That's<00:01:11.780><c> the</c><00:01:12.140><c> plan.</c>

00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:17.640
As<00:01:13.340><c> you</c><00:01:13.500><c> know,</c><00:01:13.959><c> these</c><00:01:14.959><c> tend</c><00:01:15.480><c> to</c><00:01:15.700><c> go</c><00:01:15.859><c> a</c><00:01:15.920><c> little</c><00:01:16.140><c> slower</c><00:01:16.500><c> when</c><00:01:16.719><c> you're</c><00:01:16.920><c> looking</c><00:01:17.159><c> at</c>

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.640

00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:25.500
And<00:01:23.540><c> we</c><00:01:23.840><c> got</c><00:01:24.019><c> about</c><00:01:24.299><c> halfway</c><00:01:24.599><c> through</c><00:01:24.939><c> them</c><00:01:25.120><c> yesterday.</c>

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.579
because<00:01:42.400><c> we're</c><00:01:42.760><c> trying</c><00:01:42.959><c> to</c><00:01:43.079><c> find</c><00:01:43.180><c> an</c><00:01:43.439><c> answer</c><00:01:43.700><c> to</c><00:01:43.879><c> this</c><00:01:44.099><c> question,</c>

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:48.560

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.219

00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:57.079
to<00:01:54.540><c> ever</c><00:01:54.879><c> transform</c><00:01:55.540><c> the</c><00:01:55.780><c> people</c><00:01:56.040><c> in</c><00:01:56.319><c> Crete?</c>

00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.760
You<00:01:57.519><c> remember</c><00:01:57.700><c> yesterday</c><00:01:58.040><c> we</c><00:01:58.219><c> talked</c><00:01:58.519><c> about</c><00:01:58.739><c> whether</c><00:01:59.299><c> Paul</c>

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.579
thought<00:02:00.040><c> he</c><00:02:00.060><c> could</c><00:02:00.239><c> do</c><00:02:00.379><c> it</c><00:02:00.459><c> himself.</c>

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.780
He<00:02:02.099><c> probably</c><00:02:02.540><c> could</c><00:02:02.799><c> have</c><00:02:03.120><c> convinced</c><00:02:03.939><c> all</c><00:02:04.260><c> of</c><00:02:04.359><c> them</c><00:02:04.459><c> for</c><00:02:04.680><c> a</c>

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:06.040
little<00:02:04.980><c> time.</c>

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:10.199
And<00:02:06.760><c> Titus,</c><00:02:07.120><c> if</c><00:02:07.299><c> he'd</c><00:02:07.579><c> stayed</c><00:02:07.780><c> there</c><00:02:08.060><c> and</c><00:02:08.219><c> just</c><00:02:08.479><c> used</c><00:02:08.759><c> authority,</c><00:02:09.500><c> he</c><00:02:09.699><c> might</c><00:02:09.939><c> have</c>

00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.680
convinced<00:02:10.659><c> quite</c><00:02:10.960><c> a</c><00:02:11.080><c> number</c><00:02:11.240><c> of</c><00:02:11.439><c> them</c><00:02:11.639><c> for</c><00:02:12.000><c> a</c><00:02:12.120><c> short</c><00:02:12.360><c> time.</c>

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:16.919
But<00:02:12.860><c> the</c><00:02:13.039><c> only</c><00:02:13.240><c> way</c><00:02:13.500><c> to</c><00:02:13.759><c> really</c><00:02:14.340><c> change</c><00:02:14.979><c> all</c><00:02:15.539><c> of</c><00:02:15.719><c> them,</c>

00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.639
and<00:02:17.740><c> if</c><00:02:18.539><c> you</c><00:02:18.780><c> like,</c><00:02:20.219><c> probably</c><00:02:20.219><c> end</c><00:02:20.479><c> up</c><00:02:20.719><c> changing</c><00:02:21.060><c> just</c><00:02:21.379><c> a</c><00:02:21.539><c> few</c>

00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.740
of<00:02:21.740><c> them,</c><00:02:21.840><c> but</c><00:02:22.000><c> for</c><00:02:22.159><c> all</c><00:02:22.340><c> the</c><00:02:22.560><c> time,</c><00:02:23.639><c> would</c><00:02:23.740><c> be</c><00:02:24.099><c> to</c><00:02:24.319><c> have</c><00:02:24.439><c> them</c>

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:27.060
converted<00:02:25.259><c> by</c><00:02:25.560><c> the</c><00:02:25.740><c> Word</c><00:02:25.840><c> itself.</c>

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:31.000
Now,<00:02:28.180><c> I</c><00:02:28.240><c> think</c><00:02:28.400><c> we're</c><00:02:28.560><c> going</c><00:02:28.680><c> to</c><00:02:28.800><c> see</c><00:02:29.000><c> that</c><00:02:29.419><c> come</c><00:02:29.620><c> out</c><00:02:29.780><c> of</c><00:02:29.900><c> this.</c>

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.319
In<00:02:31.560><c> fact,</c><00:02:31.840><c> I</c><00:02:32.240><c> really</c><00:02:32.580><c> don't</c><00:02:32.780><c> see</c><00:02:32.979><c> there's</c><00:02:33.219><c> much</c><00:02:33.520><c> hope</c><00:02:33.979><c> otherwise,</c><00:02:34.659><c> because</c>

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.259
what<00:02:36.300><c> would</c><00:02:36.520><c> we</c><00:02:36.840><c> do?</c>

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.020
You<00:02:37.620><c> know,</c><00:02:37.780><c> so</c><00:02:37.979><c> many</c><00:02:38.199><c> generations</c><00:02:38.740><c> removed</c><00:02:39.280><c> from</c><00:02:39.520><c> this</c><00:02:39.759><c> situation.</c>

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.979
We<00:02:40.180><c> don't</c><00:02:40.419><c> have</c><00:02:40.719><c> Titus</c><00:02:41.000><c> to</c><00:02:41.159><c> come</c><00:02:41.280><c> into</c><00:02:41.500><c> our</c><00:02:41.759><c> midst,</c><00:02:42.780><c> although</c>

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.360
it<00:02:43.120><c> may</c><00:02:43.340><c> be,</c><00:02:43.500><c> as</c><00:02:43.620><c> we</c><00:02:43.780><c> mentioned</c><00:02:44.020><c> yesterday,</c><00:02:44.879><c> timely.</c>

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.139
When<00:02:46.159><c> we</c><00:02:46.360><c> get</c><00:02:46.659><c> to</c><00:02:46.960><c> a</c><00:02:47.039><c> point</c><00:02:47.300><c> in</c><00:02:47.560><c> our</c><00:02:48.120><c> ecclesial</c><00:02:48.539><c> problems,</c><00:02:49.120><c> we</c>

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:51.900
can<00:02:49.439><c> handle</c><00:02:49.759><c> it,</c><00:02:50.039><c> to</c><00:02:50.219><c> have</c><00:02:50.319><c> someone</c><00:02:50.599><c> come</c><00:02:50.759><c> in</c><00:02:50.939><c> and</c><00:02:51.020><c> help</c><00:02:51.180><c> us.</c>

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:57.400
But<00:02:52.539><c> generally,</c><00:02:53.259><c> it's</c><00:02:53.400><c> the</c><00:02:53.639><c> Word</c><00:02:53.960><c> that</c><00:02:54.280><c> must</c><00:02:54.620><c> do</c><00:02:55.300><c> the</c><00:02:56.379><c> changing.</c>

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.879
Now,<00:02:58.860><c> that</c><00:02:59.080><c> should</c><00:02:59.319><c> be</c><00:02:59.599><c> a</c><00:02:59.780><c> characteristic</c><00:03:00.259><c> of</c><00:03:00.500><c> us,</c><00:03:00.979><c> as</c><00:03:01.219><c> you</c><00:03:01.379><c> know.</c>

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.120
The<00:03:02.539><c> Bible</c><00:03:03.159><c> calls</c><00:03:04.259><c> people</c><00:03:05.020><c> to</c><00:03:05.620><c> be</c><00:03:06.039><c> a</c><00:03:06.360><c> peculiar</c><00:03:06.979><c> people,</c><00:03:07.800><c> a</c>

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:26.920
Well,<00:08:26.120><c> let</c><00:08:26.199><c> me</c><00:08:26.279><c> ask</c><00:08:26.519><c> you</c><00:08:26.680><c> a</c><00:08:26.759><c> couple.</c>

And<00:10:34.620><c> I</c><00:10:34.820><c> think</c><00:10:35.039><c> often,</c><00:10:35.440><c> you</c><00:10:35.779><c> know,</c><00:10:35.879><c> we</c><00:10:36.100><c> look</c><00:10:36.240><c> at</c><00:10:36.360><c> our</c><00:10:36.600><c> blessings</c>

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.360
If<00:10:38.340><c> we</c><00:10:38.559><c> were</c><00:10:38.860><c> all</c><00:10:39.279><c> absolutely</c><00:10:39.799><c> identical,</c><00:10:40.440><c> unlike</c><00:10:40.600><c> Jesus</c><00:10:41.139><c> Christ</c><00:10:41.740><c> in</c>

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:46.600
that<00:10:43.340><c> would</c><00:10:43.539><c> be</c><00:10:43.860><c> wonderful,</c><00:10:45.159><c> but</c><00:10:45.379><c> we're</c><00:10:45.580><c> not.</c>

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.779
And<00:10:47.679><c> sometimes</c><00:10:48.139><c> people</c><00:10:48.639><c> dwell</c><00:10:49.000><c> on</c><00:10:49.360><c> differences,</c>

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:53.080

00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.740

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.299
who<00:12:24.500><c> knows</c><00:12:24.879><c> how</c><00:12:25.340><c> that</c><00:12:25.659><c> person</c><00:12:26.580><c> judges</c><00:12:27.460><c> the</c><00:12:28.100><c> situations</c><00:12:28.679><c> we</c><00:12:28.899><c> have</c><00:12:29.120><c> to</c>

deal<00:12:29.500><c> with.</c>

00:12:29.779 --> 00:12:31.759
But<00:12:29.960><c> the</c><00:12:30.179><c> average</c><00:12:30.500><c> person</c><00:12:30.799><c> in</c><00:12:30.919><c> the</c><00:12:31.039><c> ecclesia</c><00:12:31.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:12:31.500><c> have</c>

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:41.179

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:48.480
There's<00:12:46.539><c> no</c><00:12:46.679><c> way</c><00:12:46.840><c> we</c><00:12:46.960><c> can</c><00:12:47.159><c> tell</c><00:12:47.340><c> how</c><00:12:47.519><c> that</c><00:12:47.720><c> person</c><00:12:48.000><c> would</c><00:12:48.240><c> act</c>

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:53.840

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:59.279
Now<00:17:57.980><c> that's</c><00:17:58.200><c> key.</c>

00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:04.440

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:16.119

00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:20.859
But<00:18:17.700><c> it's</c><00:18:18.039><c> quite</c><00:18:18.319><c> obvious</c><00:18:18.900><c> to</c><00:18:19.420><c> listen</c><00:18:19.799><c> to</c><00:18:20.039><c> a</c><00:18:20.220><c> brother</c><00:18:20.440><c> as</c><00:18:20.720><c> to</c>

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:34.700

their<00:26:27.440><c> mouths</c><00:26:27.759><c> would</c><00:26:28.000><c> be</c><00:26:28.359><c> stopped</c><00:26:28.640><c> and</c><00:26:28.920><c> the</c><00:26:29.119><c> subversion</c><00:26:29.599><c> that</c>

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.779

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:36.839
I<00:26:35.039><c> don't</c><00:26:35.180><c> want</c><00:26:35.319><c> to</c><00:26:35.480><c> spend</c><00:26:35.599><c> too</c><00:26:35.799><c> much</c><00:26:35.960><c> time</c><00:26:36.160><c> on</c><00:26:36.240><c> that</c><00:26:36.480><c> because</c><00:26:36.500><c> I</c>

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:38.099
do<00:26:37.039><c> think</c><00:26:37.160><c> we</c><00:26:37.339><c> did</c><00:26:37.559><c> say</c><00:26:37.799><c> a</c><00:26:37.960><c> little</c>

00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:40.920
and<00:26:38.180><c> that's</c><00:26:38.960><c> all</c><00:26:39.220><c> I</c><00:26:39.359><c> want</c><00:26:39.500><c> to</c><00:26:39.579><c> say</c><00:26:39.720><c> about</c><00:26:39.900><c> that.</c>

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:47.680
So<00:26:41.880><c> as</c><00:26:42.059><c> we</c><00:26:42.240><c> go</c><00:26:42.420><c> on,</c><00:26:44.660><c> it</c><00:26:44.759><c> says</c><00:26:45.059><c> that</c><00:26:45.380><c> we</c><00:26:45.559><c> should</c><00:26:46.099><c> hold</c><00:26:46.900><c> fast</c><00:26:47.460><c> to</c>

these<00:26:47.920><c> things.</c>

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.440
That's<00:26:48.559><c> the</c><00:26:48.660><c> idea</c><00:26:48.980><c> of</c><00:26:49.839><c> verse</c><00:26:50.119><c> 9.</c>

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:22.640
Therefore,<00:27:17.259><c> brethren,</c><00:27:18.319><c> stand</c><00:27:18.819><c> fast</c><00:27:19.539><c> and</c><00:27:20.279><c> hold</c><00:27:21.039><c> the</c><00:27:21.460><c> traditions</c><00:27:22.240><c> that</c><00:27:22.460><c> you</c>

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:53.299

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:16.000
I<00:28:12.920><c> mean,</c><00:28:13.079><c> if</c><00:28:13.180><c> it's</c><00:28:13.599><c> by</c><00:28:14.119><c> word,</c><00:28:15.240><c> you</c><00:28:15.400><c> would</c><00:28:15.559><c> say,</c><00:28:15.720><c> well,</c><00:28:15.819><c> how</c><00:28:15.880><c> do</c>

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.619
you<00:28:16.000><c> know</c><00:28:16.099><c> that's</c><00:28:16.359><c> right?</c>

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:18.200
I<00:28:16.859><c> mean,</c><00:28:16.859><c> it's</c><00:28:17.059><c> not</c><00:28:17.200><c> recorded</c><00:28:17.700><c> somewhere.</c>

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:20.839
That's<00:28:18.819><c> just</c><00:28:18.920><c> being</c><00:28:19.160><c> passed,</c><00:28:19.440><c> that's</c><00:28:19.680><c> what</c><00:28:20.019><c> the</c><00:28:20.299><c> Word</c><00:28:20.440><c> is.</c>

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:22.819
That's<00:28:21.259><c> how</c><00:28:21.339><c> it's</c><00:28:21.460><c> being</c><00:28:21.740><c> passed</c><00:28:22.039><c> down,</c><00:28:22.279><c> that</c><00:28:22.380><c> this</c><00:28:22.559><c> is</c><00:28:22.660><c> what</c>

the<00:28:23.039><c> apostle</c><00:28:23.339><c> said.</c>

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.799
In<00:28:24.940><c> some</c><00:28:25.140><c> cases,</c><00:28:25.460><c> it</c><00:28:25.619><c> would</c><00:28:25.740><c> have</c><00:28:25.819><c> been</c><00:28:26.000><c> written.</c>

00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:29.619
So<00:28:27.140><c> I</c><00:28:27.200><c> think</c><00:28:27.339><c> it</c><00:28:27.519><c> would</c><00:28:27.599><c> have</c><00:28:27.680><c> been</c><00:28:27.700><c> very</c><00:28:28.000><c> challenging</c><00:28:28.619><c> in</c>

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:30.440
that<00:28:29.839><c> first</c><00:28:30.039><c> century</c>

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.579
for<00:28:30.680><c> people</c><00:28:31.039><c> to</c><00:28:31.319><c> respond</c><00:28:31.920><c> fully</c><00:28:32.500><c> to</c><00:28:33.039><c> the</c><00:28:33.200><c> message</c><00:28:33.460><c> of</c><00:28:33.640><c> the</c><00:28:33.779><c> Word.</c>

00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.500
And<00:28:34.900><c> maybe</c><00:28:35.079><c> illustrates</c><00:28:35.740><c> that</c><00:28:36.119><c> God</c><00:28:36.319><c> expects</c><00:28:36.980><c> more</c><00:28:37.480><c> of</c><00:28:37.759><c> us</c>

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:41.400
because<00:28:39.119><c> more</c><00:28:39.339><c> is</c><00:28:39.599><c> given</c><00:28:39.819><c> to</c><00:28:40.259><c> us.</c>

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:45.900
And<00:28:42.640><c> that's</c><00:28:42.920><c> fair.</c><00:28:43.700><c> I'm</c><00:28:43.880><c> sure</c><00:28:44.059><c> we'd</c><00:28:44.339><c> recognize</c><00:28:44.660><c> that's</c><00:28:45.900><c> fair.</c>

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:49.720
That<00:28:46.339><c> to</c><00:28:46.440><c> whom</c><00:28:46.579><c> much</c><00:28:46.819><c> is</c><00:28:47.099><c> given,</c><00:28:48.200><c> much</c><00:28:48.460><c> is</c><00:28:48.759><c> required.</c>

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:58.220
Now,<00:28:55.279><c> as</c><00:28:55.480><c> we</c><00:28:55.579><c> go</c><00:28:55.720><c> down</c><00:28:55.980><c> in</c><00:28:56.339><c> that</c><00:28:56.740><c> Titus</c><00:28:57.039><c> chapter</c><00:28:57.680><c> 1,</c>

there's<00:28:58.799><c> a</c><00:28:59.119><c> little</c><00:28:59.980><c> section</c><00:29:00.440><c> there</c><00:29:01.019><c> which</c><00:29:01.660><c> you</c><00:29:03.519><c> could</c><00:29:03.779><c> elaborate</c><00:29:04.779><c> on</c><00:29:05.059><c> at</c>

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.019
great<00:29:05.619><c> length.</c>

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.859
I<00:29:06.160><c> don't</c><00:29:06.339><c> particularly</c><00:29:06.680><c> want</c><00:29:06.880><c> to</c><00:29:07.019><c> do</c><00:29:07.160><c> that</c><00:29:07.380><c> one,</c><00:29:07.480><c> but</c><00:29:07.599><c> I</c><00:29:07.700><c> want</c>

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.519
because<00:29:10.680><c> I</c><00:29:10.880><c> think</c><00:29:11.980><c> it's</c><00:29:12.980><c> quite</c><00:29:13.180><c> possible</c><00:29:13.680><c> to</c><00:29:13.920><c> be</c><00:29:14.119><c> wrong</c><00:29:14.380><c> in</c>

what<00:29:14.660><c> you</c><00:29:14.940><c> think</c><00:29:15.180><c> about</c><00:29:16.059><c> verse</c><00:29:16.519><c> 15,</c>

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:23.220
where<00:29:18.000><c> it</c><00:29:18.119><c> says,</c><00:29:19.019><c> unto</c><00:29:19.019><c> the</c><00:29:19.420><c> pure</c><00:29:19.880><c> all</c><00:29:20.759><c> things</c><00:29:21.200><c> are</c><00:29:21.599><c> pure.</c>

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.980
But<00:29:26.400><c> unto</c><00:29:26.660><c> them</c><00:29:26.880><c> that</c><00:29:27.019><c> are</c><00:29:27.319><c> defiled</c><00:29:28.039><c> and</c><00:29:28.220><c> unbelieving</c><00:29:28.680><c> is</c>

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:29.680
nothing<00:29:29.339><c> pure,</c>

00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.440

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.619
Now,<00:29:34.559><c> what</c><00:29:34.759><c> possibly</c><00:29:35.240><c> could</c><00:29:35.460><c> that</c><00:29:35.740><c> mean?</c>

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:40.420
Under<00:29:37.039><c> the</c><00:29:37.359><c> pure,</c><00:29:38.779><c> all</c><00:29:38.980><c> things</c><00:29:39.200><c> are</c><00:29:39.480><c> pure.</c>

00:29:41.660 --> 00:29:44.680
Could<00:29:41.900><c> a</c><00:29:42.059><c> person</c><00:29:42.500><c> think</c><00:29:42.859><c> as</c><00:29:43.200><c> far</c><00:29:43.400><c> as</c><00:29:43.599><c> to</c><00:29:43.799><c> say</c><00:29:44.000><c> that</c><00:29:44.259><c> because,</c>

and<00:29:52.259><c> my</c><00:29:52.519><c> mind</c><00:29:52.819><c> can</c><00:29:52.980><c> be</c><00:29:53.119><c> the</c><00:29:53.319><c> filter.</c>

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.539
I<00:29:55.039><c> can</c><00:29:55.339><c> take</c><00:29:55.640><c> from</c><00:29:56.019><c> watching</c><00:29:56.759><c> a</c><00:29:57.319><c> movie</c><00:29:57.640><c> that</c><00:29:57.859><c> is</c><00:29:58.359><c> really</c><00:29:58.859><c> distasteful,</c>

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.380
but<00:29:59.680><c> I</c><00:29:59.779><c> can</c><00:29:59.980><c> take</c><00:30:00.299><c> the</c><00:30:00.519><c> lessons</c><00:30:00.799><c> out</c><00:30:00.980><c> of</c><00:30:01.079><c> it.</c>

Their<00:42:09.719><c> conscience</c><00:42:10.099><c> is</c><00:42:10.300><c> not</c><00:42:10.579><c> going</c><00:42:10.800><c> to</c><00:42:11.440><c> affect</c><00:42:11.880><c> us</c><00:42:12.139><c> the</c><00:42:12.300><c> way</c><00:42:12.440><c> that</c><00:42:12.699><c> person</c><00:42:13.039><c> who</c><00:42:13.360><c> believed</c><00:42:13.519><c> it</c>

00:42:13.739 --> 00:42:14.800
was<00:42:13.920><c> something.</c>

00:42:15.500 --> 00:42:19.219
Surely<00:42:15.900><c> that</c><00:42:16.599><c> first</c><00:42:16.960><c> century</c><00:42:17.400><c> example</c><00:42:17.880><c> is</c><00:42:18.300><c> not</c><00:42:18.619><c> something</c><00:42:18.900><c> that</c><00:42:19.059><c> we</c>

00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:20.340

but<00:42:21.099><c> there</c><00:42:21.340><c> are</c><00:42:21.619><c> examples</c><00:42:22.079><c> which</c><00:42:22.619><c> are</c><00:42:23.260><c> very</c><00:42:23.539><c> similar.</c>

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:28.639
Now,<00:42:25.559><c> we</c><00:42:25.719><c> had</c><00:42:25.920><c> hoped</c><00:42:26.079><c> to</c><00:42:26.219><c> get</c><00:42:26.340><c> into</c><00:42:26.760><c> just</c><00:42:27.099><c> a</c><00:42:27.280><c> little</c><00:42:27.460><c> of</c><00:42:27.639><c> this</c>

next<00:42:29.639><c> chapter</c>

00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:35.460

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:40.659

00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:48.860

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:14.920
What<00:43:12.159><c> would</c><00:43:12.639><c> we</c><00:43:13.039><c> know</c><00:43:13.500><c> from</c><00:43:14.280><c> that</c><00:43:14.619><c> book</c>

00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:22.739
What<00:43:19.360><c> would</c><00:43:19.579><c> we</c><00:43:19.820><c> be</c><00:43:19.980><c> able</c><00:43:20.179><c> to</c><00:43:20.500><c> learn</c><00:43:20.900><c> from</c><00:43:21.400><c> Titus</c>

00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:31.199
It<00:43:28.019><c> is</c><00:43:28.340><c> dramatic</c><00:43:28.940><c> and</c><00:43:29.500><c> very</c><00:43:30.000><c> suited</c><00:43:30.340><c> to</c><00:43:30.579><c> the</c><00:43:30.719><c> days</c><00:43:30.900><c> in</c><00:43:31.079><c> which</c>
