that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o other_o also_o oh_o what_o a_o trade_n do_v paul_n drive_v this_o way_n i_o have_v sometime_o think_v what_o a_o catalogue_n of_o church_n and_o saint_n he_o have_v to_o commend_v to_o god_n in_o his_o daily_a prayer_n how_o many_o church_n do_v he_o usual_o pray_v for_o say_v he_o to_o the_o church_n at_o rome_n 9_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n that_o without_o

in_o the_o very_a language_n of_o a_o beggar_n for_o a_o alms._n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o
