all_o these_o soften_v and_o mollitie_v our_o stonie-heart_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n by_o unfeigned_a prayer_n and_o sound_a repentance_n and_o never_o let_v he_o go_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o wrestle_v with_o he_o he_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v till_o he_o have_v bless_v he_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o gen._n 32.26_o belove_a friend_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o think_v that_o those_o on_o who_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v fall_v by_o these_o accident_n be_v great_a sinner_n than_o we_o for_o remember_v what_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 23_o chap._n of_o

when_o jonah_n proclaim_v yet_o forty_o day_n and_o niniveh_n shall_v be_v destroy_v yet_o by_o prayer_n &_o fast_v the_o lord_n repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_a he_o pretend_v and_o he_o do_v it_o

city_n of_o london_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n in_o this_o our_o nation_n by_o his_o scourge_n of_o pestilence_n but_o yet_o by_o their_o earnest_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o almighty_a

all_o true_a christian_n whatsoever_o whether_o they_o be_v rich_a or_o poor_a old_a or_o young_a to_o arm_v themselves_o by_o prayer_n and_o repentance_n against_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o may_v not_o run_v headlong_o to_o ruin_n and_o despair_n as_o many_o of_o late_o have_v do_v since_o this_o year_n begin_v and_o make_v away_o themselves_o to_o the_o great_a grief_n of_o their_o friend_n likewise_o arm_n yourselves_o by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o almighty_a god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o you_o need_v not_o

when_o be_v it_o less_o use_v than_o now_o some_o hold_v it_o superstition_n to_o use_v the_o form_n of_o prayer_n but_o let_v they_o poor_a soul_n that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n
