thus_o rule_n 1._o first_o the_o want_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feeling_n either_o of_o god_n favour_n towards_o we_o or_o of_o the_o present_a apprehension_n to_o our_o own_o sense_n of_o god_n

before_o god_n can_v see_v the_o power_n of_o grace_n that_o help_v he_o so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v certain_a this_o can_v hinder_v he_o from_o the_o right_n of_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o
