we_o we_o shall_v so_o much_o the_o more_o humble_a ourselves_o before_o he_o and_o continue_v in_o prayer_n for_o it_o be_v mark_v that_o then_o she_o worship_v and_o say_v lord_n help_v i_o ver._n 26._o but_o he_o answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o take_v the_o child_n bread_n and_o cast_v it_o to_o dog_n the_o four_o mean_n of_o her_o trial_n be_v by_o seem_v to_o exclude_v she_o

of_o the_o crumb_n which_o fall_v from_o their_o master_n table_n the_o lord_n spirit_n lose_v the_o doubt_n unto_o she_o hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o christ_n commission_n albeit_o it_o be_v chief_o
