for_o the_o same_o strength_n because_o he_o well_o know_v there_o be_v no_o other_o strength_n sufficient_a to_o this_o glorious_a work_n the_o same_o apostle_n in_o heb._n 12.2_o set_v a_o high_a

with_o christ_n through_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o enjoy_v this_o life_n through_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o john_n 6.63_o christ_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v

the_o sum_n of_o the_o apostle_n prayer_n be_v in_o short_a this_o that_o they_o may_v live_v upon_o christ_n as_o their_o life_n to_o know_v his_o love_n in_o all_o the_o demonstration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v above_o humane_a knowledge_n but_o he_o begin_v thus_o in_o verse_n 16._o that_o they_o may_v be_v strengthen_v with_o all_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n he_o lay_v down_o this_o as_o the_o foundation_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v who_o ever_o live_v on_o christ_n by_o faith_n know_v and_o enjoy_v his_o love_n in_o the_o breadth_n length_n

of_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o be_v the_o comforter_n promise_v we_o may_v see_v this_o in_o ephes_n 4.30_o and_o grieve_v not_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o you_o be_v seal_v unto_o
