this_o great_a duty_n they_o pray_v amiss_o have_v not_o a_o sense_n of_o what_o they_o pray_v for_o i_o say_v true_a prayer_n be_v not_o only_a word_n the_o best_a of_o word_n for_o the_o essence_n and_o life_n of_o prayer_n be_v that_o divine_a sense_n which_o be_v receive_v through_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v this_o sort_n of_o prayer_n i_o recommend_v in_o this_o short_a discourse_n and_o if_o people_n will_v be_v serious_a and_o kind_a to_o themselves_o as_o to_o consider_v how_o little_o they_o receive_v of_o that_o they_o ask_v for_o and_o how_o much_o they_o be_v daily_o find_v in_o a_o contradiction_n to_o their_o own_o prayer_n they_o will_v easy_o see_v how_o much_o they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n of_o true_a prayer_n our_o lord_n command_v watch_n and_o pray_v therefore_o they_o that_o will_v pray_v aright_o must_v watch_v they_o that_o watch_n must_v wait_v and_o what_o must_v they_o wait_v for_o that_o god_n will_v please_v by_o his_o spirit_n to_o prepare_v their_o heart_n to_o worship_v he_o acceptable_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v prescribe_v form_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o the_o holy_a spirit_n beget_v sense_n of_o want_n so_o many_o time_n want_v beget_v word_n and_o such_o word_n have_v a_o spirit_n and_o life_n with_o they_o this_o be_v pray_v in_o the_o name_n
