that_o his_o prayer_n flow_v from_o his_o heart_n &_o be_v indict_v by_o the_o right_a spirit_n for_o if_o god_n leave_v we_o to_o our_o own_o natural_a spirit_n we_o neither_o know_v what_o to_o

we_o certain_a of_o his_o faith_n second_o of_o his_o repentance_n i_o say_v it_o make_v we_o certain_a of_o his_o faith_n for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o i_o can_v crave_v any_o thing_n at_o

companion_n faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v inseparable_a as_o peter_n testify_v in_o the_o act_n 15._o chap._n for_o so_o far_o as_o the_o heart_n be_v purge_v so_o far_o be_v the_o life_n renew_v so_o faith_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n go_v together_o faith_n and_o repentance_n must_v also_o go_v together_o then_o his_o prayer_n testify_v his_o faith_n his_o faith_n testify_v his_o
