god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n bestow_v his_o blessing_n and_o show_v his_o mercy_n upon_o we_o without_o our_o prayer_n second_o because_o our_o prayer_n show_v our_o confidence_n in_o god_n

but_o now_o as_o our_o prayer_n in_o affliction_n must_v be_v fervent_a so_o must_v they_o be_v frequent_a too_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n pray_v often_o ter_z thrice_o that_o this_o thing_n
