these_o two_o as_o to_o several_a of_o these_o point_n the_o latter_a must_v be_v it_o 1_o because_o experience_n show_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n not_o evident_a to_o all_o in_o many_o great_a

new-testament-scripture_n this_o office_n of_o the_o proposal_n of_o all_o divine_a necessary_a truth_n to_o the_o people_n belong_v to_o the_o church-guide_n to_o timothy_n titus_n and_o other_o
