last_o the_o main_a cause_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v sin_n and_o spiritual_a rebellion_n now_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o nature_n and_o number_n the_o quantity_n and_o

ample_a and_o clear_a proof_n hereof_o give_v my_o reader_n this_o division_n and_o easy_o make_v it_o good_a viz._n that_o thing_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o or_o against_o be_v either_o first_o evil_a which_o be_v threefold_a to_o wit_n temporal_a spiritual_a and_o eternal_a and_o prayer_n be_v profitable_a against_o all_o these_o evil_n temporal_a and_o spiritual_a evil_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n to_o wit_n either_o fear_v or_o feel_v and_o answerable_o thereunto_o we_o pray_v either_o to_o be_v preserve_v from_o they_o or_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o they_o when_o we_o fear_v they_o or_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o they_o or_o for_o the_o removal_n of_o they_o when_o they_o be_v feel_v by_o we_o and_o lie_v upon_o we_o now_o prayer_n be_v profitable_a for_o both_o these_o viz._n both_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o evil_n and_o preservation_n out_o of_o evil_n or_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o be_v good_a which_o likewise_o be_v threefold_a namely_o temporal_a spiritual_a and_o eternal_a now_o prayer_n be_v profitable_a for_o the_o procure_n of_o all_o these_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v either_o desire_v or_o enjoy_v and_o according_o we_o pray_v either_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o when_o we_o want_v they_o or_o for_o the_o continuance_n or_o increase_v of_o they_o or_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bless_v unto_o we_o when_o we_o possess_v they_o and_o prayer_n be_v profitable_a for_o both_o viz._n both_o for_o the_o procure_n of_o those_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o want_v and_o for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o and_o bless_a
