forasmuch_o as_o he_o make_v the_o outward_a work_n available_a by_o the_o inward_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n again_o he_o join_v invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o the_o outward_a

be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n a_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n then_o we_o must_v learn_v and_o remember_v that_o we_o can_v never_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n with_o fruit_n and_o comfort_n without_o the_o special_a assistance_n and_o inward_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n join_v the_o spirit_n and_o word_n
