the_o principal_a subject_n of_o our_o devotion_n it_o be_v so_o with_o our_o prayer_n as_o with_o our_o almesaeede_n by_o the_o one_o we_o do_v good_a to_o all_o but_o especial_o to_o the_o

fetch_v even_o from_o the_o close●_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o ground_v upon_o his_o eternal_a purpose_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n say_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o their_o salvation_n which_o god_n have_v never_o promise_v or_o to_o wish_v they_o eternal_a bliss_n who_o he_o have_v assure_v we_o he_o will_v condemn_v by_o way_n of_o answer_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o join_v hand_n with_o they_o can_v they_o but_o show_v i_o who_o these_o be_v but_o where_o be_v the_o counsellor_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o dare_v say_v this_o man_n be_v a_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n

of_o pray_v for_o all_o shall_v not_o be_v enlarge_v to_o high_a and_o low_a good_a or_o bad_a what_o if_o they_o dwell_v in_o darkness_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n what_o if_o their_o religion_n be_v idolatry_n and_o a_o mere_a contradiction_n to_o piety_n the_o more_o misery_n and_o infidelity_n we_o see_v they_o plunge_v in_o the_o more_o do_v christian_a affection_n bound_v we_o to_o pity_v their_o estate_n and_o study_v their_o conversion_n charity_n which_o hope_v all_o thing_n pray_v also_o for_o all_o man_n and_o it_o become_v not_o we_o altogether_o to_o condemn_v any_o man_n who_o repentance_n be_v not_o yet_o cut_v off_o by_o death_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n and_o god_n that_o know_v it_o make_v it_o but_o we_o must_v do_v our_o own_o work_n and_o let_v god_n alone_o with_o he_o now_o if_o any_o shall_v yet_o question_v how_o the_o almighty_a can_v accept_v those_o prayer_n which_o be_v sometime_o against_o his_o will_n though_o not_o with_o our_o

to_o object_n we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o save_v those_o man_n who_o he_o determine_v not_o to_o save_v whereas_o our_o prayer_n abstract_v from_o the_o reprobation_n of_o any_o private_a person_n desire_v no_o more_o than_o in_o possibility_n may_v be_v and_o that_o also_o not_o peremptory_o but_o meek_o prostrate_v our_o will_n and_o request_n to_o his_o pleasure_n and_o gracious_a
