will_v thus_o lavish_a out_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v not_o only_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n to_o bestow_v they_o upon_o his_o lust_n but_o he_o may_v pray_v even_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o heaven_n to_o bestow_v they_o upon_o his_o lust_n he_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o bestow_v they_o upon_o his_o lust_n he_o may_v pray_v for_o pure_a ordinance_n and_o bestow_v they_o upon_o filthy_a lust_n yea_o i_o think_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v for_o grace_n and_o bestow_v that_o upon_o his_o lust_n not_o that_o grace_n itself_o can_v be_v turn_v into_o lust_n but_o there_o be_v a_o depth_n of_o sinfulness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n which_o will_v put_v the_o best_a thing_n to_o the_o worst_a use_n however_o the_o apostle_n be_v clear_a that_o good_a thing_n may_v be_v put_v to_o very_o bad_a use_n while_o he_o say_v you_o ask_v that_o you_o may_v consume_v it_o on_o your_o

spiritual_a as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v while_o your_o heart_n cleave_v to_o your_o worldly_a interest_n you_o commit_v adultery_n with_o the_o world_n and_o go_v a_o whore_v from_o christ_n for_o

of_o this_o say_v the_o apostle_n consider_v what_o you_o do_v know_v you_o not_o that_o the_o friendship_n of_o the_o world_n be_v enmity_n with_o god_n yes_o we_o know_v this_o very_a well_o but_o
