speak_v unto_o he_o yet_o he_o have_v indeed_o to_o do_v with_o god_n who_o only_a messenger_n the_o angel_n be_v therefore_o thus_o say_v he_o show_v forth_o a_o ready_a and_o willing_a mind_n even_o before_o he_o know_v to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o lord_n shall_v command_v he_o whereas_o we_o after_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v and_o command_v again_o strain_n courtesy_n and_o take_v

we_o peril_n and_o trouble_n but_o all_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n say_v with_o cornelius_n what_o be_v it_o lord_n and_o by_o thy_o merciful_a assistance_n we_o will_v perform_v and_o do_v it_o there_o follow_v the_o third_o branch_n of_o this_o second_o general_n namely_o general_n the_o angel_n speech_n unto_o cornelius_n say_v thy_o prayer_n and_o thine_o alm_n be_v come_v up_o into_o remembrance_n before_o god_n now_o therefore_o send_v man_n to_o joppa_n and_o call_v for_o simon_n who_o surname_n be_v peter_n he_o lodge_v with_o one_o simon_n a_o tanner_n who_o house_n be_v by_o the_o sea_n side_n he_o shall_v tell_v thou_o what_o thou_o ought_v to_o do_v these_o word_n as_o in_o the_o beginning_n i_o declare_v contain_v both_o a_o comfort_n and_o a_o commandment_n unto_o cornelius_n which_o both_o with_o their_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v handle_v in_o order_n first_o the_o comfort_n because_o it_o be_v first_o mention_v after_o this_o manner_n thy_o prayer_n and_o alm_n be_v come_v up_o into_o remembrance_n before_o god._n of_o these_o word_n we_o may_v not_o gather_v that_o god_o who_o see_v all_o thing_n and_o before_o who_o eye_n be_v manifest_a those_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v in_o great_a secret_n do_v at_o any_o time_n forget_v the_o do_n of_o man_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n as_o in_o many_o other_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o man_n for_o our_o better_a understanding_n and_o for_o because_o if_o god_n defer_v at_o the_o first_o to_o grant_v our_o request_n our_o dull_a nature_n conceive_v no_o better_a of_o he_o than_o of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v deaf_a therefore_o that_o cornelius_n may_v know_v that_o his_o prayer_n be_v hear_v and_o his_o alm_n deed_n accept_v the_o angel_n assure_v he_o that_o god_o have_v in_o remembrance_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v reward_v they_o with_o the_o full_a light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n do_v the_o word_n remember_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n carry_v with_o it_o a_o signification_n of_o reward_n so_o god_n remember_v noah_n and_o the_o flood_n cease_v he_o remember_v abraham_n and_o deliver_v his_o kinsman_n let_v out_o of_o sodom_n he_o remember_v rachel_n and_o give_v her_o child_n he_o remember_v his_o promise_n and_o deliver_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egipte_n so_o we_o read_v that_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n say_v unto_o christ_n lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o commeste_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n and_o he_o answer_v this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n and_o in_o the_o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v he_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o humility_n and_o then_o follow_v he_o redeem_v us._n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o david_n often_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o remember_v he_o in_o this_o place_n therefore_o god_n remembrance_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o
