therefore_o press_n aye_o to_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o empty_a wind_n by_o the_o contrary_a if_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n find_v in_o no_o measure_n no_o

if_o thou_o be_v a_o slave_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o power_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o prayer_n be_v the_o proper_a note_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o except_o the_o spirit_n of_o

object_v we_o have_v ask_v but_o we_o have_v not_o be_v answer_v he_o answer_v to_o this_o hitherto_o you_o have_v seek_v nothing_o at_o the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n but_o in_o time_n come_v ask_v bold_o and_o look_v for_o a_o answeee_o and_o you_o shall_v get_v grace_n heap_v upon_o grace_n till_o your_o grace_n be_v perfect_a and_o the_o great_a grace_n thou_o ask_v the_o great_a thou_o get_v and_o the_o more_o thou_o get_v the_o great_a be_v thy_o joy_n that_o thou_o have_v when_o thou_o perceive_v that_o grace_n and_o thou_o who_o have_v get_v it_o will_v not_o give_v it_o for_o all_o

up_o his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v no_o no_o we_o have_v so_o great_a need_n to_o pray_v that_o except_o we_o pray_v we_o get_v nothing_o a_o beggar_n who_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o he_o beg_v if_o he_o leave_v off_o his_o beg_n he_o shall_v die_v at_o dike_a side_n if_o thou_o leave_v off_o thy_o spiritual_a beg_n yea_o though_o thou_o be_v a_o king_n and_o have_v all_o the_o world_n thou_o shall_v die_v for_o ever_o for_o what_o be_v a_o king_n in_o this_o life_n but_o a_o beggar_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o he_o if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o beggar_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n
