effect_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o apostle_n peter_n tell_v we_o 2_o petr._n 1._o 20._o that_o we_o must_v not_o

that_o be_v the_o scriptural_a word_n but_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a spirit_n who_o wisdom_n be_v above_o all_o private_a concernment_n and_o do_v

a_o law_n be_v give_v for_o ox_n that_o do_v tread_v out_o the_o corn_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v muzzele_v the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 9_o 9_o 10._o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o

these_o rule_n in_o their_o use_n be_v complicate_v and_o become_v one_o prospective_n of_o the_o sens_fw-fr although_o their_o notion_n be_v thus_o distinguish_v therefore_o in_o their_o
