the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o eassier_n understand_v this_o doctrine_n i_o will_v say_v two_o thing_n concern_v prayer_n which_o be_v these_o 1_o what_o christian_a prayer_n be_v and_o how_o many_o

of_o david_n who_o go_v about_o too_o pray_v say_v in_o the_o .25_o psalm_n unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n have_v i_o lift_v up_o my_o soul_n and_o second_o by_o the_o form_n of_o pray_v appoint_v too_o

unto_o heaven_n this_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o prayer_n be_v not_o a_o prattle_a of_o the_o speech_n only_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o humble_a lift_v up_o of_o the_o hart_n

that_o none_o be_v too_o be_v call_v upon_o but_o he_o concern_v who_o we_o have_v commandment_n the_o second_o be_v promisse_fw-la no_o invocation_n have_v promise_n but_o that_o which_o be_v make_v untoo_o god_n therefore_o we_o do_v amiss_o too_o call_v upon_o any_o other_o than_o god_n the_o third_o be_v example_n we_o have_v no_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n that_o call_v upon_o saint_n wherefore_o let_v we_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n and_o let_v we_o yield_v this_o divine_a service_n untoo_o none_o but_o too_o who_o it_o be_v due_a that_o be_v alone_o untoo_o god_n the_o four_o be_v a_o manifest_a forbid_v thou_o shall_v worship_n the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v wherefore_o it_o be_v too_o be_v hold_v for_o a_o most_o certainty_n that_o the_o devil_n bring_v in_o the_o call_n upon_o creature_n that_o be_v too_o say_v upon_o saint_n for_o three_o intent_n first_o that_o he_o may_v spoil_v chryst_n of_o his_o honour_n next_o that_o
