indeed_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o must_v help_v and_o teach_v we_o how_o and_o for_o what_o to_o pray_v and_o must_v quicken_v those_o grace_n in_o we_o which_o be_v

that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v you_o must_v never_o pray_v without_o watch_v unto_o it_o ans._n because_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n withal_o our_o heart_n

that_o we_o shall_v never_o set_v about_o the_o duty_n till_o first_o we_o feel_v the_o leading_n driveing_n motion_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o last_o though_o we_o shall_v never_o pray_v without_o watch_v unto_o it_o how_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o pray_v without_o a_o introversion_n these_o thing_n hang_v together_o like_o rope_n of_o sand_n what_o say_v he_o to_o the_o place_n of_o jude_n jude_n say_v he_o demonstrate_v that_o prayer_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v those_o whereby_o the_o saint_n be_v build_v up_o in_o their_o most_o

and_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o point_n say_v we_o that_o any_o can_v pray_v acceptable_o without_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o pray_v without_o the_o gracious_a and_o ordinary_a
