extent
3. Plain. V. 81. Discreet. Lange says:

and garlic, are the principal food of persons of

a mass, and making pottage of n chocolate

privileges. and we see the folly of parting with
salvation ut any price.

When TOTAL is humbled, and brought to the

All those who are needy, all those who, athirst,

When that is exhausted then women will FINE
And men, with deep sorrow, al Fate will repine,

For this reason these elements must be adued
