that_o respect_n only_o they_o give_v much_o yearly_a unto_o those_o that_o shall_v pray_v for_o they_o and_o true_o if_o they_o have_v pray_v aright_o they_o may_v by_o their_o prayer_n have_v give_v more_o than_o they_o receive_v for_o they_o may_v have_v obtain_v great_a thing_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o but_o here_o be_v another_o great_a abuse_n of_o that_o time_n in_o these_o prayer_n also_o that_o they_o have_v other_o thus_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o they_o rest_v in_o that_o and_o so_o neglect_v their_o own_o prayer_n the_o more_o and_o think_v that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o with_o the_o less_o danger_n for_o they_o have_v other_o that_o pray_v for_o they_o continual_o and_o so_o that_o that_o be_v want_v in_o themselves_o be_v supply_v by_o other_o david_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n for_o here_o by_o his_o practice_n we_o have_v a_o example_n of_o one_o that_o so_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o other_o as_o that_o he_o purpose_v not_o to_o neglect_v prayer_n himself_o or_o to_o use_v it_o any_o whit_n the_o less_o for_o that_o but_o to_o use_v it_o rather_o the_o more_o will_v they_o to_o pray_v god_n to_o hear_v his_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v himself_o their_o prayer_n shall_v do_v he_o no_o good_a but_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o one_o with_o he_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v desire_v a_o man_n to_o set_v his_o hand_n to_o a_o blank_a and_o so_o he_o shall_v prefer_v that_o as_o a_o supplication_n for_o he_o to_o the_o prince_n so_o we_o be_v to_o desire_v other_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o must_v not_o neglect_v to_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o objection_n but_o it_o may_v seem_v superfluous_a and_o more_o than_o need_v that_o david_n shall_v thus_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o people_n for_o they_o be_v his_o subject_n and_o therefore_o as_o in_o that_o respect_n they_o do_v owe_v other_o duty_n unto_o he_o so_o this_o of_o prayer_n most_o of_o all_o according_a to_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o will_v 2.1.2_o 1._o tim._n 2.1.2_o that_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n and_o namely_o for_o king_n and_o for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n therefore_o it_o be_v like_a that_o they_o will_v not_o neglect_v it_o though_o he_o have_v not_o admonish_v they_o of_o it_o beside_o it_o be_v a_o public_a cause_n that_o he_o deal_v in_o even_o against_o the_o open_a enemy_n of_o the_o whole_a realm_n against_o who_o he_o go_v to_o war_n and_o so_o it_o concern_v they_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o for_o the_o enemy_n come_v not_o against_o his_o person_n only_o but_o against_o they_o all_o and_o so_o they_o can_v not_o forget_v he_o their_o king_n unless_o they_o forget_v themselves_o answer_n yet_o because_o he_o know_v that_o man_n natural_o be_v forgetful_a and_o so_o if_o they_o be_v not_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o they_o may_v either_o whole_o neglect_v it_o or_o not_o do_v it_o so_o thorough_o as_o they_o shall_v he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o pray_v for_o himself_o and_o give_v they_o a_o form_n of_o it_o and_o so_o tell_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v say_v this_o shall_v move_v we_o to_o put_v our_o dear_a friend_n in_o mind_n of_o we_o and_o call_v upon_o they_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o us._n our_o dear_a friend_n have_v need_v to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o pray_v for_o us._n yea_o when_o they_o know_v our_o estate_n best_o and_o what_o great_a need_n we_o have_v of_o the_o prayer_n of_o other_o for_o they_o may_v forget_v we_o sometime_o though_o they_o wish_v we_o well_o and_o as_o through_o forgetfulness_n they_o may_v neglect_v other_o duty_n which_o yet_o they_o be_v will_v general_o to_o perform_v as_o not_o to_o visit_v we_o to_o send_v to_o we_o to_o write_v to_o we_o as_o often_o as_o they_o shall_v and_o we_o look_v for_o at_o their_o hand_n so_o much_o more_o not_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o for_o many_o time_n they_o that_o do_v the_o

of_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o prayer_n for_o our_o prince_n in_o the_o time_n of_o good_a queen_n elizabeth_n who_o life_n be_v so_o often_o seek_v and_o so_o desperate_o that_o she_o may_v true_o
