thou_o may_v be_v if_o thou_o will_v prayer_n be_v the_o never-failing_a mean_n of_o bring_v thou_o if_o not_o all_o that_o thou_o think_v thou_o want_v yet_o all_o that_o indeed_o thou_o do_v that_o be_v all_o that_o god_n see_v fit_a for_o thou_o and_o therefore_o be_v there_o never_o so_o much_o weariness_n to_o thy_o flesh_n in_o the_o duty_n yet_o consider_v in_o what_o continual_a want_n thou_o stand_v of_o something_o or_o other_o from_o god_n it_o be_v madness_n to_o let_v that_o uneasiness_n dishearten_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o from_o this_o so_o sure_a mean_n of_o supply_v

own_o heart_n which_o like_o a_o sick_a palate_n can_v relish_v the_o most_o pleasant_a meat_n prayer_n be_v a_o pleasant_a duty_n but_o it_o be_v withal_o a_o spiritual_a one_o and_o therefore_o if_o thy_o heart_n be_v carnal_a if_o that_o be_v set_v either_o on_o the_o contrary_a otherwise_o pleasure_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o dross_n of_o the_o world_n no_o marvel_n then_o if_o thou_o taste_v

then_o second_o in_o humility_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v ourselves_o utter_o humility_n unworthy_a of_o any_o of_o those_o good_a thing_n we_o beg_v for_o and_o therefore_o sue_v for_o they_o only_o
