for_o he_o have_v sanctify_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o what_o so_o ever_o we_o ask_v in_o his_o name_n we_o shall_v obtain_v for_o thus_o neither_o our_o prayer_n be_v of_o we_o but_o they_o be_v

the_o heart_n of_o many_o that_o be_v not_o evil_a when_o they_o will_v pull_v this_o profession_n out_o of_o our_o mouth_n they_o speak_v not_o in_o plain_a word_n to_o bid_v we_o deny_v that_o

shall_v say_v a_o king_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n one_o over_o the_o body_n another_o over_o good_n my_o body_n i_o grant_v to_o any_o lawful_a service_n as_o due_a to_o our_o king_n but_o our_o king_n

and_o they_o blind_v your_o eye_n and_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o mediator_n sure_o even_o with_o as_o good_a reason_n they_o may_v say_v because_o a_o man_n have_v body_n &_o soul_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n one_o of_o a_o body_n another_o of_o a_o soul_n but_o to_o let_v such_o deceiver_n go_v let_v we_o confess_v a_o better_a faith_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o
