Stran 24 - Jhall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned fay Amen at thy giving of thanks, feeing he underjlandeth not what thoufayeft ? For thou verily givejl thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Stran 144 - ... because they were NOT REPRESENTED BY THEM ; and so the chief matter they had to do with them was, to give them their advice and counsel, in any difficult point proposed."
