concern_v prayer_n that_o you_o can_v pray_v what_o can_v you_o not_o pray_v at_o all_o can_v you_o never_o pray_v yes_o you_o thank_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n you_o can_v pray_v sometime_o but_o neither_o so_o often_o nor_o so_o zealous_o as_o you_o desire_v and_o as_o your_o need_n enforce_v you_o sometime_o you_o pray_v prayer_n cold_a prayer_n better_o than_o no_o prayer_n but_o very_o coldlie_o and_o with_o very_o little_a or_o no_o feel_n sometime_o you_o pray_v more_o earnest_o and_o for_o all_o that_o you_o find_v small_a comfort_n and_o sometime_o though_o you_o do_v what_o you_o can_v you_o can_v not_o pray_v for_o your_o life_n this_o be_v as_o i_o know_v by_o some_o woeful_a experience_n a_o very_a just_a and_o true_a complaint_n yet_o i_o remember_v when_o i_o demand_v whether_o you_o can_v pray_v at_o any_o time_n you_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o you_o can_v pray_v sometime_o and_o i_o be_o persuade_v with_o good_a feel_n and_o sweet_a comfort_n to_o your_o soul_n whereupon_o i_o prove_v once_o again_o to_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o have_v a_o true_a faith_n unto_o salvation_n because_o prayer_n be_v a_o undoubted_a and_o plain_a fruit_n of_o a_o
