unto_o cornelius_n which_o both_o with_o their_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v handle_v in_o order_n first_o the_o comfort_n because_o it_o be_v first_o mention_v after_o this_o manner_n thy_o prayer_n

those_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v in_o great_a secret_n do_v at_o any_o time_n forget_v the_o do_n of_o man_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n as_o in_o many_o other_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o man_n for_o our_o better_a understanding_n and_o for_o because_o if_o god_n defer_v at_o the_o first_o to_o grant_v our_o request_n our_o dull_a nature_n conceive_v no_o better_a of_o he_o than_o of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v deaf_a therefore_o that_o cornelius_n may_v know_v that_o his_o prayer_n be_v hear_v and_o his_o alm_n deed_n accept_v the_o angel_n assure_v he_o that_o god_o

many_o other_o place_n do_v the_o word_n remember_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n carry_v with_o it_o a_o signification_n of_o reward_n so_o god_n remember_v noah_n and_o
