So if we ask seek and knock he is faithful to give to be found and to open If we desire his presence he is faithful to afford it He that hath promised Jer. 29. 13. that we shall find him when we shall search for him with all our heart is faithful to perform it And how should Jesus Christ be a merciful and faithful high Priest as he is stiled Heb. 2. 17.

I would have been your Portion but you made light of me I would have been a Father and a Friend to you and a Husband too but you would not carry your selves like Children to me nor friendly to me nor Spouse-ike to me And Christ I fear will have cause to say of many I would have been with you as a prophet to teach you but you desired not the knowledge of my wayes Joh. 21. 14. I would have been with you as a Priest to have offered 〈◊〉 incense with your Prayers and to have made your spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God but you would not yray nor offer up any spiritual sacrifice unto God You would not come unto me Joh. 5. 40. nor unto God by me I would have covered you with my righteousness but you would not put it on you went about to establish your own righteousness and would not submit to Gods Rom. 10. 3.

I would have been with you as a King but you would not that I should Reign over you Luke 19. 14.

I would have perswaded you to rejoyce in Christ Jesus but you would rejoyce in a thing of nought Amos 6 13. What further shall I say to move and perswade you to get God to be with you to get God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost to be with you for there is a presence of each Of the Father 2 Cor. 6. 16. John 14. 23. Of the Son Matth. 28. 20. John 14. 23. And of the Holy Ghost John 14. 6 17. 1. Enemies will be with you whether you will or no You have many enemies and therefore need one friend Do not think your warfare will be at an end while you live here Assure your selves you will be set upon and if you have not a God with you you will certainly be overcome you will be snared and taken and carried away captive First The Devil is with you and he is with you as a roaring Lion 1 Pet. 5. 18. ready to tear you in pieces and none but God can deliver you What will you do when the Devil is with you if God be not with you to help you Whither will the Devil drive you if God do not stop him If God do not stand in the way and hedge up the way with thornes How did the Swine run when the Devil did enter into them they stopt not till they were choaked and drowned in the Sea What work will the Devil make if God be not with us to deliver us What work did he make with our first Parents Gen. 3. 1. and with David 1 Chron. 21. 1. and with Judas John 13. 2 27. Such work will he make with us if God be not with us Therefore what ever you do get God to be with you Secondly The world is with you and 't is a bewitching ensnaring and mischeiving world They that follow after mischief draw nigh Psal. 119. 150. and when they draw nigh what will you do if God be not nigh too The world was with Demas and for want of Gods presence with him what work it made with him you may see 2 Tim. 4. 10. It made him apostatize It was also with the young man in the Gospel and what work it made with him see Matth. 19. 22. It made him turn his back upon Christ and eternal life It was with Gehazi and what work it made with him see 2 King 5. 22. It made him tell lye upon lye and all this for want of Gods presence with them The world with its three great Commanders the lust of the eye the lust of the flesh and the pride of life was with Joseph and Moses and set upon them but could not harm them because God was with them The lust of the flesh viz. carnal pleasure could not harm Joseph because God was with them Gen. 39. 8 9.

World and Devil could not harm us were it not for this This made Paul cry out Oh wretched man Rom. 7. 24. Had it not been for Jesus Christ he had been overcome by it 2. Motive God is ready at a call to be with you Psal. 50. 15. Call upon me and I will deliver thee As ready to be with you as Jonathan's Armor-bearer was to be with him 1 Sam. 14. 7. Behold saith he to Jonathan I am with thee according to thy heart So will God say much more if thou desire it Behold I am with thee according to thy hearts desire As ready to be with you in your war with the world sin and the Devil as ever Jehosaphat was to be with Ahab in his war with the King of Syria I am as thou art said Jehosaphat to Ahab and I will be with thee in the war 2 Chron. 18. 3. So will God say to thee if thou say to hi as Ahab said to Jehosaphat wilt thou go with me to Ramoth Gilead So if thou say to God Lord wilt thou go with me against the world flesh and Devil
