that_o we_o may_v acknowledge_v the_o property_n he_o have_v in_o the_o gift_n he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o otherwise_o we_o will_v forget_v in_o what_o tenure_n we_o hold_v those_o blessing_n we_o

way_n to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o order_n for_o to_o come_v often_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n breed_v a_o holy_a awe_n in_o our_o heart_n it_o make_v we_o to_o call_v our_o sin_n to_o

for_o pardon_n these_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o prayer_n now_o let_v we_o see_v the_o reason_n also_o why_o alm_n be_v require_v which_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o those_o for_o prayer_n for_o 1._o
