my_o soul_n confess_v it_o to_o be_v the_o same_o prayer_n in_o substance_n which_o christ_n deliver_v to_o his_o disciple_n therefore_o i_o pray_v thou_o gentle_a reader_n whosoever_o thou_o be_v

not_o intend_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o style_n to_o the_o learned_a but_o to_o the_o unlearned_a for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o matter_n the_o truth_n and_o homelines_n may_v well_o sort_v together_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reject_v for_o her_o plainness_n rather_o i_o wish_v that_o man_n in_o heavenly_a matter_n can_v frame_v themselves_o to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o mean_a which_o be_v the_o sure_a way_n see_v that_o learned_a man_n can_v understand_v thing_n plain_o deliver_v but_o the_o unlearned_a can_v conceive_v the_o easy_a doctrine_n

treatise_n to_o ignorance_n and_o want_n of_o skill_n i_o will_v not_o endeavour_n to_o weed_n that_o prejudice_n out_o of_o his_o mind_n see_v that_o i_o profess_v it_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o my_o

be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o we_o must_v pray_v therefore_o we_o must_v pray_v of_o necessity_n if_o god_n shall_v command_v a_o man_n 12_o gen._n 11_o &_o 12_o as_o he_o do_v

must_v pray_v if_o thou_o will_v not_o pray_v thou_o shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a necessity_n of_o prayer_n salvation_n or_o destruction_n furthermore_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o man_n will_n and_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creature_n must_v be_v square_v as_o it_o be_v and_o frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creator_n which_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creature_n will_v now_o god_n law_n be_v he_o reveal_v will_n and_o prayer_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o law_n command_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n wherefore_o that_o our_o will_n and_o action_n may_v be_v perfect_a we_o must_v of_o necessity_n frame_v they_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v pray_v second_o the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n may_v also_o appear_v unto_o we_o by_o other_o consideration_n as_o namely_o of_o the_o use_n of_o prayer_n for_o prayer_n be_v that_o only_a mean_n in_o thou_o whereby_o thou_o procure_v or_o obtain_v from_o god_n save_v blessing_n for_o god_n promise_n be_v conditional_a ask_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v you_o seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o ask_v not_o 7.7_o matth._n 7.7_o you_o shall_v not_o receive_v you_o shall_v receive_v but_o you_o must_v first_o ask_v seek_v knock_v pray_v now_o if_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o many_o man_n have_v abundance_n of_o god_n blessing_n which_o never_o ask_v they_o of_o god_n see_v that_o they_o can_v pray_v be_v wicked_a it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o be_v not_o save_v blessing_n and_o so_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o true_a blessing_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o for_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a poison_n insensible_o in_o heart_n in_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o we_o use_v in_o the_o world_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o curse_n wherewith_o god_n curse_v the_o earth_n for_o man_n sake_n 3._o gen_n 3._o which_o poison_n god_n never_o remove_v away_o till_o we_o beg_v it_o by_o prayer_n of_o he_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o see_v wicked_a man_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v pray_v therefore_o though_o they_o have_v many_o blessing_n in_o show_n yet_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v not_o so_o but_o rather_o curse_n even_o the_o very_a poison_n and_o bane_n of_o their_o soul_n mean_n to_o hasten_v their_o damnation_n and_o to_o drench_v the_o deep_a in_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n another_o day_n whereas_o contrariwise_o the_o godly_a ask_v blessing_n of_o god_n he_o in_o mercy_n remove_v this_o curse_n from_o the_o righteous_a man_n good_n and_o make_v his_o blessing_n save_v blessing_n unto_o he_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o will_v be_v bless_v of_o god_n thou_o must_v of_o necessity_n pray_v otherwise_o thy_o blessing_n shall_v be_v accurse_v of_o god_n the_o three_o consideration_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o prayer_n 17._o 1._o pet._n 2.22_o joh._n 17._o be_v the_o example_n of_o adam_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n that_o ever_o have_v live_v who_o example_n impli_v a_o necessity_n of_o imitation_n the_o first_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n notwithstanding_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v and_o no_o doubt_n do_v pray_v for_o perseverance_n and_o continuance_n in_o grace_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o during_o his_o innocence_n he_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o one_o part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v prayer_n as_o be_v say_v before_o wherefore_o if_o adam_n as_o yet_o free_a from_o sin_n and_o all_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n do_v pray_v much_o more_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v upon_o who_o both_o sin_n and_o god_n curse_v have_v take_v such_o fast_a hold_n the_o second_o adam_n christ_n jesus_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n neither_o be_v there_o guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n do_v pray_v and_o need_v to_o pray_v be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o he_o sometime_o continue_v a_o whole_a night_n in_o prayer_n and_o pray_v often_o a_o little_a before_o his_o apprehension_n if_o christ_n do_v pray_v and_o have_v need_v so_o to_o do_v lie_v there_o not_o a_o great_a and_o inevitable_a necessity_n upon_o we_o to_o pray_v final_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n that_o ever_o live_v do_v pray_v and_o need_v to_o pray_v as_o david_n daniel_n paul_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o yet_o the_o best_a of_o we_o can_v compare_v with_o any_o of_o these_o wherefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a necessity_n lie_v upon_o we_o whereby_o we_o must_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o perform_v this_o duty_n of_o prayer_n unto_o god_n especial_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v a_o
other_o our_o friend_n and_o our_o enemy_n 1_o for_o ourselves_o yea_o though_o we_o know_v we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o have_v already_o obtain_v pardon_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o our_o sin_n for_o christ_n teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o make_v this_o prayer_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v their_o sin_n pardon_v before_o but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v needle_n to_o ask_v that_o which_o a_o man_n have_v already_o and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v account_v mockery_n to_o deal_v thus_o with_o god_n this_o knot_n be_v dissolve_v two_o way_n first_o some_o answer_n that_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o ask_v forgiveness_n not_o as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n which_o be_v grant_v already_o to_o god_n child_n but_o as_o it_o come_v to_o we_o and_o as_o we_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o forgiveness_n as_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o meaning_n lord_n give_v i_o grace_v more_o effectual_o to_o apply_v to_o my_o soul_n by_o faith_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n other_o and_o that_o more_o full_o answer_v second_o thus_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o as_o when_o god_n have_v create_v adam_n he_o be_v continual_o present_a with_o he_o by_o his_o providence_n to_o support_v his_o be_v 17.28_o act._n 17.28_o and_o to_o stay_v and_o preserve_v his_o substance_n and_o nature_n which_o providence_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o continual_a creation_n even_o so_o when_o god_n have_v justify_v a_o sinner_n and_o forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n he_o continual_o be_v assistant_n to_o the_o party_n justify_v uphold_v his_o justification_n this_o can_v be_v term_v proper_o a_o second_o justification_n but_o a_o continual_a support_v of_o justification_n no_o more_o than_o preservation_n can_v be_v term_v a_o second_o creation_n now_o further_o this_o continual_a support_v of_o justification_n be_v perform_v by_o the_o application_n of_o the_o salve_n to_o the_o sore_a 53.5_o esay_n 53.5_o of_o christ_n righteousness_n to_o the_o wound_a soul_n of_o the_o sinner_n which_o application_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n principal_o and_o not_o of_o faith_n only_o instrumental_o for_o further_a declaration_n of_o this_o point_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o when_o god_n justifi_v a_o sinner_n he_o give_v he_o whole_a christ_n and_o all_o his_o merit_n for_o ever_o so_o that_o the_o party_n justify_v can_v possible_o lose_v christ_n yet_o the_o lord_n do_v only_o apply_v christ_n and_o his_o merit_n as_o it_o be_v the_o salve_n to_o those_o sin_n and_o sore_n that_o be_v already_o in_o his_o soul_n burst_v out_o for_o the_o which_o he_o seek_v the_o salve_n and_o for_o which_o he_o ask_v pardon_n and_o be_v humble_v afterward_o as_o new_a sin_n and_o sore_n grow_v and_o he_o espi_v they_o feel_v they_o and_o ask_v the_o salve_n for_o they_o the_o lord_n apply_v christ_n the_o salve_n unto_o they_o wherefore_o direct_o and_o full_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n god_n child_n ask_v at_o god_n hand_n that_o which_o they_o have_v not_o for_o although_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n in_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o donation_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o party_n justify_v by_o the_o father_n at_o the_o very_a first_o moment_n of_o justification_n it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v that_o all_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o particular_a application_n of_o christ_n stripe_n to_o the_o sore_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o godly_a man_n sin_n be_v pardon_v or_o forgive_v or_o cure_v or_o cover_v till_o they_o be_v commit_v till_o they_o be_v espy_v till_o the_o pardon_n thereof_o be_v ask_v god_n child_n therefore_o do_v not_o ask_v a_o primarie_a justification_n but_o a_o secondary_a application_n they_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v make_v righteous_a of_o person_n whole_o unrighteous_a but_o to_o be_v make_v righteous_a from_o some_o particular_a unrighteousness_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v desire_v god_n still_o to_o preserve_v his_o be_v by_o daily_a bread_n so_o a_o man_n that_o be_v justify_v desire_v god_n still_o to_o support_v his_o justification_n by_o a_o continual_a application_n of_o the_o salve_n to_o the_o sore_a wherefore_o to_o conclude_v god_n action_n in_o justification_n be_v two_o first_o the_o donation_n and_o gift_n of_o christ_n second_o the_o application_n of_o christ_n give_v as_o a_o chirurgeon_n give_v a_o box_n of_o salve_n to_o a_o wound_a person_n and_o after_o apply_v plaster_n of_o the_o salve_n to_o the_o wound_n as_o they_o break_v out_o in_o the_o body_n and_o sometime_o the_o lord_n do_v defer_v and_o suspend_v the_o application_n of_o the_o plaster_n of_o christ_n blood_n to_o the_o sore_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o he_o may_v provoke_v we_o the_o more_o earnest_o to_o consider_v of_o the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n more_o serious_o to_o bewail_v sin_n more_o careful_o to_o avoid_v future_a sin_n see_v the_o smart_n of_o former_a sin_n be_v so_o sharp_a more_o fervent_o and_o with_o great_a perseverance_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o pardon_v thereof_o and_o with_o great_a joy_n and_o thankfulness_n to_o receive_v the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n from_o our_o gracious_a god_n the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n then_o in_o brief_a be_v thus_o much_o to_o teach_v we_o daily_o to_o observe_v our_o sin_n and_o particular_a lapse_n and_o according_o to_o descend_v to_o a_o particular_a confession_n and_o penitency_n for_o they_o 51._o psal_n 51._o and_o particular_o to_o desire_v forgiveness_n with_o the_o application_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n according_a as_o we_o do_v every_o day_n desire_v bread_n for_o our_o nourishment_n other_o pardon_v for_o other_o 2_o thus_o we_o pray_v forgiveness_n for_o ourselves_o we_o pray_v also_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n for_o other_o yea_o even_o for_o our_o enemy_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n stephen_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o
