god_n have_v have_v from_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v content_a with_o small_a cross_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n the_o six_o evil_n that_o there_o be_v in_o a_o murmur_a spirit_n be_v this_o by_o murmur_v you_o undo_v your_o prayer_n for_o it_o be_v exceed_o contrary_a to_o the_o prayer_n you_o make_v unto_o god_n when_o you_o come_v to_o prayer_n to_o god_n you_o acknowledge_v his_o sovereignty_n over_o you_o you_o come_v there_o to_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v at_o god_n dispose_n what_o do_v you_o pray_v for_o except_v you_o acknowledge_v that_o you_o be_v at_o his_o dispose_n except_o you_o will_v stand_v as_o it_o be_v at_o his_o dispose_n never_o come_v to_o petition_v to_o he_o if_o you_o will_v come_v to_o petition_n to_o he_o and_o yet_o will_v be_v your_o own_o carver_n you_o go_v cross_v to_o your_o prayer_n to_o come_v as_o if_o you_o will_v beg_v your_o bread_n at_o your_o father_n gate_n every_o day_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v do_v what_o you_o listen_v this_o be_v the_o undo_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o christian_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v of_o latimer_n that_o speak_v concern_v peter_n that_o he_o deny_v his_o master_n say_v he_o peter_n forget_v his_o pater-noster_n for_o that_o be_v hallow_v be_v thy_o name_n and_o thy_o kingdom_n come_v so_o we_o may_v say_v when_o you_o have_v murmur_a and_o discontent_a heart_n you_o forget_v your_o prayer_n you_o forget_v what_o you_o have_v pray_v for_o for_o you_o must_v make_v the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o be_v as_o a_o pattern_n for_o your_o prayer_n though_o you_o say_v not_o always_o the_o same_o word_n what_o do_v you_o pray_v but_o give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n for_o that_o be_v christ_n intention_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v that_o as_o a_o pattern_n and_o be_v a_o directory_n as_o it_o be_v how_o to_o make_v your_o prayer_n now_o god_n do_v not_o teach_v any_o of_o you_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v we_o so_o much_o a_o year_n or_o let_v i_o have_v such_o kind_n of_o cloth_n and_o so_o many_o dish_n at_o my_o table_n christ_n do_v not_o teach_v you_o to_o pray_v so_o but_o he_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v we_o our_o bread_n show_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v content_a with_o a_o little_a what_o have_v you_o not_o bread_n to_o eat_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o here_o but_o have_v that_o obj._n but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v if_o i_o shall_v die_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o my_o child_n or_o if_o i_o have_v bread_n now_o i_o know_v not_o where_o i_o shall_v have_v it_o the_o next_o week_n or_o where_o i_o shall_v have_v provision_n for_o the_o winter_n answ_n where_o do_v christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v lord_n give_v we_o provision_n for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n no_o but_o if_o we_o have_v bread_n for_o this_o day_n christ_n will_v have_v we_o content_a therefore_o when_o we_o murmur_v because_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o variety_n as_o other_o have_v we_o do_v as_o it_o be_v forget_v out_o paternoster_n it_o be_v against_o our_o prayer_n we_o do_v not_o in_o our_o life_n hold_v forth_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n over_o we_o as_o we_o seem_v to_o acknowledge_v in_o our_o prayer_n therefore_o when_o at_o any_o time_n you_o find_v your_o heart_n murmur_v then_o do_v but_o reflect_v upon_o yourselves_o and_o think_v thus_o be_v this_o according_a to_o my_o prayer_n wherein_o i_o hold_v forth_o the_o sovereign_a power_n and_o authority_n that_o god_n have_v over_o i_o the_o seven_o thing_n that_o i_o add_v for_o the_o evil_a of_o discontentment_n be_v the_o woeful_a effect_n that_o come_v to_o a_o discontent_a heart_n from_o murmur_a i_o will_v name_v you_o five_o there_o be_v five_o evil_a effect_n that_o come_v from_o a_o murmur_a spirit_n 1._o by_o murmur_v and_o discontent_a in_o your_o heart_n you_o come_v to_o lose_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n how_o many_o time_n do_v man_n and_o woman_n when_o they_o be_v discontent_v let_v their_o thought_n run_v and_o be_v muse_v and_o contrive_v through_o their_o present_a discontentedness_n then_o let_v their_o discontent_a thought_n be_v work_v in_o they_o for_o some_o hour_n together_o and_o they_o spend_v their_o time_n in_o vain_a when_o you_o be_v alone_o you_o shall_v spend_v your_o time_n in_o holy_a meditation_n but_o you_o be_v spend_v your_o time_n in_o discontent_a thought_n you_o who_o complain_v that_o you_o can_v meditate_v you_o can_v think_v on_o good_a thing_n but_o if_o you_o begin_v to_o think_v of_o they_o a_o little_a present_o your_o thought_n be_v off_o from_o they_o but_o if_o you_o be_v discontent_v with_o any_o thing_n than_o you_o can_v go_v alone_o and_o muse_v and_o roll_v thing_n up_o and_o down_o in_o your_o thought_n to_o feed_v a_o discontent_a humour_n oh_o labour_n to_o see_v this_o evil_a effect_n of_o murmur_a the_o lose_n of_o your_o time_n 2._o it_o do_v unfit_a a_o man_n for_o duty_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v in_o a_o content_a frame_n you_o may_v turn_v such_o a_o one_o to_o any_o thing_n at_o any_o time_n he_o be_v fit_a for_o to_o go_v to_o god_n at_o any_o time_n but_o when_o one_o be_v in_o a_o discontent_a condition_n than_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v exceed_o unfit_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o it_o cause_v many_o distraction_n in_o duty_n it_o unfit_v for_o duty_n and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v duty_n oh_o the_o distraction_n that_o be_v in_o your_o duty_n when_o your_o spirit_n be_v discontent_v when_o you_o hear_v of_o any_o ill_a news_n from_o sea_n and_o can_v bear_v it_o or_o of_o any_o ill_n from_o a_o friend_n or_o any_o loss_n or_o cross_n oh_o what_o distraction_n do_v they_o cause_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n when_o you_o shall_v be_v enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n you_o be_v distract_v in_o your_o thought_n about_o the_o cross_n that_o have_v befall_v you_o whereas_o have_v you_o but_o a_o quiet_a spirit_n though_o there_o shall_v great_a cross_n befall_v you_o yet_o they_o will_v never_o hinder_v you_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o duty_n 3._o consider_v what_o wicked_a rise_n of_o heart_n and_o resolution_n of_o spirit_n there_o be_v many_o time_n in_o a_o discontent_a fit_n in_o some_o discontent_a fit_n the_o heart_n rise_v against_o god_n and_o against_o other_o and_o sometime_o have_v even_o desperate_a resolution_n what_o to_o do_v to_o help_v themselves_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v suffer_v you_o to_o have_v do_v sometime_o in_o a_o discontent_a fit_n what_o you_o have_v think_v to_o do_v what_o wonderful_a misery_n have_v you_o bring_v upon_o yourselves_o oh_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o do_v stop_v you_o have_v not_o god_n stop_v you_o but_o let_v you_o go_v on_o when_o you_o think_v to_o help_v yourselves_o this_o way_n and_o the_o other_o way_n oh_o it_o have_v be_v ill_o with_o you_o do_v you_o but_o remember_v those_o rise_n of_o heart_n and_o wicked_a resolution_n that_o sometime_o you_o have_v have_v in_o a_o discontent_a mood_n and_o learn_v to_o be_v humble_v upon_o that_o 4._o unthankfulness_n that_o be_v a_o evil_a and_o a_o wicked_a effect_n that_o come_v from_o discontent_n unthankfulness_n the_o scripture_n do_v rank_a among_o very_o great_a sin_n for_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v discontent_n though_o they_o enjoy_v many_o mercy_n from_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v thankful_a for_o none_o of_o they_o for_o this_o be_v the_o vile_a nature_n of_o discontentment_n to_o lessen_v every_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o make_v those_o mercy_n they_o have_v from_o god_n to_o be_v as_o nothing_o to_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o what_o they_o will_v have_v sometime_o it_o be_v so_o even_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n if_o they_o have_v not_o all_o they_o will_v have_v the_o comfort_n that_o they_o will_v have_v than_o what_o they_o have_v be_v nothing_o to_o they_o do_v you_o think_v that_o god_n will_v take_v this_o well_o if_o you_o shall_v give_v a_o friend_n a_o kinsman_n a_o purse_n of_o money_n to_o go_v and_o trade_n withal_o and_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o say_v what_o do_v you_o give_v i_o they_o be_v but_o a_o few_o counter_n they_o will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a you_o can_v bear_v this_o at_o his_o hand_n if_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o because_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o money_n as_o he_o will_v so_o for_o you_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v all_z that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o be_v nothing_o worth_a will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a they_o be_v but_o counter_n though_o they_o be_v precious_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o thousand_o of_o world_n yet_o for_o
