deny_v for_o they_o have_v a_o constant_a observation_n by_o way_n of_o prayer_n in_o what_o they_o practise_v which_o in_o itself_o be_v as_o formal_a as_o the_o set-prayer_n common_o use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n for_o they_o can_v set_v their_o own_o time_n both_o to_o begin_v and_o to_o make_v a_o end_n and_o when_o they_o will_v they_o can_v utter_v word_n and_o when_o they_o will_v they_o can_v be_v silent_a and_o they_o have_v their_o own_o conception_n at_o command_n and_o can_v either_o perform_v or_o not_o perform_v in_o their_o own_o time_n and_o this_o be_v the_o unclean_a part_n which_o offer_v unto_o god_n which_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v neither_o be_v any_o prayer_n regard_v or_o accept_v of_o god_n but_o the_o prayer_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o he_o by_o his_o own_o birth_n so_o that_o these_o few_o thing_n be_v serious_o consider_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v now_o common_o use_v observe_v and_o practise_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n be_v not_o true_a prayer_n but_o a_o bare_a formality_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o contradictory_n and_o so_o be_v not_o perform_v with_o a_o right_a understanding_n and_o it_o be_v as_o manifest_v that_o all_o other_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o be_v conceive_v and_o perform_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o true_a prayer_n neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o more_o than_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o differ_v in_o nothing_o but_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o however_o they_o may_v differ_v in_o the_o practice_n yet_o they_o meet_v in_o the_o ground_n and_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o the_o unclean_a part_n and_o so_o be_v not_o perform_v with_o a_o understanding_n as_o prayer_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v now_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v manifest_a from_o god_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n do_v so_o enlighten_v he_o as_o to_o make_v he_o sensible_a that_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o in_o himself_o be_v miserable_a and_o eternal_o liable_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n without_o the_o lord_n appear_v for_o he_o and_o work_v his_o deliverance_n and_o as_o man_n take_v heed_n to_o that_o spirit_n which_o do_v so_o enlighten_v he_o and_o make_v manifest_a his_o condition_n to_o he_o than_o the_o spirit_n begin_v to_o quicken_v and_o stir_v up_o something_o in_o he_o that_o desire_v after_o god_n and_o breathe_v after_o god_n and_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n begin_v to_o arise_v in_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o misery_n and_o the_o breathe_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o earnest_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o cry_n arise_v for_o help_v and_o deliverance_n and_o though_o that_o which_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o spirit_n to_o breath_n in_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o as_o a_o babe_n in_o youngness_n and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o it_o ought_v but_o stand_v sigh_v and_o groan_v and_o mourning_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o burden_n weight_n and_o load_n that_o lie_v upon_o it_o yet_o the_o spirit_n in_o that_o state_n help_v its_o infirmity_n and_o make_v request_n for_o it_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n know_v what_o the_o babe_n want_v and_o with_o what_o it_o be_v burden_v and_o so_o make_v intercession_n unto_o god_n for_o it_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n the_o babe_n have_v access_n to_o god_n and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o young_a yet_o it_o cry_v abba_n father_n and_o so_o it_o breathe_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o cry_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o pray_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n do_v rise_v from_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o its_o own_o weakness_n and_o the_o want_n of_o god_n mercy_n for_o it_o understand_v in_o the_o spirit_n what_o it_o want_v and_o be_v sensible_a what_o burden_n lie_v upon_o it_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n it_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o submit_v its_o self_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o there_o find_v grace_n to_o help_v it_o in_o its_o need_n for_o the_o spirit_n bring_v relief_n from_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n and_o supply_v the_o babe_n in_o all_o its_o want_n and_o every_o breathe_n be_v minister_v unto_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o here_o the_o babe_n pray_v aright_o and_o ask_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o he_o hear_v its_o complain_n and_o in_o his_o compassion_n he_o answer_v its_o petition_n and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o receive_v from_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o he_o give_v unto_o it_o daily_a bread_n and_o nourish_v it_o with_o his_o own_o virtue_n after_o which_o it_o breathe_v and_o stand_v by_o it_o to_o help_v it_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n and_o so_o the_o babe_n beget_v by_o the_o spirit_n pray_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o receive_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v strengthen_v with_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v true_a prayer_n though_o never_o a_o word_n be_v speak_v through_o utterance_n for_o the_o babe_n breathe_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o cry_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o pray_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o it_o so_o breathe_v and_o cry_n and_o pray_v in_o secret_a even_o so_o the_o father_n which_o see_v in_o secret_a do_v reward_v it_o open_o and_o by_o his_o power_n remove_v the_o burden_n from_o it_o and_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n lift_v up_o its_o head_n and_o in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o deliver_v it_o out_o of_o all_o trouble_n and_o from_o its_o quicken_a and_o first_o breathe_v it_o go_v on_o from_o strength_n to_o strength_n and_o from_o virtue_n to_o virtue_n even_o as_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v receive_v strength_n in_o the_o spirit_n then_o by_o the_o spirit_n it_o have_v utterance_n give_v and_o can_v utter_v word_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o pray_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o pray_v with_o a_o understanding_n and_o that_o which_o it_o express_v in_o word_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v a_o comfort_n to_o every_o babe_n that_o be_v breathe_v in_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o babe_n beget_v by_o the_o spirit_n pray_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o their_o prayer_n return_v into_o their_o bosom_n and_o be_v answer_v with_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n for_o they_o ask_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o his_o name_n they_o receive_v their_o satisfaction_n and_o so_o here_o be_v a_o time_n of_o sigh_v and_o groan_v and_o mourning_n and_o complain_v and_o a_o time_n of_o breathe_v and_o cry_v and_o pray_v and_o a_o time_n of_o receive_v and_o rejoice_v wherein_o the_o babe_n of_o life_n do_v come_v to_o inherit_v that_o which_o they_o have_v breathe_v after_o and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o live_a praise_n unto_o god_n who_o have_v answer_v their_o prayer_n in_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n so_o all_o must_v come_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o be_v order_v and_o cease_v from_o their_o own_o word_n and_o from_o their_o own_o time_n and_o learn_v to_o be_v silent_a until_o the_o spirit_n give_v
