man_n in_o mind_n of_o what_o he_o have_v hear_v or_o read_v of_o christ_n die_v upon_o the_o cross_n but_o if_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n suffering_n the_o bare_a see_v

unless_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o will_v suggest_v no_o thought_n to_o we_o at_o such_o a_o time_n but_o what_o be_v in_o our_o prayer_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n indeed_o teach_v her_o child_n such_o prayer_n as_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o therefore_o can_v employ_v their_o thought_n may_v make_v picture_n very_o necessary_a to_o entertain_v they_o but_o if_o our_o thought_n and_o our_o

certain_a the_o daily_a and_o familiar_a use_n of_o such_o picture_n can_v do_v yet_o what_o be_v this_o to_o prayer_n such_o sensible_a passion_n as_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o picture_n can_v raise_v in_o we_o be_v of_o little_a or_o no_o account_n in_o religion_n true_a devout_a affection_n must_v spring_v from_o a_o inward_a vital_a sense_n which_o the_o picture_n can_v give_v to_o those_o who_o
