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

without_o condition_n as_o we_o pray_v for_o they_o more_o fervent_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v thankful_a for_o they_o with_o more_o enlarge_v heart_n so_o in_o take_v away_o temporal_a thing_n we_o
