the_o first_o adam_n be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o so_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n go_v over_o the_o sinful_a flesh_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o there_o be_v the_o

they_o and_o deliver_v they_o for_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o god_n they_o do_v his_o will_n and_o if_o any_o man_n do_v his_o will_n he_o he_o hear_v and_o then_o again_o they_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v miserable_a sinner_n and_o do_v those_o thing_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v and_o if_o so_o than_o not_o believer_n for_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o miserable_a

and_o set_v they_o free_a from_o their_o misery_n and_o they_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v well-pleasing_a in_o his_o sight_n for_o they_o that_o true_o believe_v in_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o

not_o to_o do_v but_o know_v his_o will_n and_o do_v it_o and_o be_v bless_v in_o their_o deed_n and_o again_o in_o that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o lord_n prayer_n they_o general_o say_v our_o

that_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o for_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o of_o blood_n and_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o god_n neither_o can_v true_o call_v

which_o all_o wickedness_n proceed_v and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o abomination_n unto_o god_n and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v many_o which_o may_v deny_v the_o common_a way_n of_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n and_o set_v up_o some_o other_o way_n of_o prayer_n as_o more_o excellent_a yet_o whilst_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o will_v of_o man_n conceive_v it_o and_o perform_v it_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o ground_n between_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v and_o that_o which_o they_o set_v up_o and_o practice_v neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o any_o more_o than_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v and_o though_o such_o prayer_n may_v not_o appear_v so_o formal_a as_o those_o that_o be_v common_o use_v in_o the_o

so_o many_o set-prayer_n in_o word_n and_o have_v prescribe_v a_o way_n to_o observe_v and_o practice_v the_o same_o and_o that_o none_o be_v either_o to_o add_v or_o diminish_v as_o to_o what_o be_v so_o compose_v even_o so_o the_o same_o wisdom_n may_v deny_v that_o prescribe_a way_n as_o be_v formal_a and_o may_v invent_v something_o instead_o of_o it_o in_o a_o high_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n and_o though_o they_o may_v not_o speak_v in_o such_o formal_a compose_a word_n yet_o in_o the_o same_o wisdom_n their_o word_n be_v formal_a not_o at_o all_o differ_v in_o the_o ground_n or_o

observation_n by_o way_n of_o prayer_n in_o what_o they_o practise_v which_o in_o itself_o be_v as_o formal_a as_o the_o set-prayer_n common_o use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n for_o they_o can_v set_v their_o own_o time_n both_o to_o begin_v and_o to_o make_v a_o end_n and_o when_o they_o will_v they_o can_v utter_v word_n and_o when_o they_o will_v they_o can_v be_v silent_a and_o they_o

other_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o be_v conceive_v and_o perform_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o true_a prayer_n neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o more_o than_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o differ_v in_o nothing_o but_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o however_o they_o may_v differ_v in_o the_o practice_n yet_o they_o meet_v in_o

of_o life_n which_o be_v manifest_a from_o god_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n do_v so_o enlighten_v he_o as_o to_o make_v he_o sensible_a that_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o in_o himself_o be_v
