of_o the_o thing_n which_o it_o do_v signify_v and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o stumble_v at_o this_o more_o than_o the_o rest_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o sign_n have_v the_o name_n of_o the_o

a_o whole_a sermon_n the_o hearer_n can_v pick_v out_o one_o note_n more_o than_o he_o can_v gather_v himself_o and_o many_o loathe_v preach_v as_o the_o jew_n abhor_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o

out_o of_o it_o what_o a_o shame_n be_v this_o that_o the_o preacher_n shall_v make_v preach_v be_v despise_v in_o the_o 48._o of_o jeremiah_n there_o be_v a_o curse_n upon_o they_o which_o do_v the_o

more_o needful_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o want_v continual_o and_o we_o be_v tempt_v continual_o and_o we_o sin_n continual_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n continual_o that_o god_n will_v supply_v our_o want_n and_o forgive_v our_o sin_n and_o prevent_v our_o temptation_n to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v pray_v daily_a christ_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o

continual_o need_v of_o god_n shall_v pray_v continual_o unto_o he_o but_o as_o some_o answer_v christ_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o saint_n johns_n gospel_n who_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o so_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o who_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v continual_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o twelve_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n teach_v we_o a_o reasonable_a service_n of_o god_n here_o he_o seem_v to_o enjoin_v we_o a_o unreasonable_a service_n of_o god_n for_o who_o do_v ever_o pray_v continual_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v pray_v continual_o when_o shall_v we_o hear_v or_o preach_v or_o when_o shall_v we_o study_v or_o when_o shall_v we_o work_v so_o one_o service_n seem_v to_o hinder_v all_o service_n but_o indeed_o it_o do_v further_o all_o service_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v continual_o because_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o prayer_n but_o if_o you_o imagine_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v break_v if_o your_o lip_n be_v not_o always_o go_v which_o be_v the_o heresy_n of_o the_o messaliant_a or_o if_o you_o dwell_v not_o always_o in_o the_o church_n like_o the_o golden_a candlestick_n than_o you_o be_v out_o of_o paul_n mind_n for_o paul_n do_v not_o pray_v continual_o with_o his_o lip_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o lip-prayer_n neither_o do_v paul_n live_v day_n and_o night_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o church-prayer_n and_o further_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o appoint_v to_o pray_v at_o all_o time_n for_o they_o have_v set_v time_n of_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v how_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o pray_v continual_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n continual_o unto_o god_n 4._o &_o to_o pray_v in_o our_o thought_n as_o moses_n do_v though_o we_o open_v not_o our_o lip_n and_o so_o we_o may_v pray_v continual_o as_o when_o a_o good_a man_n be_v to_o answer_v before_o the_o
