—and i should pray and pray aright.
—and pray, sir, tell me what it is to pray aright.
—why, sir, 'tis nothing but to pray with all sincerity.
—and with all sincerity you tell me that is nothing?
—why, 'tis nothing indeed.
—why, 'tis nothing indeed to say that 'tis nothing.
—then you think me insincere?
—no, i' faith, i think you insensible.
—then you cannot be sincere in faith to think me insensible to say 'tis nothing to pray with all sincerity.
—why, i am sincere indeed in faith and in that am i sensible that 'tis not indeed nothing.
—why, have you never prayed aright?
—and, pray, once more, sir, what is it to pray aright?
—why, sir, 'tis—
—why, sir, 'tis everything to me, and that is why i cannot answer, and, sir, since i cannot answer, why, i cannot see that your assuredness is sound.
—you think me unsound?
—in this i do.
—but what would it be to be sound in this?
—why to be sound is all that there is.
—indeed no, 'though there is always sound, if only the groans in our weakness.
—but to pray aright is to rid our prayers of weakness.
—but indeed if it anything to pray aright, it must only be to be aware of the weakness with which we pray.
—then i must pray, and pray aright.
