A96435	Abraham's humble intercession for Sodom, and the Lord's gracious concessions in answer thereunto containing sundry meditations upon Gen. XVIII. from ver. XXIII. to the end of the chapter. Wherein many things are spoken of concerning believers drawing near to God, and the efficacy of their prayers; and how they may be princes and prevailers with God, and with what boldness they may come before him, and what ground they may get of him by their prayers, and what sweet communing they have with him. With sundry other things worthy of our most serious thoughts, helping us to be more spiritual and heavenly, which may prepare us for that everlasting communion and fellowship that we hope to arrive at, and come to in a blessed state of glory by Jesus Christ. By Samuel Whiting, Pastor of the Church of Christ at Lyn in N.E. [Three lines of Scripture texts]	Whiting, Samuel, 1597-1679.	1666 (1666)	Wing W2022; ESTC W15363	173,427	374

something_o may_v come_v or_o have_v come_v from_o we_o for_o which_o god_n may_v be_v angry_a with_o our_o prayer_n and_o when_o god_n have_v any_o occasion_n give_v he_o to_o be_v angry_a we_o have_v cause_n to_o fall_v down_o humble_o before_o he_o when_o a_o king_n be_v just_o angry_a the_o subject_a stoop_n and_o abase_v himself_o if_o a_o father_n be_v angry_a all_o the_o child_n carry_v themselves_o submissive_o so_o shall_v we_o it_o be_v say_v of_o henry_n the_o eight_o king_n of_o england_n that_o when_o he_o be_v angry_a as_o he_o often_o be_v the_o chief_a peer_n of_o his_o kingdom_n will_v stoop_v humble_o to_o he_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o stoop_v humble_o to_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o be_v angry_a at_o our_o prayer_n who_o be_v the_o great_a king_n over_o all_o the_o earth_n 3._o we_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o rom._n 7.21_o when_o i_o will_v do_v good_a evil_a be_v present_a with_o i_o when_o we_o go_v to_o pray_v it_o be_v good_a that_o we_o do_v and_o a_o command_v duty_n but_o even_o then_o evil_o be_v present_a with_o we_o and_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_v that_o something_o may_v or_o have_v break_v from_o we_o in_o the_o duty_n for_o which_o god_n may_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o when_o a_o man_n think_v to_o go_v a_o right_a step_n he_o take_v a_o wry_a step_n that_o make_v he_o stumble_v and_o fall_v when_o a_o man_n will_v give_v a_o right_a stroke_n his_o instrument_n sometime_o slip_v and_o the_o stroke_n be_v wrong_n when_o a_o man_n will_v make_v good_a music_n a_o string_n break_v or_o a_o peg_n slip_v and_o make_v a_o harsh_a sound_n so_o it_o be_v when_o we_o pray_v and_o will_v tread_v right_a in_o the_o duty_n and_o strike_v a_o right_a stroke_n and_o make_v a_o pleasant_a sound_n like_o melody_n in_o the_o lord_n ear_n than_o we_o tread_v awry_o and_o strike_v amiss_o and_o make_v such_o a_o harsh_a sound_n that_o god_n be_v not_o delight_v but_o angry_a with_o our_o prayer_n 4._o we_o see_v that_o if_o we_o be_v afraid_a that_o god_n may_v be_v angry_a with_o our_o prayer_n what_o cause_n then_o have_v we_o to_o fear_v that_o he_o will_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o for_o our_o other_o sin_n that_o we_o do_v too_o often_o provoke_v he_o with_o if_o he_o have_v so_o much_o against_o we_o for_o our_o duty_n oh_o what_o have_v he_o then_o against_o we_o for_o our_o other_o evil_n in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n whereby_o he_o be_v displease_v we_o shall_v be_v afraid_a that_o he_o will_v be_v angry_a for_o these_o if_o he_o will_v be_v angry_a with_o wry_a step_n and_o trip_v oh_o how_o angry_a will_v he_o be_v for_o deep_a fall_n and_o great_a provocation_n if_o for_o spot_n we_o may_v fear_v his_o displeasure_n how_o much_o more_o for_o foul_a sin_n a_o schoolmaster_n if_o he_o see_v a_o scholar_n blot_v in_o writing_n he_o will_v be_v angry_a but_o if_o he_o see_v he_o blur_v and_o blot_v his_o hand_n and_o face_n and_o foul_a his_o clothes_n he_o will_v be_v much_o more_o angry_a so_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o his_o anger_n for_o grosser_n evil_n if_o he_o be_v angry_a at_o our_o prayer_n 5._o we_o see_v what_o cause_n we_o have_v to_o

that_o god_n may_v be_v angry_a at_o our_o prayer_n and_o that_o he_o may_v see_v just_a cause_n for_o it_o our_o best_a duty_n be_v defile_v but_o when_o we_o come_v in_o heaven_n there_o will_v be_v no_o blot_n cleave_v to_o any_o of_o our_o service_n we_o shall_v give_v he_o no_o cause_n to_o be_v angry_a nor_o shall_v we_o fear_v his_o anger_n to_o be_v express_v towards_o we_o here_o in_o

there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o wemme_n in_o our_o garment_n not_o a_o blemish_n in_o our_o face_n not_o a_o speck_n in_o our_o service_n not_o any_o blot_n cleave_v to_o our_o heart_n and_o hand_n there_o will_v be_v no_o deformity_n no_o infirmity_n no_o scar_n no_o scurf_n no_o mole_n nor_o any_o the_o least_o defilement_n show_v itself_o but_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o glorious_a within_o

that_o god_n will_v be_v angry_a with_o our_o prayer_n here_o then_o how_o may_v they_o be_v afraid_a of_o that_o anger_n of_o his_o that_o will_v cast_v they_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n for_o ever_o how_o shall_v such_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v god_n anger_n burn_v hot_a here_o but_o oh_o how_o will_v it_o burn_v in_o hell_n its_o inconceiveable_a unutterable_a we_o

who_o can_v tell_v how_o hot_a hell_n be_v and_o what_o that_o breath_n be_v that_o like_o a_o stream_n of_o brimstone_n kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o it_o 7._o we_o see_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o get_v christ_n to_o bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o our_o holy_a thing_n as_o aaron_n do_v in_o type_n of_o old_a for_o the_o best_a of_o we_o may_v be_v afraid_a that_o god_n may_v be_v angry_a with_o

we_o have_v of_o that_o great_a high_a priest_n to_o bear_v as_o all_o our_o other_o sin_n so_o the_o iniquity_n of_o our_o holy_a thing_n even_o of_o the_o holy_a prayer_n that_o at_o any_o time_n

much_o more_o be_v afraid_a that_o he_o will_v be_v
