conversation_n withdraw_v thy_o mind_n from_o god_n final_o thou_o ought_v ever_o after_o dinner_n on_o those_o day_n to_o occupy_v thyself_o in_o some_o such_o exercise_n as_o thy_o soul_n may_v thereby_o reap_v some_o spiritual_a profit_n and_o grow_v more_o zealous_a and_o fervent_a in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n with_o new_a purpose_n and_o inflame_a desire_n to_o go_v continual_o forward_a and_o to_o wax_v strong_a in_o his_o divine_a service_n with_o great_a charity_n towards_o thy_o neighbour_n better_a knowledge_n of_o thyself_o and_o more_o humility_n in_o all_o thy_o action_n thus_o be_v the_o sabbath_n sanctify_v conformablie_o to_o god_n will_v and_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n afterwards_o both_o in_o thy_o meditation_n before_o supper_n have_v the_o mean_n to_o make_v it_o and_o in_o the_o examination_n of_o thy_o conscience_n before_o thou_o go_v to_o bed_n thou_o shall_v both_o in_o these_o and_o each_o other_o thing_n of_o night_n do_v as_o be_v above_o say_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n note_v this_o by_o the_o way_n that_o on_o these_o day_n all_o be_v to_o be_v do_v with_o so_o much_o more_o leisure_n fervour_n and_o diligence_n as_o the_o highness_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o day_n do_v require_v it_o and_o here_o let_v every_o man_n that_o have_v child_n or_o a_o family_n learn_v that_o he_o be_v a_o guide_n and_o governor_n to_o such_o as_o be_v under_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v bind_v so_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n cause_v they_o to_o hear_v divine_a service_n and_o to_o spend_v the_o holiday_n in_o divine_a exercise_n godly_a and_o holy_a and_o in_o no_o wise_a be_v they_o to_o allow_v that_o any_o one_o in_o their_o house_n have_v any_o public_a

good_a christian_n aught_o to_o keep_v both_o on_o work_v and_o holy_a day_n it_o rest_v that_o i_o entreat_v of_o another_o kind_n of_o daily_a exercise_n very_o necessary_a for_o each_o one_o to_o obtain_v this_o their_o desire_a end_n withal_o chief_o yet_o for_o such_o as_o mind_n to_o dedicat_fw-la themselves_o more_o sincere_o to_o divine_a service_n and_o this_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o holy_a prayer_n not_o only_o verbal_a which_o be_v common_a to_o each_o one_o and_o more_o frequent_v of_o all_o but_o also_o hearty_a prayer_n which_o very_o few_o wot_v of_o and_o so_o consequent_o very_o few_o do_v practice_v be_v nevertheless_o the_o more_o excellent_a kind_n a_o great_a deal_n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o to_o be_v note_v that_o albeit_o public_a prayer_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v make_v with_o the_o mouth_n and_o voice_n as_o common_a prayer_n be_v a_o very_a profitable_a thing_n institute_v approve_a and_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n yet_o be_v not_o this_o but_o that_o which_o we_o call_v prayer_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o more_o worthy_a and_o excellent_a kind_n a_o great_a deal_n and_o whereof_o the_o holy_a doctor_n do_v chief_o mean_v when_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o singular_a fruit_n which_o proceed_v thereof_o the_o which_o spiritual_a kind_n of_o prayer_n do_v so_o far_o pass_v and_o go_v beyond_o the_o outward_a prayer_n of_o the_o lip_n as_o do_v the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n in_o dignity_n pass_v and_o excel_v the_o body_n yet_o both_o necessary_a to_o be_v use_v wherefore_o such_o as_o mind_n to_o exercise_v themselves_o through_o in_o god_n service_n and_o to_o batten_v and_o grow_v strong_a in_o spirit_n ought_v not_o to_o content_v themselves_o only_o with_o verbal_a prayer_n but_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o pray_v with_o 14._o 1._o cor._n 14._o mouth_n and_o mind_n together_o have_v receyve_v at_o god_n hand_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o how_o be_v it_o let_v we_o chief_o pray_v with_o spirit_n for_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v 4._o john_n 4._o to_o the_o samaritan_n god_n be_v spirit_n &_o those_o which_o worship_v he_o must_v in_o spirit_n and_o 3._o 2._o cor._n 3._o truth_n worship_v he_o whereupon_o we_o know_v right_a well_o that_o the_o holy_a saint_n of_o old_a time_n do_v exercise_v themselves_o most_o chief_o and_o common_o in_o this_o kind_n of_o prayer_n as_o have_v by_o experience_n prove_v how_o much_o more_o profit_n and_o spiritual_a comfort_n the_o soul_n receyve_v by_o this_o spiritual_a prayer_n then_o by_o that_o of_o the_o mouth_n this_o thing_n also_o alone_o declare_v sufficient_o of_o what_o importance_n they_o deem_v this_o exercise_n and_o how_o necessary_a for_o all_o good_a christian_n in_o that_o they_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o call_v the_o same_o omnipotent_a for_o so_o much_o as_o be_v make_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v we_o thereby_o obtain_v everye_o thing_n like_v as_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n have_v promise_v say_v verylie_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whatsoever_o that_o you_o 15._o mat._n 21._o mar._n 11._o john_n 15._o shall_v ask_v by_o prayer_n believe_v it_o shall_v be_v give_v you_o this_o prayer_n whereof_o we_o now_o speak_v be_v a_o lift_v up_o of_o our_o mind_n to_o god_n which_o be_v rather_o do_v with_o inflame_a desire_n of_o the_o heart_n then_o with_o variety_n of_o outward_a word_n and_o so_o be_v we_o less_o pain_v therein_o then_o in_o the_o other_o yea_o look_v how_o much_o the_o long_o we_o continue_v in_o this_o kind_n of_o exercise_n and_o so_o much_o do_v we_o find_v it_o the_o more_o savoury_a and_o fruitful_a for_o our_o soul_n for_o that_o each_o time_n a_o man_n frequent_v this_o holy_a exercise_n he_o still_o suck_v out_o new_a sap_n of_o grace_n and_o spiritual_a treasure_n yea_o such_o as_o at_o some_o time_n the_o soul_n do_v as_o it_o be_v handle_v and_o feel_v it_o most_o apparent_o for_o like_a as_o moses_n have_v his_o face_n lighten_v and_o make_v glitter_v through_o his_o often_o conversion_n with_o god_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n according_a 3._o exo_fw-la 34._o 2._o cor._n 3._o as_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v can_v not_o abide_v to_o look_v upon_o he_o even_o so_o the_o soul_n through_o perseveraunce_n in_o prayer_n become_v more_o lighten_v and_o illuminate_v with_o the_o new_a grace_n it_o receyve_v we_o know_v moreover_o how_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n as_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n saint_n luke_n report_v be_v in_o prayer_n be_v transfigure_v and_o his_o 1._o luke_n 9_o math._n 17._o mark_v 9_o 2._o pet._n 1._o face_n visible_o change_v into_o as_o beautiful_a a_o brightness_n as_o the_o sun_n his_o garment_n also_o become_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n even_o so_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o prayer_n transfigure_v and_o change_v into_o god_n and_o the_o darkness_n thereof_o turn_v into_o light_n frailty_n into_o force_n fear_v into_o hope_n sadness_n into_o solace_n with_o other_o innumerable_a commodity_n that_o hardly_o can_v be_v rehearse_v which_o trial_n testify_v to_o proceed_v out_o of_o this_o holy_a prayer_n since_o then_o this_o be_v for_o all_o so_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a a_o exercise_n i_o shall_v stretch_v myself_o out_o a_o little_a the_o further_a to_o tell_v thou_o in_o what_o manner_n thou_o ought_v to_o make_v it_o and_o first_o shall_v i_o declare_v what_o such_o may_v do_v as_o be_v more_o spiritual_a and_o have_v better_a leisure_n be_v mind_v to_o make_v this_o exercise_n afterward_o will_v i_o set_v down_o another_o method_n for_o the_o simple_a and_o more_o busy_v sort_n such_o as_o want_v capacity_n &_o leisure_n to_o exercise_v they_o whole_o in_o this_o office_n that_o by_o do_v but_o what_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o may_v become_v partaker_n of_o this_o so_o fruitful_a and_o necessary_a a_o excercise_n the_o manner_n how_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o the_o preparation_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v before_o it_o cap._n 6._o this_o prayer_n which_o we_o call_v spiritual_a be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v a_o elevation_n and_o lift_v uppe_o of_o the_o mind_n to_o god_n like_a as_o the_o soul_n may_v diverse_a way_n elevate_v itself_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n even_o so_o be_v there_o diverse_a meditation_n or_o consideration_n which_o be_v call_v by_o this_o
