for_o what_o be_v thus_o personal_a hundred_o of_o time_n in_o scripture_n §_o 24._o but_o as_o to_o the_o question_n have_v we_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o innocency_n we_o must_v confess_v guilt_n

of_o a_o name_n of_o your_o own_o introduction_n for_o illustration_n if_o we_o be_v play_v at_o a_o game_n of_o trope_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o heal_n of_o man_n unbelief_n be_v
