heathen_a private_a prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n to_o be_v use_v in_o secret_a where_o we_o can_v more_o particularize_v our_o sin_n when_o alone_o then_o be_v requisite_a to_o be_v do_v in_o public_a next_o we_o be_v to_o be_v frequent_a in_o prayer_n and_o not_o complain_v we_o want_v leisure_n for_o so_o do_v for_o he_o which_o be_v most_o busy_a may_v find_v some_o time_n to_o perform_v this_o duty_n else_o how_o can_v he_o expect_v his_o employment_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n for_o man_n to_o seek_v god_n at_o least_o morning_n and_o evening_n if_o they_o expect_v a_o blessing_n upon_o their_o endeavour_n next_o the_o advantage_n we_o reap_v by_o prayer_n be_v many_o first_o it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o speak_v free_o to_o the_o almighty_a second_o it_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n for_o it_o bring_v down_o blessing_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a to_o we_o three_o it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a duty_n it_o draw_v we_o near_o to_o god_n which_o qualify_v we_o for_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n where_o christ_n be_v at_o who_o right_a hand_n be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o next_o we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o we_o ask_v nothing_o which_o be_v unlawful_a but_o whatsoever_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o to_o ask_v it_o in_o faith_n and_o great_a humility_n second_o we_o must_v be_v attentive_a and_o mind_n what_o we_o be_v about_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o majesty_n of_o heaven_n we_o be_v to_o treat_v withal_o and_o that_o our_o necessity_n can_v be_v supply_v without_o his_o divine_a aid_n and_o

pray_v for_o must_v be_v to_o a_o good_a end_n that_o be_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o wealth_n to_o consume_v it_o upon_o our_o lust_n or_o for_o grandeur_n to_o exercise_v our_o malice_n upon_o our_o enemy_n but_o whatever_o we_o do_v must_v be_v do_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n through_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n in_o his_o blood_n even_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n ejaculation_n
