sweet_a salve_n of_o his_o bloody_a wound_n we_o must_v not_o slack_v to_o run_v unto_o god_n our_o heavenly_a father_n with_o continual_a and_o hearty_a prayer_n which_o prayer_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o necessary_a for_o christian_n that_o without_o the_o same_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o merit_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o see_v that_o daily_o experience_n do_v apparent_o but_o pitiful_o teach_v we_o that_o in_o these_o our_o day_n it_o be_v a_o exercise_n that_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o or_o very_o light_o use_v of_o many_o which_o bear_v

something_o of_o the_o same_o i_o say_v of_o prayer_n that_o the_o proud_a contempt_n of_o the_o disdainful_a epicure_n which_o pass_v not_o for_o prayer_n may_v be_v something_o abate_v and_o diminish_v that_o the_o licentious_a life_n of_o beastly_a belly_n god_n which_o take_v all_o their_o delight_n in_o worldly_a filthiness_n may_v by_o the_o terror_n of_o god_n judgement_n be_v correct_v and_o amend_v that_o the_o rarelesse_a concupiscence_n of_o worldly_a wicked_a man_n which_o wallow_v in_o wealth_n and_o worldly_a banity_n may_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o bind_a duty_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o contemn_v that_o such_o as_o be_v deceive_v by_o simplicity_n may_v be_v reform_v that_o such_o as_o know_v not_o how_o to_o pray_v so_o that_o they_o may_v merciful_o

danger_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n second_o that_o if_o with_o pure_a prayer_n we_o do_v as_o we_o ought_v call_v upon_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n for_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o most_o happy_a blissful_a &_o immortal_a salvation_n and_o three_o god_n guide_v i_o i_o will_v show_v plain_o how_o we_o may_v pray_v so_o that_o assure_o we_o shall_v obtain_v our_o request_n for_o although_o the_o singular_a goodness_n and_o incredible_a mercy_n of_o almighty_a god_n our_o love_a father_n can_v allure_v we_o the_o terrible_a vengeance_n which_o he_o pour_v down_o upon_o stiffnecked_a sinner_n may_v perchance_o constrain_v we_o to_o accomplish_v that_o which_o of_o duty_n we_o shall_v perform_v then_o when_o by_o continual_a fear_n of_o grievous_a plague_n and_o punishment_n we_o be_v drive_v from_o former_a negligence_n to_o needful_a and_o healthful_a diligence_n when_o by_o terror_n of_o severe_a justice_n the_o rain_n of_o our_o lose_a liberty_n be_v draw_v in_o more_o straight_o so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o run_v like_o roist_a rover_n at_o random_n to_o the_o heavy_a displeasure_n of_o
