the_o six_o evil_n that_o there_o be_v in_o a_o murmur_a spirit_n be_v this_o by_o murmur_v you_o undo_v your_o prayer_n for_o it_o be_v exceed_o contrary_a to_o the_o prayer_n that_o you_o make_v unto_o god_n when_o you_o come_v to_o prayer_n to_o god_n you_o acknowledge_v his_o sovereignity_n over_o you_o you_o come_v there_o to_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v at_o god_n dispose_n what_o do_v you_o pray_v for_o except_v you_o acknowledge_v that_o you_o be_v at_o his_o dispose_n except_o you_o will_v stand_v as_o it_o be_v at_o his_o dispose_n never_o come_v to_o petition_n to_o he_o if_o you_o will_v come_v to_o petition_v he_o and_o yet_o will_v be_v your_o own_o carver_n you_o go_v cross_v to_o your_o prayer_n to_o come_v as_o if_o you_o will_v beg_v your_o bread_n at_o your_o father_n gate_n every_o day_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v do_v what_o you_o list_v this_o be_v the_o undo_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o christian_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v of_o lattimer_n that_o speak_v concern_v peter_n that_o deny_v his_o master_n say_v he_o peter_n forget_v his_o paternoster_n for_o that_o be_v hallow_v be_v thy_o name_n and_o thy_o kingdom_n come_v so_o we_o may_v say_v when_o you_o have_v murmur_a and_o discontent_a heart_n you_o forget_v your_o prayer_n you_o forget_v what_o you_o have_v pray_v for_o for_o you_o must_v make_v the_o lords-prayer_n to_o be_v as_o a_o pattern_n for_o your_o prayer_n though_o you_o say_v not_o always_o the_o same_o word_n what_o do_v you_o pray_v but_o give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n for_o that_o be_v christ_n intention_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v that_o as_o a_o pattern_n and_o be_v a_o directory_n as_o it_o be_v how_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n now_o god_n do_v not_o teach_v any_o of_o you_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v i_o so_o much_o a_o year_n or_o let_v i_o have_v such_o kind_n of_o cloth_n and_o so_o many_o dish_n at_o my_o table_n christ_n do_v not_o teach_v you_o to_o pray_v so_o but_o he_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v we_o our_o bread_n show_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v content_a with_o a_o little_a what_o have_v you_o not_o bread_n to_o eat_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o here_o but_o have_v that_o obj._n but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v if_o i_o shall_v die_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o my_o child_n or_o if_o i_o have_v bread_n now_o i_o know_v not_o where_o i_o shall_v have_v it_o the_o next_o week_n or_o where_o i_o shall_v have_v provision_n for_o the_o winter_n answ_n where_o do_v christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v we_o provision_n for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n no_o but_o if_o we_o have_v bread_n for_o this_o day_n christ_n will_v have_v we_o content_a therefore_o when_o we_o murmur_v because_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o variety_n as_o other_o have_v we_o do_v as_o it_o be_v forget_v our_o paternoster_n it_o be_v against_o our_o prayer_n we_o do_v not_o in_o our_o life_n hold_v forth_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o sovereignity_n of_o god_n over_o we_o as_o we_o seem_v to_o acknowledge_v in_o our_o prayer_n therefore_o when_o at_o any_o time_n you_o find_v your_o heart_n murmur_v then_o do_v but_o reflect_v upon_o yourselves_o and_o think_v thus_o be_v this_o according_a to_o my_o prayer_n wherein_o i_o hold_v forth_o the_o sovereign_a power_n and_o authority_n that_o god_n have_v over_o i_o the_o seven_o thing_n that_o i_o add_v for_o the_o evil_a of_o discontentment_n be_v the_o woeful_a effect_n that_o come_v to_o a_o discontent_a heart_n from_o murmur_a i_o will_v name_v you_o five_o there_o be_v five_o evil_a effect_n that_o come_v from_o a_o murmur_a spirit_n 1_o by_o murmur_v and_o discontent_a in_o your_o heart_n you_o come_v to_o loose_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n how_o
