in_o we_o a_o spirit_n of_o devotion_n be_v constant_o to_o attend_v the_o public_a assembly_n and_o to_o bear_v our_o part_n in_o they_o at_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o this_o reason_n god_n love_v the_o gate_n of_o zion_n more_o than_o all_o the_o dwelling_n or_o private_a house_n of_o jacob_n because_o at_o the_o sanctuary_n the_o prayer_n of_o his_o saint_n be_v most_o fervent_a thither_o we_o go_v to_o sing_v aloud_o unto_o god_n our_o strength_n to_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n unto_o the_o god_n of_o jacob._n there_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o offer_v up_o all_o our_o

to_o pray_v and_o sing_v praise_n together_o how_o joyful_a be_v all_o pious_a heart_n in_o those_o peaceable_a time_n follow_v when_o they_o see_v christian_a church_n erect_v and_o the_o door_n of_o

to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sense_n and_o as_o tertullian_n speak_v to_o beleaguer_v heaven_n with_o a_o great_a army_n and_o with_o alacrity_n and_o zeal_n do_v they_o send_v up_o
