blessing_n so_o general_o desire_v and_o prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n so_o necessary_a to_o be_v use_v oh_o let_v the_o charity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o commodity_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n invite_v you_o all_o to_o put_v in_o practice_n what_o the_o psalmist_n here_o so_o fervent_o press_v o_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n brief_o since_o jerusalem_n be_v maintain_v by_o peace_n and_o peace_n be_v obtain_v of_o god_n by_o prayer_n oh_o let_v we_o constant_o and_o conscionable_o use_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o come_v to_o the_o end_n and_z according_o let_v we_o all_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n of_o these_o three_o part_n in_o this_o order_n and_o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n the_o

i_o shall_v show_v that_o the_o psalmist_n here_o insinuate_v that_o if_o you_o will_v pray_v as_o you_o be_v here_o exhort_v than_o you_o must_v do_v it_o first_o generalitèr_fw-la second_o

and_o first_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o therein_o of_o the_o dignity_n of_o prayer_n which_o in_o 141_o psal_n be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o of_o incense_n let_v my_o prayer_n come_v before_o thou_o as_o incense_v and_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o my_o hand_n as_o a_o evening_n sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o incense_n be_v well_o please_v to_o god_n under_o the_o

golden_a censer_n and_o there_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o much_o incense_n that_o he_o shall_v offer_v it_o with_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o saint_n upon_o the_o golden_a altar_n which_o be_v before_o the_o throne_n mark_v how_o for_o the_o sweet_a incense_n of_o prayer_n there_o be_v provide_v a_o golden_a censer_n and_o a_o golden_a altar_n and_o a_o angel_n to_o offer_v it_o what_o great_a
