument_n be_v faulty_a by_o argue_v that_o because_o such_o thing_n be_v not_o absolute_o

at_o least_o in_o some_o respect_n god_n better_a know_v what_o we_o need_v than_o we_o do_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o in_o his_o great_a love_n and_o wisdom_n have_v provide_v outward_a help_n
