a_o supply_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o ship_n of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o want_v minister_n to_o pray_v with_o they_o agreeable_a to_o the_o directory_n establish_v by_o parliament_n publish_a by_o

of_o ship_n belong_v to_o this_o kingdom_n which_o have_v not_o minister_n with_o they_o to_o guide_v they_o in_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o either_o use_v the_o old_a form_n of_o common-prayer_n or_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o the_o former_a whereof_o for_o many_o weighty_a reason_n have_v be_v abolish_v and_o the_o latter_a be_v likely_a to_o make_v they_o rather_o heathen_n than_o christian_n the_o lord_n day_n be_v leave_v without_o any_o mark_n of_o piety_n or_o devotion_n therefore_o to_o avoid_v these_o inconvenience_n it_o have_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o frame_v some_o prayer_n agree_v
