jesus_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o grant_v the_o same_o to_o i_o and_o all_o faithful_a people_n whatsoever_o life_n and_o death_n of_o the_o holy_a jesus_n sect._n 16._o §_o 1._o 2._o of_o prayer_n

for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o have_v a_o need_n of_o mercy_n and_o it_o be_v uncertain_a how_o great_a their_o need_n be_v it_o may_v concern_v the_o prudence_n of_o charity_n to_o be_v
