for_o every_o man_n think_v with_o himself_o change_v of_o time_n may_v come_v and_o what_o shall_v be_v my_o comfort_n what_o shall_v be_v my_o strong_a hold_n at_o that_o time_n do_v thou_o fly_v to_o jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o thy_o succour_n when_o thy_o heart_n be_v deject_v at_o any_o time_n and_o faint_v within_o thou_o from_o which_o fountain_n do_v thou_o fetch_v thy_o comfort_n do_v thou_o fly_v to_o christ_n to_o comfort_v thyself_o in_o he_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o doubtful_a case_n that_o concern_v thou_o as_o much_o as_o thy_o life_n whither_o do_v thou_o go_v for_o

and_o for_o help_v to_o keep_v thyself_o safe_a be_v it_o to_o christ_n or_o to_o somewhat_o else_o my_o belove_a i_o assure_v you_o this_o that_o a_o carnal_a man_n that_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n in_o these_o time_n of_o distress_n know_v not_o whither_o to_o go_v he_o dare_v not_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o he_o fear_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v ask_v he_o upon_o what_o acquaintance_n for_o he_o have_v be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v never_o acquaint_v with_o he_o but_o a_o carnal_a man_n that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n he_o go_v to_o his_o muse_n he_o go_v to_o his_o farm_n he_o go_v to_o his_o bush_n as_o the_o hunt_a hare_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v to_o go_v to_o the_o place_n that_o she_o use_v when_o she_o live_v quiet_a thither_o she_o fly_v when_o she_o know_v not_o how_o to_o escape_v so_o in_o that_o fashion_n it_o be_v with_o man_n look_v what_o thing_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o which_o their_o heart_n have_v recourse_n in_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o what_o their_o haunt_n have_v be_v to_o those_o bush_n they_o fly_v but_o alas_o they_o be_v but_o bush_n such_o as_o will_v not_o defend_v they_o but_o now_o the_o christian_a on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o muse_n the_o farm_n as_o it_o be_v it_o be_v but_o to_o express_v it_o to_o you_o that_o his_o soul_n be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o strong_a hold_n that_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o fly_v unto_o upon_o every_o several_a evil_n upon_o every_o ordinary_a doubt_n upon_o every_o dejection_n discouragement_n and_o faint_v of_o heart_n he_o be_v wont_a to_o fly_v to_o christ_n and_o there_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o find_v comfort_n and_o thither_o he_o go_v in_o time_n of_o great_a difficulty_n in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n and_o there_o he_o find_v comfort_n consider_v if_o he_o be_v thy_o

when_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v take_v away_o yet_o that_o cover_n remain_v safe_a suppose_v thou_o be_v in_o prison_n suppose_v thy_o credit_n be_v take_v away_o i_o mean_v thy_o worldly_a credit_n for_o the_o other_o credit_n can_v be_v take_v away_o from_o any_o man_n that_o have_v christ_n suppose_v thy_o life_n be_v take_v away_o suppose_v thou_o be_v strip_v of_o all_o that_o thou_o have_v yet_o thou_o have_v christ_n for_o thy_o chief_a refuge_n and_o thou_o think_v so_o and_o thy_o heart_n be_v satisfy_v with_o it_o as_o paul_n say_v when_o he_o be_v a_o prisoner_n when_o he_o be_v naked_a when_o he_o be_v destitute_a when_o he_o be_v strip_v of_o all_o yet_o say_v he_o 12._o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v trust_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v yet_o i_o have_v he_o safe_a yet_o my_o

castle_n and_o a_o refuge_n 5_o last_v of_o all_o consider_v who_o thou_o set_v up_o for_o thy_o chief_a commander_n who_o it_o be_v to_o who_o thou_o give_v the_o chief_a command_n in_o thy_o heart_n you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o why_o my_o beloved_a he_o who_o a_o man_n fear_v most_o quest._n and_o love_v most_o answ._n that_o be_v he_o who_o friendship_n above_o all_o other_o he_o will_v least_o loose_v and_o who_o dislike_n and_o separation_n he_o do_v most_o fear_n certain_o he_o will_v be_v most_o obedient_a to_o he_o he_o will_v be_v most_o observant_a of_o he_o be_v thou_o so_o to_o christ_n take_v all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o set_v up_o he_o as_o he_o who_o thou_o most_o fear_v and_o love_v thou_o will_v most_o obey_v he_o so_o again_o he_o who_o thou_o think_v can_v do_v thou_o the_o great_a good_a and_o the_o great_a hurt_n he_o thou_o will_v most_o obey_v if_o thou_o think_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o certain_o than_o thou_o will_v most_o obey_v he_o as_o for_o example_n if_o thou_o look_v to_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n a_o man_n that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n he_o think_v that_o

will_v give_v thou_o all_o the_o riches_n and_o all_o the_o glory_n in_o the_o world_n if_o you_o will_v part_v with_o christ_n consider_v whether_o thy_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o deny_v whatsoever_o he_o offer_v to_o thou_o as_o he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o offer_v that_o which_o will_v be_v most_o suitable_a to_o thy_o disposition_n whether_o thy_o heart_n have_v take_v this_o resolution_n to_o itself_o christ_n be_v my_o chief_a treasure_n i_o will_v part_v with_o all_o therefore_o i_o will_v part_v with_o liberty_n with_o life_n with_o good_n with_o credit_n with_o pleasure_n with_o profit_n with_o whatsoever_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a unto_o i_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v part_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n if_o this_o be_v thy_o heart_n resolution_n and_o mind_n than_o christ_n be_v thy_o chief_a treasure_n that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n 3_o three_o consider_v what_o be_v thy_o chief_a joy_n and_o delight_n what_o be_v thy_o life_n i_o put_v they_o together_o for_o that_o which_o be_v a_o man_n chief_a joy_n indeed_o be_v his_o life_n for_o we_o know_v life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o joy_n that_o the_o heart_n have_v whereby_o it_o be_v nourish_v and_o feed_v as_o it_o be_v for_o life_n be_v not_o to_o have_v body_n and_o soul_n join_v together_o to_o be_v a_o live_a man_n in_o that_o sense_n we_o usual_o take_v life_n for_o if_o that_o be_v life_n than_o those_o in_o hell_n shall_v not_o be_v say_v to_o die_v the_o death_n for_o you_o know_v in_o hell_n there_o be_v a_o conjunction_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o yet_o man_n be_v not_o say_v to_o live_v there_o for_o it_o be_v death_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o indeed_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v something_o a_o man_n heart_n cleave_v unto_o wherein_o he_o rejoice_v which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o his_o life_n therefore_o look_v as_o the_o soul_n enlivens_fw-la the_o body_n so_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o present_a thing_n which_o he_o reckon_v his_o joy_n that_o be_v his_o life_n enliven_v his_o soul_n he_o can_v live_v without_o they_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v thy_o chief_a joy_n thou_o will_v find_v this_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o live_v without_o he_o as_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o say_v of_o their_o delight_n such_o a_o man_n can_v live_v without_o such_o a_o thing_n so_o it_o be_v true_a of_o every_o man_n that_o have_v take_v christ_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o live_v without_o he_o this_o life_n be_v no_o life_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o separation_n between_o thou_o and_o christ_n if_o a_o man_n conscience_n be_v as_o it_o be_v cloud_v for_o a_o time_n he_o find_v no_o rest_n he_o do_v as_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o canticle_n 6._o she_o seek_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o give_v herself_o no_o rest_n till_o she_o find_v he_o and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v he_o who_o her_o soul_n love_v so_o you_o shall_v find_v belove_v whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o your_o soul_n love_n whatsoever_o you_o make_v your_o chief_a joy_n you_o will_v take_v no_o rest_n but_o as_o far_o as_o you_o love_v and_o enjoy_v it_o therefore_o for_o the_o find_n of_o this_o whether_o christ_n be_v thy_o life_n and_o thy_o chief_a joy_n consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o thy_o thought_n feed_v upon_o every_o wicked_a man_n every_o man_n that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n there_o be_v something_o that_o his_o thought_n feed_v upon_o some_o thing_n there_o be_v in_o contemplation_n of_o which_o the_o soul_n so_o lace_v itself_o some_o pleasure_n that_o be_v past_a present_a or_o to_o come_v the_o very_a think_v of_o these_o be_v the_o great_a joy_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o roll_n they_o under_o his_o tongue_n even_o as_o a_o servant_n that_o have_v get_v some_o dainty_a bit_n out_o of_o his_o master_n presence_n and_o eat_v it_o in_o a_o corner_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n have_v out_o of_o christ_n some_o secret_a some_o steal_v some_o unlawful_a delight_n that_o it_o feed_v upon_o and_o delight_n in_o consider_v therefore_o well_o with_o thyself_o what_o breakfast_n thy_o morning_n thought_n have_v that_o i_o may_v so_o say_v what_o breakfast_n they_o have_v every_o morning_n what_o be_v that_o pabulum_fw-la that_o food_n of_o thy_o soul_n wherewith_o thy_o thought_n and_o affection_n be_v nourish_v and_o refresh_v from_o day_n to_o day_n whether_o it_o be_v some_o carnal_a pleasure_n some_o reflect_v on_o thy_o state_n upon_o thy_o wealth_n upon_o thy_o friend_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v on_o christ._n see_v as_o david_n exercise_v it_o whether_o be_v they_o thy_o 8._o song_n in_o the_o night_n time_n all_o carnal_a man_n have_v something_o past_o whereby_o they_o comfort_v themselves_o something_o present_a whereby_o they_o cheer_v up_o their_o heart_n something_o to_o come_v something_o in_o hope_n so_o every_o man_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n he_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o meditation_n of_o the_o privilege_n that_o he_o have_v in_o christ_n the_o hope_n of_o god_n favour_n these_o be_v his_o appoint_a food_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o his_o soul_n feed_v on_o in_o secret_a yea_o the_o very_a work_n that_o he_o do_v that_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o hard_a part_n of_o a_o christian_n life_n the_o very_a work_n that_o he_o do_v in_o serve_v the_o lord_n from_o day_n to_o day_n even_o that_o be_v his_o

with_o thyself_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o with_o thou_o whether_o that_o which_o be_v thy_o continual_a feast_n without_o which_o thou_o can_v not_o live_v be_v christ_n or_o the_o assurance_n thou_o

remember_v and_o observe_v the_o condition_n for_o this_o be_v common_o a_o fault_n among_o we_o when_o we_o go_v to_o prayer_n we_o think_v that_o the_o very_o put_v up_o of_o the_o prayer_n will_v do_v it_o no_o there_o be_v more_o require_v than_o so_o as_o it_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o country_n people_n when_o they_o hear_v say_v that_o such_o a_o herb_n be_v good_a for_o such_o a_o disease_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o howsoever_o it_o be_v take_v or_o apply_v it_o will_v heal_v the_o disease_n no_o it_o must_v be_v apply_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n it_o must_v be_v use_v in_o such_o a_o fashion_n so_o it_o be_v with_o prayer_n you_o must_v not_o only_o do_v the_o duty_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o exhort_v you_o to_o it_o not_o only_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o man_n be_v ready_a enough_o to_o do_v that_o especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o distress_n but_o with_o these_o condition_n i_o have_v name_v you_o know_v 31._o gehazi_n when_o he_o have_v get_v the_o staff_n of_o elisha_n he_o go_v to_o the_o child_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o staff_n that_o can_v raise_v the_o child_n from_o death_n to_o life_n there_o be_v something_o more_o require_v so_o in_o prayer_n it_o be_v not_o mere_a prayer_n that_o will_v do_v it_o there_o be_v something_o else_o there_o must_v be_v other_o condition_n that_o must_v be_v observe_v for_o we_o be_v wont_n to_o do_v with_o it_o as_o those_o conjurer_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v with_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n they_o think_v if_o they_o use_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n it_o be_v enough_o but_o you_o know_v what_o answer_n the_o spirit_n give_v they_o 15._o jesus_n we_o know_v and_o paul_n we_o know_v but_o who_o be_v you_o so_o i_o say_v we_o be_v wont_n to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n we_o think_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v our_o request_n and_o that_o be_v all_o no_o there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o require_v you_o must_v make_v your_o request_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o you_o ought_v then_o i_o add_v this_o further_a that_o when_o thou_o make_v they_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n yet_o thou_o must_v not_o think_v to_o be_v hear_v for_o thy_o prayer_n sake_n that_o be_v another_o thing_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o fail_v in_o when_o we_o have_v make_v fervent_a prayer_n and_o have_v be_v importunate_a with_o the_o lord_n we_o think_v now_o sure_o we_o shall_v not_o fail_v no_o you_o must_v know_v this_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o prayer_n but_o to_o the_o person_n pray_v you_o shall_v not_o find_v throughout_o the_o whole_a scripture_n that_o any_o promise_n be_v make_v thus_o because_o we_o pray_v fervent_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v but_o it_o be_v make_v to_o the_o person_n pray_v the_o prayer_n be_v but_o the_o instrument_n but_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o blessing_n be_v convey_v to_o we_o be_v a_o mean_n without_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o party_n a_o cold_a prayer_n so_o there_o be_v no_o neglect_n in_o it_o so_o a_o man_n seek_v the_o lord_n and_o pray_v as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v it_o will_v prevail_v sometime_o as_o well_o as_o a_o fervent_a prayer_n who_o indite_v the_o petition_n who_o make_v the_o prayer_n fervent_a sure_o not_o thyself_o but_o the_o 17._o holy_a ghost_n he_o make_v request_n in_o we_o sometime_o he_o make_v thou_o more_o fervent_a he_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n more_o sometime_o again_o the_o heart_n be_v more_o straighten_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n but_o both_o may_v come_v from_o the_o same_o spirit_n not_o but_o that_o we_o have_v cause_n of_o much_o comfort_n when_o we_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v fervent_o for_o this_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o our_o comfort_n that_o when_o we_o pray_v fervent_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v dictate_v by_o he_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o our_o prayer_n come_v from_o a_o holy_a fire_n within_o and_o therefore_o fervent_a prayer_n may_v give_v we_o hope_v of_o be_v hear_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o the_o prayer_n but_o because_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n that_o it_o come_v from_o a_o right_a principle_n that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o regenerate_a part_n and_o be_v make_v by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v not_o the_o very_a fervency_n that_o prevail_v and_o therefore_o when_o you_o hear_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v ready_a to_o hear_v i_o say_v make_v that_o use_n of_o it_o be_v fervent_a in_o this_o duty_n remember_v the_o condition_n and_o yet_o withal_o know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o hear_v for_o the_o very_a prayer_n sake_n but_o for_o jesus_n christ_n his_o sake_n he_o make_v every_o prayer_n acceptable_a he_o mingle_v they_o with_o his_o sweet_a odour_n and_o if_o you_o object_n object_n o_o but_o i_o be_o a_o man_n full_a of_o infirmity_n you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v answer_v in_o the_o five_o of_o answ._n james_n say_v he_o 17._o eliah_n when_o he_o be_v hear_v he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o a_o man_n subject_n to_o passion_n and_o to_o the_o like_a passion_n that_o we_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v do_v not_o think_v that_o eliah_n be_v therefore_o hear_v because_o he_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a prophet_n for_o it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o he_o and_o he_o come_v and_o urge_v that_o promise_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n hear_v he_o so_o say_v he_o shall_v every_o one_o of_o you_o if_o you_o have_v the_o promise_n you_o may_v go_v and_o urge_v it_o as_o well_o as_o eliah_n do_v though_o you_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n eliah_n be_v even_o so_o you_o know_v there_o be_v infirmity_n and_o passion_n express_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o it_o to_o be_v freqvent_n and_o fervent_a in_o this_o duty_n since_o we_o have_v such_o a_o promise_n second_o 2._o if_o we_o have_v such_o a_o promise_n than_o we_o shall_v learn_v hence_o when_o we_o have_v put_v up_o our_o prayer_n at_o any_o time_n to_o make_v more_o account_n of_o they_o than_o we_o do_v for_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o most_o part_n for_o fashion_n sake_n many_o a_o man_n say_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o will_v seek_v the_o lord_n if_o it_o do_v i_o no_o

make_v that_o account_n of_o they_o as_o we_o ought_v we_o think_v not_o with_o ourselves_o that_o the_o prayer_n that_o we_o make_v be_v sure_o hear_v there_o be_v many_o evidence_n of_o it_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o we_o seek_v the_o lord_n we_o do_v it_o so_o remissly_a that_o we_o have_v scarce_o leisure_n to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o our_o prayer_n we_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o
