that_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o any_o grief_n or_o affliction_n we_o go_v strait_n unto_o he_o 9_o and_o unburden_v our_o heart_n there_o as_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n now_o we_o see_v how_o we_o must_v make_v our_o advantage_n of_o god_n word_n whereby_o we_o be_v certify_v that_o he_o will_v never_o fail_v we_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n by_o seek_v the_o thing_n in_o he_o which_o he_o protest_v that_o we_o shall_v find_v there_o and_o so_o prayer_n be_v as_o it_o be_v key_n whereby_o too_o come_v too_o the_o treasure_n that_o god_n reserve_v for_o we_o and_o which_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v from_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v open_v the_o way_n too_o they_o by_o pray_v and_o yet_o saint_n paul_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o say_v that_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v match_v with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n too_o our_o god_n but_o he_o say_v also_o yea_o all_o prayer_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o in_o all_o matter_n in_o all_o thing_n both_o great_a and_o small_a in_o all_o our_o do_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v that_o must_v be_v our_o sheet-anchor_n for_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o we_o will_v call_v upon_o god_n only_o when_o we_o think_v on_o he_o or_o else_o when_o we_o have_v some_o matter_n of_o importance_n in_o hand_n but_o saint_n paul_n as_o i_o say_v will_v have_v we_o too_o do_v god_n that_o homage_n every_o where_o and_o at_o all_o time_n protest_v that_o we_o can_v have_v any_o good_a but_o at_o his_o hand_n and_o of_o his_o mere_a free_a gift_n so_o much_o import_v the_o word_n all._n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n take_v charge_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n with_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v seek_v too_o he_o even_o for_o the_o bace_a thing_n and_o for_o such_o as_o we_o dare_v not_o require_v of_o our_o friend_n that_o be_v our_o equal_a and_o companion_n even_o those_o thing_n will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o ask_v of_o he_o for_o under_o this_o say_n that_o he_o give_v we_o our_o daily_a bread_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o comprehend_v all_o that_o belong_v too_o our_o life_n alas_o what_o a_o number_n of_o small_a thing_n have_v we_o need_v of_o which_o we_o will_v be_v ashamed_a too_o be_v acknow_v of_o even_o too_o our_o inferior_n and_o god_n abace_v himself_o so_o far_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v too_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o person_n which_o be_v but_o wretched_a and_o rot_a carrion_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o stick_v too_o ask_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v expedient_a and_o needful_a for_o we_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o this_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n which_o will_v we_o too_o pray_v too_o our_o god_n for_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o deed_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v yield_v so_o far_o unto_o we_o as_o nothing_o shall_v as_o you_o will_v say_v escape_v his_o hand_n and_o he_o say_v express_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o spirit_n whereas_o he_o say_v in_o spirit_n it_o be_v sure_o too_o exclude_v all_o hypocrisy_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n babble_v enough_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v unto_o god_n howbeit_o it_o be_v but_o their_o lip_n or_o the_o tip_n of_o their_o tongue_n that_o do_v their_o duty_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n that_o god_n will_v be_v pray_v unto_o and_o call_v upon_o he_o like_v not_o of_o such_o supplication_n but_o rather_o abhor_v they_o because_o that_o when_o we_o pray_v so_o fond_o unto_o he_o we_o make_v a_o false_a shroud_a sheet_n of_o he_o and_o that_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o treachery_n for_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n for_o our_o babble_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n our_o heart_n be_v dead_a and_o our_o prayer_n proceed_v not_o of_o a_o right_a dispozed_a and_o earnest_a mind_n we_o make_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n or_o as_o a_o little_a babe_n wherein_o we_o do_v too_o great_a wrong_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o
do_v but_o transfigure_v he_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n therefore_o it_o behove_v our_o prayer_n not_o only_o to_o be_v make_v with_o our_o mouth_n but_o also_o too_o come_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v not_o that_o of_o our_o own_o power_n the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o work_v therein_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o word_n spirit_n may_v be_v understand_v that_o we_o shall_v beseech_v god_n to_o govern_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o he_o touch_v we_o thorough_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v pray_v to_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o do_v and_o he_o also_o accept_v our_o prayer_n acknowledge_n in_o they_o the_o mark_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o we_o must_v always_o remember_v how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o roman_n 26._o that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o too_o pray_v for_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o surmount_v all_o our_o understanding_n and_o the_o able_a of_o we_o all_o fail_v in_o that_o behalf_n notwithstanding_o that_o there_o be_v a_o number_n which_o bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o they_o know_v perfect_o how_o and_o what_o too_o pray_v unto_o god_n howbeit_o all_o such_o opinion_n do_v but_o shut_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gate_n unless_o that_o upon_o the_o know_n of_o our_o default_n and_o infirmity_n we_o resort_v ryghtfoorth_o too_o the_o remedy_n 26._o according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n drive_v we_o to_o unutterable_a groan_n which_o can_v be_v express_v without_o the_o which_o we_o can_v not_o utter_v so_o much_o as_o this_o word_n father_n 6._o according_a also_o as_o he_o say_v too_o the_o galatian_n that_o when_o the_o spirit_n cry_v in_o we_o we_o can_v open_v our_o mouth_n too_o call_v free_o upon_o god_n 15._o as_o be_v rehearse_v in_o another_o place_n now_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v thorough_o dispose_v too_o pray_v unto_o god_n except_o he_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n moreover_o saint_n paul_n intent_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o be_v too_o exclude_v all_o counterfeit_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o hope_v too_o justify_v our_o case_n before_o god_n by_o ceremony_n or_o by_o popeholines_n as_o they_o term_v it_o in_o make_v of_o long_a prayer_n and_o many_o circumstance_n but_o suffer_v the_o spirit_n too_o bear_v sway_n wherefore_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o be_v so_o touch_v as_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v our_o master_n and_o teacher_n and_o endite_v the_o thing_n too_o we_o which_o we_o have_v too_o utter_a in_o call_v upon_o our_o god_n and_o second_o let_v our_o prayer_n proceed_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o heart_n &_o let_v we_o put_v this_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n in_o ure_n 18._o that_o we_o must_v sue_v unto_o our_o god_n in_o truth_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o near_o too_o any_o but_o too_o such_o as_o have_v that_o quality_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n be_v such_o exposition_n set_v down_o for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o we_o be_v so_o much_o incline_v too_o shift_v that_o too_o our_o seem_n god_n ought_v too_o yield_v too_o we_o and_o too_o our_o nature_n but_o it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a now_o then_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n perceive_v that_o man_n abuse_v his_o name_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o make_v prayer_n after_o their_o own_o manner_n that_o be_v too_o say_v prayer_n that_o be_v wrap_v in_o hypocrisy_n and_o untruth_n and_o have_v no_o substancialnesse_n nor_o soundness_n in_o they_o he_o say_v express_o that_o we_o must_v not_o hope_v too_o be_v hear_v at_o his_o hand_n nor_o too_o obtain_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o except_o our_o prayer_n be_v rule_v by_o a_o right_a meaning_n that_o be_v too_o say_v unless_o we_o pray_v with_o a_o hearty_a affection_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o that_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o that_o whereas_o he_o say_v steadfast_o and_o with_o hold_v out_o throughout_o too_o the_o end_n it_o be_v too_o express_v the_o better_a that_o it_o be_v never_o out_o of_o season_n too_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o even_o therefore_o be_v this_o add_v because_o we_o will_v fain_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o our_o god_n wherein_o a_o man_n may_v well_o perceive_v how_o unperfect_a our_o mind_n be_v and_o how_o destitute_a of_o wit_n and_o reason_n we_o be_v for_o all_o our_o welfare_n consist_v in_o have_v access_n too_o our_o god_n that_o we_o seek_v help_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o too_o be_v short_a in_o be_v near_o unto_o he_o so_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o regard_v we_o and_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o welfare_n and_o beside_o that_o who_o be_v he_o that_o will_v not_o fain_o be_v hear_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o we_o shall_v pray_v unto_o god_n it_o seem_v that_o we_o be_v hale_v to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v by_o force_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v ravish_v in_o love_n with_o it_o as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o now_o then_o this_o vice_n of_o recklessness_n and_o coldness_n in_o that_o we_o never_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o when_o we_o be_v compel_v or_o constrain_v have_v need_n to_o be_v correct_v saint_n paul_n therefore_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o tarry_v till_o utter_v necessity_n enforce_v we_o but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o time_n be_v seasonable_a and_o convenient_a too_o resort_v unto_o god_n iu_n deed_n after_o as_o we_o be_v pick_v forward_o so_o must_v we_o run_v the_o swiftly_o according_a as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v spurt_v by_o the_o affliction_n and_o manifold_a trouble_n that_o god_n send_v we_o and_o like_a as_o if_o a_o ass_n will_v not_o go_v he_o must_v have_v a_o good_a cudgel_n lay_v upon_o his_o back_n even_o so_o god_n perceyvig_v that_o we_o come_v not_o too_o he_o with_o a_o good_a will_n be_v fain_o too_o draw_v we_o too_o he_o as_o it_o be_v by_o violence_n but_o yet_o must_v every_o man_n cheer_v up_o himself_o though_o no_o urgent_a necessity_n compel_v he_o too_o be_v short_a we_o must_v pray_v unto_o our_o god_n both_o in_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o in_o time_n of_o adversity_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o these_o word_n at_o all_o time_n and_o thereupon_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v

so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o pray_v unto_o god_n by_o start_n and_o braid_n as_o they_o say_v but_o we_o must_v continue_v in_o it_o and_o that_o two_o way_n for_o first_o

be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v importunate_a 1._o according_a too_o the_o similitude_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o widow_n which_o have_v too_o do_v with_o a_o judge_n that_o

for_o they_o that_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o fall_n to_o stomack_v chafe_a and_o impatiency_n if_o he_o relieve_v they_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n do_v not_o pray_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o you_o will_v

for_o our_o offence_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n too_o the_o end_n that_o satan_n may_v not_o overcome_v we_o as_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v have_v matter_n enough_o in_o

say_v i_o that_o we_o be_v resolve_v hereof_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v too_o blockish_a if_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v yet_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o set_v on_o fire_n with_o this_o carefulness_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o therewithal_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o howbeit_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o express_o of_o the_o saint_n or_o faithful_a but_o yet_o be_v that_o no_o impediment_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o pray_v general_o for_o all_o man_n for_o the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n and_o the_o ignorant_a sort_n have_v great_a need_n too_o be_v sew_v for_o unto_o god_n for_o behold_v they_o be_v in_o the_o high_a way_n too_o destruction_n if_o we_o see_v a_o beast_n at_o the_o point_n to_o perish_v we_o will_v have_v pity_n of_o it_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o we_o see_v a_o soul_n in_o peril_n which_o be_v so_o precious_a before_o god_n as_o he_o have_v show_v in_o that_o he_o have_v ransom_v they_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o

so_o then_o saint_n paul_n meaning_n in_o this_o text_n be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v let_v the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n alone_o without_o care_n of_o they_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v

the_o poor_a servant_n of_o god_n which_o employ_v themselves_o in_o his_o service_n be_v trouble_v and_o vex_v by_o all_o mean_n then_o if_o we_o gather_v together_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o
