in_o the_o word_n father_n a._n that_o in_o prayer_n we_o come_v to_o the_o father_n the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n by_o his_o son_n through_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n although_o

second_o it_o serve_v both_o for_o a_o spur_n to_o do_v well_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o save_v and_o a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v from_o evil_a see_v he_o have_v power_n to_o destroy_v
