there_o be_v more_o require_v of_o they_o than_o of_o you_o that_o be_v poor_a but_o yet_o you_o have_v soul_n to_o save_v as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o have_v any_o love_n for_o yourselves_o you_o will_v be_v as_o willing_a to_o take_v what_o pain_n you_o can_v to_o save_v they_o you_o will_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o rich_a man_n only_o to_o

moreover_o i_o be_o full_o persuade_v that_o if_o you_o cast_v up_o your_o account_n right_a you_o shall_v never_o find_v yourselves_o one_o penny_n the_o poor_a at_o the_o year_n end_n for_o have_v spend_v every_o day_n one_o quarter_n or_o half_a a_o hour_n in_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o read_v and_o meditate_v on_o his_o holy_a word_n or_o in_o any_o other_o such_o good_a employment_n and_o yet_o more_o for_o your_o encouragement_n i_o dare_v assure_v you_o that_o at_o your_o life_n end_v you_o shall_v never_o repent_v of_o the_o time_n thus_o spend_v no_o not_o though_o it_o have_v be_v

out_o how_o little_a time_n you_o have_v and_o therefore_o grudge_v to_o allow_v any_o of_o it_o for_o holy_a duty_n i_o very_o much_o suspect_v that_o you_o can_v every_o day_n spend_v much_o more_o than_o these_o will_v take_v up_o in_o idleness_n and_o vanity_n nay_o perhaps_o in_o the_o alehouse_n to_o the_o great_a hurt_n of_o body_n soul_n and_o estate_n bethink_v you_o then_o sober_o when_o all_o your_o time_n come_v to_o be_v reckon_v for_o which_o way_n of_o spend_v it_o will_v be_v most_o to_o your_o comfort_n and_o now_o do_v according_o or_o if_o you_o say_v you_o have_v no_o time_n to_o throw_v away_o thus_o idle_o yet_o what_o a_o great_a matter_n will_v it_o be_v to_o rise_v one_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n soon_o than_o usual_a and_o to_o spend_v that_o time_n in_o prayer_n you_o can_v do_v more_o than_o this_o for_o your_o own_o pleasure_n or_o for_o a_o small_a profit_n and_o shall_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o your_o duty_n to_o he_o prevail_v as_o much_o with_o you_o nor_o yet_o think_v it_o will_v be_v enough_o for_o your_o excuse_n to_o pretend_v that_o your_o employment_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o your_o family_n can_v come_v together_o for_o prayer_n especial_o not_o in_o the_o morning_n which_o be_v like_a to_o be_v the_o plea_n of_o the_o husbandman_n rather_o than_o the_o tradesman_n this_o i_o say_v will_v not_o excuse_v your_o neglect_n since_o i_o question_v not_o but_o that_o by_o appoint_v your_o time_n of_o prayer_n a_o little_a early_o or_o by_o a_o prudent_a contrivance_n of_o your_o affair_n you_o may_v ordinary_o avoid_v this_o difficulty_n this_o i_o speak_v upon_o good_a ground_n since_o there_o be_v many_o who_o business_n in_o the_o world_n be_v as_o great_a as_o you_o and_o their_o calling_n the_o very_a same_o who_o can_v yet_o well_o enough_o keep_v up_o family_n prayer_n without_o any_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o you_o will_v pretend_v and_o what_o pray_v shall_v hinder_v but_o you_o may_v do_v the_o same_o if_o you_o have_v but_o the_o same_o love_n to_o god_n and_o zeal_n for_o his_o worship_n that_o they_o have_v but_o however_o when_o some_o of_o the_o family_n be_v necessary_o absent_a let_v as_o many_o come_v together_o as_o can_v and_o lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o your_o child_n or_o servant_n when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o can_v join_v with_o you_o in_o the_o family_n that_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o take_v some_o time_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n by_o themselves_o in_o private_a for_o which_o purpose_n i_o have_v add_v two_o short_a form_n for_o those_o of_o the_o young_a sort_n and_o indeed_o i_o will_v advise_v all_o beside_o their_o performance_n of_o family-duty_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o little_a time_n once_o in_o a_o day_n at_o least_o for_o their_o more_o secret_a

to_o hold_v on_o in_o a_o religious_a course_n of_o life_n who_o be_v not_o wont_a thus_o private_o to_o betake_v himself_o to_o god_n there_o to_o make_v his_o particular_a confession_n petition_n and_o return_n of_o praise_n and_o to_o ease_v himself_o of_o whatever_o burden_n lie_v on_o his_o mind_n which_o before_o other_o he_o can_v so_o free_o do_v and_o in_o these_o private_a prayer_n there_o be_v not_o common_o so_o much_o need_v of_o a_o form_n all_o our_o work_n now_o be_v to_o express_v the_o desire_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n to_o god_n only_o even_o to_o such_o a_o god_n as_o look_n at_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o not_o at_o the_o nimbleness_n or_o eloquence_n of_o our_o tongue_n nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o likely_a any_o form_n shall_v full_o reach_v to_o every_o man_n particular_a case_n but_o your_o best_a help_n will_v be_v to_o get_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o state_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n to_o know_v well_o your_o sin_n your_o temptation_n your_o necessity_n and_o danger_n and_o to_o get_v deep_o affect_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a concernment_n and_o then_o do_v but_o with_o uprightness_n and_o humility_n represent_v the_o very_a inward_a sense_n of_o your_o soul_n to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n and_o you_o shall_v never_o fail_v of_o acceptance_n through_o any_o weakness_n of_o expression_n yea_o remember_v it_o be_v this_o inward_a sincerity_n of_o heart_n that_o must_v at_o all_o time_n accompany_v your_o prayer_n if_o ever_o you_o hope_v for_o acceptance_n and_o therefore_o before_o i_o conclude_v let_v i_o make_v it_o my_o earnest_a request_n to_o you_o that_o you_o take_v special_a heed_n to_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o heart_n whenever_o you_o come_v before_o god_n in_o prayer_n as_o in_o all_o other_o holy_a duty_n you_o ought_v think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o speak_v a_o few_o good_a word_n upon_o your_o knee_n evening_n and_o morning_n with_o a_o seem_a reverence_n whilst_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n your_o heart_n be_v never_o move_v or_o affect_v with_o what_o you_o be_v do_v this_o be_v such_o a_o lip-service_n as_o neither_o will_v be_v

think_v they_o have_v serve_v god_n very_o well_o when_o they_o have_v patter_v over_o so_o many_o creed_n pater-noster_n and_o ave-maries_a a_o devotion_n which_o a_o parrot_n may_v go_v near_o to_o
