PRAYER.


 Prayer is mourning, longing, and a desire of the man that mourneth and sorrowethin hisheart, longing for health. Faith ever prayeth. For, after that by faith we are reconciled to God, and have received mercy and forgiveness of God, the spirit longeth and thirsteth for strength to do the will of God, and that God may be honored, his name haliow- ed, and his pleasure and will fulfilled. The spirit waiteth and watcheth on the will of God, and ever hath her own fra gllity and weakness before her eyes; and when she seeth temptation and peril draw nigh, she turneth to God, and to the testament that God hath made toall that believe and trust iil CChrist's bIooti and desireth God for his mercy, and truth, and for the love he hath to Christ. that he will succor, and help, and give us strength, and that he will sanctify his name in us, and fulfil his godly will in us, and that he will not look on our sin and iniquity, but on his mercy, on his truth, and on the love that he oweth to his Son Christ, and for his sake to keep us from temptation, that we be not over- come. and that he deliver us from evil. and whatsoever moveth Us contrary to his godly will.
