state_n of_o they_o which_o be_v still_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o repentance_n which_o because_o it_o be_v the_o perpetual_a exercise_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n life_n let_v we_o look_v a_o

thou_o and_o when_o thou_o praie_v be_v not_o faint_a heart_a in_o thy_o prayer_n but_o continue_v in_o prayer_n and_o watch_v thereunto_o with_o all_o diligence_n and_o be_v thou_o assure_v as_o
