of_o a_o godly_a servant_n he_o will_v put_v his_o master_n in_o mind_n of_o matter_n that_o be_v weighty_a and_o important_a not_o only_o such_o as_o concern_v the_o world_n but_o such_o as_o

if_o we_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o petition_n for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o evidence_n and_o manifestation_n of_o grace_n so_o it_o be_v good_a for_o grace_n can_v be_v manifest_v till_o it_o
