which_o this_o same_o prayer_n begin_v that_o it_o may_v warn_v we_o that_o even_o as_o our_o prayer_n so_o also_o all_o our_o affection_n ought_v to_o begin_v and_o end_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o

our_o prayer_n he_o also_o order_v our_o action_n so_o as_o speak_v to_o god_n we_o also_o speak_v to_o ourselves_o by_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o learn_v also_o to_o fear_v he_o and_o sure_o when_o you_o shall_v see_v unrulinesse_n in_o a_o household_n either_o by_o disobedience_n of_o the_o child_n or_o by_o dissension_n between_o man_n and_o wife_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a witness_n that_o god_n be_v not_o there_o call_v upon_o as_o he_o ought_v for_o this_o only_a action_n of_o lift_v up_o of_o heart_n and_o hand_n together_o unto_o god_n may_v have_v suffice_v to_o reunite_v their_o divide_a affection_n and_o entertain_v from_o day_n to_o day_n their_o family_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o by_o speak_v often_o to_o god_n we_o learn_v to_o love_v he_o and_o love_v he_o to_o follow_v he_o moses_n his_o face_n become_v shine_v for_o have_v speak_v with_o god_n so_o our_o soul_n will_v become_v enlighten_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n when_o we_o and_o counsel_n all_o the_o ambition_n of_o so_o great_a a_o monarch_n and_o make_v he_o contribute_v at_o unaware_o unto_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o prophecy_n that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a of_o the_o world_n employ_v itself_o for_o the_o least_o of_o his_o child_n and_o serve_v for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o love_n the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v full_a of_o such_o example_n right_o may_v it_o be_v call_v the_o book_n of_o true_a love_n see_v that_o therein_o god_n not_o only_o unfold_v his_o love_n but_o also_o bind_v we_o to_o love_v he_o and_o not_o only_o exhort_v we_o to_o this_o love_n

that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o we_o have_v have_v experience_n that_o after_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n the_o spark_n of_o love_n do_v kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o that_o hear_v god_n
