wherefore_o the_o godly_a be_v afflict_v but_o that_o by_o prayer_n they_o shall_v exonerate_v and_o ease_v themselves_o and_o so_o exercise_v their_o faith_n and_o albeit_o i_o know_v there_o be_v

because_o no_o man_n of_o himself_o can_v conceive_v holy_a and_o godly_a prayer_n indeed_o the_o faithless_a babble_n prayer_n but_o with_o mere_a mock_v of_o god_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o

as_o absurd_a but_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o also_o gracious_o receive_v they_o as_o know_v to_o he_o &_o approve_v of_o he_o therefore_o as_o paul_n testify_v of_o late_a that_o god_n do_v then_o help_v we_o while_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v bring_v we_o into_o his_o own_o bosom_n so_o now_o he_o add_v another_o consolation_n namely_o that_o our_o prayer_n whereof_o he_o be_v the_o moderator_n

of_o baptism_n they_o care_v not_o nor_o consider_v not_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a in_o it_o and_o this_o very_o you_o be_v to_o note_v in_o paul_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o sign_n or_o
