yea_o i_o hate_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v i_o regard_v any_o word_n of_o god_n but_o other_o kind_n of_o pray_v which_o we_o use_v i_o do_v love_n to_o pray_v to_o the_o devil_n this_o i_o love_v but_o afterward_o i_o begin_v to_o think_v it_o may_v be_v they_o say_v true_a that_o speak_v of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o shall_v any_o teach_v i_o in_o my_o language_n i_o may_v know_v god_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v pray_v it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o pray_v in_o my_o language_n can_v i_o speak_v english_a i_o may_v learn_v to_o pray_v and_o i_o see_v the_o english_a love_n we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v like_o that_o be_v true_a which_o they_o say_v of_o god_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o where_o they_o do_v when_o i_o first_o hear_v the_o word_n it_o say_v god_n be_v good_a a_o little_a i_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o do_v more_o doubt_n mr_n jackson_n ask_v i_o if_o i_o do_v pray_v to_o

may_v be_v i_o may_v attain_v to_o pray_v but_o my_o heart_n be_v hard_a and_o therefore_o i_o can_v not_o pray_v afterwards_o it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v sometime_o i_o think_v if_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v the_o english_a may_v kill_v we_o but_o if_o i_o pray_v i_o think_v i_o do_v not_o pray_v right_a when_o i_o see_v and_o consider_v that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n die_v i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o may_v come_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o how_o my_o soul_n may_v live_v and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v i_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n aright_o because_o they_o that_o so_o pray_v be_v all_o one_o

and_o i_o regard_v not_o my_o weariness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a many_o thing_n hinder_v my_o heart_n i_o be_v ashamed_a because_o my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o evil_a sometime_o i_o think_v

my_o heart_n do_v not_o submit_v to_o god_n only_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v may_v learn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o you_o teach_v we_o my_o heart_n do_v afore_o love_n pray_v to_o the_o devil_n

to_o god_n now_o i_o know_v that_o god_n know_v all_o the_o thought_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o my_o many_o sin_n and_o contrary_a do_n and_o how_o little_a i_o know_v of_o god_n sure_o i_o be_o a_o
