be_v word_n of_o mouth_n but_o lift_v up_o the_o thought_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o think_v every_o word_n direct_o unto_o god_n as_o you_o will_v do_v if_o you_o do_v see_v his_o glorious_a majesty_n with_o your_o bodily_a eye_n be_v well_o assure_v and_o steadfast_o mind_v that_o he_o look_v full_a upon_o you_o and_o mark_v all_o your_o behaviour_n yea_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n take_v most_o heedful_a insight_n of_o your_o thought_n and_o affection_n for_o long_a than_o you_o steadfast_o think_v upon_o he_o your_o word_n in_o prayer_n please_v he_o not_o and_o unless_o your_o desire_n be_v very_o earnest_a he_o will_v not_o regard_v your_o petition_n therefore_o enforce_v your_o mind_n to_o think_v very_o intend_o upon_o god_n and_o labour_n to_o have_v a_o hungry_a and_o thirsty_a desire_n of_o that_o which_o you_o pray_v for_o you_o see_v that_o i_o have_v often_o set_v down_o the_o word_n amen_n yea_o and_o sometime_o double_v it_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o will_v be_v very_o earnest_a and_o effectual_o fervent_a in_o my_o desire_n our_o saviour_n show_v we_o how_o earnest_a and_o importunate_a we_o shall_v be_v in_o pray_v unto_o god_n i_o pray_v

only_o by_o grant_v his_o request_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o prayer_n to_o god_n most_o vehement_o cry_v unto_o he_o for_o mercy_n and_o ever_o and_o anon_o pray_v again_o and_o again_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v in_o the_o garden_n not_o cease_v until_o he_o do_v as_o certain_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o very_o merciful_a unto_o us._n if_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v
