be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o unlearned_a to_o join_v with_o the_o minister_n in_o prayer_n for_o he_o must_v say_v amen_o which_o he_o can_v do_v if_o he_o join_v not_o with_o he_o that_o be_v if_o his_o understanding_n do_v not_o accompany_v his_o prayer_n second_o that_o such_o be_v unable_a to_o perform_v this_o duty_n unless_o they_o understand_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o prayer_n for_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n assign_v by_o the_o apostle_n why_o they_o can_v say_v amen_o three_o that_o to_o say_v amen_o be_v not_o bare_o to_o pronounce_v the_o word_n for_o that_o assure_o may_v
