Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what to pray as we ought but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighes which cannot be expressed 27 But he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit for he maketh request for the Saints according to the will of God 28 Also we know that all things worke together for the best vnto them that loue God euen to them that are called of his purpose 29 For those whome he knew before he also predestinate to be made like to the image of his Sonne that he might be the first borne among many brethren c.
