these_o two_o last_o prayer_n you_o may_v sometime_o say_v the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o you_o may_v turn_v into_o a_o very_a good_a prayer_n by_o say_v after_o every_o one_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o incline_v my_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n where_o you_o not_o only_o beg_v pardon_n for_o the_o sin_n you_o have_v commit_v against_o each_o commandment_n but_o you_o also_o beg_v grace_n to_o keep_v it_o at_o the_o end_n of_o they_o you_o may_v say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o write_v all_o these_o thy_o law_n in_o my_o heart_n i_o beseech_v thou_o and_o so_o conclude_v with_o the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v not_o think_v that_o this_o practice_n of_o prayer_n will_v be_v too_o hard_a or_o too_o long_o for_o young_a person_n or_o for_o labour_a people_n for_o if_o you_o can_v say_v they_o all_o say_v as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v or_o if_o you_o be_v at_o day_n labour_n or_o have_v not_o time_n or_o convenience_n to_o say_v they_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n two_o or_o three_o hearty_a ejaculation_n in_o their_o place_n but_o if_o you_o can_v get_v time_n and_o convenience_n say_v they_o all_o and_o i_o dare_v assure_v you_o that_o all_o the_o three_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o i_o commend_v to_o you_o will_v not_o in_o all_o take_v up_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o certain_o that_o person_n have_v very_o little_a sense_n of_o his_o duty_n very_o little_o concern_v for_o his_o immortal_a soul_n very_o little_a honour_n for_o god_n or_o value_n for_o heaven_n who_o will_v not_o spend_v one_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n in_o the_o space_n of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n in_o the_o service_n
