cry_v for_o mercy_n and_o abuse_v it_o no_o more_o christ_n do_v not_o blame_v the_o blind_a and_o lame_a for_o cry_v out_o jesus_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o nor_o the_o

feel_v will_v teach_v we_o to_o repent_v and_o pray_v and_o prayer_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o hope_n for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n grace_n make_v we_o not_o stupid_a yet_o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v a_o man_n behave_v not_o himself_o like_o a_o believer_n if_o he_o cry_v and_o pray_v that_o the_o thorn_n may_v depart_v what_o think_v they_o of_o david_n in_o psal_n 6._o and_o 17._o and_o 88_o and_o many_o more_o what_o think_v they_o of_o christ_n that_o pray_v that_o if_o possible_a the_o cup_n may_v pass_v by_o he_o he_o do_v it_o to_o show_v that_o even_o

end_n that_o man_n ought_v always_o to_o pray_v and_o not_o wax_v faint_a whether_o god_n deliver_v we_o or_o not_o prayer_n be_v not_o lose_v it_o be_v a_o good_a posture_n for_o god_n to_o find_v we_o in_o we_o may_v get_v better_a if_o we_o get_v not_o what_o we_o ask_v obey_v and_o pray_v and_o trust_v god_n but_o what_o answer_n do_v the_o lord_n give_v to_o paul_n thrice_o pray_v he_o say_v my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o and_o my_o strength_n be_v manifest_v in_o weakness_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o a_o promise_n that_o the_o thorn_n shall_v depart_v 2._o it_o seem_v to_o be_v rather_o a_o denial_n at_o the_o present_a and_o that_o paul_n must_v not_o be_v yet_o cure_v of_o his_o thorn_n for_o it_o be_v call_v a_o weakness_n that_o must_v continue_v for_o the_o manifest_v of_o god_n strength_n and_o what_o be_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o grace_n and_o strength_n for_o but_o to_o endure_v and_o improve_v the_o thorn_n 3._o but_o this_o promise_a grace_n and_o strength_n be_v better_a than_o that_o which_o be_v desire_v obs_n 14._o even_o oft_o and_o earnest_a prayer_n of_o the_o great_a saint_n for_o deliverance_n from_o bodily_a pain_n may_v not_o be_v grant_v in_o the_o kind_n or_o thing_n desire_v for_o 1._o we_o be_v not_o lord_n but_o beggar_n and_o must_v leave_v the_o issue_n to_o the_o donor_n and_o god_n have_v high_a end_n to_o accomplish_v than_o our_o ease_n or_o deliverance_n it_o be_v meet_a that_o he_o shall_v first_o fit_v all_o his_o action_n to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o glory_n and_o next_o to_o the_o good_a of_o many_o and_o to_o his_o public_a work_n in_o the_o world_n and_o then_o to_o look_v at_o our_o interest_n next_o 2._o and_o we_o be_v utter_o unmeet_a judge_n of_o matter_n manner_n time_n or_o measure_n what_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o for_o the_o body_n and_o how_o much_o and_o how_o and_o when_o when_o shall_v we_o be_v sick_a or_o pain_v or_o persecute_v or_o die_v if_o all_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v absolute_o grant_v we_o know_v not_o how_o much_o better_a god_n be_v prepare_v we_o for_o by_o pain_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o by_o dismal_a death_n he_o will_v not_o keep_v we_o from_o grace_n and_o glory_n because_o our_o flesh_n be_v loath_a to_o suffer_v and_o to_o die_v 3._o and_o in_o this_o paul_n also_o be_v conform_v to_o christ_n he_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o fear_v when_o in_o his_o agony_n he_o pray_v with_o strong_a cry_n but_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o bitter_a cup_n but_o by_o divine_a strength_n and_o acceptance_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o paul_n sufficient_a grace_n and_o strength_n to_o bear_v be_v the_o thing_n promise_v use_v 1._o we_o see_v then_o that_o they_o be_v mistake_v that_o think_v christ_n promise_n of_o give_v believer_n whatever_o they_o ask_v will_v prove_v he_o a_o breaker_n of_o his_o promise_n if_o the_o strong_a believer_n receive_v not_o all_o that_o he_o ask_v for_o the_o body_n be_v not_o paul_n a_o strong_a believer_n all_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v and_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v god_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o give_v 2._o let_v not_o unbelief_n get_v advantage_n by_o god_n not_o grant_v such_o prayer_n for_o the_o body_n say_v not_o why_o then_o be_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o pray_v 1._o you_o know_v not_o beforehand_o but_o god_n may_v give_v it_o possibility_n bid_v you_o beg_v 2._o why_o do_v christ_n pray_v against_o his_o cup_n 3._o you_o lose_v not_o prayer_n you_o draw_v near_a god_n you_o exercise_v repentance_n and_o desire_n you_o signify_v your_o dependence_n you_o be_v prepare_v for_o much_o great_a gift_n obs_n 15._o when_o god_n will_v not_o take_v the_o thorn_n out_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o deliver_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v from_o bodily_a suffering_n he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v better_a for_o prepare_v person_n even_o to_o give_v they_o his_o sufficient_a grace_n and_o manifest_v his_o strength_n in_o their_o pain_n and_o weakness_n it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o love_n or_o power_n that_o he_o let_v we_o tumble_v on_o our_o bed_n in_o pain_n or_o lie_v under_o slanderer_n or_o persecutor_n rage_n he_o that_o with_o a_o word_n can_v make_v the_o world_n with_o a_o word_n can_v save_v we_o from_o all_o this_o but_o if_o we_o suffer_v not_o how_o shall_v suffering-grace_n be_v exercise_v faith_n patience_n self-denial_n and_o hope_v be_v not_o grace_n better_o than_o ease_n or_o life_n how_o shall_v we_o get_v the_o benefit_n of_o suffering_n if_o we_o feel_v it_o not_o how_o shall_v grace_v and_o divine_a strength_n be_v manifest_v to_o ourselves_o and_o other_o quest_n what_o be_v it_o that_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o ans_fw-fr 1._o not_o to_o set_v we_o up_o above_o the_o frailty_n of_o humanity_n and_o
