into_o all_o its_o fruit_n and_o love_v and_o bear_v they_o all_o 10._o v._n five_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o we_o of_o and_o from_o our_o own_o power_n can_v right_o pray_v before_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o also_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o know_v not_o what_o we_o shall_v pray_v as_o we_o ought_v before_o god_n but_o the_o holy_a spirit_n itself_o

his_o skill_n cognizance_n and_o will_n and_o not_o only_o with_o empty_a breath_n and_o word_n enter_v before_o god_n when_o we_o will_v pray_v aright_o and_o be_v hear_v but_o with_o true_a right_a earnest_n sincere_a repentance_n and_o conversion_n from_o our_o false_a or_o wicked_a conversation_n we_o must_v go_v forth_o from_o all_o falsehood_n pride_n or_o state_n covetousness_n envy_n anger_n and_o contrariety_n or_o opposition_n and_o total_o give_v up_o our_o heart_n and_o soul_n to_o god_n the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v be_v our_o work_v of_o repentance_n and_o power_n in_o the_o prayer_n that_o he_o may_v include_v or_o comprehend_v our_o willing_a and_o desire_v in_o himself_o and_o bring_v it_o into_o god_n that_o we_o may_v die_v away_o in_o the_o death_n of_o
