nature_n to_o this_o the_o prophecy_n and_o promise_n refer_v and_o we_o must_v render_v to_o each_o their_o due_a in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o instruction_n to_o the_o son_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o spirit_n t._n e._n have_v make_v the_o most_o untrue_a and_o desperate_a choice_n that_o can_v be_v the_o apostle_n to_o receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o immediate_a
