can_v pray_v for_o nothing_o else_o in_o their_o behalf_n yet_o may_v we_o most_o charitable_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o faith_n and_o repentance_n though_o they_o come_v in_o even_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o eleven_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n there_o be_v indeed_o in_o the_o miraculous_a day_n a_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o discern_v of_o spirit_n and_o i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o
