and_o then_o i_o conceive_v that_o i_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n as_o the_o saint_n have_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o have_v confidence_n that_o whatsoever_o i_o ask_v of_o god_n i_o shall_v receive_v of_o he_o answ_n first_o that_o the_o saint_n while_o they_o have_v be_v under_o the_o bondage_n of_o babylon_n have_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n and_o have_v have_v their_o petition_n hear_v be_v evident_a for_o their_o prayer_n have_v bring_v judgement_n upon_o their_o enemy_n be_v present_v upon_o the_o golden_a altar_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v no_o
