A Short and Easy Method of Prayer Translated from the French of Madame J. M. B. De La Mothe Guyon, By Thomas Digby Brooke. "I will pray with the Spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also." - 1 Cor. xiv. 15. 

London: Hatchard & Co. 187 Piccadilly. 1867. 

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de La Motte Guyon (1648 - 1717) was a French Christian accused of advocating Quietism, which was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. Madame Guyon was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing the book A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer.

A Short & Easy Method of Prayer by Madame Guyon was originally circulated privately but proved to be so popular that it was finally made available to the public in 1685. A Short & Easy Method of Prayer is divided into 24 chapters and translated from the French by Thomas Digby Brooke and published in English.
