to_o pray_v it_o be_v his_o custom_n in_o his_o prayer_n to_o say_v thus_o o_o god_n grant_v i_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a when_o i_o ask_v they_o not_o and_o deny_v i_o when_o i_o ask_v for_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a god_n often_o favour_v we_o by_o not_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o sometime_o punish_v we_o by_o grant_v our_o request_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o that_o which_o be_v pernicious_a to_o our_o welfare_n as_o we_o common_o do_v for_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v we_o often_o know_v not_o what_o we_o ask_v physician_n order_n those_o who_o have_v a_o weak_a stomach_n to_o eat_v little_a and_o often_o if_o it_o be_v hard_a for_o you_o to_o keep_v up_o your_o attention_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o prayer_n do_v you_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n when_o you_o pray_v use_v not_o vain_a repetition_n as_o the_o heathen_a do_v for_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v be_v hear_v for_o their_o much_o speak_n if_o therefore_o your_o prayer_n must_v be_v short_a let_v they_o be_v the_o more_o frequent_a but_o chief_o i_o shall_v once_o again_o exhort_v you_o to_o this_o let_v neither_o your_o zeal_n nor_o your_o faith_n be_v want_v my_o son_n if_o you_o remember_v i_o say_v we_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n in_o all_o place_n though_o all_o place_n be_v not_o equal_o proper_a for_o this_o exercise_n yet_o if_o we_o consider_v prayer_n to_o be_v as_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v a_o dart_v forth_o of_o our_o soul_n towards_o god_n to_o unite_v it_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n why_o can_v we_o do_v this_o every_o hour_n if_o not_o every_o moment_n in_o the_o day_n wheresoever_o we_o be_v at_o home_o or_o abroad_o and_o why_o can_v we_o often_o turn_v our_o heart_n to_o god_n though_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o most_o important_a affair_n and_o in_o walk_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o city_n or_o in_o the_o country_n to_o do_v thus_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o he_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v a_o move_a closet_n a_o place_n of_o retirement_n a_o holy_a solitude_n where_o we_o may_v enter_v every_o moment_n and_o from_o thence_o send_v such_o fervent_a though_o short_a ejaculation_n as_o shall_v penetrate_v heaven_n and_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n than_o those_o long_a prayer_n which_o too_o often_o want_v attention_n these_o ejaculation_n be_v without_o doubt_n what_o the_o evangelist_n mean_v when_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o pray_v always_o and_o why_o my_o son_n shall_v you_o not_o observe_v this_o good_a custom_n of_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o praise_v he_o in_o your_o bed_n whensoever_o you_o happen_v to_o awake_v since_o prayer_n be_v so_o much_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o divine_a worship_n that_o the_o scripture_n

pray_v to_o god_n without_o put_v your_o trust_n in_o he_o neither_o can_v you_o put_v your_o trust_n in_o god_n without_o love_v he_o love_v he_o then_o if_o you_o expect_v his_o love_n fear_v he_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v wise_a for_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n this_o fear_n as_o solomon_n say_v be_v to_o hate_v and_o avoid_v all_o evil_a and_o consequent_o to_o do_v good_a if_o you_o fear_v god_n you_o will_v love_v he_o and_o if_o you_o love_v he_o you_o will_v keep_v his_o commandment_n my_o son_n you_o know_v all_o those_o commandment_n let_v nothing_o then_o be_v a_o obstacle_n to_o your_o practice_n of_o they_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n this_o religion_n
