A01902	The returne of prayers A treatise wherein this case how to discerne Gods answers to our prayers is briefly resolved, with other observations vpon Psal. 85.8. concerning Gods speaking peace, &c. By Tho: Goodvvin. B.D.	Goodwin, Thomas, 1600-1680.	1636 (1636)	STC 12041.3; ESTC S117577	96,573	431

they_o in_o the_o prophet_n say_v but_o listen_v what_o god_n will_v speak_v he_o only_o must_v and_o can_v do_v it_o and_o be_v sure_a you_o make_v sure_a of_o he_o before_o you_o come_v to_o die_v will_v any_o wise_a prince_n defer_v the_o treaty_n of_o peace_n with_o his_o enemy_n till_o he_o come_v into_o the_o field_n and_o when_o the_o battle_n be_v begin_v how_o foolish_a then_o be_v those_o who_o neglect_n seek_v after_o god_n till_o the_o assault_n of_o death_n come_v and_o the_o king_n of_o fear_n with_o all_o his_o terror_n have_v encompass_v they_o round_o obser_n 4_o 4._o observation_n be_v that_o let_v god_n people_n be_v in_o never_o so_o great_a distress_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o god_n to_o give_v peace_n to_o they_o mark_v the_o expression_n use_v here_o it_o be_v but_o speak_v peace_n that_o be_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o give_v peace_n as_o it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o speak_v a_o word_n it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o he_o then_o our_o comfort_n be_v that_o as_o he_o only_o must_v do_v it_o so_o he_o easy_o can_v do_v it_o even_o with_o a_o word_n reas_n 1_o reason_n 1._o because_o his_o speak_n be_v create_v if_o he_o speak_v he_o make_v thing_n to_o be_v even_o with_o a_o word_n as_o at_o first_o he_o do_v but_o say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a so_o still_o if_o he_o but_o say_v let_v there_o be_v peace_n there_o be_v peace_n he_o make_v all_o and_o uphold_v all_o by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n as_o therefore_o when_o the_o storm_n be_v at_o its_o height_n and_o the_o wave_n most_o rage_a yet_o at_o one_o word_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o still_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o wind_n obey_v he_o so_o when_o tentation_n be_v most_o fierce_a and_o the_o doubt_n of_o thy_o own_o heart_n most_o tumultuous_a and_o rage_a a_o word_n from_o he_o can_v still_v they_o reas_n 2_o second_o because_o the_o light_n which_o god_n give_v to_o a_o man_n spirit_n when_o he_o speak_v peace_n be_v a_o sure_a and_o infallible_a light_n and_o therefore_o a_o satisfy_a light_n so_o as_o when_o it_o come_v it_o must_v needs_o give_v peace_n and_o no_o objection_n no_o tentation_n can_v darken_v or_o obscure_v it_o when_o it_o shine_v if_o he_o give_v quietness_n who_o can_v trouble_v say_v he_o in_o job_n 34._o 29._o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o separate_v from_o his_o love_n or_o the_o assurance_n of_o it_o 1_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o infallible_a light_n which_o god_n give_v when_o he_o speak_v peace_n the_o anoint_v from_o above_o which_o enlighten_v a_o man_n eye_n be_v truth_n and_o be_v no_o lie_n 1._o joh._n 2._o 27._o that_o be_v in_o teach_v a_o man_n of_o which_o he_o there_o speak_v not_o only_o what_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o but_o what_o he_o be_v in_o teach_v we_o he_o do_v it_o so_o as_o a_o man_n be_v not_o delude_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v add_v none_o else_o need_v teach_v he_o for_o do_v the_o spirit_n when_o he_o do_v speak_v peace_n speak_v so_o as_o that_o that_o man_n to_o who_o it_o be_v speak_v do_v not_o infallible_o apprehend_v it_o he_o shall_v speak_v in_o vain_a for_o so_o the_o apostle_n reason_n in_o case_n of_o unknown_a tongue_n that_o if_o a_o trumpet_n give_v a_o uncertain_a sound_n or_o a_o man_n speak_v so_o as_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v know_v what_o he_o speak_v he_o beat_v the_o air_n 1._o cor._n 14._o 9_o now_o therefore_o sure_o god_n when_o he_o speak_v peace_n speak_v it_o so_o infallible_o and_o distinct_o that_o the_o soul_n know_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o a_o voice_n else_o for_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o ver_fw-la 10._o the_o end_n of_o all_o voice_n be_v to_o signify_v and_o therefore_o if_o i_o know_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o voice_n he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o barbarian_a that_o speak_v to_o i_o ver_fw-la 11._o especial_o when_o the_o speaker_n undertake_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o speak_v peace_n be_v 1._o john_n 5._o 6._o now_o to_o witness_v be_v such_o a_o testimony_n as_o be_v take_v for_o infallible_a for_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o controversy_n and_o it_o end_v the_o strife_n between_o man_n and_o man_n now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o he_o speak_v speak_v as_o a_o witness_n and_o therefore_o put_v a_o end_n to_o a_o man_n doubt_n he_o speak_v infallible_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n also_o it_o be_v such_o a_o light_n as_o dispell_n darkness_n as_o answer_v all_o objection_n and_o so_o speak_v peace_n home_o as_o in_o a_o question_n and_o controversy_n in_o divinity_n or_o logic_n when_o some_o one_o bottom_n truth_n be_v understand_v a_o man_n have_v a_o light_n which_o go_v through_o all_o the_o

do_v speak_v peace_n he_o give_v such_o a_o light_n as_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n as_o let_v he_o see_v that_o in_o god_n free_a grace_n and_o in_o christ_n which_o do_v answer_n to_o all_o he_o or_o all_o the_o devil_n can_v say_v against_o he_o from_o what_o want_v or_o objection_n be_v in_o himself_o he_o open_v and_o no_o man_n nor_o devil_n be_v able_a to_o shut_v and_o therefore_o when_o he_o do_v speak_v peace_n his_o testimony_n be_v take_v and_o believe_v if_o we_o receive_v the_o witness_n of_o man_n and_o rest_n in_o it_o 1._o john_n 5._o 9_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n be_v
