you_o will_v say_v i_o doubt_v not_o of_o that_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o he_o hear_v i_o quest._n and_o understand_v i_o well_o enough_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o grant_v the_o thing_n i_o pray_v for_o answ._n you_o shall_v see_v these_o 2_o reason_n in_o the_o 7._o mat._n where_o our_o saviour_n urge_v this_o very_a point_n that_o we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n from_o the_o 7._o verse_n downward_o ask_v say_v he_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o you_o here_o be_v the_o promise_n for_o he_o back_v it_o with_o these_o 2._o reason_n every_o one_o that_o ask_v receive_v and_o he_o that_o seek_v find_v and_o to_o he_o that_o knock_v it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o have_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o you_o shall_v believe_v it_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o ask_v and_o have_v for_o say_v he_o all_o that_o ever_o ask_v have_v obtain_v all_o that_o ever_o have_v seek_v have_v find_v all_o that_o ever_o have_v knock_v it_o have_v be_v open_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v look_v through_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n &_o see_v what_o prayer_n ever_o have_v be_v make_v to_o he_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o prayer_n mention_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n but_o it_o have_v be_v hear_v now_o when_o we_o have_v such_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n it_o be_v a_o strong_a reason_n when_o it_o be_v say_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o pray_v but_o be_v hear_v why_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v many_o pray_v that_o be_v not_o hear_v quest._n do_v not_o david_n pray_v for_o his_o child_n and_o be_v not_o hear_v do_v not_o paul_n pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o such_o a_o temptation_n and_o be_v not_o hear_v answ._n my_o belove_a it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v not_o hear_v for_o the_o particular_a but_o yet_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o david_n be_v hear_v at_o that_o time_n though_o i_o say_v not_o in_o the_o particular_a for_o though_o his_o child_n be_v take_v away_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v the_o lord_n give_v he_o a_o child_n of_o the_o same_o woman_n with_o much_o more_o advantage_n he_o give_v he_o a_o child_n that_o be_v legitimate_a which_o this_o be_v not_o he_o give_v he_o a_o child_n that_o exceed_v for_o wisdom_n solomon_n be_v the_o child_n that_o he_o have_v so_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v hear_v he_o and_o give_v he_o this_o answer_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v to_o he_o david_n i_o have_v hear_v thou_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v exceed_o importunate_a thou_o shall_v not_o have_v this_o but_o thou_o shall_v have_v another_o child_n which_o shall_v be_v better_o and_o so_o he_o say_v unto_o paul_n 2_o cor._n 12._o christ_n reveal_v this_o unto_o he_o paul_n say_v he_o though_o i_o grant_v thou_o not_o this_o particular_a request_n in_o the_o manner_n that_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o to_o take_v away_o the_o prick_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o thou_o be_v trouble_v with_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a gainer_n by_o it_o thou_o have_v better_o have_v it_o than_o want_v it_o when_o paul_n understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o medicine_n and_o not_o a_o poison_n as_o he_o take_v it_o to_o be_v he_o be_v content_a and_o resolve_v in_o it_o and_o a_o man_n resolve_v not_o except_o he_o be_v a_o gainer_n he_o see_v that_o god_n power_n be_v manifest_a in_o his_o weakness_n and_o he_o see_v himself_o humble_v by_o it_o and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o god_n gain_v glory_n and_o himself_o humiliation_n by_o it_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v deny_v in_o it_o so_o i_o say_v whosoever_o ask_v find_v you_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o example_n but_o that_o whosoever_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o he_o ought_v he_o be_v certain_o hear_v or_o else_o he_o have_v somewhat_o that_o be_v better_o grant_v to_o he_o instead_o of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n that_o be_v use_v here_o 7.9.10.11_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o what_o man_n among_o you_o if_o his_o son_n ask_v bread_n will_v give_v he_o a_o stone_n or_o if_o he_o ask_v a_o fish_n will_v give_v he_o a_o serpent_n if_o you_o then_o that_o be_v evil_a know_v how_o to_o give_v good_a thing_n to_o your_o child_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v good_a thing_n to_o they_o which_o ask_v he_o say_v he_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o persuade_v yourselves_o of_o this_o truth_n because_o you_o know_v not_o the_o father_n for_o he_o dwell_v in_o light_n inaccessible_a you_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o he_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o will_v help_v you_o out_o with_o a_o argument_n that_o you_o better_o understand_v even_o upon_o earth_n say_v he_o take_v but_o a_o father_n here_o a_o father_n that_o be_v ill_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o goodness_n father_n have_v but_o a_o drop_n but_o a_o spark_n of_o mercy_n in_o they_o whereas_o the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o mercy_n as_o the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o light_n he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o comfort_n yet_o say_v he_o this_o father_n when_o his_o son_n come_v to_o ask_v he_o bread_n he_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v it_o he_o he_o be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o he_o do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v as_o true_a a_o father_n as_o he_o that_o he_o love_v you_o as_o well_o as_o he_o who_o compassion_n and_o pity_n be_v much_o great_a do_v you_o not_o think_v he_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v his_o child_n when_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o o_o this_o be_v a_o strong_a and_o unanswerable_a reason_n and_o this_o you_o see_v be_v back_v in_o 16_o joh._n 27._o you_o see_v there_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n how_o it_o be_v express_v to_o we_o i_o say_v not_o unto_o you_o that_o i_o will_v ask_v the_o father_n say_v he_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o mark_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v let_v this_o be_v one_o ground_n to_o you_o to_o think_v your_o petition_n shall_v be_v grant_v and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o grant_v for_o my_o sake_n for_o say_v he_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o and_o have_v a_o great_a affection_n to_o you_o that_o be_v in_o natural_a parent_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a affection_n to_o their_o child_n so_o if_o i_o be_v not_o immediate_o to_o present_v your_o petition_n though_o that_o be_v not_o exclude_v yet_o say_v he_o the_o father_n have_v such_o a_o affection_n to_o you_o that_o he_o can_v choose_v but_o hear_v you_o i_o say_v not_o say_v he_o that_o i_o will_v ask_v the_o father_n for_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n which_o this_o promise_n be_v there_o back_v with_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n that_o he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o deny_v we_o even_o for_o that_o affection_n that_o he_o bear_v to_o we_o we_o will_v add_v a_o three_o reason_n that_o we_o meet_v here_o in_o the_o same_o chap._n 16._o john_n 23._o in_o that_o day_n you_o shall_v ask_v in_o my_o name_n very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o you_o shall_v ask_v the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n and_o he_o will_v give_v it_o you_o it_o be_v bring_v in_o upon_o this_o occasion_n when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v to_o go_v from_o his_o disciple_n they_o
