of_o prayer_n as_o it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o common_a worship_n and_o set_v up_o some_o other_o way_n of_o prayer_n as_o more_o excellent_a yet_o whilst_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o will_v

neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o any_o more_o than_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v and_o though_o such_o prayer_n may_v not_o appear_v so_o formal_a as_o those_o that_o be_v common_o use_v in_o the_o

and_o though_o they_o may_v not_o speak_v in_o such_o formal_a compose_a word_n yet_o in_o the_o same_o wisdom_n their_o word_n be_v formal_a not_o at_o all_o differ_v in_o the_o ground_n or_o

other_o way_n of_o pray_v which_o be_v conceive_v and_o perform_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o true_a prayer_n neither_o do_v god_n regard_v it_o more_o than_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o differ_v in_o nothing_o but_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o however_o they_o may_v differ_v in_o the_o practice_n yet_o they_o meet_v in_o
