from_o john_n testimony_n which_o say_v 41.42_o say_v v._o 41.42_o that_o in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v crucify_v there_o be_v a_o garden_n and_o in_o the_o garden_n a_o new_a sepulchre_n

with_o one_o of_o these_o two_o argument_n follow_v that_o be_v either_o like_o corah_n and_o that_o company_n they_o tell_v the_o son_n of_o levi_n they_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o they_o to_o

to_o the_o true_a annihilate_v of_o their_o acquire_v and_o put_v on_o form_n of_o knowledge_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o they_o must_v defend_v that_o estate_n in_o which_o they_o

the_o malice_n of_o satan_n against_o our_o heart_n happiness_n the_o second_o prop_n uphold_v the_o infidelity_n and_o pride_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v neglect_n of_o examination_n of_o our_o
