thou_o can_v not_o enlarge_v thyself_o in_o prayer_n and_o now_o thou_o can_v and_o thou_o think_v thou_o be_v much_o grow_v it_o may_v be_v in_o bulk_n but_o not_o in_o goodness_n be_v thy_o prayer_n now_o more_o the_o breathe_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o thou_o and_o less_o of_o thy_o own_o spirit_n o_o how_o much_o strange_a fire_n mingle_v with_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o

even_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n warm_v our_o heart_n look_v to_o this_o do_v we_o find_v that_o we_o grow_v more_o spiritual_a in_o duty_n in_o prayer_n do_v we_o act_v our_o

and_o you_o see_v the_o poor_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o be_v rebuke_v for_o cry_v after_o jesus_n christ_n he_o cry_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_o and_o 31._o so_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o be_v in_o that_o great_a agony_n or_o strive_v under_o the_o displeasure_n of_o his_o father_n say_v the_o text_n he_o pray_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_o so_o the_o lord_n do_v

this_o may_v seem_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o increase_n of_o grace_n for_o that_o we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a for_o every_o
