may_v read_v also_o in_o sacred_a scripture_n that_o many_o penitent_n join_v with_o their_o prarer_n smite_v their_o breast_n and_o cast_v ash_n upon_o their_o head_n rent_v their_o garment_n and_o

they_o serious_a and_o humble_a for_o while_o we_o cast_v up_o our_o eye_n and_o stretch_v our_o hand_n to_o heaven_n we_o declare_v and_o signify_v our_o ardent_a expectation_n of_o all_o aid_n and_o good_a from_o god_n alone_o and_o from_o none_o other_o when_o i_o kneel_v i_o express_v my_o humility_n when_o i_o smite_v my_o breast_n i_o show_v my_o indignation_n against_o myself_o for_o offend_v so_o gracious_a a_o god_n and_o the_o like_a i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n consist_v chief_o in_o inward_a not_o outward_a behaviour_n yet_o outward_a gesture_n be_v not_o only_o as_o i_o say_v sign_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o prayer_n but_o prevalent_a also_o to_o stir_v up_o our_o attention_n and_o to_o cast_v off_o all_o dulness_n and_o frigidity_n in_o pray_v beside_o these_o humble_a gesture_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o incite_v other_o that_o be_v spectator_n of_o our_o devotion_n to_o the_o like_a reverential_a performance_n and_o indeed_o since_o god_n be_v the_o creator_n not_o only_o of_o the_o soul_n but_o of_o the_o body_n also_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o the_o body_n one_o day_n must_v receive_v good_a or_o ill_o with_o the_o soul_n why_o shall_v not_o god_n be_v honour_v by_o both_o i_o confess_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o soul_n just_o chalength_n the_o first_o place_n in_o our_o prayer_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v think_v that_o god_n despise_v the_o prayer_n of_o he_o that_o sit_v stand_v or_o lie_v if_o his_o affection_n go_v along_o with_o they_o yet_o since_o god_n have_v give_v man_n a_o body_n with_o a_o soul_n for_o his_o own_o glory_n 6.20_o 1._o cor._n 6.20_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n direct_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n in_o all_o these_o forenamed_a gesture_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o heart_n must_v be_v lift_v up_o before_o the_o hand_n the_o heart_n must_v kneel_v before_o the_o body_n for_o the_o heart_n have_v knee_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n 3.14_o eph._n 3.14_o witness_n saint_n paul_n the_o

to_o but_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n though_o true_a vocal_a prayer_n be_v necessary_a to_o stir_v up_o our_o faint_a spirit_n and_o to_o incite_v other_o to_o the_o like_a duty_n for_o god_n by_o the_o prophet_n complain_v of_o such_o as_o be_v only_o word_v petitioner_n 29.13_o isa_n 29.13_o and_o our_o saviour_n quote_v the_o same_o text_n 15.8_o mat._n 15.8_o against_o the_o
