as_o they_o then_o say_v unto_o we_o have_v not_o you_o receive_v some_o good_a among_o we_o in_o those_o ordinance_n so_o say_v you_o he_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o he_o enjoy_v not_o comfort_n from_o those_o prayer_n that_o come_v through_o a_o uncovered_a head_n and_o although_o that_o you_o can_v with_o all_o your_o wrest_n and_o twine_v in_o your_o serpentine_a wisdom_n show_v no_o ill_a fruit_n bring_v forth_o but_o still_o cry_v a_o dark_a spirit_n a_o spirit_n of_o envy_n and_o malice_n and_o the_o like_a and_o when_o we_o require_v you_o to_o prove_v your_o assertion_n and_o allegation_n by_o lay_v open_o what_o fruit_n of_o that_o evil_a spirit_n be_v bring_v forth_o you_o say_v we_o keep_v on_o our_o hat_n when_o you_o pray_v &_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o disturb_v the_o

true_a and_o no_o baseness_n in_o this_o i_o will_v stand_v to_o this_o testimony_n when_o ever_o you_o please_v to_o call_v upon_o i_o and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o command_v the_o corinthian_n to_o put_v off_o their_o hat_n and_o observe_v time_n for_o public_a prayer_n as_o you_o will_v wrest_v his_o word_n which_o be_v every_o man_n pray_v or_o prophesy_v with_o his_o head_n cover_v

their_o miscarriage_n bring_v a_o scandal_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o the_o light_n we_o do_v deny_v both_o and_o have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o the_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n neither_o
