no_o less_o than_o a_o volume_n 1._o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o content_n of_o our_o prayer_n namely_o confession_n of_o sin_n or_o deprecation_n petition_n for_o thing_n necessary_a intercession_n for_o other_o and_o give_v of_o thanks_o and_o how_o every_o one_o of_o these_o shall_v be_v perform_v 2._o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n how_o we_o shall_v be_v dispose_v when_o we_o pray_v that_o we_o shall_v sequester_v ourselves_o from_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a thought_n set_v ourselves_o as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n due_o consider_v our_o own_o unworthiness_n and_o the_o great_a majesty_n of_o god_n as_o also_o the_o great_a need_n we_o have_v of_o these_o we_o pray_v for_o and_o the_o inability_n of_o all_o other_o mean_n under_o heaven_n to_o help_v we_o unless_o god_n be_v please_v to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n 3._o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v pray_v to_o god_n only_o and_o to_o god_n right_o conceive_v one_o in_o essence_n three_o in_o person_n father_n son_n and_o holyghost_n and_o to_o this_o one_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n 4._o we_o be_v teach_v what_o thing_n we_o shall_v pray_v for_o 5.14_o 1_o joh._n 5.14_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o grant_v or_o as_o st._n john_n say_v for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o for_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v necessary_a either_o for_o the_o soul_n or_o for_o the_o body_n but_o with_o this_o caveat_n that_o we_o pray_v first_o and_o chief_o for_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o in_o the_o last_o pace_n for_o thing_n temporal_a and_o for_o thing_n temporal_a only_o conditional_o if_o it_o be_v god_n will_v and_o with_o a_o exception_n and_o reservation_n of_o the_o cross_n last_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n how_o we_o shall_v pray_v with_o reverence_n and_o humility_n with_o love_n and_o charity_n with_o faith_n and_o confidence_n to_o be_v hear_v with_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n with_o patience_n constancy_n and_o perseverance_n if_o we_o follow_v these_o direction_n and_o take_v god_n word_n for_o our_o guide_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o spirit_n direct_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o word_n so_o he_o assist_v we_o inward_o with_o his_o motion_n for_o which_o he_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n or_o supplication_n he_o be_v so_o call_v because_o he_o stir_v up_o help_n and_o inable_v we_o to_o pray_v first_o he_o stir_v we_o up_o and_o move_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o of_o ourselves_o we_o have_v no_o spiritual_a disposition_n to_o prayer_n but_o be_v averse_a from_o it_o and_o rather_o employ_v ourselves_o any_o other_o way_n it_o be_v the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o holyghost_n shed_v abroad_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 5.5_o and_o this_o love_n of_o god_n beget_v in_o we_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o seek_v god_n and_o that_o good_a which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o they_o who_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n know_v this_o by_o experience_n that_o even_o when_o their_o affection_n be_v dull_a and_o heavy_a they_o feel_v sometime_o on_o a_o sudden_a such_o a_o fire_n kindle_v within_o they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o long_o be_v silent_a but_o must_v vent_v their_o desire_n by_o prayer_n david_n find_v it_o so_o psal_n 39.3_o my_o heart_n be_v hot_a within_o i_o while_o i_o be_v muse_v the_o fire_n burn_v then_o i_o speak_v with_o my_o tongue_n lord_n make_v i_o to_o know_v my_o end_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n who_o kindle_v this_o fire_n in_o david_n heart_n which_o burst_v out_o into_o the_o flame_n of_o fervent_a devotion_n his_o desire_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o make_v he_o to_o cry_v out_o o_o god_n my_o heart_n be_v prepare_v i_o will_v sing_v and_o give_v praise_n as_o the_o spirit_n stir_v we_o up_o and_o move_v we_o to_o pray_v so_o he_o help_v and_o enable_v we_o to_o pray_v the_o apostle_n say_v we_o know_v not_o what_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v nor_o yet_o how_o to_o pray_v that_o be_v we_o be_v not_o able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o pray_v with_o that_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n that_o heat_n of_o heart_n such_o motion_n of_o mind_n such_o power_n and_o such_o affection_n as_o be_v convenient_a for_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n
