to_o their_o prayer_n and_o to_o bless_v they_o actual_o and_o real_o now_o this_o part_n of_o the_o priest_n office_n be_v not_o ceremonial_a but_o moral_a and_o of_o perpetual_a use_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v put_v in_o practice_n both_o before_o the_o law_n and_o since_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o like_a have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o chief_a minister_n of_o

which_o they_o teach_v and_o from_o they_o we_o have_v receive_v that_o form_n of_o evangelicall_a benediction_n blessing_n use_v in_o all_o church_n by_o the_o public_a minister_n 14._o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v with_o you_o all_o amen_n which_o differ_v from_o the_o former_a in_o word_n more_o than_o in_o substance_n for_o it_o comprehend_v as_o much_o as_o that_o but_o be_v so_o much_o the_o sweet_a because_o in_o this_o the_o sweet_a and_o bless_a name_n of_o jesus_n

you_o again_o you_o shall_v be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o but_o it_o shall_v take_v no_o effect_n for_o their_o good_a whereby_o we_o see_v that_o as_o it_o pertain_v to_o the_o priest_n under_o
