because_o although_o the_o prayer_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o except_o the_o person_n be_v accept_v from_o who_o it_o come_v the_o lord_n regard_v it_o not_o you_o know_v in_o the_o old_a law_n the_o blood_n of_o swine_n be_v reckon_v a_o abominable_a sacrifice_n 66.3_o yet_o if_o you_o take_v the_o blood_n of_o sheep_n and_o compare_v they_o together_o you_o shall_v find_v no_o difference_n it_o may_v be_v the_o swine_n blood_n be_v the_o better_a then_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o swine_n blood_n be_v not_o accept_v even_o because_o of_o the_o subject_n of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o

the_o prayer_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n it_o may_v be_v if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o petition_n or_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o prayer_n itself_o you_o shall_v find_v some_o time_n the_o prayer_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n more_o cold_a and_o less_o fervent_a the_o petition_n be_v not_o so_o well_o frame_v as_o the_o wicked_a man_n yet_o because_o this_o come_v from_o such_o a_o person_n the_o
