teach_v we_o that_o importunity_n be_v a_o way_n to_o overcome_v he_o earnest_a prayer_n use_v violence_n towards_o he_o and_o thereby_o we_o that_o be_v weakness_n be_v too_o hard_o for_o he_o who_o

we_o look_v near_o unto_o it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o prayer_n persuade_v god_n to_o overcome_v himself_o it_o move_v his_o own_o goodness_n to_o overcome_v his_o own_o power_n so_o that_o we_o feel_v only_o the_o effect_n of_o power_n master_v and_o conquer_v with_o goodness_n therefore_o be_v god_n by_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v trouble_v and_o stop_v in_o some_o action_n outward_o propose_v

in_o men._n the_o same_o god_n who_o be_v goodness_n be_v also_o love_n &_o love_v his_o child_n far_o more_o tender_o then_o earthly_a father_n and_o love_v work_n upon_o the_o will_n to_o make_v
