particular_a be_v this_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o people_n do_v want_v this_o holy_a importunity_n that_o so_o many_o pray_v and_o so_o few_o pray_v with_o that_o earnestness_n and_o eagerness_n of_o heart_n and_o affection_n that_o be_v require_v i_o answer_v that_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o many_o reason_n reas_n 1_o 1._o this_o come_v to_o pass_v from_o the_o injection_n and_o instigation_n of_o satan_n the_o devil_n act_v not_o only_o powerful_o but_o also_o subtle_o and_o crafty_o he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o divert_v you_o from_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n

because_o the_o angel_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n job_n 38._o 7._o but_o 7._o it_o can_v be_v so_o take_v here_o i_o will_v give_v but_o one_o reason_n to_o prove_v it_o because_o the_o place_n where_o the_o angel_n be_v be_v in_o heaven_n and_o if_o so_o than_o the_o devil_n must_v be_v in_o heaven_n which_o be_v by_o all_o deny_v he_o never_o be_v in_o heaven_n since_o he_o be_v

2._o of_o god_n see_v the_o daughter_n of_o man_n these_o son_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v man_n and_o not_o angel_n and_o so_o they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o place_n in_o job_n the_o people_n of_o god_n meet_v together_o and_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o satan_n come_v also_o among_o they_o he_o come_v to_o hinder_v they_o and_o disturb_v they_o so_o it_o be_v zach._n

first_o reason_n 2._o this_o importunity_n be_v want_v in_o our_o prayer_n when_o we_o know_v and_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o any_o one_o sin_n and_o let_v it_o lie_v upon_o our_o heart_n unrepented_a of_o hildersham_n gather_v from_o the_o 51_o psalm_n that_o all_o the_o while_n that_o david_n do_v lie_v in_o that_o sin_n of_o adultery_n all_o the_o time_n that_o sin_n be_v unrepented_a of_o the_o

another_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o many_o take_v unfit_a season_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o that_o learned_a and_o reverend_a man_n of_o god_n mr_n

fill_v with_o worldly_a care_n and_o distraction_n and_o the_o encumbrance_n of_o this_o present_a life_n many_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o this_o they_o will_v so_o ●log_v themselves_o with_o the_o
