and_o after_o this_o manner_n i_o intend_v to_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o prayer_n to_o saint_n may_v be_v lawful_o use_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n the_o first_o argument_n therefore_o may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o those_o scripture_n which_o recommend_v unto_o we_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o in_o they_o we_o learn_v that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v send_v
