help_n for_o then_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o busy_a and_o we_o most_o weak_a 2_o because_o when_o we_o be_v to_o die_v we_o be_v to_o beg_v the_o great_a boon_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o into_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n now_o prayer_n be_v the_o chief_a mean_n to_o obtain_v this_o mercy_n for_o it_o be_v porta_n coeli_fw-la clavis_fw-la paradisi_fw-la the_o

to_o take_v his_o last_o fare_n well_o of_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o pray_v but_o all_o thanksgiving_n there_o be_v no_o need_n in_o heaven_n therefore_o no_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n
