discourse_v in_o the_o treatise_n which_o i_o now_o begin_v be_v the_o duty_n of_o ejaculatory_a prayer_n a_o great_a and_o concern_v duty_n i_o shall_v lay_v for_o a_o foundation_n of_o my_o

of_o ejaculatory_a prayer_n and_o therefore_o do_v either_o whole_o or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n neglect_v it_o 1._o some_o be_v so_o far_o from_o pray_v with_o ejaculatory_a prayer_n that_o they_o

ejaculatory_a prayer_n now_o what_o do_v this_o argue_v but_o first_o abundance_n of_o atheism_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o whatsoever_o they_o profess_v yet_o they_o have_v not_o a_o real_a sense_n

do_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o at_o all_o see_v psal_n 14._o 1._o 4._o where_o this_o be_v allege_v as_o the_o reason_n of_o not_o pray_v to_o god_n the_o foal_n have_v say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o

not_o upon_o the_o lord_n it_o argue_v than_o you_o see_v abundance_n of_o atheism_n in_o the_o heart_n second_o abundance_n of_o enmity_n if_o it_o do_v not_o argue_v atheism_n but_o there_o be_v some_o conviction_n of_o a_o deity_n yet_o it_o argue_v enmity_n abundance_n of_o enmity_n in_o the_o heart_n against_o god_n as_o what_o great_a sign_n of_o enmity_n can_v there_o be_v than_o for_o a_o person_n though_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o a_o one_o help_v never_o so_o much_o yet_o to_o choose_v rather_o to_o have_v no_o help_n at_o all_o than_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o for_o it_o this_o make_v the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n wonder_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o jew_n will_v ask_v of_o she_o that_o be_v a_o samaritan_n because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o enmity_n betwixt_o the_o

they_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o enemy_n to_o they_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o will_v rather_o seek_v to_o any_o than_o to_o he_o you_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o say_v
