high_a regard_n be_v please_v to_o desire_v this_o of_o i_o that_o in_o the_o next_o edition_n of_o my_o prayer_n book_n i_o will_v add_v more_o than_o i_o have_v there_o say_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o put_v all_o family_n upon_o their_o prayer_n that_o i_o may_v not_o only_o show_v such_o as_o need_v the_o help_n how_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o but_o also_o if_o possible_a be_v instrumental_a so_o to_o prevail_v with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o still_o leave_v it_o undo_v and_o some_o late_a observation_n that_o i_o have_v make_v give_v i_o cause_n to_o enlarge_v the_o complaint_n in_o that_o preface_n of_o the_o dulness_n and_o indifferency_n of_o sinful_a man_n to_o that_o which_o be_v best_a for_o they_o and_o which_o most_o high_o concern_v they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v solicitous_a so_o as_o they_o use_v to_o show_v themselves_o in_o their_o worldly_a concern_v to_o seek_v after_o the_o provision_n and_o conveniency_n for_o the_o spiritual_a life_n unless_o these_o fall_n direct_o in_o their_o way_n and_o be_v set_v just_a before_o they_o for_o i_o find_v that_o some_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v but_o so_o much_o as_o to_o use_v they_o even_o when_o they_o have_v they_o ready_a by_o they_o now_o though_o the_o impression_n of_o that_o imperfect_a piece_n be_v go_v off_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o determine_v by_o those_o solicitation_n which_o will_v put_v i_o upon_o another_o because_o my_o end_n be_v already_o gain_v in_o see_v it_o communicate_v and_o all_o hand_n fill_v as_o far_o as_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v i_o have_v no_o motive_n now_o to_o be_v further_o concern_v unless_o it_o be_v to_o make_v such_o correction_n and_o to_o fill_v up_o such_o defect_n as_o may_v give_v myself_o if_o not_o other_o some_o better_a satisfaction_n in_o that_o performance_n but_o what_o i_o have_v here_o to_o offer_v will_v be_v too_o large_a to_o be_v insert_v in_o a_o preface_n and_o the_o time_n also_o may_v be_v too_o long_o to_o wait_v for_o that_o opportunity_n therefore_o this_o service_n to_o soul_n i_o now_o give_v out_o by_o itself_o and_o though_o i_o know_v it_o may_v be_v much_o better_o do_v by_o many_o other_o
