shall_v obtain_v nothing_o at_o god_n hand_n not_o as_o though_o any_o man_n can_v pray_v without_o some_o doubt_n and_o unbelief_n but_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n be_v of_o such_o doubt_v which_o reign_v in_o the_o heart_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o text_n also_o our_o saviour_n christ_n require_v faith_n plain_o if_o we_o will_v obtain_v 11.24_o mark_n 11.24_o and_o we_o shall_v obtain_v if_o we_o have_v faith_n now_o we_o must_v always_o remember_v that_o faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o god_n word_n will_n faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o god_n will_n and_o god_n word_n be_v his_o will_n and_o so_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v ground_v upon_o his_o will_n wherefore_o if_o we_o ask_v any_o thing_n in_o faith_n according_a to_o his_o reveal_v will_n we_o shall_v obtain_v 5.14_o 1._o joh._n 5.14_o now_o god_n will_v be_v in_o general_a this_o to_o grant_v we_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a if_o it_o be_v evil_a it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n nor_o promise_n to_o give_v it_o 34.10_o

prayer_n be_v against_o god_n will_n reveal_v second_o it_o be_v a_o temporal_a blessing_n david_n ought_v to_o ask_v it_o conditional_o if_o it_o be_v good_a and_o so_o his_o assurance_n may_v be_v

appear_v therefore_o that_o faith_n be_v requisite_a in_o prayer_n namely_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o do_v assure_v a_o man_n certain_o to_o obtain_v every_o good_a thing_n he_o ask_v 8.32_o faith_n

in_o christ_n jesus_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n be_v also_o assure_v that_o god_n will_v give_v he_o all_o other_o good_a thing_n so_o the_o apostle_n reason_v if_o god_n give_v we_o christ_n how_o shall_v he_o not_o give_v we_o with_o christ_n all_o other_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o we_o so_o christ_n promise_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v bring_v all_o other_o thing_n with_o it_o as_o appurtenance_n this_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o general_a view_n of_o faith_n kingdom_n god_n kingdom_n now_o more_o special_o faith_n be_v support_v by_o one_o argument_n principal_o thou_o be_v kingdom_n which_o may_v be_v frame_v after_o this_o form_n every_o good_a king_n will_v provide_v not_o only_o for_o the_o advauncement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o law_n and_o for_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n but_o also_o for_o the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o his_o subject_n in_o soul_n and_o body_n but_o thou_o lord_n be_v a_o good_a king_n for_o the_o kingdom_n be_v thou_o thou_o therefore_o will_v provide_v etc._n etc._n this_o argument_n do_v either_o direct_o or_o indirect_o confirm_v our_o faith_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o all_o the_o six_o petition_n as_o may_v easy_o be_v perceive_v direct_o it_o confirm_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o second_o but_o indirect_o and_o by_o consequent_a in_o all_o the_o rest_n this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v amplify_v by_o three_o argument_n 1_v it_o be_v a_o powerful_a kingdom_n thou_o be_v power_n 2_o it_o be_v a_o glorious_a kingdom_n thou_o be_v glory_n 3_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a kingdom_n for_o ever_o and_o so_o there_o be_v three_o other_o argument_n whereby_o our_o faith_n be_v support_v for_o obtain_v the_o petition_n the_o second_o argument_n therefore_o which_o be_v take_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v add_v necessary_o as_o a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n which_o may_v be_v oppose_v thus_o kingdom_n power_n of_o god_n kingdom_n though_o god_n be_v a_o king_n yet_o except_o he_o have_v power_n to_o subdue_v his_o enemy_n the_o advauncement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v hinder_v the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v that_o as_o god_n be_v a_o king_n so_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a able_a to_o conquer_v all_o his_o enemy_n that_o shall_v rebel_v against_o he_o and_o so_o this_o argument_n take_v from_o god_n power_n may_v thus_o be_v
