this_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o judge_v wise_o of_o the_o poor_a child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o contempt_n and_o tribulation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o love_o to_o embrace_v they_o as_o member_n

to_o have_v our_o sense_n and_o thought_n settle_v in_o god_n providence_n and_o not_o carry_v away_o to_o worldly_a devise_n and_o desperate_a attempt_n second_o god_n have_v thus_o prepare_v &_o settle_v their_o heart_n for_o prayer_n he_o do_v also_o prepare_v &_o settle_v himself_o to_o hear_v their_o prayer_n yea_o because_o their_o prayer_n be_v but_o weak_a and_o feeble_a that_o scarce_o have_v any_o perfect_a voice_n but_o make_v a_o soft_a and_o still_a noise_n in_o the_o secret_a corner_n of_o their_o heart_n the_o lord_n do_v bend_v his_o ear_n unto_o they_o and_o lay_v it_o

of_o itself_o do_v breed_v rather_o impatience_n and_o despair_n than_o any_o comfortable_a hope_n and_o heart_n to_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v admonish_v when_o in_o any_o kind_n
