manner_n of_o prayer_n specify_v the_o order_n in_o the_o act_n &_o demand_n there_o mention_v be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o some_o …_o 〈◊〉_d give_v so_o great_a light_n &_o cleerne_v from_o the_o very_a beginning_n &_o move_v the_o hart_n of_o he_o that_o pray_v in_o such_o manner_n that_o the_o prayer_n be_v begin_v and_o end_v with_o a_o familiar_a speech_n with_o his_o divine_a majesty_n or_o with_o some_o affect_v of_o admiration_n of_o thanksgiving_n of_o love_n of_o compassion_n or_o the_o like_a 19_o but_o above_o all_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o observe_v that_o prayer_n be_v a_o peculiar_a gift_n of_o god_n as_o likewise_o be_v all_o the_o act_n and_o affection_n of_o it_o above_o say_v for_o many_o do_v see_v hear_v and_o read_v much_o and_o yet_o

be_v overcome_v with_o the_o difficultye_n which_o our_o deprave_a nature_n represent_v and_o the_o devil_n sugge_v and_o nourish_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o good_a purpose_n make_v be_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n but_o to_o conclude_v who_o live_v well_o pray_v well_o and_o although_o he_o be_v brief_a and_o barren_a in_o word_n yet_o will_v our_o lord_n that_o look_v into_o his_o

abundant_o by_o how_o much_o he_o be_v more_o free_a &_o liberal_a with_o his_o divine_a majesty_n 20._o prayer_n be_v the_o golden_a key_n which_o open_v the_o gate_n of_o royal_a palace_n even_o to_o the_o inermost_a closert_n and_o at_o all_o hour_n give_v free_a entrance_n and_o access_n to_o the_o king_n 21._o and_o if_o the_o natural_a pleasure_n which_o man_n find_v in_o live_v near_o

to_o overcome_v all_o the_o incommoditye_n and_o labour_n which_o those_o that_o serve_v king_n &_o prince_n do_v endure_v continual_o in_o their_o service_n what_o pleasure_n be_v it_o to_o serve_v near_o unto_o god_n himself_o &_o to_o be_v conversant_a with_o he_o and_o to_o have_v free_a entrance_n to_o his_o presence_n at_o all_o hour_n and_o in_o all_o place_n by_o mean_n of_o prayer_n 22._o his_o conversation_n be_v so_o sweet_a and_o his_o presence_n so_o delightful_a that_o the_o bless_a spirit_n do_v and_o shall_v entertain_v themselves_o therewith_o for_o all_o eternity_n without_o wearynes_n or_o desire_v to_o enjoy_v any_o other_o good_a 23._o yea_o we_o see_v here_o upon_o earth_n that_o saint_n paul_n and_o s._n hilarion_n and_o many_o such_o other_o that_o give_v themselves_o whole_o to_o prayer_n and_o contemplative_a life_n live_v many_o year_n in_o the_o wilderness_n &_o must_v solitary_a desert_n with_o great_a joy_n and_o contentment_n find_v no_o want_n of_o conversation_n with_o man_n nor_o of_o the_o commodity_n and_o pleasure_n of_o city_n be_v sufficient_o entertain_v with_o this_o only_a comunication_n and_o conversation_n with_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o prayer_n 24._o and_o so_o we_o read_v of_o saint_n anthony_n that_o after_o he_o have_v spend_v all_o the_o night_n in_o prayer_n he_o complain_v of_o the_o sun_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v behind_o his_o back_n overnight_o &_o when_o in_o the_o morning_n it_o do_v arise_v in_o his_o face_n trouble_v his_o attention_n and_o the_o quietness_n of_o his_o prayer_n 25._o prayer_n make_v the_o same_o s._n anthony_n so_o learn_v without_o use_n of_o book_n that_o he_o astonish_v the_o philosopher_n of_o alexandria_n that_o come_v to_o see_v he_o because_o he_o have_v his_o light_n from_o heaven_n and_o the_o whole_a university_n of_o god_n creature_n serve_v he_o for_o a_o library_n and_o whosoever_o study_v as_o he_o shall_v in_o this_o library_n of_o s._n anthony_n can_v fail_v to_o prove_v both_o wise_a and_o learned_a 26._o prayer_n guide_v king_n david_n in_o the_o government_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o be_v a_o excellent_a counsellor_n of_o king_n and_o of_o all_o those_o that_o do_v manage_v weighty_a affair_n not_o to_o err_v in_o they_o as_o josue_n err_v when_o he_o be_v deceyve_v by_o the_o gabionite_n because_o he_o do_v not_o consult_v his_o resolution_n with_o god_n nor_o ask_v he_o counsel_v in_o prayer_n before_o he_o give_v they_o answer_v 27._o and_o to_o conclude_v in_o one_o word_n the_o profit_n and_o dignity_n of_o prayer_n it_o make_v man_n like_a unto_o angel_n who_o without_o lose_v the_o sight_n of_o their_o god_n work_n &_o accomplish_v his_o commaundment_n and_o they_o always_o work_v aright_o and_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o error_n because_o they_o work_v always_o with_o the_o knowledge_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o light_n 28._o it_o be_v a_o angelical_a life_n to_o live_v and_o work_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v of_o bruit_n beast_n to_o spend_v the_o time_n in_o forgetfulness_n of_o he_o &_o without_o the_o use_n of_o prayer_n the_o felicity_n of_o beast_n be_v to_o seek_v only_a delight_n in_o sensual_a pleasure_n without_o thanks_o for_o benefit_n receyve_v or_o memory_n of_o obligation_n present_a or_o providence_n of_o necessity_n to_o come_v but_o man_n by_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o nature_n be_v bind_v to_o more_o because_o his_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o his_o body_n shall_v rise_v again_o from_o death_n and_o both_o together_o enjoy_v for_o ever_o that_o which_o they_o have_v provide_v together_o for_o themselves_o in_o this_o life_n with_o god_n in_o eternal_a felicity_n or_o with_o the_o damn_a spirit_n in_o misery_n and_o torment_n
