prince_n as_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v so_o much_o more_o sinful_a irreverence_n it_o be_v to_o speak_v with_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n in_o huddle_v out_o so_o fast_o our_o word_n

prayer_n true_a faith_n be_v first_o suppose_v without_o which_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n heb._n 11._o the_o next_o necessary_a condition_n and_o require_v also_o by_o saint_n paul_n be_v charity_n without_o which_o even_o faith_n itself_o he_o say_v will_v nothing_o avail_v he_o cor._n 13._o and_o for_o want_v of_o which_o virtue_n both_o the_o prayer_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o wicked_a cain_n be_v utter_o reject_v because_o he_o make_v his_o offering_n with_o a_o hart_n full_a of_o rancour_n &_o envy_n against_o abel_n his_o innocent_a brother_n and_o therefore_o if_o go_v to_o make_v our_o prayer_n and_o oblation_n unto_o god_n we_o find_v in_o our_o hart_n any_o grudge_n or_o breach_n of_o charity_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n our_o saviour_n himself_o express_o command_v we_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o offering_n and_o have_v first_o make_v our_o peace_n and_o reconcilement_n then_o to_o bring_v our_o offering_n and_o not_o before_o math_n 5._o the_o second_o interior_a condition_n be_v by_o purity_n of_o intention_n to_o seek_v the_o true_a end_n of_o prayer_n without_o which_o it_o will_v be_v vain_a and_o fruitless_a now_o the_o true_a and_o pure_a end_n of_o all_o good_a prayer_n be_v humble_o to_o crave_v thereby_o a_o light_n from_o god_n to_o understand_v his_o holy_a will_n and_o grace_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o as_o also_o increase_v in_o his_o love_n and_o advancement_n in_o virtue_n a_o true_a conformity_n to_o his_o bless_a will_n with_o a_o real_a contempt_n and_o abnegation_n of_o ourself_n not_o seek_v our_o own_o sensible_a gust_n or_o spiritual_a consolation_n but_o renounce_v all_o curiosity_n of_o spirit_n and_o self_n love_n to_o seek_v only_o and_o pure_o god_n glory_n and_o not_o our_o own_o satisfaction_n by_o prayer_n for_o in_o that_o we_o seek_v not_o god_n so_o much_o as_o ourselves_o and_o our_o own_o interest_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o we_o find_v he_o not_o a_o three_o condition_n yet_o require_v for_o holy_a prayer_n be_v the_o virtue_n of_o mortification_n for_o such_o be_v the_o great_a connexion_n of_o these_o two_o virtue_n as_o the_o one_o be_v never_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o eminentdegree_n or_o perfection_n without_o the_o other_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v clear_a for_o if_o the_o hart_n be_v possess_v with_o vain_a or_o sensual_a delight_n it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o true_a spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a content_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o find_v so_o few_o endue_v with_o this_o holy_a virtue_n of_o prayer_n because_o there_o be_v so_o few_o who_o be_v true_o mortify_v for_o who_o have_v obtain_v the_o virtue_n of_o mortification_n will_v soon_o get_v the_o virtue_n of_o prayer_n the_o first_o dispose_v we_o unto_o the_o second_o for_o since_o we_o can_v live_v in_o this_o world_n without_o affection_n to_o some_o content_n or_o other_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o hate_v and_o deprive_v ourselves_o of_o these_o worldly_a content_n we_o shall_v easy_o seek_v out_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a comfort_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o holy_a prayer_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v attention_n the_o three_o condition_n &_o without_o which_o our_o prayer_n will_v be_v but_o plain_a hypocrisy_n and_o by_o voluntary_a distraction_n it_o will_v become_v vice_n and_o much_o rather_o provoke_v god_n anger_n against_o we_o then_o appease_v his_o wrath_n for_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n in_o spirit_n we_o must_v adore_v he_o say_v saint_n john_n 4._o and_o therefore_o only_a lipp-prayer_n without_o the_o hart_n according_a to_o saint_n isidore_n be_v no_o prayer_n at_o all_o prayer_n be_v as_o saint_n john_n damascen_n define_v it_o a_o elevation_n of_o the_o hart_n to_o god_n without_o which_o they_o be_v most_o just_o reproach_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o praise_n god_n with_o their_o lip_n but_o have_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o he_o prayer_n be_v without_o

crime_n it_o be_v to_o present_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n without_o attention_n which_o be_v as_o the_o shell_n without_o the_o kernel_n or_o as_o the_o body_n without_o a_o soul_n yea_o mere_a verbal_a prayer_n without_o attention_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v but_o a_o corporal_a action_n and_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o which_o require_v a_o elevation_n of_o the_o hart_n with_o pious_a affection_n and_o attention_n of_o the_o soul_n prayer_n final_o be_v proper_o call_v a_o virtue_n of_o religion_n and_o consist_v not_o only_o in_o the_o corporeal_a or_o material_a faculty_n of_o the_o body_n but_o chief_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o in_o the_o spiritual_a action_n thereof_o which_o must_v be_v interior_a and_o true_o spiritual_a for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v be_v no_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o by_o consequence_n no_o act_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o religion_n it_o not_o proceed_v from_o the_o interior_a operation_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v as_o saint_n john_n have_v tell_v us._n c._n 4._o it_o be_v also_o here_o to_o be_v note_v that_o prayer_n be_v not_o the_o end_n but_o rather_o the_o mean_n unto_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o that_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v profitable_a we_o must_v raise_v up_o thereby_o some_o pious_a affection_n and_o produce_v from_o thence_o good_a purpose_n and_o

the_o true_a profit_n of_o prayer_n and_o by_o so_o pray_v it_o will_v be_v both_o holy_a and_o good_a be_v it_o never_o so_o insipid_a or_o dry_a yea_o it_o will_v be_v both_o please_a to_o god_n
