that_o they_o do_v not_o spare_v they_o and_o why_o it_o be_v for_o their_o health_n etc._n etc._n so_o must_v we_o think_v and_o conceive_v that_o when_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v or_o grant_v our_o

in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o brethren_n for_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v a_o part_n in_o our_o prayer_n so_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n have_v do_v before_o we_o david_n say_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n 6._o peace_n be_v within_o thy_o wall_n

whereupon_o a_o angel_n come_v fly_v unto_o he_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n thus_o by_o the_o 16._o rule_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o

i_o suppose_v doubt_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n christ_n first_o resolve_v and_o settle_v we_o in_o that_o point_n and_o show_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o because_o he_o be_v our_o
