do_v not_o think_v at_o all_o whether_o he_o hear_v us._n learn_v therefore_o here_o god_n how_o our_o petition_n be_v show_v unto_o god_n that_o they_o petition_n must_v be_v show_v unto_o god_n that_o be_v that_o thou_o must_v so_o ask_v that_o thou_o doubt_v not_o that_o they_o petition_n be_v know_v and_o accept_v of_o god_n and_o believe_v certain_o that_o thou_o shall_v obtain_v what_o

shall_v receive_v nothing_o of_o the_o lord_n who_o may_v not_o now_o hereof_o perceive_v that_o that_o much_o babble_n and_o cry_v out_o which_o be_v make_v common_o through_o the_o world_n in_o monastery_n be_v a_o mock_v and_o delude_v of_o god_n the_o prayer_n of_o these_o if_o they_o may_v be_v call_v prayer_n be_v abundant_o show_v before_o man_n for_o they_o cry_v out_o and_o babble_n too_o much_o but_o there_o be_v no_o regard_n of_o they_o with_o god_n they_o be_v not_o know_v of_o he_o neither_o come_v they_o unto_o his_o ear_n that_o be_v he_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n hear_v they_o for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v or_o be_v assure_v that_o their_o cry_v out_o or_o much_o babble_n be_v hear_v of_o god_n wherefore_o as_o they_o believe_v so_o do_v they_o receive_v it_o be_v time_n therefore_o long_o since_o that_o those_o mockinge_n and_o blasphemy_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v abolish_v but_o if_o we_o pray_v as_o we_o be_v here_o teach_v there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o sure_o which_o we_o may_v not_o obtain_v not_o why_o we_o oftentimes_o pray_v and_o receive_v not_o now_o we_o pray_v for_o many_o thing_n continual_o and_o receive_v nothing_o neither_o be_v it_o any_o marvel_n see_v we_o pray_v so_o that_o our_o petition_n be_v not_o show_v unto_o god_n for_o that_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v manifest_a unto_o he_o wo_n to_o our_o

a_o most_o weighty_a cause_n to_o move_v we_o to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o neighbour_n wherefore_o shall_v it_o grieve_v we_o to_o deserve_v so_o well_o of_o all_o man_n when_o as_o god_n have_v

can_v be_v or_o can_v deserve_v of_o we_o as_o therefore_o god_n have_v with_o exceed_a bountifulness_n and_o kindness_n most_o gentle_o behave_v himself_o towards_o we_o of_o his_o mercy_n grant_v and_o give_v unto_o we_o all_o thing_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o all_o charity_n and_o good_a will_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n albeit_o they_o have_v otherwise_o deserve_v forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o subject_a to_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_a desire_n here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v affect_v towards_o man_n man_n
