with_o a_o feel_a necessity_n and_o want_n as_o a_o whetstone_n to_o make_v our_o prayer_n fervent_a when_o seth_n call_v his_o son_n 26._o enosh_n that_o be_v miserable_a or_o calamitous_a than_o

forgive_v all_o debt_n heart-prayer_n true_a prayer_n be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o our_o word_n as_o our_o heart_n word_n in_o public_a prayer_n be_v necessary_a for_o other_o to_o hear_v and_o follow_v we_o and_o in_o private_a prayer_n they_o serve_v to_o hold_v our_o mind_n constant_a but_o the_o life_n of_o prayer_n stand_v in_o faithful_a desire_n for_o long_a speech_n be_v one_o

care_v not_o much_o for_o the_o cry_n of_o our_o flesh_n but_o for_o the_o cry_n of_o our_o heart_n for_o his_o ear_n be_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o he_o hear_v we_o say_v nothing_o to_o he_o but_o what_o he_o have_v first_o speak_v to_o we_o 2._o moses_n be_v silent_a at_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o yet_o god_n say_v to_o he_o 15._o why_o cry_v thou_o his_o mouth_n be_v close_o but_o his_o heart_n be_v cry_v to_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v grieve_v to_o see_v the_o people_n danger_n and_o yet_o believe_v god_n who_o promise_v to_o deliver_v they_o and_o be_v challenge_v god_n in_o his_o heart_n to_o keep_v his_o promise_n therefore_o one_o say_v that_o the_o people_n cry_v but_o god_n hear_v they_o not_o moses_n cry_v not_o and_o yet_o the_o lord_n answer_v he_o serm_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o people_n be_v in_o murmur_v and_o fleshly_a reason_n which_o god_n misregard_v but_o the_o secret_a and_o heart-cries_a of_o moses_n be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o point_v at_o this_o when_o he_o tell_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n help_v we_o to_o pray_v bring_v forth_o 26._o sigh_n and_o groan_n

weak_a desire_n be_v easy_o express_v but_o excessive_a desire_n can_v be_v equal_v by_o speech_n a_o rod_n serve_v a_o man_n in_o a_o small_a work_n but_o in_o a_o great_a he_o cast_v it_o away_o and_o take_v he_o to_o strong_a instrument_n so_o the_o tongue_n be_v a_o sufficient_a interpreter_n in_o other_o thing_n but_o here_o we_o leave_v it_o and_o take_v we_o to_o groan_n and_o sigh_n the_o best_a language_n of_o the_o heart_n man_n may_v be_v near_o and_o not_o hear_v we_o and_o yet_o our_o groan_n be_v hear_v in_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n we_o can_v bide_v in_o ourselves_o but_o will_v be_v at_o god_n and_o yet_o can_v win_v to_o he_o as_o we_o will_v therefore_o we_o groan_v under_o that_o restraint_n god_n suggestion_n to_o our_o heart_n be_v by_o inspiration_n of_o

of_o affection_n in_o breathe_v to_o he_o as_o the_o 1._o chase_a hart_n do_v to_o the_o water_n the_o kiss_n of_o christ_n on_o our_o soul_n be_v better_o impress_v and_o stamp_v by_o he_o than_o

of_o god_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o himself_o he_o he_o fill_v it_o both_o with_o himself_o and_o a_o desire_n of_o he_o that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o sensible_a of_o both_o the_o more_o
