be_v to_o abide_v with_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o viz._n the_o benign_a influence_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o our_o saviour_n make_v this_o gracious_a promise_n at_o the_o first_o to_o his_o disciple_n to_o give_v they_o the_o comforter_n he_o be_v to_o abide_v with_o they_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n john_n 14.16_o and_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o

shall_v be_v transient_a only_o for_o a_o short_a time_n when_o as_o the_o promise_n itself_o be_v to_o continue_v for_o ever_o it_o can_v but_o seem_v very_o strange_a that_o a_o solemn_a rite_n annex_v to_o a_o perpetual_a promise_n shall_v be_v transient_a and_o temporary_a the_o promise_n be_v of_o a_o blessing_n to_o endure_v for_o ever_o the_o ceremony_n or_o rite_n be_v annex_v to_o
