in_o divers_a respect_n discern_v first_o for_o lack_v of_o discern_v in_o all_o the_o carriage_n and_o passage_n of_o their_o life_n you_o know_v a_o fool_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v discern_v

a_o man_n that_o be_v passionate_a in_o this_o respect_n can_v be_v wise_a all_o fool_n be_v passionate_a and_o wicked_a man_n have_v their_o affection_n set_v deep_o on_o somewhat_o else_o beside_o

then_o prayer_n be_v cry_v they_o be_v dart_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v to_o heaven_n it_o be_v say_v christ_n make_v strong_a cry_n in_o extremity_n prayer_n be_v cry_v hence_o i_o observe_v brief_o these_o thing_n that_o god_n suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v into_o extreme_a ill_n even_o to_o the_o gate_n misery_n of_o death_n that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o step_n between_o they_o and_o death_n why_o to_o wean_v they_o perfect_o from_o the_o world_n 1_o to_o make_v they_o more_o thankful_a when_o they_o recover_v for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v so_o sleight_v in_o thanksgiving_n usual_o the_o reason_n be_v they_o do_v not_o conceive_v that_o they_o be_v in_o such_o extreme_a danger_n as_o they_o be_v 3._o likewise_o he_o suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v into_o extreme_a sickness_n that_o he_o may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n for_o it_o be_v his_o do_v there_o be_v no_o second_o cause_n to_o help_v here_o for_o their_o soul_n abhor_v all_o manner_n of_o meat_n and_o they_o be_v even_o at_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n now_o when_o all_o second_o cause_n fail_v than_o god_n be_v exalt_v therefore_o he_o suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v into_o extremity_n the_o great_a the_o malady_n the_o more_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o physician_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o as_o god_n bring_v his_o child_n into_o extremity_n so_o god_n child_n in_o extremity_n they_o cry_v to_o he_o affliction_n extremity_n of_o affliction_n do_v force_v prayer_n in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v i_o early_o when_o all_o second_o cause_n fail_v then_o we_o go_v to_o god_n nature_n therefore_o be_v against_o atheism_n as_o one_o observe_v that_o natural_o man_n run_v to_o god_n in_o extremity_n nature_n lord_n help_v i_o lord_n succour_v i_o so_o especial_o in_o the_o church_n in_o extremity_n god_n people_n cry_v to_o god_n and_o as_o affliction_n so_o particular_o this_o of_o sickness_n of_o body_n drive_v man_n to_o god_n god_n shall_v not_o hear_v of_o we_o many_o time_n unless_o he_o shall_v come_v near_o we_o by_o affliction_n and_o deep_a affliction_n out_o of_o the_o deep_a have_v i_o cry_v affliction_n god_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o deep_a and_o then_o we_o cry_v our_o nature_n be_v so_o naught_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o hear_v of_o we_o as_o i_o say_v unless_o he_o send_v some_o messenger_n after_o we_o some_o affliction_n to_o bring_v we_o home_o as_o absalon_n deal_v by_o joab_n when_o he_o fire_v his_o corn_n in_o the_o gospel_n christ_n have_v never_o hear_v of_o many_o people_n have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o some_o infirmity_n but_o bless_a be_v those_o sickness_n and_o infirmity_n that_o occasion_n we_o to_o go_v to_o god_n that_o make_v we_o cry_v to_o god_n it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o a_o heathen_a we_o be_v best_a when_o we_o be_v weak_a why_o as_o he_o say_v very_o well_o who_o be_v ambitious_a voluptuous_a or_o covetous_a for_o the_o world_n when_o he_o be_v sick_a when_o he_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o these_o thing_n this_o shall_v make_v we_o submit_v more_o meek_o unto_o god_n patient_o when_o we_o be_v under_o his_o hand_n when_o we_o be_v his_o prisoner_n by_o sickness_n when_o he_o cast_v we_o on_o our_o sick_a bed_n because_o god_n be_v work_v our_o good_a he_o be_v draw_v we_o near_o to_o he_o then_o they_o cry_v to_o he_o affliction_n so_o we_o see_v then_o that_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o remedy_n in_o a_o remediless_a estate_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n and_o this_o one_o difference_n between_o a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o another_o in_o extremity_n a_o carnal_a man_n that_o have_v not_o grace_n he_o have_v not_o a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n to_o go_v to_o god_n but_o a_o child_n of_o god_n he_o cry_v to_o god_n he_o have_v acquaintance_n with_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o health_n therefore_o he_o go_v bold_o to_o god_n as_o a_o father_n in_o the_o time_n of_o extremity_n god_n child_n can_v answer_v god_n deal_v for_o as_o he_o bring_v his_o child_n to_o extremity_n when_o there_o be_v no_o second_o cause_n to_o help_v so_o they_o answer_v he_o by_o faith_n in_o extremity_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o trust_v unto_o they_o trust_v he_o when_o there_o be_v no_o physic_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can-charme_n the_o disease_n they_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n to_o answer_v god_n deal_v in_o the_o great_a misery_n as_o job_n faith_n though_o he_o kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o second_o cause_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v delight_n in_o we_o and_o if_o he_o have_v any_o service_n for_o we_o to_o do_v he_o can_v recover_v we_o from_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n nay_o from_o death_n itself_o as_o we_o see_v christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o at_o the_o resurrection_n he_o will_v raise_v we_o from_o death_n much_o more_o can_v he_o raise_v we_o from_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n when_o we_o be_v near_o death_n pray_v therefore_o consider_v that_o pra●er_n be_v a_o remedy_n in_o all_o malady_n in_o a_o remediless_a estate_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n and_o to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o state_n as_o we_o may_v pray_v sin_n what_o state_n be_v that_o first_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v in_o league_n with_o any_o sin_n if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n god_n will_v not_o hear_v my_o prayer_n nay_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v other_o prayer_n for_o we_o oh_o what_o a_o pitiful_a state_n be_v it_o when_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v we_o nor_o other_o for_o we_o pray_v not_o for_o this_o people_n say_v god_n to_o jeremiah_n and_o if_o noah_n daniel_n and_o job_n stand_v before_o i_o they_o shall_v but_o deliver_v their_o own_o soul_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o peremptory_a course_n of_o sin_n and_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v but_o be_v like_o the_o deaf_a adder_n that_o will_v not_o be_v charm_v god_n will_v not_o hear_v prayer_n for_o he_o will_v god_n hear_v a_o rebel_n when_o he_o come_v to_o he_o for_o mercy_n and_o be_v in_o a_o course_n opposite_a to_o god_n will_v as_o if_o a_o traitor_n shall_v come_v to_o sue_v for_o pardon_n with_o a_o dagger_n in_o his_o hand_n which_o be_v to_o increase_v the_o treason_n so_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o god_n and_o cry_n to_o he_o and_o yet_o purpose_v to_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o offer_v violence_n to_o god_n by_o his_o sin_n and_o life_n in_o rebellious_a course_n god_n will_v not_o hear_v his_o prayer_n we_o again_o if_o we_o will_v be_v in_o such_o a_o state_n as_o god_n may_v accept_v we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o he_o let_v we_o hear_v god_n when_o he_o cry_v to_o we_o he_o cry_v to_o we_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n wisdom_n have_v lift_v up_o

those_o that_o do_v not_o attend_v upon_o god_n ordinance_n that_o will_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o devotion_n private_a to_o themselves_o &_o avoid_v the_o public_a ordinance_n that_o fear_v perhaps_o they_o shall_v hear_v somewhat_o that_o will_v awaken_v their_o conscience_n and_o they_o will_v not_o be_v torment_v before_o their_o time_n let_v they_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o terrible_a speech_n of_o solomon_n he_o that_o turn_v his_o ear_n from_o hear_v the_o law_n his_o prayer_n shall_v be_v abominable_a let_v we_o take_v heed_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o
