Prayer is a mourning a longing & a desire of the sprite to godward for that which she lacketh / as a sick morneth & sorroweth in his heart longing for health. Faith ever prayeth. For after y• by faith we are reconciled to god & have received mercy & forgiveness of god the sprite longeth & thirsteth for strength to do the will of God / & that god may be honoured / his name hallowed / & his pleasure & will fulfilled. The sprite waiteth & watcheth on the will of god and ever hath her own fragility & weakness before her eyes / and when she seeth tentation & peril draw nigh / she turneth to God & to the testament that God hath made to all that believe & trust • Christs blood & desireth God for his mercy / trueth and for the love he hath to Christ / that he wool fulfil his promise / y• he will soccer & help & give us strength / and that he wool sanctify his name in us & fulfil his godly will in us / and that he will not look on our sin & iniquity / but on his mercy / on his trueth / & on the love that he oweth to his Son Christ & for his sake to keep us from tentation / that we be not overcome and that he deliver us from evil / & what so ever moveth us contrary to his Godly will.
