good_a king_n hezekiah_n 6._o 2_o king_n 20.5_o 6._o who_o success_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v such_o as_o it_o effect_v what_o he_o desire_v namely_o in_o his_o sickness_n he_o recover_v health_n and_o have_v fifteen_o year_n add_v to_o his_o life_n after_o the_o lord_n say_v by_o his_o prophet_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v this_o be_v a_o comfortable_a example_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o case_n of_o he_o that_o be_v deep_o disease_v within_o with_o sin_n and_o without_o with_o cross_n and_o calamity_n wherein_o if_o he_o seek_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o lively_a and_o work_a faith_n he_o will_v offer_v himself_o unto_o he_o faith_n the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v he_o see_v the_o issue_n of_o his_o hope_n even_o delivery_n out_o of_o all_o his_o trouble_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v of_o wonderful_a effect_n for_o thereby_o god_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o god_n of_o great_a compassion_n and_o exceed_v in_o mercy_n towards_o all_o believer_n and_o at_o a_o instant_n he_o hear_v and_o in_o his_o good_a time_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n he_o grant_v our_o desire_n as_o be_v see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o hezekiah_n who_o prayer_n no_o soon_o issue_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n but_o his_o petition_n be_v grant_v and_o the_o lord_n mercy_n come_v to_o meet_v as_o it_o be_v the_o king_n misery_n whereby_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o faithful_a soul_n be_v in_o distress_n have_v god_n as_o present_v as_o if_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v conjoin_v together_o no_o distance_n of_o place_n or_o process_n of_o time_n can_v prevent_v god_n to_o perform_v his_o will_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n but_o where_o prayer_n be_v and_o faith_n the_o ground_n of_o it_o there_o be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n 49._o esay_n 49._o who_o give_v present_o or_o delay_v for_o a_o time_n according_a to_o his_o will_n always_o for_o the_o best_a and_o good_a of_o the_o faithful_a petitioner_n god_n delay_v to_o grant_v david_n request_n a_o long_a time_n suffer_v he_o to_o live_v in_o banishment_n and_o in_o the_o wilderness_n cry_v yet_o at_o the_o last_o in_o a_o acceptable_a time_n he_o deliver_v he_o and_o make_v he_o king_n over_o israel_n etc._n gen._n 41.1_o etc._n etc._n so_o joseph_n make_v long_a suit_n and_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o prison_n and_o no_o doubt_n the_o lord_n hear_v he_o yet_o in_o two_o year_n he_o give_v he_o not_o his_o liberty_n but_o when_o the_o time_n be_v come_v wherein_o occasion_n be_v administer_v for_o his_o advancement_n he_o then_o not_o only_o give_v he_o freedom_n but_o also_o make_v he_o viceroy_n as_o it_o be_v over_o all_o egypt_n thus_o do_v god_n often_o try_v our_o faith_n whether_o it_o be_v sound_a or_o not_o and_o after_o proof_n thereof_o by_o patience_n than_o it_o have_v the_o reward_n infinite_a example_n may_v be_v show_v of_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n 11._o hebr._n 11._o how_o it_o stop_v the_o lion_n mouth_n how_o it_o qualify_v

the_o scripture_n be_v common_a they_o be_v infinite_a which_o may_v confirm_v our_o faith_n seek_v therefore_o the_o scripture_n the_o sweet_a manna_n of_o our_o soul_n they_o will_v show_v we_o the_o admirable_a thing_n which_o have_v be_v wrought_v by_o lively_a faith_n let_v we_o therefore_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o this_o god_n who_o have_v do_v for_o we_o wonderful_a thing_n will_v be_v present_a also_o at_o our_o prayer_n and_o if_o we_o ask_v faithful_o he_o will_v bring_v such_o thing_n to_o pass_v for_o we_o as_o shall_v seem_v marvellous_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n now_o since_o this_o excellent_a sweet_a and_o surpass_a jewel_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o give_v all_o his_o rich_a blessing_n free_o and_o for_o nought_o let_v we_o not_o fear_v to_o frame_v our_o prayer_n unto_o he_o in_o all_o humble_a obedience_n and_o go_v free_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o he_o will_v give_v we_o at_o large_a what_o we_o shall_v desire_v in_o
