thereof_o but_o that_o they_o do_v so_o still_o as_o gregory_z also_o say_v i_o think_v be_v a_o mistake_n i_o never_o observe_v it_o in_o any_o of_o their_o synagogue_n though_o i_o have_v see_v several_a and_o their_o worship_n yet_o i_o never_o see_v any_o people_n so_o regardless_o therein_o as_o the_o present_a generation_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o why_o may_v we_o not_o pray_v in_o the_o

sun_n ezek._n 8.16_o as_o the_o persian_n and_o many_o other_o nation_n true_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v the_o cardinal_n because_o this_o posture_n signify_v so_o much_o more_o excellent_a thing_n
