not_o a_o vile_a thing_n to_o hinder_v &_o disturb_v the_o saint_n in_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n 1._o either_o by_o deprive_v they_o of_o ordinance_n and_o rob_v

reason_n the_o saint_n be_v so_o much_o take_v with_o ordinance_n because_o they_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n in_o they_o they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o bridge_n to_o give_v they_o a_o passage_n to_o god_n as_o boat_n to_o convey_v they_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o christ_n spiritus_fw-la vehicula_fw-la spiritus_fw-la as_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o more_o intimate_a communion_n with_o

to_o pray_v they_o go_v to_o talk_v with_o a_o friend_n when_o to_o read_v they_o go_v to_o read_v a_o letter_n from_o a_o friend_n when_o to_o receive_v they_o go_v to_o sup_v with_o a_o friend_n they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v ordinance_n so_o precious_a indeed_o to_o they_o who_o have_v to_o do_v with_o nothing_o but_o duty_n in_o duty_n but_o prayer_n in_o prayer_n but_o hear_v in_o hear_v to_o they_o the_o ordinance_n be_v dead_a dry_a and_o spiritless_a thing_n but_o they_o who_o have_v

to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a frame_n we_o have_v often_o to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n and_o when_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o

ever_o to_o be_v upon_o our_o knee_n ever_o in_o actual_a prayer_n but_o see_v we_o be_v to_o pray_v so_o frequent_o we_o be_v to_o get_v and_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o such_o a_o habitual_a frame_n and_o disposition_n that_o they_o may_v be_v ever_o fit_a to_o close_v with_o god_n when_o ever_o we_o be_v call_v out_o upon_o the_o duty_n be_v we_o but_o seldom_o to_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n you_o may_v think_v there_o be_v no_o such_o need_n of_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o frame_n but_o see_v we_o be_v to_o do_v with_o he_o daily_o who_o be_v so_o pure_a and_o holy_a a_o god_n oh_o what_o

that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n let_v every_o one_o that_o hold_v up_o pray_v duty_n keep_v his_o heart_n in_o a_o pray_a frame_n such_o a_o christian_a be_v not_o worth_a a_o pin_n who_o be_v only_o good_a when_o he_o be_v on_o his_o knee_n who_o think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o snatch_v up_o affection_n to_o serve_v the_o turn_n of_o a_o duty_n and_o then_o to_o lay_v they_o aside_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o duty_n be_v over_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o who_o pray_v on_o his_o foot_n as_o well_o as_o on_o his_o knee_n who_o life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o real_a prayer_n that_o if_o you_o look_v into_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v all_o his_o desire_n engrave_v his_o heart_n ever_o pant_v and_o breathe_v the_o same_o thing_n he_o pray_v and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o his_o life_n his_o life_n speak_v the_o same_o language_n his_o lip_n do_v his_o life_n be_v a_o walk_a prayer_n many_o man_n be_v one_o upon_o their_o

man_n it_o be_v something_o to_o pray_v more_o to_o pray_v as_o a_o christian_a and_o more_o when_o you_o have_v pray_v your_o prayer_n to_o live_v your_o prayer_n nay_o to_o live_v those_o affection_n those_o disposition_n wherewith_o you_o pray_v to_o live_v as_o high_a as_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o see_v how_o we_o slide_v out_o of_o duty_n into_o the_o world_n and_o out_o of_o the_o world_n into_o duty_n again_o as_o if_o we_o be_v two_o contrary_a man_n one_o upon_o our_o knee_n and_o another_o on_o our_o foot_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v see_v man_n to_o

frame_n he_o who_o keep_v not_o close_o to_o god_n in_o practice_n shall_v never_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n in_o prayer_n distance_n in_o life_n breed_v distance_n in_o duty_n and_o what_o need_v of_o keep_v up_o pray_v affection_n what_o a_o shame_n to_o have_v our_o life_n give_v our_o lip_n the_o lie_n our_o practice_n be_v a_o confutation_n of_o our_o prayer_n in_o our_o prayer_n to_o be_v
