write_v this_o little_a book_n two_o especial_a cause_n move_v i_o thereunto_o the_o first_o &_o principal_a cause_n be_v to_o discharge_v my_o duty_n towards_o almighty_a god_n of_o who_o i_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v receive_v every_o good_a gift_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v as_o near_o as_o he_o will_v give_v i_o grace_n for_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v every_o good_a gift_n and_o every_o perfect_a gift_n come_v from_o above_o the_o lord_n make_v we_o thankful_a for_o they_o for_o when_o we_o have_v do_v whatsoever_o we_o can_v of_o ourselves_o which_o be_v nothing_o yea_o when_o we_o

much_o as_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a cause_n that_o move_v i_o to_o the_o write_n of_o this_o little_a treatise_n then_o when_o i_o have_v finish_v this_o small_a piece_n of_o work_n be_v undetermine_v who_o i_o may_v make_v my_o patron_n at_o length_n it_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n to_o present_v the_o same_o unto_o your_o worship_n view_n as_o to_o one_o of_o who_o among_o man_n i_o have_v receive_v the_o great_a benefit_n therefore_o the_o second_o cause_n that_o move_v i_o to_o the_o write_n of_o this_o little_a volume_n be_v somewhat_o to_o gratify_v your_o worship_n goodwill_n which_o have_v at_o all_o time_n be_v so_o great_a towards_o i_o but_o peradventure_o your_o worship_n may_v think_v it_o a_o great_a presumption_n in_o i_o to_o present_v such_o a_o rude_a piece_n of_o work_n to_o you_o but_o i_o crave_v pardon_n for_o my_o boldness_n and_o i_o trust_v that_o your_o worship_n will_v accept_v it_o according_a to_o my_o good_a meaning_n and_o i_o hope_v in_o the_o almighty_a lord_n that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o furnish_v with_o ciceronical_a eloquence_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o it_o such_o matter_n as_o shall_v tend_v both_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o health_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v my_o great_a desire_n thus_o be_v loath_a to_o use_v superfluity_n of_o word_n i_o end_v desire_v almighty_a god_n to_o prosper_v your_o worship_n in_o all_o your_o affair_n that_o you_o may_v so_o walk_v before_o he_o in_o this_o vale_n of_o misery_n that_o when_o this_o our_o sinful_a course_n be_v end_v you_o and_o we_o may_v all_o reign_v together_o with_o he_o in_o that_o place_n which_o he_o in_o mercy_n have_v prepare_v for_o all_o his_o elect_a child_n to_o the_o which_o place_n bring_v we_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n amen_n your_o worship_n most_o humble_a to_o command_v ralph_n allin_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o christian_a reader_n r._n a._n wish_v the_o direction_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n thou_o have_v here_o good_a christian_a reader_n the_o first_o fruit_n of_o a_o barren_a field_n which_o although_o it_o be_v not_o replenish_v with_o pleasant_a herb_n delightful_a to_o the_o fleshly_a fancy_n of_o thy_o mind_n yet_o if_o thou_o put_v away_o from_o thou_o the_o delight_n of_o this_o world_n and_o put_v on_o christ_n jesus_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n they_o shall_v be_v pleasant_a to_o thy_o spiritual_a appetite_n and_o herein_o i_o desire_v thou_o not_o to_o be_v rash_a in_o condemn_v without_o consideration_n but_o rather_o if_o thou_o see_v a_o fault_n by_o any_o mean_n to_o be_v escape_v i_o earnest_o desire_v thou_o to_o correct_v it_o that_o if_o hereafter_o occasion_n do_v serve_v i_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o like_a again_o see_v thy_o good_a will_n towards_o i_o i_o may_v be_v embolden_v the_o more_o to_o persevere_v in_o the_o like_a enterprise_n and_o because_o that_o prayer_n if_o it_o come_v from_o a_o hart_n and_o mind_n that_o be_v stir_v unto_o godliness_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o almighty_a god_n i_o think_v it_o good_a therefore_o to_o write_v this_o small_a manuel_n of_o prayer_n entitle_v the_o haven_n of_o hope_n which_o although_o the_o volume_n be_v but_o small_a yet_o if_o thou_o well_o peruse_v and_o mark_v the_o same_o i_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thou_o shall_v find_v such_o matter_n in_o it_o as_o if_o thou_o pray_v by_o faith_n shall_v no_o doubt_n bring_v consolation_n both_o to_o thy_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o if_o i_o do_v find_v or_o can_v any_o way_n learn_v that_o this_o little_a treatise_n do_v bring_v any_o comfort_n unto_o thy_o soul_n i_o do_v mean_a as_o god_n shall_v make_v i_o able_a in_o time_n to_o augment_v the_o same_o thus_o be_v very_o loath_a to_o trouble_v thou_o with_o many_o word_n and_o little_a matter_n i_o leave_v thou_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o almighty_a god_n unto_o who_o i_o pray_v that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o guide_v thou_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o thereby_o thou_o may_v do_v whatsoever_o shall_v be_v pleasant_a in_o his_o sight_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n through_o our_o only_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v all_o honour_n praise_n glory_n dominion_n and_o thanks_o give_v now_o and_o evermore_o so_o be_v it_o thou_o in_o the_o lord_n r._n a._n a_o introduction_n to_o prayer_n before_o thou_o begin_v to_o pray_v good_a christian_n reader_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n of_o thou_o principal_o to_o be_v note_v which_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v 1_o the_o first_o be_v to_o bewail_v thy_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o they_o promise_v never_o to_o commit_v the_o like_a again_o for_o at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n do_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o hart_n i_o will_v put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o my_o remembrance_n say_v the_o lord_n 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o must_v be_v persuade_v in_o thy_o faith_n and_o conscience_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v hear_v &_o regard_v whatsoever_o thou_o do_v pray_v for_o or_o else_o thy_o prayer_n be_v make_v altogether_o in_o vain_a for_o whatsoever_o proceed_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n 3_o and_o the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o must_v go_v with_o a_o upright_o &_o a_o clear_a conscience_n before_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n not_o bear_v malice_n or_o envy_n to_o any_o thy_o brethren_n or_o sister_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v how_o can_v thou_o love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n who_o thou_o have_v not_o see_v when_o thou_o hate_v thy_o brother_n who_o thou_o see_v daily_a thus_o good_a reader_n if_o thou_o do_v diligent_o mark_v and_o consider_v these_o three_o point_n and_o follow_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v hear_v what_o soever_o thou_o praie_v and_o also_o grant_v thou_o thy_o request_n for_o how_o can_v thou_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o direct_v thou_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o thou_o do_v not_o bewail_v and_o lament_v for_o thy_o offence_n which_o be_v pass_v and_o how_o do_v thou_o think_v to_o obtain_v thy_o request_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n when_o thou_o do_v not_o pray_v by_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o clear_a conscience_n and_o how_o can_v thou_o pray_v with_o a_o clear_a conscience_n when_o thou_o bear_v malice_n and_o envy_n to_o thy_o brethren_n or_o sister_n which_o be_v all_o member_n of_o one_o mystical_a body_n with_o thou_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n
