because_o they_o pray_v not_o his_o word_n which_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o do_v wherefore_o to_o pray_v these_o word_n right_o thou_o must_v in_o some_o convenient_a measure_n understand_v

what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v well_o to_o use_v they_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o know_v not_o of_o ourselves_o as_o natural_a man_n what_o to_o ask_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o partly_o enlighten_v we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o partly_o stir_v up_o this_o heavenly_a motion_n in_o our_o mind_n to_o
