thing_n for_o we_o the_o almighty_a and_o all-sufficient_a god_n grant_v that_o this_o passion_n of_o christ_n may_v become_v fruitful_a to_o we_o and_o profitable_a for_o we_o let_v he_o vouchsafe_v to_o fasten_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o by_o this_o passion_n we_o may_v rouse_v and_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o all_o that_o be_v good_a and_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o
