the_o heart_n do_v so_o also_o within_o i_o like_v it_o well_o also_o that_o your_o praise_n be_v more_o frequent_a than_o your_o prayer_n prayer_n bend_v god_n but_o praise_n bind_v he_o prayer_n concern_v our_o own_o interest_n but_o praise_n aim_v principal_o at_o his_o glory_n and_o they_o who_o do_v true_o preform_v this_o part_n of_o piety_n may_v be_v say_v to_o discharge_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o angel_n upon_o earth_n god_n who_o be_v omniscious_a know_v all_o our_o want_n before_o hand_n and_o what_o be_v fit_v for_o we_o therefore_o to_o be_v too_o importunat_a and_o over-tedious_a in_o one_o prayer_n to_o eflagitate_v he_o with_o reiteration_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n discover_v a_o doubt_v and_o diffident_a heart_n therefore_o it_o more_o become_v a_o christian_n to_o be_v

gratitude_n which_o soon_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o christian_n shall_v not_o stand_v always_o knock_v and_o beg_v at_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n but_o endeavour_v to_o bestow_v some_o thing_n upon_o his_o creator_n
