entire_a payment_n of_o all_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o be_v altogether_o appease_v &_o satisfy_v second_o that_o that_o which_o be_v due_a be_v death_n according_a to_o

before_o we_o can_v be_v but_o reject_v of_o he_o who_o have_v no_o fellowship_n or_o communication_n with_o darkness_n the_o second_o point_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o as_o all_o our_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v in_o his_o name_n that_o be_v to_o say_v desire_v to_o be_v hear_v for_o the_o love_n of_o he_o in_o who_o alone_o the_o father_n be_v well_o please_v so_o do_v he_o appear_v
