Prayer is a mourning, a longing & a desire of the spirit to Godward 1for that which she lacketh, as a sick morneth and sorroweth in his hart, 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 honoured, his name hallowed, & his pleasure & will fulfilled. The spirit waiteth, and watcheth on the will of God, and ever hath her own fragility, and weakness before her eyes, and when she seeth temptation and peril drawnye, she turneth to God, and to the testament that God hath made to all that ⟨p. 82⟩believe and trust in Christs blood, and desireth God for his mercy, truth, and for the love he hath to Christ, that he will fulfil his promise, that he will succour, help, and give us strength, and that he will sanctify his name in us & 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 overcome, and that he deliver us from evil, and what soever moveth us contrary to his godly will.
