the_o afternoon_n you_o may_v design_n for_o the_o apology_n and_o your_o other_o humane_a study_n and_o i_o think_v it_o very_o commendable_a if_o you_o will_v employ_v the_o praxis_fw-la of_o your_o grammatical_a study_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o that_o you_o will_v with_o they_o together_o with_o your_o devotion_n begin_v and_o conclude_v your_o

or_o examination_n of_o your_o behaviour_n for_o the_o whole_a day_n and_o the_o same_o advantage_n you_o may_v get_v by_o read_v the_o lesson_n at_o public_a prayer_n in_o your_o greek_a or_o
