all_o you_o preacher_n in_o general_n that_o when_o you_o preach_v or_o pray_v it_o be_v not_o you_o but_o christ_n in_o you_o that_o pray_v i_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v your_o belief_n by_o these_o

for_o the_o scripture_n church_n history_n and_o book_n of_o martyr_n show_v that_o then_o religion_n lead_v they_o to_o pray_v public_o for_o pardon_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o some_o even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n and_o also_o both_o apostle_n and_o other_o christian_n frequent_o pray_v to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o to_o god_n the_o father_n indeed_o your_o presumption_n in_o
