though_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v not_o disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a book_n and_o in_o every_o sermon_n though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o most_o the_o whole_a book_n not_o unfit_o have_v his_o

good_a thing_n but_o for_o want_v of_o this_o because_o by_o the_o coldness_n of_o our_o desire_n it_o appear_v that_o we_o do_v not_o esteem_v of_o they_o or_o but_o small_o regard_v they_o therefore_o we_o have_v they_o not_o and_o this_o be_v that_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o to_o the_o roman_n i_o beseech_v you_o 15.30_o rom._n 15.30_o that_o you_o will_v strive_v with_o i_o

he_o pray_v the_o more_o earnest_o he_o pray_v always_o in_o the_o spirit_n but_o in_o this_o distress_n of_o body_n and_o mind_n he_o enlarge_v his_o affection_n as_o appear_v also_o by_o his_o
