he_o either_o to_o withdraw_v the_o temptation_n or_o else_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n strengthen_v we_o against_o it_o next_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v against_o the_o evil_n of_o

heathen_a private_a prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n to_o be_v use_v in_o secret_a where_o we_o can_v more_o particularize_v our_o sin_n when_o alone_o then_o be_v requisite_a to_o be_v do_v in_o public_a
