the_o form_n of_o prayer_n consist_v in_o the_o repetition_n of_o word_n for_o to_o pray_v be_v to_o lift_v up_o the_o mind_n unto_o god_n pray_v what_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o pour_v out_o the_o

so_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v right_o inform_v now_o the_o heart_n in_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v penitent_a and_o humble_a but_o because_o we_o do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n
