watch_v but_o in_o vain_a it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o rise_v up_o early_o to_o go_v to_o bed_v late_o to_o eat_v the_o bread_n of_o carefulness_n you_o shall_v not_o reap_v the_o fruit_n you_o expect_v unless_o god_n be_v with_o your_o labour_n if_o christ_n be_v absent_a the_o disciple_n may_v labour_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o &c_n but_o if_o he_o be_v present_a with_o they_o than_o their_o labour_n prosper_v than_o they_o enclose_v a_o multitude_n of_o fish_n so_o when_o as_o we_o labour_v and_o take_v pain_n and_o think_v to_o be_v strong_a in_o our_o own_o strength_n without_o god_n help_n we_o go_v to_o work_v with_o a_o strong_a key_n which_o will_v not_o open_a but_o if_o god_n hand_n be_v in_o the_o business_n we_o do_v that_o with_o great_a facility_n and_o ease_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o shall_v do_v you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o joseph_n god_n purpose_v to_o make_v he_o a_o great_a man_n see_v with_o what_o facility_n he_o be_v make_v the_o governor_n of_o egypt_n next_o to_o pharaoh_n without_o his_o own_o seek_v and_o beyond_o his_o expectation_n so_o it_o be_v with_o mordecai_n so_o with_o david_n god_n appoint_v to_o make_v they_o great_a and_o therefore_o they_o become_v great_a notwithstanding_o all_o opposition_n on_o the_o contrary_a let_v man_n go_v on_o in_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o he_o shall_v labour_v without_o any_o profit_n at_o all_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o many_o time_n we_o see_v a_o concurrency_n of_o all_o cause_n so_o that_o we_o will_v think_v that_o the_o effect_n must_v needs_o follow_v and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o and_o if_o it_o do_v follow_v we_o have_v no_o comfort_n in_o it_o first_o because_o god_n make_v a_o insutablenesse_n a_o disproportion_n betwixt_o the_o man_n &_o the_o blessing_n as_o between_o judas_n and_o his_o apostleship_n a_o man_n may_v have_v table_n well_o furnish_v riches_n in_o abundance_n a_o wife_n fit_a for_o he_o and_o yet_o have_v no_o comfort_n in_o they_o because_o god_n put_v a_o secret_a disproportion_n betwixt_o he_o and_o they_o second_o though_o there_o be_v a_o concurrency_n of_o thing_n yet_o god_n may_v hinder_v the_o effect_n sometime_o for_o good_a sometime_o for_o evil_a as_o elisha_n his_o servant_n be_v ready_a in_o the_o nick_n when_o the_o shunamite_n come_v to_o beg_v her_o possession_n and_o land_n of_o the_o king_n 2._o king_n 8.5.6_o he_o be_v then_o tell_v the_o king_n how_o elisha_n have_v restore_v her_o son_n to_o life_n which_o further_v her_o suit_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n abraham_n when_o he_o be_v to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n in_o the_o instant_a god_n send_v the_o ram_n tie_v in_o the_o bush_n gen._n 22.13_o so_o saul_n when_o as_o he_o have_v purpose_v to_o kill_v david_n god_n call_v he_o away_o to_o fight_v with_o the_o philistines_n and_o as_o god_n hinder_v the_o effect_n for_o good_a so_o he_o do_v for_o evil_a three_o god_n do_v it_o sometime_o by_o deny_v success_n unto_o the_o cause_n 9.11_o the_o battle_n be_v not_o always_o to_o the_o strong_a when_o there_o be_v cause_n and_o the_o effect_n follow_v not_o it_o be_v because_o god_n do_v dispose_v of_o thing_n at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o can_v turn_v they_o a_o contrary_a way_n health_n and_o comfort_n joy_n and_o delight_n follow_v not_o outward_a blessing_n except_o god_n put_v it_o into_o they_o the_o four_o deceit_n be_v this_o these_o thing_n be_v certain_a and_o present_a 4._o but_o other_o thing_n be_v doubtful_a and_o uncertain_a we_o know_v not_o whether_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o or_o no._n answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o so_o future_a spiritual_a and_o eternal_a thing_n be_v not_o uncertain_a but_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o enjoy_v here_o be_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o here_o enjoy_v as_o also_o we_o ourselves_o be_v subject_a to_o change_n and_o alteration_n we_o be_v as_o man_n on_o the_o sea_n have_v storm_n as_o well_o as_o calm_n wealth_n and_o all_o outward_a blessing_n be_v but_o transitory_a thing_n but_o faith_n and_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v certain_a and_o endure_v for_o ever_o we_o have_v a_o almighty_a and_o unchangeable_a god_n 1.4_o a_o immortal_a incorruptible_a inheritance_n that_o fade_v not_o away_o reserve_v for_o we_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n in_o temporal_a thing_n who_o know_v what_o shall_v be_v to_o morrow_n in_o they_o thou_o can_v not_o boast_v of_o to_o morrow_n 27.1_o but_o as_o for_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o ambiguity_n in_o they_o but_o the_o main_a answer_n that_o i_o give_v be_v that_o here_o we_o must_v use_v our_o faith_n consider_v the_o ground_n on_o which_o faith_n rely_v and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n and_o consequence_n that_o arise_v from_o they_o take_v heed_n to_o they_o and_o be_v not_o deceive_v if_o you_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v the_o rewarder_n of_o all_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o you_o say_v he_o be_v 11.6_o why_o rest_v you_o not_o on_o he_o why_o be_v you_o not_o content_v with_o he_o for_o your_o portion_n why_o think_v you_o not_o he_o sufficient_a if_o the_o creature_n be_v god_n then_o follow_v it_o but_o if_o god_n be_v god_n then_o follow_v he_o and_o be_v satisfy_v with_o he_o labour_v therefore_o for_o faith_n unfeigned_a and_o walk_v according_a to_o it_o if_o then_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o sinful_a to_o seek_v help_n and_o comfort_n from_o any_o creature_n 2._o or_o from_o riches_n and_o to_o think_v that_o they_o can_v make_v we_o live_v more_o comfortable_o hence_o then_o consider_v the_o

we_o make_v the_o creature_n our_o aim_n when_o as_o it_o withdraw_v we_o from_o god_n 1_o tim._n 5.5_o she_o that_o be_v a_o widow_n indeed_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o continue_v in_o supplication_n night_n and_o day_n this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o trust_v in_o god_n not_o in_o the_o creature_n because_o they_o pray_v unto_o he_o consider_v what_o your_o conversation_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o no_o phil._n 3.20_o our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n the_o neglect_v and_o not_o mind_v of_o earthly_a thing_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n show_v he_o not_o to_o be_v of_o a_o earthly_a conversation_n the_o more_o our_o heart_n be_v draw_v from_o god_n the_o more_o be_v they_o fix_v and_o set_v on_o earthly_a thing_n second_o consider_v what_o choice_n you_o make_v when_o as_o these_o thing_n come_v in_o competition_n with_o god_n and_o spiritual_a thing_n what_o bill_n of_o exchange_n do_v you_o make_v 16.9_o do_v you_o make_v you_o friend_n of_o the_o unrighteous_a mammon_n not_o care_v for_o these_o thing_n when_o they_o come_v in_o competition_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n or_o do_v you_o forsake_v god_n and_o stick_v to_o they_o three_o

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

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

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

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

come_v his_o speak_v put_v life_n into_o we_o now_o what_o be_v this_o inward_a speak_v of_o life_n to_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o persuade_v full_o and_o every_o way_n to_o convince_v we_o that_o it_o be_v best_o to_o take_v christ_n to_o set_v to_o a_o holy_a course_n to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n there_o be_v a_o speak_v that_o come_v near_o this_o life_n and_o be_v not_o it_o that_o be_v when_o as_o man_n hear_v and_o understand_v the_o way_n and_o apprehend_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o practise_v they_o not_o here_o be_v a_o proximity_n to_o this_o life_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o this_o life_n let_v a_o man_n come_v so_o near_o as_o that_o he_o think_v he_o act_v it_o yet_o he_o be_v dead_a if_o he_o act_v it_o not_o when_o he_o act_v it_o than_o he_o be_v make_v a_o live_a man_n and_o then_o he_o think_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n be_v evil_a and_o that_o they_o be_v evil_a to_o he_o when_o god_n do_v convince_v we_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v evil_a and_o that_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o we_o than_o we_o live_v and_o not_o before_o a_o man_n have_v a_o business_n to_o do_v if_o all_o be_v do_v but_o one_o thing_n the_o not_o do_v of_o this_o one_o thing_n cross_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o that_o be_v do_v his_o business_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v so_o in_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n if_o a_o man_n have_v many_o offer_n of_o grace_n which_o do_v not_o full_o persuade_v he_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o if_o god_n help_v be_v absent_a but_o when_o once_o he_o speak_v he_o do_v full_o convince_v and_o persuade_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o continue_v as_o satan_n have_v leave_n from_o god_n never_o give_v over_o vex_v man_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o cease_v to_o keep_v we_o in_o good_a thing_n and_o where_o there_o be_v this_o life_n there_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v quest._n but_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v this_o effectual_a persuasion_n wrought_v answ._n i_o answer_v when_o as_o god_n give_v a_o ear_n and_o speak_v a_o voice_n for_o it_o to_o hear_v he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v say_v christ_n let_v he_o hear_v we_o then_o hear_v 11.15_o when_o as_o there_o be_v a_o listen_v and_o yield_a disposition_n wrought_v within_o we_o when_o as_o we_o preach_v there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v hard_a heart_n and_o nothing_o for_o to_o soften_v they_o therefore_o the_o word_n fall_v from_o they_o as_o rain_v from_o a_o stone_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o god_n will_v choose_v he_o fit_v his_o heart_n and_o so_o he_o be_v persuade_v this_o be_v call_v the_o open_n of_o the_o understanding_n luk._n 24.45_o he_o open_v their_o understanding_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v the_o scripture_n when_o we_o speak_v to_o man_n we_o sow_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o fallow_a ground_n which_o will_v bear_v no_o corn_n unless_o god_n plough_v it_o those_o that_o see_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o loaf_n esteem_v they_o not_o 6.26_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v ephe._n 4.18_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n through_o the_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o they_o because_o of_o the_o blindness_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o death_n the_o word_n or_o the_o threaten_n when_o god_n take_v away_o this_o hardness_n they_o be_v fit_a to_o harken_v then_o come_v light_v the_o begin_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o inform_v of_o the_o understanding_n to_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n those_o who_o have_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n if_o he_o speak_v it_o quicken_v they_o it_o be_v the_o inward_a voice_n that_o quicken_v seek_v therefore_o to_o god_n earnest_o that_o christ_n will_v speak_v to_o your_o heart_n you_o hear_v and_o be_v not_o quicken_v because_o he_o speak_v not_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o second_o point_n that_o all_o in_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o life_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o point_n that_o may_v be_v note_v out_o of_o these_o word_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 3._o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n man_n before_o they_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v dead_a christ_n by_o his_o voice_n make_v they_o live_v man_n this_o voice_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o give_v life_n there_o be_v no_o voice_n but_o this_o that_o be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o this_o text._n this_o proposition_n may_v be_v resolve_v into_o two_o part_n first_o nothing_o else_o be_v able_a to_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n second_o this_o be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o faith_n that_o it_o justify_v and_o nothing_o else_o but_o it_o can_v justify_v so_o may_v it_o be_v say_v of_o this_o voice_n that_o nothing_o else_o can_v translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o this_o can_v do_v it_o to_o translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o effectual_o to_o persuade_v and_o change_v the_o heart_n now_o nothing_o else_o can_v thus_o persuade_v and_o alter_v the_o heart_n but_o this_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n god_n himself_o frame_v the_o heart_n it_o be_v as_o a_o curious_a frame_v lock_n none_o can_v pick_v it_o but_o he_o that_o know_v the_o turn_n of_o it_o god_n only_o fit_v the_o persuasion_n to_o the_o turn_n man_n persuasion_n be_v as_o one_o that_o will_v unlock_v a_o lock_n with_o a_o wrong_a key_n god_n only_o can_v persuade_v japheth_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o shem_n 9.27_o minister_n can_v do_v it_o isaiah_n 57.19_o i_o say_v god_n create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v i_o make_v they_o to_o bring_v comfort_n i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n for_o peace_n by_o my_o power_n that_o this_o be_v so_o you_o may_v see_v by_o divers_a reason_n point_n first_o that_o it_o be_v so_o see_v it_o by_o this_o we_o speak_v to_o the_o quick_a often_o time_n they_o believe_v not_o but_o than_o other_o do_v the_o same_o sometime_o believe_v sometime_o not_o if_o man_n be_v the_o sole_a cause_n the_o word_n will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n at_o all_o time_n second_o this_o be_v life_n and_o god_n only_o give_v life_n it_o be_v as_o the_o breathe_n of_o life_n into_o a_o clod_n of_o earth_n it_o require_v a_o almighty_a power_n to_o work_v this_o in_o those_o that_o believe_v ephe._n 1.19.20_o the_o same_o power_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a raise_v we_o up_o it_o be_v a_o almighty_a action_n to_o give_v this_o life_n three_o if_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o christ_n and_o his_o voice_n to_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n he_o shall_v loose_v his_o chief_a sovereignty_n 9.15_o he_o quicken_v who_o he_o will_v he_o have_v compassion_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v compassion_n if_o man_n can_v translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n to_o do_v it_o last_o as_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v it_o so_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o at_o the_o first_o creation_n all_o be_v make_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n he_o say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n 1.3_o and_o there_o be_v light_a let_v he_o say_v to_o any_o man_n follow_v i_o and_o he_o do_v it_o matth._n 9.9_o he_o say_v to_o the_o publican_n sit_v at_o the_o receipt_n of_o custom_n follow_v i_o and_o he_o leave_v all_o and_o rise_v up_o and_o follow_v he_o christ_n speak_v to_o his_o ear_n and_o heart_n make_v he_o to_o follow_v he_o his_o speech_n be_v like_o the_o speech_n of_o elias_n to_o elisha_n he_o follow_v he_o 19.19.20_o and_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o do_v it_o christ_n speak_v we_o can_v but_o follow_v he_o but_o what_o be_v this_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n quest._n answ._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o inward_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o persuade_v man_n effectual_o to_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o effectual_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o who_o ever_o do_v hear_v it_o life_n this_o voice_n renew_v and_o change_v man_n translate_n they_o from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o this_o effectual_a speak_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o propound_v the_o object_n the_o truth_n to_o the_o heart_n second_o in_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o truth_n first_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v

to_o blame_v so_o that_o we_o may_v take_v up_o jeremy's_n complaint_n against_o they_o jerem._n 9.3_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v courage_n for_o the_o truth_n we_o may_v say_v of_o

some_o good_a christian_n have_v fire_n in_o they_o but_o yet_o they_o want_v blow_v now_o what_o argument_n shall_v i_o use_v to_o make_v man_n follow_v the_o truth_n notwithstanding_o these_o

he_o careful_o put_v in_o this_o condition_n see_v that_o he_o pray_v in_o faith_n that_o be_v believe_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o now_o this_o faith_n include_v repentance_n for_o no_o man_n can_v believe_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v hear_v except_o he_o make_v his_o heart_n perfect_a with_o god_n if_o he_o allow_v any_o sin_n in_o himself_o he_o can_v believe_v upon_o any_o good_a ground_n therefore_o when_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v faithful_a that_o also_o be_v include_v we_o must_v regard_v no_o wickedness_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o lord_n hear_v not_o he_o hear_v not_o sinner_n ●8_o so_o that_o this_o you_o must_v remember_v first_o 31_o the_o person_n must_v be_v righteous_a and_o the_o prayer_n must_v be_v fervent_a and_o faithful_a second_o con_v the_o other_o condition_n you_o shall_v hear_v in_o the_o text_n it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n you_o must_v not_o think_v whatsoever_o you_o ask_v if_o you_o ask_v it_o loose_o at_o god_n hand_n that_o it_o shall_v present_o be_v grant_v you_o no_o say_v he_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n if_o you_o ask_v fire_n from_o heaven_n 9.54.55_o that_o be_v not_o according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v they_o that_o ask_v it_o be_v deny_v it_o with_o this_o reason_n you_o know_v not_o what_o you_o ask_v likewise_o to_o ●it_n at_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o at_o his_o left_a in_o heaven_n which_o be_v another_o request_n of_o the_o disciple_n 21.22_o he_o put_v they_o by_o with_o this_o you_o understand_v not_o what_o you_o ask_v of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o con_v three_o we_o must_v ask_v it_o in_o time_n in_o due_a season_n so_o the_o promise_n be_v true_a knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v to_o you_o but_o you_o know_v the_o foolish_a virgin_n knock_v and_o it_o be_v not_o open_v to_o they_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o because_o they_o ask_v when_o the_o time_n be_v pass_v for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a acceptable_a time_n when_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v find_v 6.2_o and_o when_o that_o

time_n to_o every_o man_n which_o be_v the_o acceptable_a time_n the_o day_n of_o grace_n therefore_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o this_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v this_o day_n if_o you_o will_v come_v and_o seek_v unto_o i_o if_o you_o will_v pray_v unto_o i_o i_o will_v hear_v you_o when_o it_o be_v past_a the_o lord_n suffer_v not_o the_o door_n to_o stand_v open_a always_o his_o ear_n be_v not_o always_o open_a therefore_o that_o condition_n must_v be_v careful_o remember_v you_o must_v ask_v in_o time_n it_o be_v a_o condition_n that_o shall_v be_v careful_o think_v on_o by_o we_o for_o for_o the_o most_o part_n we_o fly_v to_o prayer_n as_o joab_n do_v to_o the_o altar_n he_o go_v not_o to_o it_o for_o devotion_n for_o then_o he_o will_v have_v do_v it_o before_o but_o when_o he_o be_v in_o distress_n when_o he_o be_v in_o extremity_n than_o he_o flee_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o know_v what_o success_n he_o have_v by_o it_o it_o save_v not_o his_o life_n so_o we_o go_v not_o to_o prayer_n for_o devotion_n that_o be_v out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n to_o do_v he_o that_o service_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n we_o do_v it_o out_o of_o self_n love_n when_o we_o be_v in_o extremity_n or_o distress_n we_o pass_v the_o acceptable_a time_n he_o require_v and_o we_o go_v to_o he_o in_o a_o time_n of_o our_o own_o for_o there_o be_v god_n time_n and_o there_o be_v our_o own_o time_n god_n time_n be_v to_o come_v to_o he_o when_o we_o may_v do_v he_o service_n in_o our_o youth_n in_o our_o strength_n in_o the_o flower_n of_o our_o grace_n our_o time_n be_v to_o

you_o serve_v in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o see_v if_o they_o can_v help_v you_o the_o four_o and_o last_o condition_n be_v that_o we_o refer_v the_o time_n the_o manner_n con_v the_o measure_n of_o grant_v our_o petition_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o be_v our_o own_o carver_n to_o think_v if_o it_o be_v not_o grant_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n such_o a_o

we_o have_v all_o cause_n to_o stand_v amaze_v at_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v so_o far_o regard_v the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o grant_v they_o such_o a_o charter_n as_o this_o no_o more_o but_o ask_v and_o have_v and_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o pray_v for_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o you_o but_o a_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v secret_o in_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o hear_v it_o this_o be_v too_o

before_o we_o come_v to_o apply_v this_o we_o will_v spend_v a_o little_a time_n in_o endeavour_v to_o convince_v you_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v not_o doubt_v of_o it_o that_o what_o prayer_n you_o make_v to_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v they_o first_o consider_v that_o whatsoever_o prayer_n you_o make_v he_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o he_o obseru_v every_o
