his_o disciple_n but_o also_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o attainment_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o may_v we_o well_o say_v that_o as_o the_o use_n thereof_o be_v worthy_a praise_n so_o be_v the_o want_n thereof_o to_o be_v lament_v for_o where_o as_o prayer_n be_v not_o frequent_v there_o god_n be_v not_o call_v upon_o for_o his_o grace_n and_o assistance_n neither_o be_v he_o

in_o manner_n show_v in_o live_v to_o fear_v god_n who_o be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v he_o or_o who_o refrayn_v to_o blaspheme_v his_o holy_a name_n who_o seek_v to_o subdue_v the_o flesh_n to_o the_o

the_o want_n of_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a call_n on_o god_n in_o devout_a prayer_n for_o by_o it_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o the_o hate_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o it_o be_v drive_v from_o we_o all_o
