and_o power_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o in_o do_v all_o this_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v to_o honour_v he_o and_o perform_v a_o service_n high_o acceptable_a to_o he_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o we_o evident_o declare_v that_o we_o own_o his_o dominion_n over_o we_o and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o govern_v we_o and_o that_o all_o our_o service_n be_v his_o due_n though_o we_o too_o often_o unworthy_o alienate_v they_o to_o profane_v and_o wicked_a purpose_n we_o also_o acknowledge_v his_o wisdom_n to_o be_v infinite_a that_o as_o he_o thorough_o understand_v all_o
