ought_v not_o to_o be_v refuse_v if_o it_o be_v receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n for_o it_o be_v sanctify_v by_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o you_o take_v common_a blessing_n every_o day_n and_o do_v not_o seek_v they_o at_o the_o lord_n hand_n before_o you_o take_v they_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v unto_o you_o you_o have_v not_o a_o lawful_a use_n of_o they_o you_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o they_o beside_o my_o belove_a it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n command_v in_o every_o thing_n make_v your_o request_n 3_o know_v in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v whensoever_o you_o need_v any_o thing_n make_v your_o request_n know_v so_o in_o every_o thing_n give_v thanks_n and_o therefore_o the_o least_o we_o can_v do_v when_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v need_v so_o many_o mercy_n be_v to_o give_v thanks_n and_o to_o seek_v to_o he_o so_o often_o from_o day_n to_o day_n moreover_o do_v not_o our_o heart_n need_v it_o be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o order_n be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o contract_v hardness_n be_v they_o not_o ready_a to_o go_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o be_v harden_v from_o god_n fear_n therefore_o this_o duty_n be_v needful_a in_o that_o regard_n to_o compose_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o into_o order_n more_o over_o do_v not_o the_o sin_n we_o commit_v daily_o put_v a_o necessity_n upon_o we_o of_o do_v this_o that_o they_o 5_o may_v be_v forgive_v and_o do_v away_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n again_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o arbitrary_a thing_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n twice_o a_o day_n because_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a express_a command_n for_o if_o you_o consider_v these_o place_n that_o i_o have_v name_v and_o the_o reason_n we_o shall_v see_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o we_o to_o do_v it_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o that_o i_o come_v now_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o this_o that_o have_v be_v deliver_v first_o in_o that_o such_o prayer_n as_o the_o lord_n accept_v be_v a_o expression_n of_o holy_a desire_n such_o desire_n as_o rise_v 1_o from_o the_o regenerate_a part_n of_o a_o man_n hence_o than_o we_o see_v that_o all_o natural_a man_n be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n when_o time_n of_o extremity_n come_v and_o when_o the_o day_n of_o death_n come_v when_o there_o be_v no_o help_n in_o the_o world_n but_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o all_o the_o creature_n forsake_v they_o and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n but_o by_o prayer_n if_o prayer_n be_v a_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o regenerate_a part_n of_o a_o man_n a_o carnal_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v himself_o he_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n therefore_o let_v man_n consider_v this_o that_o put_v all_o off_o to_o time_n of_o extremity_n put_v the_o case_n thou_o have_v warning_n enough_o at_o such_o a_o time_n put_v the_o case_n thou_o have_v the_o use_n of_o thy_o understanding_n yet_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v any_o good_a without_o this_o for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v a_o spiritual_a prayer_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o lord_n accept_v therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o defer_v and_o put_v off_o labour_v to_o be_v regenerate_v to_o have_v your_o heart_n renew_v while_o you_o have_v time_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o health_n how_o will_v thou_o do_v it_o when_o thy_o wit_n and_o thy_o spirit_n be_v spend_v and_o lose_v and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n and_o extremity_n therefore_o let_v that_o be_v consider_v which_o we_o do_v but_o touch_v by_o the_o way_n brief_o second_o if_o the_o lord_n command_v this_o if_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n pray_v continual_o then_o 2._o take_v heed_n of_o neglect_v this_o duty_n rather_o be_v exhort_v to_o be_v frequent_a and_o servant_n in_o it_o to_o continue_v therein_o and_o watch_v there_o to_o with_o all_o perseverance_n 6_o it_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n among_o we_o either_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o omit_v it_o or_o to_o come_v to_o it_o unwilling_o or_o prayer_n else_o we_o perform_v it_o in_o a_o careless_a and_o negligent_a manner_n not_o consider_v what_o a_o command_n lie_v upon_o the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o

this_o lie_n still_o if_o you_o do_v so_o far_o as_o be_v in_o you_o you_o cause_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v shed_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o you_o neglect_v the_o privilege_n get_v by_o that_o blood_n so_o far_o you_o neglect_v the_o blood_n that_o procure_v they_o but_o to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n be_v to_o neglect_v that_o beside_o if_o we_o ask_v you_o 2._o the_o reason_n why_o you_o abstain_v

the_o lord_n command_v you_o to_o pray_v constant_o at_o all_o time_n if_o you_o make_v conscience_n of_o one_o commandment_n why_o do_v you_o not_o of_o another_o consider_v daniel_n in_o 6_o this_o

more_o love_n to_o more_o obedience_n to_o more_o humility_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o that_o indeed_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o prayer_n prevail_v with_o god_n not_o that_o the_o very_o send_v up_o be_v that_o that_o prevail_v with_o he_o but_o because_o a_o faithful_a and_o a_o spiritual_a prayer_n put_v the_o heart_n in_o a_o better_a disposition_n so_o that_o a_o man_n be_v now_o make_v ready_a to_o receive_v a_o blessing_n at_o god_n hand_n that_o before_o he_o be_v not_o so_o that_o when_o you_o think_v you_o draw_v god_n to_o you_o with_o your_o argument_n in_o truth_n you_o draw_v simile_n yourselves_o near_a to_o he_o as_o when_o a_o man_n in_o a_o ship_n pluck_v a_o rock_n it_o seem_v as_o as_o if_o he_o pluck_v the_o rock_n near_o to_o the_o ship_n when_o as_o the_o ship_n be_v pluck_v near_o the_o rock_n so_o i_o say_v we_o draw_v ourselves_o near_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n and_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a disposition_n wrought_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o duty_n than_o indeed_o the_o lord_n draw_v near_o to_o we_o to_o send_v we_o help_v and_o to_o grant_v our_o request_n that_o we_o put_v up_o to_o he_o and_o therefore_o that_o you_o shall_v mark_v by_o the_o way_n that_o any_o prayer_n as_o it_o have_v a_o high_a pitch_n of_o holiness_n in_o affection_n and_o as_o it_o have_v strong_a argument_n in_o it_o so_o it_o be_v a_o better_a prayer_n not_o because_o this_o prayer_n shall_v prevail_v with_o god_n more_o or_o that_o the_o excellency_n of_o this_o prayer_n shall_v move_v he_o but_o because_o this_o pitch_n of_o holy_a affection_n and_o strength_n of_o argument_n work_v upon_o your_o heart_n for_o the_o strength_n of_o argument_n move_v your_o understanding_n and_o the_o holiness_n of_o affection_n put_v your_o will_n in_o a_o frame_n and_o so_o dispose_v your_o heart_n and_o fit_v you_o as_o the_o 〈◊〉_d we_o speak_v of_o before_o be_v 〈◊〉_d when_o the_o physician_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v the_o thing_n he_o desire_v but_o the_o last_o objection_n which_o indeed_o be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o twofold_a a_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v we_o see_v there_o be_v many_o man_n that_o do_v not_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o yet_o enjoy_v 1_o many_o mercy_n it_o may_v be_v a_o man_n can_v say_v with_o himself_o when_o he_o do_v not_o use_v to_o pray_v he_o have_v health_n and_o sleep_v and_o protection_n again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o have_v pray_v for_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o be_v grant_v so_o this_o objection_n have_v two_o part_n that_o a_o man_n have_v obtain_v blessing_n without_o prayer_n and_o again_o he_o have_v pray_v and_o yet_o have_v not_o obtain_v 2_o the_o blessing_n he_o seek_v for_o at_o the_o lord_n hand_n for_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o man_n do_v obtain_v many_o blessing_n that_o do_v not_o pray_v as_o how_o many_o ans._n young_a man_n be_v there_o and_o old_a man_n too_o that_o have_v health_n and_o wealth_n and_o peace_n and_o liberty_n and_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o yet_o either_o they_o 〈◊〉_d not_o to_o god_n or_o if_o they_o do_v yet_o not_o in_o a_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n and_o therefore_o this_o objection_n have_v need_v to_o be_v answer_v and_o therefore_o i_o answer_v brief_o first_o though_o they_o have_v these_o blessing_n yet_o they_o have_v they_o 〈◊〉_d they_o have_v no_o promise_n objection_n of_o they_o they_o can_v build_v upon_o they_o whereas_o they_o be_v sure_a mercy_n to_o the_o righteous_a man_n he_o can_v build_v upon_o these_o blessing_n for_o he_o 1._o have_v a_o father_n to_o go_v too_o who_o love_n he_o know_v and_o he_o have_v sure_a promise_n to_o build_v on_o the_o other_o though_o he_o have_v they_o yet_o he_o be_v in_o a_o slippery_a place_n when_o he_o enjoy_v they_o it_o be_v a_o accidental_a thing_n he_o have_v they_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o he_o know_v not_o how_o long_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v they_o but_o i_o answer_v again_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a answer_n 2._o to_o this_o objection_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o have_v blessing_n through_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o between_o have_v god_n they_o from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o promise_n and_o out_o of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n a_o natural_a man_n may_v have_v many_o blessing_n of_o god_n so_o god_n say_v that_o he_o make_v jeroboam_fw-la a_o king_n he_o give_v he_o a_o kingdom_n and_o many_o such_o passage_n we_o shall_v find_v when_o man_n come_v unjust_o to_o they_o as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o kingdom_n yet_o god_n say_v he_o do_v it_o that_o be_v it_o be_v by_o his_o providence_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v they_o not_o in_o mercy_n for_o if_o thou_o have_v these_o blessing_n health_n and_o sleep_v and_o success_n in_o the_o
