the_o evangelist_n bring_v in_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o stand_v not_o scrupulouse_o upon_o every_o word_n but_o to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o content_v with_o this_o one_o thing_n

will_v have_v the_o priest_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o bless_v in_o his_o name_n as_o mediator_n so_o melchisedech_n bless_v abraham_n 6._o and_o for_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v a_o law_n
