only_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v seek_v i_o but_o i_o show_v by_o what_o way_n and_o mean_n they_o ought_v to_o seek_v i_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n that_o my_o speak_n to_o they_o may_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o a_o minister_n come_v in_o god_n name_n to_o put_v you_o upon_o any_o duty_n and_o exhort_v you_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o bare_o tell_v you_o what_o you_o shall_v do_v without_o show_v how_o you_o shall_v do_v it_o where_o you_o shall_v have_v strength_n and_o in_o what_o manner_n you_o shall_v do_v it_o he_o shall_v speak_v in_o vain_a there_o be_v abundance_n of_o sermon_n in_o vain_a when_o only_o good_a thing_n be_v commend_v to_o people_n and_o they_o be_v teach_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v but_o not_o the_o way_n how_o and_o the_o manner_n and_o where_o they_o shall_v have_v strength_n to_o do_v it_o then_o the_o word_n be_v in_o vain_a but_o say_v god_n i_o say_v not_o unto_o you_o in_o vain_a that_o be_v i_o do_v not_o

come_v of_o it_o but_o i_o require_v that_o they_o shall_v seek_v i_o and_o they_o have_v find_v abundance_n of_o good_a by_o seek_v of_o i_o so_o then_o this_o point_n arise_v plain_o out_o of_o the_o word_n when_o god_n require_v a_o people_n to_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v make_v it_o good_a to_o they_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a before_o i_o open_v this_o point_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o scripture_n or_o two_o one_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o another_o in_o the_o new_a deut._n 4.7_o for_o what_o nation_n be_v there_o so_o great_a who_o have_v god_n so_o nigh_o

show_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n people_n the_o privilege_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n and_o the_o eminent_a condition_n they_o be_v in_o god_n be_v nigh_o to_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n they_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o require_v to_o seek_v god_n in_o vain_a so_o matth._n 21.22_o and_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v in_o prayer_n believe_v you_o shall_v receive_v a_o very_a strange_a expression_n here_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o tautology_n one_o will_v think_v that_o it_o have_v be_v large_a enough_o to_o have_v say_v whatsoever_o you_o

whatsoever_o may_v refer_v to_o particular_n every_o particular_a thing_n that_o you_o ask_v you_o shall_v receive_v you_o will_v say_v any_o one_o that_o understand_v reason_n or_o logic_n know_v that_o particular_n be_v include_v in_o the_o general_a but_o there_o be_v this_o illogicall_a reason_n of_o unbelief_n that_o though_o we_o agree_v to_o the_o premise_n in_o general_a yet_o when_o we_o come_v to_o particular_n we_o think_v they_o will_v not_o be_v make_v good_a to_o we_o i_o suppose_v you_o find_v your_o unbelieve_a heart_n so_o irrational_a that_o though_o they_o believe_v the_o general_a promise_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o particular_n and_o you_o can_v but_o say_v that_o such_o a_o particular_a be_v in_o the_o general_a yet_o your_o heart_n will_v not_o come_v up_o to_o it_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v not_o only_o all_o thing_n in_o general_a but_o also_o whatsoever_o in_o particular_a so_o jam._n 5.16_o the_o effectual_a fervent_a prayer_n of_o a_o
