be_v hear_v according_a to_o their_o cry_n how_o many_o in_o sickness_n have_v call_v for_o help_n how_o many_o in_o poverty_n have_v call_v for_o support_v and_o how_o many_o in_o exile_n have_v

for_o ever_o now_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o illative_a particle_n for_o it_o rest_v that_o we_o make_v use_v of_o it_o use_v i_o see_v man_n be_v a_o weak_a creature_n weak_a in_o all_o

thing_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v he_o know_v they_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v weak_a in_o obedience_n for_o the_o good_a that_o he_o will_v do_v that_o he_o do_v not_o and_o the_o evil_a that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v that_o he_o be_v lead_v captive_a to_o do_v in_o suffer_v for_o the_o bread_n and_o water_n of_o affliction_n be_v hard_a for_o he_o to_o digest_v and_o who_o be_v he_o who_o will_v glad_o deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v jesus_n but_o we_o be_v chief_o and_o above_o all_o weak_a in_o faith_n for_o even_o then_o when_o god_n have_v

and_o give_v we_o some_o measure_n of_o patience_n under_o it_o and_o final_o when_o he_o have_v lead_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o there_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pour_v out_o our_o desire_n before_o he_o with_o sigh_n which_o can_v be_v express_v unless_o in_o a_o instant_n and_o at_o the_o first_o cry_n we_o be_v hear_v in_o that_o which_o we_o fear_v and_o get_v out_o petition_n answer_v with_o a_o suitable_a correspondence_n o_o how_o weary_a be_v we_o how_o faint_a and_o how_o doubt_v we_o of_o the_o love_n and_o

may_v deliver_v we_o but_o when_o we_o can_v come_v he_o will_v draw_v we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v he_o will_v teach_v we_o both_o how_o and_o what_o to_o pray_v and_o final_o when_o we_o

when_o we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n by_o prayer_n to_o make_v these_o his_o peculiar_a instruction_n not_o only_o the_o signification_n of_o our_o desire_n and_o trenchman_n our_o heart_n

argument_n of_o faith_n and_o encouragement_n to_o confidence_n in_o our_o prayer_n which_o be_v take_v from_o god_n kingdom_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o make_v a_o direct_a reciproeation_n betwixt_o this_o conclusion_n and_o the_o second_o petition_n of_o this_o prayer_n and_o withal_o a_o direct_a opposition_n betwixt_o this_o conclusion_n and_o the_o last_o petition_n in_o the_o
