he_o hear_v neither_o will_v he_o have_v be_v hear_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v free_a &_o exempt_v from_o the_o death_n for_o he_o pray_v that_o the_o chalice_n of_o his_o passion_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o thereby_o to_o show_v a_o natural_a desire_n of_o not_o die_v and_o himself_o to_o be_v true_a man_n who_o nature_n do_v abhor_v death_n but_o he_o add_v not_o that_o which_o i_o will_v but_o that_o which_o thou_o let_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o prayer_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n can_v be_v that_o prayer_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o

that_o he_o may_v be_v save_v from_o death_n both_o which_o two_o point_n be_v evident_o express_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n for_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o pray_v for_o his_o
