of_o it_o be_v so_o great_a that_o be_v can_v let_v it_o go_v as_o psa_n 51._o a_o prayer_n make_v by_o david_n when_o overwhelm_v in_o his_o spirit_n by_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n how_o often_o do_v

the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v but_o utter_v the_o same_o dear_a relation_n over_o and_o over_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o the_o hebrew_n when_o they_o will_v express_v their_o earnest_a affection_n and_o

of_o it_o thus_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v so_o when_o it_o be_v say_v amen_o and_o amen_o that_o repetition_n be_v to_o show_v their_o affection_n that_o they_o will_v have_v it_o so_o or_o that_o

they_o diligent_o perform_v it_o be_v useful_a in_o prayer_n to_o mention_v these_o more_o than_o once_o for_o how_o dull_a and_o distract_v be_v our_o thought_n how_o hard_a and_o senseless_a be_v
