divers_a thing_n which_o be_v frequent_o pray_v for_o in_o public_a but_o without_o signify_v in_o the_o least_o wise_a that_o the_o prayer_n be_v write_v or_o ancient_a which_o he_o in_o eusebius_n

considerable_a and_o of_o far_o more_o weight_n than_o the_o testimony_n of_o single_a writer_n and_o therefore_o undoubted_o will_v have_v be_v insist_v on_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o urge_v by_o any_o who_o know_v how_o to_o manage_v a_o argument_n or_o to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o very_a obvious_a advantage_n so_o that_o we_o may_v conclude_v either_o the_o great_a

and_o either_o can_v not_o manage_v they_o as_o those_o of_o ordinary_a capacity_n among_o we_o can_v do_v or_o will_v not_o improve_v they_o as_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o truth_n they_o contend_v
