if_o you_o can_v get_v time_n and_o convenience_n say_v they_o all_o and_o i_o dare_v assure_v you_o that_o all_o the_o three_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o i_o commend_v to_o you_o will_v not_o in_o

the_o salvation_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n i_o do_v by_o all_o mean_n exhort_v you_o to_o give_v your_o servant_n a_o few_o minute_n leisure_n at_o noon_n to_o pray_v after_o your_o example_n and_o to_o use_v your_o child_n to_o do_v the_o same_o for_o they_o will_v soon_o be_v able_a to_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o two_o or_o three_o ejaculation_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o say_v these_o at_o noon_n as_o well_o as_o at_o morning_n and_o at_o night_n and_o it_o be_v incredible_a to_o think_v how_o much_o good_a this_o practice_n will_v do_v they_o and_o what_o great_a comfort_n you_o yourselves_o will_v reap_v from_o the_o early_a devotion_n of_o your_o child_n to_o further_o this_o devotion_n in_o your_o child_n instead_o of_o idle_a tale_n and_o song_n which_o pollute_v their_o soul_n and_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v serious_a will_n cost_n they_o great_a pain_n to_o unlearn_v you_o must_v teach_v they_o short_a psalm_n by_o heart_n which_o will_v exercise_v their_o
