not_o be_v we_o that_o preach_v or_o speak_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v know_v to_o we_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n we_o be_v to_o

pentecost_n even_o this_o evangelical_n form_n of_o prayer_n like_o the_o legal_a observation_n i_o say_v be_v it_o so_o than_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n shall_v cease_v both_o as_o a_o

holy_a ghost_n to_o teach_v christian_n to_o pray_v and_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o promise_v do_v not_o necessary_o take_v away_o all_o help_n or_o direction_n from_o christ_n or_o from_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o prophet_n so_o that_o they_o shall_v thenceforth_o be_v void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o
