as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o over-living_a god_n say_v i_o will_v so_o read_v the_o scripture_n or_o other_o good_a book_n that_o in_o read_v i_o will_v drink_v in_o the_o matter_n or_o thing_n therein_o present_v and_o have_v my_o heart_n to_o feed_v thereon_o all_o the_o while_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v judge_v of_o every_o part_n of_o holy_a scripture_n according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o faith_n and_o body_n of_o truth_n and_o more_o particular_o touch_v the_o threaten_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o scripture_n we_o must_v note_v they_o be_v always_o to_o be_v understand_v with_o a_o secret_a imply_v condition_n that_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o return_v to_o god_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v inflict_v on_o we_o but_o when_o god_n swear_v to_o his_o threaten_n there_o he_o make_v it_o good_a as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o unbelieve_a israelite_n and_o for_o scripture-promises_a we_o must_v not_o look_v on_o any_o promise_n but_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n in_o who_o alone_o they_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v labour_v after_o the_o believe_a sight_n of_o a_o promise_n which_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o gold_n and_o silver_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v catch_v at_o the_o promise_v have_v a_o right_a to_o they_o in_o christ_n as_o a_o man_n swim_v lay_n hold_v on_o a_o thing_n when_o he_o see_v himself_o in_o danger_n and_o bear_v ourselves_o naked_o on_o they_o as_o a_o swimmer_n upon_o his_o bladder_n and_o for_o this_o get_v a_o through_o belief_n that_o there_o

it_o be_v heavy_a work_n to_o eye_n god_n command_n only_o in_o our_o obedience_n without_o look_v to_o he_o for_o strength_n for_o to_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n god_n never_o intend_v the_o

when_o he_o join_v with_o other_o in_o prayer_n he_o seldom_o be_v see_v or_o hear_v to_o stir_v as_o account_v it_o will_v be_v matter_n of_o disturbance_n and_o he_o will_v be_v sure_a as_o to_o

signify_v his_o dislike_n of_o such_o a_o raise_a voice_n in_o prayer_n as_o may_v be_v distinct_o hear_v any_o further_a than_o that_o room_n or_o place_n where_o those_o that_o join_v in_o prayer_n be_v assemble_v also_o except_o the_o case_n be_v extraordinary_a he_o do_v not_o approve_v of_o make_v long_a prayer_n but_o rather_o more_o frequent_a especial_o in_o and_o with_o a_o family_n lest_o some_o other_o necessary_a duty_n may_v be_v omit_v or_o the_o time_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v spend_v about_o they_o abridge_v and_o more_o particular_o at_o night_n that_o family-duty_n shall_v be_v more_o concise_a lest_o through_o weariness_n servant_n and_o other_o shall_v be_v overtake_v with_o sleep_n and_o he_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o many_o make_v long_a prayer_n and_o multiply_v word_n be_v that_o they_o doubt_v god_n do_v not_o hear_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v pray_v the_o more_o think_v that_o by_o much_o speak_n something_o may_v take_v with_o god_n and_o he_o further_o say_v that_o as_o burnt-offering_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o old_a be_v not_o regard_v any_o further_a than_o they_o typify_v christ_n so_o god_n delight_v not_o in_o the_o outward_a carnal_a performance_n of_o religious_a duty_n nor_o in_o any_o thing_n perform_v only_o by_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v the_o hold_v of_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o petition_n in_o the_o other_o that_o our_o word_n shall_v be_v few_o with_o a_o still_o inward_a composure_n of_o mind_n and_o spirit_n in_o the_o duty_n and_o that_o we_o often_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n furnish_v with_o word_n when_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v want_v and_o that_o we_o never_o pray_v with_o delight_n until_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o prayer_n be_v hear_v and_o will_v be_v answer_v which_o we_o put_v up_o to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o will._n and_o that_o without_o a_o personal_a interest_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o approach_n unto_o god_n if_o our_o person_n be_v not_o in_o he_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o seek_v he_o for_o we_o can_v never_o come_v at_o he_o be_v not_o our_o person_n unite_v to_o he_o and_o as_o to_o his_o own_o experience_n he_o say_v sometime_o i_o find_v i_o be_o exceed_o heartless_a in_o duty_n that_o i_o go_v unto_o it_o as_o one_o altogether_o dead_a yet_o be_v convince_v it_o be_v my_o duty_n i_o speak_v the_o word_n in_o prayer_n and_o doubtless_o such_o word_n where_o there_o be_v a_o strive_v
