and_o to_o direct_v prayer_n rather_o to_o the_o more_o honourable_a it_o be_v great_a modesty_n to_o make_v a_o address_n to_o the_o inferior_a rather_o than_o to_o the_o superior_a or_o if_o you_o

they_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o injurious_a to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n for_o modesty_n be_v a_o virtue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n not_o of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o be_v i_o say_v a_o
