nothing_o do_v more_o full_o convince_v we_o of_o our_o weakness_n than_o our_o inability_n to_o pray_v we_o may_v think_v if_o we_o consider_v thing_n only_o in_o the_o idea_n as_o they_o speak_v without_o consult_v experience_n that_o if_o we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o may_v pray_v it_o be_v that_o which_o our_o necessity_n do_v so_o far_o enforce_v we_o to_o that_o it_o may_v seem_v enough_o to_o we_o to_o have_v liberty_n to_o pray_v but_o we_o see_v that_o as_o we_o can_v call_v christ_n lord_n without_o the_o spirit_n so_o we_o can_v call_v god_n father_n without_o the_o assistance_n thereof_o nor_o pray_v either_o for_o matter_n or_o manner_n as_o we_o ought_v without_o it_o wherefore_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o any_o wise_a consider_v man_n shall_v reduce_v the_o whole_a interest_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o prayer_n of_o christian_n to_o that_o extraordinary_a gift_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n whereby_o as_o they_o say_v those_o that_o

it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o now_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n but_o by_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v further_o concern_v in_o the_o prayer_n of_o christian_n and_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o spirit_n shall_v this_o way_n make_v intercession_n for_o we_o with_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v utter_v second_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o when_o ever_o

do_v not_o expect_v nor_o teach_v other_o to_o expect_v enthusiasm_n or_o immediate_a inspiration_n ordinary_o in_o prayer_n neither_o do_v we_o suppose_v that_o man_n shall_v attend_v so_o for_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o to_o forbear_v their_o prayer_n till_o they_o find_v themselves_o like_o holy_a man_n of_o old_a who_o be_v the_o pen_n man_n of_o the_o scripture_n move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n much_o less_o do_v we_o think_v that_o all_o extempore_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v call_v or_o conceive_a prayer_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n neither_o do_v we_o suppose_v that_o those_o that_o join_v with_o other_o in_o prayer_n do_v not_o pray_v by_o the_o holy-ghost_n for_o he_o assist_v as_o to_o the_o manner_n as_o well_o as_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o prayer_n neither_o do_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o spirit_n assist_v we_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o those_o prayer_n wherein_o we_o have_v his_o assistance_n shall_v be_v in_o every_o
