he_o till_o they_o feel_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o that_o will_v stir_v they_o to_o continual_a prayer_n but_o the_o wicked_a want_n faith_n to_o go_v in_o the_o

he_o they_o have_v no_o promise_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o therefore_o want_v faith_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o go_v to_o the_o saint_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o saint_n do_v never_o promise_v they_o so_o to_o do_v neither_o do_v they_o know_v whether_o the_o saint_n hear_v they_o or_o no._n again_o some_o pray_v in_o latin_a when_o they_o do_v not_o underderstand_v what_o

our_o heart_n we_o pray_v with_o the_o heart_n god_n know_v indeed_o that_o their_o heart_n be_v vain_a and_o foolish_a because_o they_o do_v not_o pray_v with_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o promise_n to_o be_v hear_v &_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v a_o pair_n of_o bead_n and_o tell_v how_o many_o prayer_n they_o say_v though_o they_o can_v tell_v what_o they_o say_v i_o
