prayer_n when_o the_o soul_n speak_v to_o god_n inward_o without_o speak_v of_o any_o word_n or_o move_v of_o the_o lip_n this_o be_v true_a prayer_n and_o before_o all_o other_o most_o acceptable_a to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n of_o which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v thus_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o those_o that_o worship_v he_o 4._o john_n 4._o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n second_o vocal_a prayer_n be_v that_o when_o the_o word_n of_o prayer_n be_v conceive_v &_o utter_v with_o the_o mouth_n where_o yet_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o heart_n first_o that_o the_o word_n which_o be_v recite_v aught_o to_o be_v revolue_v &_o ponder_v in_o the_o mind_n for_o if_o any_o with_o the_o tongue_n only_o pray_v without_o any_o attention_n or_o consideration_n not_o labour_v to_o anoide_v all_o distraction_n and_o wander_n of_o the_o mind_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v to_o pray_v vocal_o but_o contrary_o cast_v himself_o into_o a_o grievous_a sin_n with_o which_o the_o prophet_n upbraid_v his_o people_n this_o people_n honour_v i_o with_o their_o lip_n 29._o esay_n 29._o but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o i_o ergo_fw-la this_o kind_n of_o prayer_n be_v not_o therefore_o call_v vocal_a because_o only_o utter_v by_o the_o mouth_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o mental_a which_o be_v only_o make_v in_o the_o mind_n the_o vocal_a also_o add_v to_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o mind_n word_n beside_o three_o the_o mix_a kind_n of_o prayer_n compose_v of_o both_o these_o kind_n be_v when_o he_o that_o pray_v do_v partly_o with_o heart_n and_o partly_o with_o his_o tongue_n pray_v unto_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v a_o mix_a prayer_n when_o any_o shall_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n conceive_v revolve_v with_o himself_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o speak_v for_o that_o be_v vocal_a prayer_n but_o that_o be_v a_o mix_a prayer_n when_o after_o the_o prayer_n conceive_v only_o in_o spirit_n and_o mind_n he_o that_o pray_v do_v join_v unto_o it_o a_o vocal_a prayer_n of_o the_o mouth_n 3_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o we_o discourse_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v in_o prayer_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v aright_o where_o as_o we_o shall_v find_v diverse_a thing_n that_o may_v provoke_v that_o duty_n so_o shall_v we_o meet_v with_o many_o encumbrance_n and_o let_n and_o therefore_o our_o industry_n must_v be_v to_o gain_v the_o one_o and_o shun_v the_o other_o with_o might_n and_o main_a but_o because_o i_o have_v in_o the_o former_a tract_n of_o meditation_n speak_v both_o of_o these_o help_n and_o impediment_n i_o will_v only_o here_o name_v they_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o that_o
