he_o now_o to_o inform_v we_o what_o prayer_n delight_v god_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o the_o four_o verse_n shewe_a that_o he_o have_v the_o

will_v say_v unto_o i_o who_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v continual_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o twelve_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n teach_v we_o a_o reasonable_a service_n of_o god_n here_o he_o seem_v to_o enjoin_v we_o a_o unreasonable_a service_n of_o god_n for_o who_o do_v ever_o pray_v continual_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v pray_v continual_o when_o shall_v we_o hear_v or_o preach_v or_o when_o

to_o pray_v continual_o because_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o prayer_n but_o if_o you_o imagine_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v break_v if_o your_o lip_n be_v not_o always_o go_v which_o be_v the_o heresy_n of_o the_o messaliant_a or_o if_o you_o dwell_v not_o always_o in_o the_o church_n like_o the_o golden_a candlestick_n than_o you_o be_v out_o of_o paul_n mind_n for_o paul_n do_v

not_o mean_v a_o church-prayer_n and_o further_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o appoint_v to_o pray_v at_o all_o time_n for_o they_o have_v set_v time_n of_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v how_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o pray_v continual_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n continual_o unto_o god_n 4._o &_o to_o pray_v in_o our_o thought_n as_o moses_n do_v though_o we_o open_v not_o our_o lip_n and_o so_o we_o may_v pray_v continual_o as_o when_o a_o good_a man_n be_v to_o answer_v before_o the_o
