thereunto_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o christ_n mean_v in_o make_v mention_n of_o prayer_n and_o fastinge_a and_o not_o that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v have_v fast_v and_o pra●ed_v to_o any_o end_n whatsoever_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a sense_n of_o this_o scripture_n i_o further_o affirm_v that_o howsoever_o the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o christ_n in_o these_o word_n be_v to_o
