that_o we_o pray_v for_o or_o else_o it_o boot_v we_o not_o to_o pray_v but_o according_a to_o the_o protestant_n doctrine_n no_o man_n can_v be_v assure_v nay_o can_v have_v any_o hope_n to_o obtain_v the_o three_o first_o petition_n for_o if_o original_a sin_n do_v continual_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o infect_v all_o our_o action_n with_o deadly_a sin_n as_o they_o teach_v god_n name_n can_v be_v sanctify_v in_o we_o that_o be_v infect_v with_o such_o a_o unclean_a leprosy_n neither_o second_o can_v god_n reign_v as_o a_o king_n in_o we_o if_o sin_n possess_v &_o command_v all_o
