the_o separation_n who_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n for_o that_o as_o they_o say_v be_v curse_v of_o the_o spirit_n but_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o set_a

heaven_n as_o divers_a psalm_n sing_v together_o in_o sevorall_a tune_n will_v in_o we_o i_o remember_v the_o apostle_n paul_n make_v mention_n of_o three_o grace_n viz._n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n but_o the_o chief_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n charity_n and_o love_n be_v the_o chief_a 13._o propter_fw-la durationem_fw-la for_o in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v both_o that_o we_o do_v believe_v and_o hope_v for_o but_o love_n shall_v accompany_v we_o there_o also_o in_o imitation_n thereof_o i_o shall_v also_o name_v three_o prayer_n praise_n and_o patience_n but_o the_o chief_a of_o these_o be_v praise_n and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n because_o it_o shall_v outlast_v all_o other_o here_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o thing_n necessary_a both_o for_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o prayer_n here_o we_o be_v trouble_v and_o afflict_v with_o divers_a kind_n of_o adversity_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n but_o hereafter_o in_o heaven_n all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v away_o from_o our_o eye_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n then_o of_o prayer_n or_o patience_n only_a praise_n shall_v still_o remain_v than_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o now_o be_v the_o great_a joy_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o consort_v themselves_o with_o the_o saint_n in_o sing_v glory_n and_o honour_n and_o praise_n to_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o to_o the_o lamb_n for_o evermore_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o duty_n in_o general_n and_o now_o give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o
