before_o the_o world_n for_o if_o we_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v lose_v the_o reward_n and_o benefit_n of_o our_o prayer_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v his_o own_o self_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n also_o that_o we_o think_v not_o the_o virtue_n of_o prayer_n to_o consist_v in_o multiply_v of_o many_o word_n without_o faith_n and_o godly_a devotion_n thynck_v as_o the_o heathen_a do_v that_o for_o our_o many_o word_n or_o moche_n speak_v we_o be_v hear_v of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n who_o so_o ever_o do_v think_v so_o he_o shall_v deceyve_v himself_o for_o god_n do_v not_o regard_v neither_o the_o sweet_a sound_n of_o our_o voice_n nor_o the_o great_a numb_a by'r_a of_o our_o word_n but_o the_o earnest_a feruentnes_n and_o true_a faithful_a devotion_n of_o our_o heart_n final_o we_o must_v beware_v in_o our_o prayer_n of_o that_o common_a pestilent_a infection_n and_o venemefull_a poison_n of_o all_o good_a prayer_n that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o our_o mouth_n pray_v and_o

thus_o o_o hypocrite_n esaie_n the_o prophet_n prophect_v well_o upon_o you_o when_o he_o say_v thus_o this_o people_n draw_v nigh_o i_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o i_o that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o speak_v with_o their_o tongue_n and_o lip_n the_o word_n of_o prayer_n but_o in_o their_o heart_n they_o mind_n no_o thing_n less_o than_o they_o speak_v as_o that_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o prayer_n stand_v in_o the_o outward_a speak_n only_o of_o the_o word_n and_o not_o in_o the_o inward_a true_a and_o faithful_a request_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o the_o intent_n therefore_o your_o heart_n and_o lip_n may_v god_n together_o in_o prayer_n it_o be_v very_o convenient_a and_o moche_v acceptable_a to_o god_n that_o you_o shall_v use_v your_o private_a prayer_n in_o your_o mother_n tongue_n that_o you_o understanding_n what_o you_o ask_v of_o god_n may_v more_o earnest_o &_o fervent_o desire_v the_o same_o your_o heart_n &_o mind_n agre_v to_o your_o mouth_n and_o word_n wherefore_o let_v we_o eschew_v good_a people_n in_o our_o prayer_n all_o the_o afore_o rehearse_v vice_n for_o else_o we_o shall_v not_o obtain_v our_o petition_n and_o
