by_o faith_n we_o attain_v any_o lively_a apprehension_n of_o it_o how_o solemn_a profitable_a and_o delightful_a do_v it_o make_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n with_o what_o joy_n do_v it_o bring_v we_o

to_o be_v religious_a it_o be_v a_o most_o experience_a truth_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v well_o reconcile_v to_o religion_n and_o steady_a in_o piety_n until_o we_o see_v it_o be_v our_o

of_o god_n through_o every_o part_n of_o prayer_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v endeavour_v and_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o duty_n i_o find_v it_o hard_o to_o keep_v my_o soul_n intent_n for_o my_o thought_n be_v slippery_a and_o swift_a and_o my_o heart_n be_v snatch_v away_o sometime_o against_o my_o will_n and_o before_o i_o be_o aware_a yea_o even_o then_o sometime_o when_o i_o have_v

be_v nothing_o but_o want_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o strange_a power_n of_o sense_n that_o weaken_v my_o spiritual_a apprehension_n and_o keep_v i_o from_o a_o unspeakable_a delight_n in_o my_o address_n to_o god_n what_o a_o high_a privilege_n be_v this_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o great_a jehovah_n as_o a_o child_n to_o a_o father_n or_o a_o friend_n to_o a_o friend_n but_o how_o slow_a of_o

best_a way_n to_o prevent_v it_o be_v to_o come_v to_o god_n with_o a_o expectation_n this_o set_v a_o edge_n upon_o our_o spirit_n i_o do_v not_o enough_o observe_v the_o return_v of_o prayer_n though_o god_n have_v say_v i_o shall_v never_o seek_v he_o in_o vain_a and_o when_o i_o observe_v i_o must_v acknowledge_v i_o have_v daily_a answer_n of_o my_o prayer_n in_o some_o kind_n or_o other_o nay_o i_o think_v i_o may_v say_v i_o never_o offer_v a_o fervent_a prayer_n to_o god_n but_o i_o receive_v something_o from_o he_o at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o frame_n of_o my_o own_o
