be_v conversant_a be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_a as_o prayer_n do_v consider_v evil_a pray_v what_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v it_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o complain_v to_o god_n against_o it_o and_o

it_o may_v be_v and_o be_v maintain_v and_o increase_v and_o to_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o all_o in_o which_o description_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o he_o that_o will_v pray_v must_v have_v these_o six_o thing_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o to_o meet_v in_o he_o first_o he_o must_v know_v his_o sin_n for_o as_o no_o man_n will_v beg_v that_o do_v not_o know_v his_o poverty_n either_o in_o truth_n or_o show_v and_o as_o no_o man_n can_v beg_v well_o for_o himself_o who_o do_v not_o know_v the_o particular_a want_n which_o he_o groan_v under_o so_o neither_o will_n nor_o can_v he_o pray_v that_o know_v not_o his_o spiritual_a poverty_n yea_o his_o particular_a sin_n second_o he_o must_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o complaint_n against_o sin_n for_o as_o no_o man_n will_v seek_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o that_o guest_n who_o he_o can_v in_o some_o respect_n or_o other_o with_o a_o free_a spirit_n complain_v against_o so_o neither_o will_v we_o seek_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o

never_o give_v god_n rest_n till_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o he_o and_o seal_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n and_o sanctification_n the_o pardon_n of_o

be_v say_v to_o have_v fellowship_n in_o his_o death_n i_o answer_v for_o three_o cause_n especial_o first_o because_o of_o that_o sacramental_a union_n which_o we_o haâ—e_v with_o christ_n 6._o rom._n 6._o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n baptism_n do_v seal_v unto_o we_o and_o give_v we_o interest_n in_o that_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v in_o his_o death_n for_o as_o the_o dip_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n so_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o water_n now_o do_v signify_v and_o seal_v our_o death_n and_o burial_n with_o christ_n second_o because_o what_o christ_n do_v as_o mediator_n of_o the_o church_n he_o do_v it_o not_o as_o a_o private_a person_n but_o as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o all_o his_o elect_a hence_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v call_v our_o sponsor_n or_o surety_n 7.22_o heb._n 7.22_o for_o as_o the_o debt_n which_o a_o surety_n pay_v he_o pay_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v willing_o make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n but_o for_o the_o party_n also_o for_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v so_o christ_n pay_v for_o us._n three_o because_o when_o we_o true_o turn_v from_o all_o sin_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o do_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n to_o convey_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o so_o in_o all_o distress_n we_o may_v plead_v as_o david_n 119._o psal_n 119._o i_o be_o thou_o save_v i_o for_o i_o do_v put_v my_o trust_n in_o thou_o 9.6_o esa_n 9.6_o so_o god_n do_v make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n of_o whole_a christ_n to_o convey_v he_o unto_o us._n as_o therefore_o we_o account_v to_o have_v right_a to_o that_o which_o be_v give_v we_o as_o free_o and_o as_o full_o as_o if_o we_o have_v purchase_v it_o or_o have_v it_o by_o inheritance_n even_o so_o we_o ascertain_v and_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o christ_n crucify_v with_o all_o his_o benefit_n use_v 1_o this_o therefore_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n both_o to_o procure_v the_o hatred_n and_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o first_o we_o shall_v grow_v in_o eternal_a enmity_n with_o it_o when_o we_o do_v but_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n be_v crucify_v for_o it_o but_o if_o we_o set_v ourselves_o

cause_n of_o this_o the_o first_o be_v ignorance_n for_o as_o the_o eye_n work_v not_o in_o a_o dark_a place_n where_o it_o can_v by_o a_o fit_a conveyance_n receive_v variety_n of_o object_n so_o the_o conscience_n work_v not_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o light_n of_o knowledge_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o direct_v it_o by_o the_o second_o be_v hardness_n of_o heart_n for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a or_o have_v a_o deadened_a or_o astonish_v body_n for_o the_o present_n can_v feel_v any_o order_n or_o disorder_n any_o whip_n lash_n or_o gash_n so_o a_o sear_a crust_v and_o senseless_a conscience_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o curse_a garboil_n in_o the_o soul_n nor_o capable_a of_o any_o orderly_a proceed_n against_o they_o the_o three_o be_v spiritual_a madness_n for_o as_o mad_a man_n can_v keep_v any_o fair_a quarter_n with_o themselves_o much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v wise_o execute_v any_o deputation_n from_o other_o so_o spiritual_o mad_a man_n who_o be_v out_o of_o their_o wit_n with_o self-love_n and_o love_n of_o this_o world_n who_o run_v upon_o the_o pike_n of_o hell-danger_n who_o will_v not_o be_v

the_o last_o be_v pride_n for_o as_o in_o a_o country_n where_o there_o be_v no_o disorder_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o these_o curse_a day_n of_o sin_n for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v there_o be_v no_o assize_n because_o no_o need_n so_o when_o we_o be_v pharisy_n in_o justify_v ourselves_o pride_v our_o heart_n in_o our_o civil_a righteousness_n and_o therefore_o set_v our_o passion_n on_o work_n upon_o whosoever_o shall_v discover_v their_o hellish_a nakedness_n there_o be_v no_o inward_a assize_n because_o as_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o need_n quest_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v see_v these_o thing_n do_v hinder_v it_o how_o may_v i_o further_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o answ_n i_o answer_v as_o in_o general_a we_o must_v strive_v to_o root_v out_o ignorance_n to_o rend_v our_o heart_n to_o come_v unto_o ourselves_o as_o the_o prodigal_a and_o to_o be_v nothing_o yea_o hell_n in_o our_o own_o eye_n so_o in_o particular_a i_o will_v commend_v three_o mean_n to_o this_o end_n especial_o the_o first_o be_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o write_v the_o record_n of_o his_o truth_n in_o our_o mind_n and_o heart_n a_o assize_n can_v be_v keep_v without_o law_n nor_o this_o without_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o if_o once_o we_o can_v get_v the_o law_n write_v in_o our_o mind_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o it_o do_v not_o only_o gild_v our_o understanding_n but_o gore_n our_o heart_n and_o leave_v a_o new_a impression_n of_o holiness_n to_o the_o lord_n then_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o full_a court_n present_o and_o such_o wound_a inditement_n for_o sin_n past_a with_o such_o cry_n out_o for_o the_o psalm_n of_o mercy_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o rest_n till_o we_o have_v roll_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o have_v find_v ourselves_o in_o some_o measure_n seal_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n against_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n the_o second_o mean_n be_v our_o not_o disturb_v the_o court_n but_o suffer_v
conscience_n to_o do_v its_o office_n without_o check_n to_o disturb_v commissioner_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o cuâ—ia_n sedente_fw-la cuâ—ia_n while_o they_o sit_v do_v aggravate_v the_o delinquent_n fault_n and_o hinder_v their_o speed_n in_o the_o business_n so_o be_v it_o in_o our_o not_o suffer_v conscience_n to_o work_v call_v we_o ourselves_o therefore_o from_o all_o the_o employment_n of_o this_o world_n examine_v we_o our_o heart_n on_o our_o bed_n in_o our_o chamber_n and_o be_v still_o and_o then_o if_o our_o conscience_n acquit_v we_o from_o all_o wilful_a sin_n

popular_a and_o heady_a tumult_n you_o know_v it_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o a_o wise_a man_n can_v be_v hear_v as_o therefore_o when_o one_o persuade_v lycurgus_n that_o the_o government_n may_v be_v commit_v to_o the_o people_n he_o answer_v do_v thou_o first_o make_v trial_n in_o thy_o house_n give_v thy_o servant_n the_o rule_n so_o let_v we_o say_v to_o the_o devil_n labour_v the_o
