be_v move_v to_o go_v seek_v for_o grace_n at_o god_n hand_n last_o he_o use_v with_o we_o great_a mercy_n in_o send_v christ_n his_o only_o beget_v son_n who_o albeit_o for_o the_o space_n of_o

which_o have_v think_v that_o god_n be_v honour_v most_o high_o with_o prayer_n because_o that_o he_o which_o pray_v hearty_o for_o grace_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n 10_o rom._n 10_o beléeve_v that_o god_n can_v know_v how_o &_o will_v hear_v he_o although_o he_o be_v unworthy_a it_o be_v needful_a then_o to_o have_v a_o great_a light_n and_o feel_v of_o god_n and_o how_o much_o the_o

crave_v with_o faith_n so_o much_o he_o honour_v god_n in_o prayer_n therefore_o god_n be_v wonderful_o honour_v chief_o for_o that_o in_o prayer_n all_o virtue_n be_v follow_v and_o exercise_v other_o say_v that_o patience_n honour_v god_n above_o all_o other_o virtue_n for_o because_o that_o when_o a_o man_n account_v that_o his_o adversity_n be_v send_v from_o god_n for_o his_o benefit_n he_o feel_v in_o they_o not_o so_o much_o the_o justice_n as_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n therefore_o by_o their_o mean_n he_o estmée_v god_n as_o his_o singular_a benefactor_n &_o

in_o this_o his_o creature_n he_o can_v not_o so_o joyful_o bear_v such_o great_a tribulation_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o comfort_v he_o with_o his_o divine_a grace_n it_o be_v see_v yet_o that_o

that_o there_o be_v no_o virtue_n which_o do_v so_o much_o honour_n god_n as_o humility_n and_o their_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o that_o only_a the_o humble_a person_n do_v acknowledge_v all_o
