which_o gift_n be_v even_o in_o the_o best_a more_o defective_a at_o one_o time_n then_o at_o a_o other_o 4_o in_o this_o age_n so_o far_o inferior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n without_o set_a

before_o the_o king_n in_o a_o word_n whether_o prayer_n in_o pour_v of_o it_o out_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o intention_n as_o when_o it_o be_v first_o indict_v or_o out_o of_o the_o memory_n as_o

no_o soon_o be_v the_o church_n settle_v and_o the_o first_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cease_v but_o then_o at_o the_o late_a set_v and_o write_v form_n of_o prayer_n come_v in_o and_o though_o
