more_o skilful_a in_o the_o word_n of_o righteousness_n better_o to_o discern_v good_a &_o evil_a &_o to_o digest_v the_o strong_a meat_n of_o divine_a mystery_n as_o we_o grow_v up_o in_o our_o stature_n in_o christ_n jesus_n towards_o a_o perfect_a man_n we_o leave_v our_o childish_a knowledge_n behind_o 14._o and_o grow_v up_o to_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n &_o therefore_o in_o knowledge_n which_o be_v the_o head_n even_o christ._n the_o head_n be_v wisdom_n itself_o and_o they_o that_o grow_v in_o he_o grow_v ●n_o wisdom_n and_o still_o take_v high_a degree_n in_o the_o heavenly_a school_n under_o this_o high_a and_o most_o heavenly_a teacher_n three_o see_v god_n teach_v thou_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o he_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o teach_v thou_o go_v to_o the_o giver_n himself_o for_o this_o gift_n go_v to_o he_o by_o prayer_n and_o go_v to_o he_o public_o in_o the_o house_n of_o prayer_n and_o there_o join_v with_o the_o church_n in_o prayer_n for_o the_o spirit_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o his_o church_n the_o unite_n of_o many_o heart_n and_o voice_n in_o one_o petition_n make_v it_o the_o strong_a and_o more_o powerful_a with_o god_n and_o it_o may_v well_o be_v that_o when_o thou_o joyne_v with_o the_o congregation_n in_o prayer_n thou_o may_v join_v with_o some_o who_o shall_v not_o only_o double_v the_o strength_n of_o thy_o prayer_n by_o a_o equal_a strength_n of_o spirit_n add_v to_o thou_o but_o by_o a_o double_a portion_n of_o spirit_n exceed_v thou_o and_o so_o by_o this_o join_n of_o stock_n in_o public_a prayer_n thou_o may_v be_v a_o double_a gainer_n both_o while_o thou_o be_v a_o partaker_n of_o many_o prayer_n and_o while_o thou_o be_v partaker_n of_o some_o more_o powerful_a than_o thou_o own_o and_o indeed_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v speak_v of_o two_o or_o three_o gather_v together_o in_o his_o name_n except_o there_o have_v be_v some_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n in_o this_o gather_n

that_o when_o the_o church_n be_v unite_v in_o prayer_n they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o because_o christ_n be_v present_a with_o his_o church_n by_o this_o spirit_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n illuminate_v and_o teach_v both_o pastor_n and_o people_n our_o church_n pray_v for_o the_o pastor_n that_o god_n will_v illuminate_v they_o with_o true_a understanding_n and_o knowledge_n of_o his_o word_n and_o for_o the_o people_n that_o god_n who_o teach_v the_o heart_n of_o faithful_a people_n by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n may_v give_v we_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n to_o have_v a_o right_a judgement_n in_o all_o thing_n join_v then_o with_o the_o church_n in_o the_o offer_n up_o and_o receive_v down_o of_o such_o petition_n and_o do_v not_o by_o divide_v thyself_o from_o the_o offering_n divide_v thyself_o also_o from_o the_o receive_n but_o for_o so_o precious_a a_o gift_n as_o the_o spirit_n make_v thy_o prayer_n as_o powerful_a as_o thou_o can_v and_o more_o powerful_a may_v thou_o make_v it_o if_o thou_o get_v more_o power_n join_v together_o by_o a_o communion_n of_o saint_n seek_v god_n also_o by_o private_a prayer_n for_o this_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o christ_n himself_o have_v teach_v yea_o prove_v by_o undeniable_a argument_n 13._o that_o god_n will_v give_v to_o they_o that_o ask_v it_o and_o the_o experimental_a truth_n of_o this_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n many_o excellent_a saint_n have_v find_v and_o acknowledge_v profess_v that_o they_o receive_v sometime_o by_o prayer_n more_o light_a for_o the_o clear_n of_o dark_a place_n than_o by_o study_n and_o read_n tryph._n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o father_n in_o their_o homily_n and_o exposition_n do_v often_o interrupt_v their_o preach_n with_o pray_v and_o in_o prayer_n seek_v to_o be_v enable_v by_o the_o spirit_n for_o preach_v 22._o but_o come_v to_o god_n with_o faith_n for_o the_o promise_n run_v thus_o that_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v believe_v we_o shall_v receive_v come_v also_o with_o fervency_n for_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o 8._o that_o what_o friendship_n can_v do_v yet_o importunity_n may_v obtain_v and_o it_o have_v be_v try_v by_o the_o canaanitish_a woman_n and_o many_o other_o since_o her_o time_n that_o where_o a_o denial_n will_v not_o be_v take_v for_o a_o answer_n there_o

first_o that_o god_n do_v chief_o like_o those_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v for_o the_o spirit_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o as_o because_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n he_o like_v best_o that_o
