than_o it_o can_v be_v lay_v upon_o it_o we_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v for_o no_o more_o than_o they_o who_o salvation_n we_o be_v unfeigned_o to_o desire_v otherwise_o our_o prayer_n be_v hypocritical_a be_v we_o then_o to_o desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o some_o man_n only_o as_o they_o be_v disperse_v here_o and_o there_o throughout_o all_o nation_n sort_n or_o condition_n of_o man_n or_o for_o every_o man_n of_o what_o condition_n soever_o of_o what_o sort_n or_o nation_n soever_o he_o be_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o king_n not_o except_v the_o most_o

desire_n that_o they_o may_v come_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n then_o questionless_a we_o be_v to_o desire_v we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o and_o every_o

the_o reason_n why_o our_o prayer_n for_o all_o man_n must_v be_v universal_a be_v because_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o desire_v the_o spiritual_a good_a of_o all_o man_n not_o as_o they_o fall_v under_o

because_o we_o must_v be_v perfect_a as_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a unto_o this_o universal_a desire_n we_o must_v add_v our_o best_a endeavour_n that_o save_a truth_n may_v be_v

pray_v thus_o universal_o because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v not_o only_o that_o we_o shall_v thus_o pray_v but_o that_o all_o without_o exception_n shall_v come_v unto_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v save_v
