Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The words have no difficulty in them [you helping together] that is, you together joining in prayer with me: I pray for my self, and you together helping me by prayer, God will deliver me.
The words have no difficulty in them [you helping together] that is, you together joyning in prayer with me: I pray for my self, and you together helping me by prayer, God will deliver me.
The points considerable in the words are these.
First of all, that in the time of peril, or in the want of any benefit, the means to be delivered from the one, and to convey the other, it is prayer; God will do this, you praying.
The second is this, that Gods children can pray for themselves.
The third is, that notwithstanding, though they can pray for themselves, yet they require the joint help of others, and they need the help of others.
