when_o the_o apostle_n after_o christ_n resurrection_n be_v say_v to_o be_v continual_o in_o the_o temple_n blessing_n and_o praise_v god_n luk._n ult_n ult_n as_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v what_o

the_o most_o reasonable_a sense_n to_o have_v pray_v continual_o as_o to_o the_o public_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n thus_o i_o have_v discharge_v myself_o of_o the_o first_o occasion_n of_o my_o

several_a instance_n of_o incomparable_a advantage_n by_o it_o and_o the_o first_o instance_n be_v that_o a_o continual_a attendance_n upon_o such_o office_n be_v a_o continue_a payment_n of_o that_o homage_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o great_a creator_n governor_n and_o preserver_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o imply_v own_v he_o to_o be_v the_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n to_o order_v they_o and_o dispose_v of_o they_o as_o he_o shall_v please_v and_o thereby_o we_o do_v daily_o make_v a_o acknowledge_a dependence_n upon_o his_o providence_n for_o all_o we_o have_v and_o all_o we_o be_v actual_o profess_v to_o god_n honour_n that_o in_o he_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v act_n 17._o and_o that_o from_o he_o descend_v every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n jam._n 1._o whereas_o a_o habitual_a omission_n of_o such_o duty_n among_o all_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o neglect_n may_v be_v recount_v a_o kind_n of_o dethrone_v god_n from_o his_o supreme_a dominion_n and_o be_v interpret_v a_o disclaim_v his_o universal_a sovereignty_n over_o his_o create_a world_n and_o indeed_o no_o small_a degree_n of_o practical_a atheism_n high_o criminal_a and_o dishonourable_a to_o he_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v the_o epicurean_o who_o will_v believe_v the_o beautiful_a model_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o nothing_o but_o the_o casual_a confluence_n of_o atom_n to_o exclude_v the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n and_o the_o stoic_n who_o will_v make_v all_o event_n to_o be_v no_o otherwise_o govern_v but_o by_o the_o necessary_a hit_n and_o connexion_n of_o second_o cause_n which_o they_o call_v fate_n to_o exclude_v a_o providence_n i_o say_v i_o know_v not_o but_o those_o philosopher_n may_v as_o just_o be_v acquit_v for_o the_o error_n of_o their_o speculative_a as_o the_o neglecter_n and_o despiser_n of_o prayer_n may_v be_v excuse_v from_o do_v god_n as_o great_a a_o dishonour_n by_o their_o practical_a atheism_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o any_o man_n that_o serious_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v either_o a_o god_n or_o a_o providence_n shall_v not_o make_v address_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o his_o person_n for_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n and_o the_o devout_a application_n to_o his_o love_n and_o goodness_n for_o their_o own_o safety_n and_o protection_n by_o the_o daily_a tender_a of_o their_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n at_o all_o season_v both_o public_a and_o private_a 2._o the_o second_o instance_n of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o such_o a_o constant_a attendance_n upon_o god_n service_n in_o prayer_n be_v because_o as_o it_o profess_v a_o belief_n of_o so_o it_o make_v and_o give_v a_o continue_a use_n and_o improvement_n to_o that_o very_o considerable_a part_n of_o our_o redemption_n the_o never-ceasing_a intercession_n of_o christ_n who_o now_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n attend_v the_o tender_a of_o man_n petition_n and_o as_o a_o priest_n for_o ever_o to_o be_v daily_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n as_o the_o private_a address_n of_o his_o servant_n so_o also_o the_o conjoin_v supplication_n of_o devout_a assembly_n but_o when_o those_o office_n be_v neglect_v we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o frustrate_v that_o grand_a expedient_a of_o all_o our_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o may_v interpretative_o be_v say_v to_o put_v such_o a_o undervalue_n upon_o it_o as_o to_o be_v think_v guilty_a of_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n of_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n a_o profane_a thing_n and_o of_o do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n heb._n 10._o 29._o all_o which_o three_o terrible_a expression_n of_o

upon_o prayer_n public_o and_o private_o be_v that_o thereby_o we_o be_v continual_o upon_o our_o guard_n against_o those_o army_n of_o temptation_n that_o march_v about_o we_o under_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n which_o be_v continual_o invade_v and_o assault_v our_o innocency_n and_o that_o thereby_o we_o be_v continual_o countermine_v the_o secret_a plot_n and_o stratagem_n of_o our_o own_o deceitful_a lust_n which_o be_v always_o war_a against_o our_o soul_n and_o this_o i_o offer_v not_o only_o as_o prayer_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n in_o general_n but_o as_o they_o be_v real_o effective_a of_o a_o proper_a defence_n against_o the_o temptation_n to_o every_o sin_n in_o particular_a and_o in_o its_o kind_n how_o hardly_o can_v that_o tongue_n
