00:50:00.219 --> 00:50:04.400
But<00:50:00.360><c> he</c><00:50:00.500><c> was</c><00:50:00.780><c> raised</c><00:50:01.119><c> again</c><00:50:01.519><c> for</c><00:50:02.500><c> our</c><00:50:03.019><c> justification.</c>

00:50:06.059 --> 00:50:06.980
Therefore.

00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:09.000
It's<00:50:07.139><c> a</c><00:50:07.199><c> pity</c><00:50:07.300><c> there's</c><00:50:07.579><c> a</c><00:50:07.719><c> break</c><00:50:07.880><c> in</c><00:50:08.139><c> the</c><00:50:08.300><c> chapter</c><00:50:08.579><c> there.</c>
