not challenged him There were too reasons He had
great desire to accomplish the ends of the great
rights Another was that he, for twenty years,
had been professor Of the religion Of Christ and he

mistaken il he supposed he had not challenged him
through fear Of him. He feared God more than he did
and would rather encounter the opprobrum OF the
latter than dare the anger of the former He not
