as_o we_o may_v have_v hope_n and_o comfort_n of_o be_v hear_v for_o this_o be_v that_o which_o paul_n add_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n 8.27_o rom._n 8.27_o that_o he_o that_o search_v the_o heart_n

prayer_n yea_o when_o we_o have_v rather_o moan_v then_o speak_v rather_o sigh_v then_o utter_v a_o word_n for_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o case_n regard_v not_o so_o much_o the_o multitude_n of_o

complaint_n in_o their_o prayer_n as_o he_o do_v not_o unto_o job_n nor_o to_o david_n who_o be_v full_a of_o they_o as_o we_o have_v see_v before_o because_o he_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o

be_v it_o true_a indeed_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o have_v respect_n unto_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n who_o when_o

the_o like_a mercy_n hear_v not_o only_o the_o well_o order_a prayer_n of_o his_o church_n but_o even_o the_o very_a cry_n &_o roar_n of_o his_o servant_n though_o they_o be_v like_o the_o pelican_n and_o the_o owl_n yea_o their_o mourning_n though_o they_o be_v like_a to_o the_o dove_n yea_o when_o they_o say_v nothing_o neither_o indeed_o can_v their_o very_a sob_n and_o sigh_n which_o come_v from_o the_o abundance_n of_o a_o trouble_a spirit_n and_o can_v not_o be_v express_v for_o he_o allow_v of_o the_o meaning_n of_o his_o spirit_n which_o work_v these_o thing_n in_o they_o and_o if_o
