a_o truth_n but_o not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n for_o in_o the_o 23._o verse_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o ordination_n give_v charge_n to_o timothy_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o sudden_o admit_v any_o into_o ecclesiastical_a office_n lest_o he_o do_v partake_v with_o their_o sin_n now_o in_o this_o 24._o verse_n he_o render_v a_o reason_n thereof_o say_v some_o man_n sin_n be_v open_a

remember_v for_o a_o ground_n that_o every_o sin_n in_o what_o degree_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v mortal_a of_o itself_o and_o no_o sin_n be_v venial_a in_o it_o own_o nature_n for_o the_o ●ages_n
