call_v without_o unity_n so_o neither_o can_v we_o advance_v it_o and_o therefore_o when_o our_o lord_n pray_v for_o his_o disciple_n as_o we_o note_v at_o first_o that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v one_o he_o give_v this_o reason_n why_o he_o sue_v for_o their_o unity_n that_o the_o world_n may_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o so_o that_o unity_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v to_o

to_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v it_o among_o ourselves_o and_o to_o promote_v it_o so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v with_o other_o our_o bless_a lord_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v and_o i_o hope_v we_o do_v it_o every_o day_n more_o than_o once_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v that_o his_o heavenly_a religion_n may_v grow_v great_a and_o powerful_a and_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v take_v deep_a root_n in_o all_o place_n and_o yield_v much_o fruit_n that_o it_o may_v thrive_v and_o flourish_v more_o than_o ever_o it_o do_v ascend_v to_o the_o high_a pitch_n and_o spread_v to_o the_o

wide_a latitude_n but_o when_o we_o pray_v thus_o if_o we_o do_v not_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v unity_n like_o egregious_a dissembler_n we_o not_o only_o frustrate_v our_o own_o devotion_n but_o to_o
