¶Let ever man judge his own hart.
¶Let euer man iudge his owne hart.
SO that frequently / when we with all reverence should speak to God / we find our harts talking with the vanities of the world or with the foolish imaginations of our own con sent / so that without the spirit of God.
SO that frequently / when we with all reuerince should speake to God / we fynde oure harts talkīg with the vanites of the world or with the folish imaginacions of our own cō sent / so that without the sprete of God.
Supporting our infirmities / mightily making intercession for us / with incessable groans / which can not be expressed with tongue / hope is there none / that any thing we can desire / according to Gods will. I mean not that the holy ghost mourns or prays / but that he stirreth up our minds / giving unto us a desire or boldness for to pray / & causeth us to mourn when we are extracted & plucked there from / which things to conceive / no strength of man sufficeth / neither is able of it self.
