A05061	The chariot and horsemen of Israel A discourse of prayer: shewing what it is, as also the meanes to attaine to the practise of it. An exercise so rare in the world, and yet so requisite, as few vse it aright, and none may omit it. By Henry Langley, minister of the Word of God, at Treswell in the county of Nottingham.	Langley, Henry, d. 1636.	1616 (1616)	STC 15202; ESTC S108258	40,085	136

things are our obiect so all good meanes IV. Lastly as all good things so a blessing in the getting keeping and vsing of them And all these are our obiect as our inheritance For nothing can wee desire of the Lord but our inheritance Hence ariseth a speciall comfort in prayer For haue wee an inheritance Then whatsoeuer we aske is ours before as we may see in the Lords Prayer where we are taught to say Giue vs this day our daily bread When we pray we aske our pension Our seuerall wants are so many pay-daies Many will pray willingly when they need nothing but in a strait they can hardly bee drawne to the Lord. Alas they mis-conceiue of prayer wee can neuer pray more comfortably then in a want For then and not before commeth the promise in force Call vpon mee in the euill day saith the Lord h Ps 50. â— I will deliuer thee Marke the meanes and the time must both concurre If wee pray not for deliuerance wee omit the meanes And if it be not the day of trouble when we pray we mistake the time So Psalm 102.17 Luk. 1.53 Lastly These things are our obiects I. Not in their purchase For so are they the obiect of Christ in his humiliation II. Nor in their receiuing at the hands of the Father for vs For so they respect Christ in his exaltation III. Nor yet in their bestowing For so they are the obiect of Christs intercession IV. But in our receiuing of them For we do not purchase them but Christ our Sacrifice nor receiue them immediately but Christ our Head nor obtaine the bestowing of them but Christ our High-Priest ouer the house of God Onely wee vse the meanes on our parts required in dutie Â§. 2. Personall referred to three heads 1. For whom The Personall Obiects follow which may bee referred to three heads I. For whom we are to pray II. Through whom we are to pray III. To whom we are to pray The Persons for whom are I. Our selues II. Or others And they are all men I exhort therefore saith the Apostle i 1. Tim. 2.1 that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giuing of thankes bee made for all men That is alwaies excepted whom the Scriptures haue else-where excepted And they are In whole I. Of the liuing Such as sinne against the Holy Ghost As the Apostle aduiseth vs k 1. Ioh. 5.16 If any man see his brother sinne a sinne not vnto death he shall aske and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death There is a sin vnto death I do not say that he shall pray for it II. The Dead are not to bee prayed for Because I. There is no command for it and consequently no promise II. Wee haue no example in all the Scriptures III. Salomon saith peremptorily l Eccles 9.6 that they haue no portion of all that is done vnder the Sun IV. After death there is no change eyther from Hell to Heauen or from Heauen to Hell As Abraham telleth Diues And Diues desireth not that Lazarus might be sent to his brethren m Luk. 16.27.28 to certifie them where hee was to the end they might pray for his deliuerance but to warne them because they had yet time least they came into that place of torment Againe the persons excepted in part are men so farre as their purposes plots and practises are derogatorie to Gods glory and against Christian charitie 2. Ioh. 10.12 Â§. 3. Personall referred to three heads 2. Through whom The person through whom wee are to put vp our prayers is Iesus Christ the Mediatour betweene God and man And hee onely is a fit Mediatour as the worke was to be performed I. For man II. To God III. Betweene God and man He was most fit to be the Mediatour for man Because hee was man meet to take his sinne vpon him and God able to discharge it Man to vndertake his dutie and God able to performe it Hee was the fittest to be Mediatour to God Because he was man borne vnder the Law that could be made subiect to the Law and die a cursed death And God able to adde infinite merite to giue the Lord infinite satisfaction He was the fittest betweene God and man Because I. Being God he could not but respect Gods glorie Being man hee could not but bee touched with the feeling of mans miserie II. Being God he hath free accesse to God being man wee haue free accesse to him III. Being God he could preuaile with God being man we can preuaile with him God will deny him nothing hee will deny his nothing It was meet saith Augustine n Tom. 1. confess 10. c. 42. Mediator autem inter DeuÌ„ homines oportebat vt haberet aliquid simile Deo aliquid simile hominibus ne in vtroque similis hominibus longÃ¨ esset Ã Deo aut in vtroque similis Deo longÃ¨ esset ab hominibus atque ita Mediator non esset that the Mediator betweene God and men should haue something like God and something like men lest being in both like men he should bee too farre from God or in both like God he were too farre from men and so were not a Mediatour Now wee are to consider touching this Mediatour two things I. His satisfaction II His intercession His Satisfaction was the absolute discharge and infinitely meritorious performance of whatsoeeuer the Law requireth He being obedient to the death euen the cursed death of the Crosse His Intercession is not a petition put vp to the Father as we doe and as he did in the dayes of his flesh but it is his appearing for euer for vs in the sight of God with the merit and worth of his obedience and bloudshed the which speaketh better things then o Heb. 22.24 that of Abel And as Prayer moueth one and preuaileth with him so the sweet sauour of Christ his sacrifice and satisfaction is euer in Gods nostrils as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed Answerably to these two we are to consider two things in whatsoeuer we desire at the Lords hands I. The right we haue to them II. Our receiuing of them The Right wee haue to them commeth by Christ his Sacrifice and Satisfaction But now in Christ Iesus saith the Apostle p Ephe. 2.13 yee who sometimes were farre off are made nigh by the bloud of Christ. His Intercession respecteth the performance of the promises and the personall bestowing of those good things And herein he performeth a double worke I. Hee prayeth for vs Rom. 8.34 II. He prayeth with vs perfecting and perfuming our praiers that they may bee accepted of God his Father and so presenteth them vnto him Reuel 8.3.4 Â§. 4. Personall referred to three heads 3. To whom and that 1. God The Person to whom our prayers must bee directed followeth Touching whom we are to consider two things I. That God is our Obiect II. How God

I. Kingdome which respects the wel-spring and fountaine of all good things II. Power which respects the meanes III. Glory which respects the end For as the Apostle witnesseth Rom. 11.36 Of him there is Kingdome and through him there is power and to him there is glory are al things The Conclusion is in the last word Amen which is as much to say as I. Lord let it be as I haue prayed II. Lord I beleeue it shall be so III. Lord helpe mine vnbeliefe All this as I haue said before is common to all the three diuisions the varietie is onely in the sixe petitions The I. Analysis The First is the common receiued Diuision of them into two threes The First three concerning God The last three our selues The ground of which diuision is not from the Efficient or Author bestowing these blessings For it is one and the same God which halloweth his name sendeth his Kingdome enableth to doe his will giueth bread forgiueth sins and preserueth from euill Nor from our Head containing these good things for vs and communicating them vnto vs For from the fulnesse of one and the same Christ commeth all Neither yet from the finall cause or end either maine for the Lord is glorified in both or subordinate for we are benefitted by both But it proceedeth from the reall subiect or obiect viz the things where-about our praiers in asking and Gods grace in giuing are exercised The first generall branch containing God his I. Name II. Kingdome III. Will. The second our I. Earthly necessaries II. Sinnes committed III. Dangers eminent In the former There is I. The End of all besides God in the 1. Petition II. The subiect of all happines from God in the 2. petition III. The rule of all obedience to bee performed to God in the 3. petition In the latter three there is contained I. The space of repentance in the 4. petition II. The exercise of the grace of repentance in the 5. Petition III. The soueraigne preseruatiue of a Christian from euill after repentance in the 6. petition The II. Analysis I. In the first petition is laid downe the maine end of all to bee aymed at II. In the other fiue is laid downe the meanes consisting in things which doe respect the hallowing of Gods name I. In this world in all the petitions II. In the world to come in the second petition viz. the reuealing the Kingdome of glory All which doe concerne the life of a Christian And that I. Simply II. Respectiuely The things simply concerning the life of a Christian to insist vpon those that respect this life are I. Spirituall II. Temporall The Spirituall are laid downe I. Causiuely in the 2. petition II. Effectiuely in the 3. petition The temporall or earthly are laid downe in the 4. petition The Accidentall are such as doe respect a Christian ouer and besides the simple course of Christianitie and the honest resolution of his owne heart The which are referred to two heads I. Pardon of euils committed in the 5. petition II. Preuention of those whereof he is in danger in the 6. petitioÌ„ Heere before I proceed to the third diuision I would craue leaue to shew my opinion concerning one obseruation vsually collected from the methode of the three last petitions namely that there is in them an inuersion of Christs methode recorded else-where in the Scriptures to wit Mat. 6.33 Seeke yee first the Kingdome of God and his righteousnesse and all these things shall be added vnto you The spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets and I willingly submit my conceit to the learned To shew then what I thinke I finde heere no inuersion For the things which concerne a Christian simply are to bee preferred before those that doe concerne him but respectiuely and accidentally Now in the 2. 3. and 4. petitions are contained those things which concerne him simply In which three petitions that other methode of our Sauiour is most strictly and precisely obserued For what saith he Seeke yee first the Kingdome of God that is laid downe in the 2. petition Thy Kingdome come and his righteousnesse in the 3. petition Thy will bee done For that is the righteousnes of the Kingdome of God and all these things shall be ministred vnto you in the fourth petition Giue vs this day our daily bread Where our Sauior brings a Christian I. To the Graces and Glory of a Christian in the 2. petitioÌ„ II. To the duties of a Christian in the 3. petition III. And at the last to the subiect wherein and time when a Christian is to exercise his graces in the performance of the good workes which his God hath created for him to walke in that with comfort hee may looke for that blessed hope Tit. 2.13 and the glorious appearing of that great God and our Sauiour Iesus Christ Then this poore Christian comming to his calling to exercise these good duties findeth contrary to the exaction of his God and the resolution of his owne heart which was to walke in all the good wayes of his God that when he would doe good Rom. 7. euill is present with him In so much that the good he would doe he doth not but rather the euill which he would not doe that he doth by reason of the Law of sin which remaineth in his members I say this being so Our Sauiour teacheth vs in the next place to pray Forgiue vs our trespasses c. And lastly because when sinne committed is pardoned wee are subiect still to fall in part Satan continuing his malice our Cananitish lusts not being altogether extirpated and rooted out and withal our sufficiency being wholly of God he addeth Lead vs not into tentation but deliuer vs from euill The III. Analysis In the sixe petitions are two things to be considered in generall I. The maine end of all to bee aymed at in the first petition II. The meanes whereby this end is atchieued in the fiue petitions following All which doe concerne the person praying or praied for And in a three-fold respect viz. of I. Our new man II. Our outward man III. Our old man Our new man in the second and third petitions 1. CausiuÃ¨ in the 2. petition 2. EffectiuÃ¨ in the 3. petition Our Outward man in the 4. petition Our old man to wit the remaines of our corruptions in the fifth and sixth petitions and that considered in respect of 1. Sinne committed to be pardoned in the 5. petition 2. Euill eminent to be preuented in the 6. petition To come to a Mathematicall demonstration here is a sphere wherin we may consider I. The Center II. The Lines III. The Circumference The Center is the fourth petition For it is a subiect necessarily to be granted in the first place that a man must liue otherwise hee is not capable of the gracious dealing of the Lord I. In respect of the new man in visiting him with his Kingdome of grace to enable him to walke in the way of obedience to his will through Iesus Christ vnto his Kingdome of glory II. Neither in respect of the old man in pardoning sinne past or preuenting euill to come All which doe inferre that a man must liue The lines are I. Super-circuler aboue the diameter II. Or subcirculer vnder the diamiter The lines aboue the diamiter are the 2. and 3. petitions The lines vnder the diamiter are the 5. and 6. petitions And these doe in opposition answere one another ex diametro The third petition is Thy will be done c. The fifth petition Forgiue vs our trespasses c answereth it on the contrary For these trespasses are disobediences against the will of God by way of omission and commission The second petitioÌ„ is Thy Kingdome come that is the Kingdome of grace in this world and the Kingdome of glory in the world to come The sixth petition answereth it likewise on the contrary Lead vs not into tentation but deliuer vs from euill that is the euill of sinne in this world opposite to the Kingdome of grace and the euill of death in the world to come opposite to the Kingdome of glory The circumference terminating the lines and compassing the Center is the first petition Hallowed bee thy name For the Lord doth send downe his Kingdome for the glory of his name enable vs to do his will for the glory of his name forgiue our sinnes for the glory of his name and deliuer from euill for the glory of his name And to conclude he giueth temporall blessings for the glory of his name 1. TIM 1.17 Now vnto the King eternall immortal inuisible the onely wise God be honour and glory for euer and euer Amen FINIS
