By this now that I have said it doth manifestly appear, that as faithful and true prayer is the occasion of all goodness and godliness, so the omitting & neglecting of the same, is the rote & cause of all sin & mischief: And that will be more evident unto them that do consider with them selves these two principal parts wherein true prayer doth consist. The first part of true prayer is called in yt hebrew tong, Thephilah the which sig […] Judicij vel condennationis deprecatinonē, a hearty & earnest request & supplication made unto god the eternal judge, for the remission, & pardon of since, the which request proceedeth from the heart that is anguished by the ugsome sight of his wickedness, revealed by the brightness of the law of God. The other part of prayer is called in that same tong, Thehillah. Laus, a praise of gods mercies, the which doth follow the former request. For when the hart so an guished hath poured out his grief, & is by the spirit of God certified that his since be forgiven, his prayer heard for Christs sake: by and by it bursteth out into a joyful praising of the name of the Lord, who so graciously hath showed himself in giving comfort unto his sorrowful conscience. In these two parts of prayer, the Children of God do exercise them selves, that is, in lamenting of their since, and in rejoicing in the forgiveness of the same, the which consisteth in the death of Christ.
By thys now that I haue sayed it doth manifestly appeare, that as saythfull and trew prayer is the occasion of all goodnes and godlynes, so thomitting & neglecting of the same, is the rote & cause of all sinne & mischief: And that wilbe more euident vnto them that doo consider with thē selues these two principall partes wherin trew prayer doth consist. The fyrst part of true praier is called in yt hebrew tōg, Thephilah the which sig 〈…〉 Iudicij vel cōdēnationis deprecatīonē, a harty & ernest request & suplica tiō made vnto god theternal iudge, for the remission, & pardon of synnes, the which request procedeth frō the harte yt is anguished by the ougsome sight of his wickednes, reueled by the brightnes of the law of God. The other part of prayer is called in yt same tōg, Thehillah. Laus, a prayse of gods mercies, the which doth folow the former request. For whē the hart so an guished hath poured out his grief, & is by the spirit of God certifyed that hys synnes be forgeuen, his prayer hearde for Christes sake: by and by it bursteth out into a ioyful praysing of the name of the Lord, who so graciously hath shewed hymselfe in geuing comfort vnto hys sorowfull conscience. In these two partes of prayer, the Children of God doo exercise them selues, that is, in lamenting of their synnes, and in reioysing in the forgeuenesse of the same, the whiche consisteth in the deathe of Christe.
