be_v minister_a spirit_n but_o we_o neither_o know_v which_o of_o they_o be_v assign_v to_o minister_v unto_o we_o nor_o when_o they_o be_v present_a these_o thing_n depend_v altogether_o on_o the_o

be_v true_a likewise_o that_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n rejoice_v at_o our_o conversion_n when_o that_o conversion_n come_v to_o their_o knowledge_n but_o that_o place_n in_o st._n luke_n 15._o 7._o i_o say_v unto_o you_o joy_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n over_o on●_n sinner_n that_o repent_v more_o than_o over_o ninety_o nine_o just_a person_n do_v no_o more_o prove_v that_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n know_v all_o the_o conversion_n on_o earth_n or_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v to_o they_o than_o my_o say_n that_o there_o be_v more_o joy_n in_o rome_n over_o one_o such_o proselyte_n as_o mr._n m._n than_o over_o ninety_o nine_o bear_v roman_a catholic_n do_v prove_v that_o i_o believe_v such_o conversion_n be_v all_o know_v there_o and_o that_o therefore_o mr._n m._n may_v go_v

to_o they_o by_o the_o next_o angel_n he_o meet_v go_v that_o way_n but_o because_o angel_n pass_v and_o repass_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n to_o conclude_v that_o we_o may_v at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n with_o mind_n and_o voice_n pray_v to_o saint_n be_v as_o foolish_a as_o to_o conclude_v because_o we_o have_v post_n pass_v from_o london_n to_o dublin_n that_o therefore_o a_o
