two_o can_v agree_v in_o no_o case_n to_o have_v somewhat_o of_o free_a gift_n and_o to_o obtain_v the_o same_o by_o desert_n of_o work_n this_o be_v avouch_v by_o s._n paul_n 6_o say_v si_fw-la

apply_v to_o our_o use_n the_o first_o part_n therefore_o of_o saint_n paul_n prayer_n be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n that_o he_o may_v grant_v you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o

that_o he_o shall_v be_v void_a of_o love_n which_o possess_v christ_n true_o by_o faith_n the_o four_o circumstance_n be_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o
