again_o it_o speak_v for_o they_o thus_o father_n let_v they_o be_v make_v a_o willing_a people_n this_o i_o gather_v from_o the_o 110._o psalm_n where_o we_o find_v christ_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a

of_o christ_n who_o sit_v and_o intercede_v there_o for_o it_o again_o it_o speak_v for_o they_o thus_o father_n sanctify_v they_o with_o thy_o grace_n preserve_v they_o with_o thy_o power_n and_o
