or_o utter_v after_o a_o prescript_n form_n to_o this_o you_o reply_v with_o diverse_a argument_n the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n be_v of_o faith_n it_o will_v minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n without_o a_o book_n this_o reason_n by_o a_o connection_n be_v draw_v from_o and_o depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o force_n and_o effect_n of_o faith_n to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n it_o be_v to_o be_v frame_v thus_o if_o the_o prayer_n with_o sigh_n

and_o groan_n be_v of_o faith_n it_o will_v minister_v matter_n without_o a_o book_n but_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o prayer_n with_o sigh_n and_o groan_n be_v not_o minister_v without_o a_o book_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n to_o make_v this_o argument_n strong_a and_o sufficient_a from_o the_o connection_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o lively_a efficacy_n thereof_o to_o utter_v prayer_n you_o must_v add_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o that_o faith_n be_v perfect_a unto_o this_o efficacy_n to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n and_o need_v no_o help_n the_o other_o that_o the_o effect_n and_o power_n of_o faith_n to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n can_v stand_v nor_o be_v join_v with_o any_o outward_a help_n unless_o i_o say_v you_o add_v these_o two_o with_o the_o

draw_v into_o a_o other_o form_n of_o syllogysme_n thus_o that_o which_o have_v power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o itself_o to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n need_v not_o any_o outward_a help_n nor_o can_v touch_v the_o utterance_n of_o matter_n in_o prayer_n stand_v with_o any_o outward_a help_n but_o faith_n have_v force_n and_o efficacy_n in_o itself_o to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o faith_n need_v not_o the_o help_n of_o a_o book_n nor_o can_v stand_v with_o any_o outward_a help_n touch_v the_o utterance_n of_o matter_n in_o prayer_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n in_o prayer_n red_a can_v be_v of_o faith_n this_o consequence_n shall_v never_o be_v bring_v in_o unless_o you_o frame_v your_o argument_n after_o that_o sort_n so_o that_o both_o these_o fantastical_a error_n be_v include_v in_o your_o speech_n the_o one_o that_o faith_n touch_v the_o efficacy_n to_o minister_v matter_n of_o prayer_n be_v so_o absolute_o perfect_a that_o it_o need_v no_o outward_a help_n the_o other_o that_o it_o can_v touch_v prayer_n stand_v with_o any_o outward_a help_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sigh_n nor_o groan_n nor_o any_o prayer_n that_o can_v be_v regard_v of_o god_n but_o such_o as_o come_v from_o faith_n i_o do_v also_o hold_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o in_o any_o without_o some_o efficacy_n and_o power_n to_o utter_v some_o matter_n of_o prayer_n but_o now_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o degree_n thereof_o for_o doubtless_o if_o there_o be_v in_o man_n a_o perfection_n of_o knowledge_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o quickness_n there_o shall_v need_v no_o outward_a help_n but_o the_o best_a come_v far_o short_a of_o that_o such_o as_o approach_v near_a there_o unto_o need_v so_o much_o the_o less_o any_o outward_a help_n but_o the_o most_o be_v ignorant_a weak_a short_a of_o memory_n dull_a and_o slow_a and_o need_v all_o help_n to_o stir_v they_o up_o and_o to_o direct_v they_o even_o as_o child_n that_o be_v to_o be_v stay_v up_o and_o lead_v by_o the_o hand_n prayer_n indeed_o be_v a_o spiritual_a work_n proceed_v from_o faith_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a gift_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v stand_v with_o outward_a mean_n and_o help_n the_o holyghost_n alone_o do_v work_v faith_n in_o man_n but_o yet_o it_o come_v by_o hear_v rom._n 10_o faith_n bring_v forth_o prayer_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o as_o the_o same_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n so_o be_v it_o cherish_v support_v increase_v continue_a and_o quicken_v in_o efficacy_n and_o make_v more_o forcible_a unto_o every_o good_a work_n by_o those_o help_n of_o outward_a mean_n for_o further_a confirmation_n you_o add_v yea_o no_o doubt_n a_o trouble_a mind_n be_v the_o pen_n of_o a_o ready_a writer_n let_v it_o stand_v in_o form_n of_o syllogism_n thus_o that_o which_o be_v the_o pen_n of_o a_o ready_a writer_n need_v not_o the_o help_n of_o a_o book_n but_o a_o
