defence_n will_v be_v serviceable_a but_o we_o expect_v our_o great_a help_n and_o advantage_n as_o from_o our_o daily_a prayer_n so_o more_o especial_o from_o those_o solemn_a monthly_a day_n of_o

prayer_n who_o yet_o can_v pray_v prayer_n be_v a_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o second_o this_o spirit_n pour_v out_o in_o prayer_n must_v be_v a_o pure_a spirit_n if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n herein_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v my_o prayer_n and_o three_o this_o prayer_n must_v be_v a_o prayer_n of_o faith_n pray_v in_o faith_n and_o waver_v

quicken_v we_o up_o to_o the_o use_n of_o other_o mean_n and_o sanctify_v we_o in_o the_o use_n of_o other_o mean_n other_o mean_n be_v fruitless_a without_o prayer_n and_o prayer_n not_o second_v with_o the_o use_n of_o other_o mean_n where_o they_o may_v be_v have_v prevail_v not_o these_o thing_n you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o and_o therefore_o i_o only_o point_n at_o they_o especial_o
