the_o word_n of_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o serve_v will_v you_o then_o know_v whether_o you_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o no_o try_v your_o prayer_n by_o these_o particular_a evidence_n the_o first_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n be_v our_o adoption_n adoption_n or_o sonship_n wherein_o we_o be_v interre_v bastard_n and_o stranger_n yea_o mere_a servant_n can_v pray_v they_o learn_v not_o nay_o can_v learn_v the_o language_n of_o the_o house_n as_o child_n can_v do_v they_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n they_o may_v get_v some_o break_a language_n or_o term_n of_o art_n wherewithal_o to_o serve_v their_o necessity_n as_o for_o meat_n prefentment_n and_o esteem_n among_o god_n people_n yea_o for_o some_o word_n they_o may_v come_v to_o be_v admire_v but_o in_o the_o true_a pronounciation_n of_o shibole_v they_o be_v to_o seek_v and_o so_o they_o come_v short_a of_o that_o language_n but_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n be_v they_o never_o so_o weak_a yea_o but_o babe_n or_o infant_n in_o christ_n yet_o they_o can_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o their_o father_n true_o though_o not_o thorough_o nor_o eloquent_o all_o this_o the_o apostle_n prove_v in_o that_o phrase_n to_o the_o roman_n 15._o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n where_o observe_v first_o who_o cry_v namely_o son_n and_o they_o only_o second_o what_o they_o cry_v namely_o father_n which_o if_o they_o can_v speak_v true_o if_o with_o little_a child_n they_o can_v say_v little_o more_o yet_o they_o pray_v true_o speak_v the_o language_n of_o the_o spirit_n a_o second_o note_n that_o one_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n spirit_n be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n and_o endeavour_v to_o take_v the_o spirit_n along_o with_o they_o they_o will_v not_o go_v willing_o without_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n witness_v the_o same_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n make_v request_n for_o we_o where_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v say_v to_o make_v request_n for_o we_o after_o a_o other_o manner_n than_o the_o son_n be_v say_v to_o make_v request_n for_o we_o v_o 34._o namely_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o his_o merit_n but_o the_o spirit_n make_v request_n by_o stir_v we_o up_o and_o put_v we_o on_o to_o make_v request_n the_o spirit_n as_o one_o say_v by_o that_o anoint_v power_n teach_v and_o frame_v we_o to_o frame_v our_o petition_n in_o this_o we_o must_v be_v like_o moses_n 45._o if_o the_o lord_n presence_n go_v not_o with_o we_o let_v we_o not_o go_v from_o hence_o the_o best_a of_o hypocrite_n can_v be_v content_a to_o have_v a_o angel_n go_v before_o they_o give_v the_o angellicall_a stile_n come_v from_o lip_n touch_v with_o a_o coal_n of_o strange_a fire_n move_v by_o no_o internal_a principle_n except_o it_o be_v from_o some_o common_a gift_n at_o the_o best_a it_o be_v enough_o and_o in_o this_o they_o please_v themselves_o and_o gain_v admiration_n from_o other_o but_o their_o praise_n be_v but_o of_o man_n and_o not_o of_o god_n but_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o child_n of_o prayer_n they_o will_v not_o stir_v without_o the_o spirit_n of_o their_o father_n neither_o can_v they_o do_v it_o 26._o we_o know_v not_o say_v the_o apostle_n what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v we_o have_v neither_o thought_n to_o conceive_v nor_o will_v to_o consent_n nor_o be_v to_o perfect_v of_o ourselves_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v move_v or_o flutter_v upon_o the_o water_n for_o the_o incline_n of_o that_o vast_a body_n by_o a_o powerful_a and_o procreative_a heat_n so_o the_o heat_n of_o god_n spirit_n must_v either_o quicken_v we_o to_o the_o duty_n or_o we_o and_o it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o deed_n carcase_n or_o at_o the_o

this_o be_v a_o main_a cause_n why_o they_o seek_v and_o find_v not_o yea_o why_o they_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o spirit_n again_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v be_v without_o
