servant_n of_o god_n do_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o what_o soever_o little_a taste_n he_o find_v in_o his_o prayer_n as_o some_o use_n to_o do_v who_o when_o they_o shed_v a_o few_n tear_n or_o feel_v a_o little_a tenderness_n of_o hart_n persuade_v themselves_o that_o then_o they_o have_v accomplish_v and_o perform_v their_o exercise_n but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o here_o we_o seek_v for_o for_o like_a as_o a_o little_a dew_n or_o sprinkle_n of_o water_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n which_o do_v no_o more_o but_o only_o allay_v the_o dust_n and_o wet_v the_o uppermost_a part_n of_o the_o grind_v but_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v so_o much_o water_n that_o it_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o innermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n &_o there_o soak_v and_o water_n through_o the_o same_o even_o so_o be_v it_o requisite_a to_o have_v here_o abundance_n of_o this_o due_a and_o water_n of_o heaven_n to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v counsel_v not_o without_o great_a reason_n that_o we_o take_v as_o long_a time_n for_o this_o holy_a exercise_n as_o we_o may_v and_o better_o it_o be_v to_o have_v one_o long_a time_n for_o the_o same_o than_o two_o short_a time_n for_o if_o the_o time_n be_v short_a all_o be_v spend_v almost_o in_o settle_v the_o imagination_n and_o in_o quiet_v the_o mind_n and_o then_o when_o we_o have_v quiet_v the_o same_o we_o rise_v from_o our_o exercise_n even_o when_o we_o shall_v begin_v it_o and_o descend_v more_o in_o particular_a to_o limit_v this_o time_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o what_o soever_o be_v less_o than_o one_o hour_n and_o a_o half_a or_o two_o hour_n be_v to_o short_a a_o time_n for_o prayer_n because_o that_o oftentimes_o there_o be_v spend_v more_o than_o half_a a_o hour_n in_o temper_v our_o instrument_n that_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o quiet_v our_o imagination_n and_o so_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o time_n be_v requisite_a for_o the_o enjoy_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o prayer_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o go_v to_o this_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n after_o some_o other_o holy_a exercise_n our_o hart_n be_v then_o better_o dispose_v for_o this_o affair_n and_o so_o like_o dry_a wood_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o conceive_v more_o quick_o in_o itself_o this_o heavenly_a fire_n likewise_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n our_o meditation_n may_v be_v the_o long_o because_o than_o our_o hart_n be_v much_o better_o dispose_v for_o this_o exercise_n then_o at_o any_o other_o time_n howbeit_o in_o case_n that_o a_o man_n have_v little_a time_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o manifold_a business_n yet_o let_v he_o not_o omit_v to_o
