 3  Unic,   3|  better than ourselves. I will tell you, for I am not sure if
 4  Unic,   4|     object in doing this is to tell her how fond she is of her,

24  Unic,  21|    rule you must keep. If they tell you that you should practise
25  Unic,  22|      vocal prayer. When people tell you that you are speaking

28  Unic,  23|     and so I have been able to tell you about it: I am sure
29  Unic,  23|    believe any of the things I tell you. I can call as witnesses
30  Unic,  25|       prayer perfectly, I must tell you that, while you are

32  Unic,  26|       talk to Him, and He will tell you what to say. If words
