pray_v rather_o and_o most_o if_o not_o only_o and_o altogether_o for_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a then_o for_o carnal_a and_o earthly_a thing_n because_o the_o desire_n of_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n do_v purify_v and_o sanctify_v the_o soul_n and_o raise_v it_o up_o after_o they_o and_o make_v the_o soul_n like_v unto_o they_o yea_o transform_v into_o the_o nature_n and_o

spritual_a thing_n make_v the_o soul_n heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o the_o soul_n make_v it_o godly_a and_o godlike_a and_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n make_v it_o christ-like_a and_o to_o resemble_v he_o in_o his_o manifold_a grace_n and_o virtue_n but_o the_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o earthly_a and_o worldly_a thing_n make_v not_o the_o soul_n heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a but_o rather_o earthly_a and_o worldly_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o be_v desire_v in_o comparison_n of_o those_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n q._n how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v prayer_n to_o be_v distinguish_v a._n prayer_n be_v either_o private_a or_o public_a as_o also_o it_o be_v either_o mental_a or_o vocal_a mental_a
