jerusalem_n as_o it_o follow_v ver_fw-la 16._o the_o lord_n christ_n stand_v as_o with_o a_o golden_a censer_n have_v much_o incense_n which_o he_o offer_v with_o the_o prayer_n of_o saint_n on_o the_o golden_a altar_n before_o the_o throne_n the_o smoke_n of_o which_o incense_n with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n ascend_v before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o angel_n hand_n when_o his_o people_n pray_v on_o earth_n he_o as_o their_o solicitor_n procure_v a_o grant_n in_o heaven_n which_o he_o sometime_o send_v down_o by_o a_o swift_a messenger_n so_o he_o do_v to_o daniel_n and_o

also_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o 3._o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o that_o christ_n shall_v ascend_v that_o he_o may_v send_v the_o spirit_n the_o comforter_n joh._n 16.7_o if_o i_o go_v away_o the_o comforter_n will_v not_o come_v unto_o you_o but_o if_o i_o depart_v i_o will_v send_v he_o to_o you_o the_o send_n of_o the_o spiriâ_n to_o lead_v believer_n into_o truth_n to_o
