to_o prayer_n before_o thou_o begin_v to_o pray_v good_a christian_n reader_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n of_o thou_o principal_o to_o be_v note_v which_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v 1_o the_o first_o be_v to_o bewail_v thy_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o they_o promise_v never_o to_o commit_v the_o like_a again_o for_o at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n do_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o hart_n i_o will_v put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o my_o remembrance_n say_v the_o lord_n 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o must_v be_v persuade_v in_o thy_o faith_n and_o conscience_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v hear_v &_o regard_v whatsoever_o thou_o do_v pray_v for_o or_o else_o thy_o prayer_n be_v make_v altogether_o in_o vain_a for_o whatsoever_o proceed_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n 3_o and_o the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o must_v go_v with_o a_o upright_o &_o a_o clear_a conscience_n before_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n not_o bear_v malice_n or_o envy_n to_o any_o thy_o brethren_n or_o sister_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v how_o can_v thou_o love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n who_o thou_o have_v not_o see_v when_o thou_o hate_v thy_o brother_n who_o thou_o see_v daily_a thus_o good_a reader_n if_o thou_o do_v diligent_o mark_v and_o consider_v these_o three_o point_n and_o follow_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v hear_v what_o soever_o thou_o praie_v and_o also_o grant_v thou_o thy_o request_n for_o how_o can_v thou_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o direct_v thou_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o thou_o do_v not_o bewail_v and_o lament_v for_o thy_o offence_n which_o be_v pass_v and_o how_o do_v thou_o think_v to_o obtain_v thy_o request_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n when_o thou_o do_v not_o pray_v by_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o clear_a conscience_n and_o how_o can_v thou_o pray_v with_o a_o clear_a conscience_n when_o thou_o bear_v malice_n and_o envy_n to_o thy_o brethren_n or_o sister_n which_o be_v all_o member_n of_o one_o mystical_a body_n with_o thou_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n
