a_o heart_n to_o crave_v and_o this_o be_v get_v by_o prayer_n as_o water_v put_v into_o a_o pump_n will_v bring_v forth_o much_o water_n so_o pray_v that_o you_o may_v pray_v if_o your_o earthly_a

therefore_o we_o mention_v he_o only_o though_o we_o may_v mention_v the_o other_o yet_o we_o pray_v only_o to_o the_o father_n how_o do_v this_o word_n father_n help_v a_o man_n to_o call_v on_o

a_o man_n will_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o his_o son_n easy_o and_o will_v spare_v his_o son_n though_o he_o be_v a_o prodigal_a yet_o a_o father_n will_v pass_v by_o and_o cover_v all_o so_o i_o pray_v

aim_v at_o a_o thing_n the_o father_n accept_v he_o if_o he_o speak_v but_o half_a a_o sentence_n the_o father_n interpret_v it_o so_o this_o be_v the_o great_a encouragement_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o go_v to_o god_n that_o notwithstanding_o so_o many_o fail_n and_o though_o so_o dead_a and_o so_o barren_a yet_o a_o father_n bear_v all_o the_o lord_n interpret_v all_o though_o but_o break_v
