first_o we_o have_v a_o manifest_a commandment_n that_o in_o all_o necessity_n god_n only_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o and_o call_v upon_o and_o that_o he_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o

good_a thing_n and_o be_v displease_v so_o often_o as_o we_o seek_v unto_o other_o and_o not_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o great_o delight_v he_o and_o thereby_o worship_v he_o second_o by_o the_o example_n of_o all_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o psalm_n also_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o god_n alone_o in_o all_o case_n be_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o and_o to_o be_v

the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n neither_o say_v we_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o no_o intercessor_n with_o god_n but_o like_a as_o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o so_o ought_v we_o to_o use_v none_o other_o intercession_n nor_o any_o other_o advocate_n or_o intercessor_n before_o god_n than_o christ_n jesus_n only_o because_o the_o father_n have_v appoint_v he_o alone_o to_o this_o function_n &_o therefore_o in_o he_o he_o hear_v and_o receive_v our_o prayer_n as_o i_o have_v heretofore_o sufficient_o prove_v wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v do_v obedient_a christ._n
