in_o like_a manner_n it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v object_v against_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n that_o he_o may_v have_v pray_v more_o private_o and_o not_o with_o window_n open_a and_o three_o time_n a_o day_n as_o before_o after_o that_o king_n darius_n have_v seal_v a_o decree_n that_o none_o shall_v ask_v a_o petition_n of_o any_o god_n or_o man_n for_o thirty_o day_n save_v of_o the_o king_n

our_o meeting_n be_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o according_a to_o that_o liberty_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o we_o must_v not_o lose_v our_o testimony_n which_o be_v for_o
