and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o circumstance_n contain_v a_o rehearsal_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o apostle_n wish_v to_o the_o ephesian_n to_o wit_n that_o in_o the_o partake_n and_o

the_o plain_o be_v consider_v and_o the_o more_o easy_o
apply_v to_o our_o use_n the_o first_o part_n therefore_o of_o saint_n paul_n prayer_n be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n that_o he_o may_v grant_v you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o
