the_o church_n may_v be_v still_o toss_v and_o tumble_v but_o because_o christ_n be_v in_o it_o it_o can_v never_o perish_v the_o roman_n lose_v many_o a_o battle_n and_o yet_o be_v conqueror_n in_o all_o their_o war_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o have_v and_o may_v loose_v many_o a_o battle_n but_o in_o the_o conclusion_n the_o church_n will_v conquer_v unless_o man_n can_v wrestle_v with_o god_n and_o beat_v he_o out_o of_o heaven_n they_o shall_v never_o overcome_v his_o church_n or_o his_o truth-upon_a earth_n now_o he_o be_v a_o mad_a man_n that_o will_v side_n

prayer_n to_o invite_v we_o to_o it_o it_o be_v almost_o the_o only_a thing_n leave_v that_o we_o can_v do_v for_o they_o when_o we_o see_v they_o in_o compass_v round_o about_o with_o danger_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v a_o escape_n let_v we_o do_v as_o dedalus_n that_o when_o he_o can_v not_o escape_v by_o a_o way_n upon_o earth_n go_v by_o a_o way_n of_o heaven_n let_v we_o go_v by_o the_o way_n of_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v by_o prayer_n that_o be_v the_o only_a way_n that_o be_v leave_v and_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o thing_n and_o of_o so_o little_a cost_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v stick_v at_o it_o to_o give_v a_o subsidy_n of_o prayer_n and_o sigh_n this_o way_n yea_o every_o man_n shall_v do_v this_o in_o his_o private_a closet_n and_o family_n pray_v that_o god_n will_v look_v upon_o his_o church_n to_o restore_v peace_n where_o it_o be_v not_o and_o to_o establish_v it_o where_o it_o be_v this_o be_v of_o so_o easy_a a_o cost_n methinks_a no_o man_n shall_v stick_v at_o it_o as_o a_o story_n have_v it_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o book_n of_o the_o sibyl_n bring_v by_o a_o man_n to_o a_o king_n of_o the_o roman_n and_o he_o proffer_v they_o to_o the_o king_n at_o such_o a_o rate_n at_o a_o very_a great_a price_n and_o the_o king_n will_v not_o give_v it_o then_o the_o man_n burn_v the_o one_o half_a of_o his_o book_n and_o ask_v double_a the_o price_n that_o he_o do_v for_o the_o whole_a the_o king_n refuse_v again_o and_o he_o do_v the_o like_a with_o half_a of_o they_o and_o double_v the_o price_n of_o all_o again_o and_o then_o the_o king_n consider_v the_o value_n of_o they_o give_v he_o the_o price_n i_o be_o afraid_a if_o we_o forbear_v to_o bid_v prayer_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o time_n may_v come_v
