Romans8:26

Verſe 26. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Beza. Pareus. Helpeth our infirmities] Lifts with us, and be fore us in our praiers: Or helpeth us, as the Nurſe helpeth her little childe, upholding it by the ſleeve.

For we know not what, &c.] The fleſh with her murmurings maketh ſuch a din,Da. Dike. that we can hardly hear the voice of the ſpirit, mixing with the fl[illegible: 1 letter]ſhes roarings and repinings, his praying, ſighes and ſobbings.

But the Spirit it ſelf] Praier is the breath of the Spirit, who doth ſuperexpoſtulate for us, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. enditing our praiers. We cannot ſo much as ſuspirare, unleſſe he do firſt inspirare, breathe out a ſigh for ſin, if he breathe it not into us.

With groanings that cannot be uttered] He that would have unſpeakable joy, 1 Pet. 1.8. muſt by the Spirit ſtirre up unutterable groanings.
