our_o prayer_n be_v oftentimes_o cold_a remiss_a and_o lukewarm_a therefore_o god_n send_v temptation_n to_o set_v a_o edge_n on_o they_o and_o that_o we_o may_v intend_v the_o strength_n of_o they_o 4._o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v unwearied_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v we_o present_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o give_v over_o pray_v but_o aught_o to_o continue_v instant_a in_o prayer_n luke_n

be_v this_o why_o ought_v we_o to_o pray_v much_o when_o we_o be_v under_o temptation_n 1._o 1._o reason_n 1._o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v much_o because_o we_o have_v strong_a and_o potent_a enemy_n to_o grapple_v with_o we_o wrestle_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o principality_n against_o power_n against_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n against_o spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o high_a place_n ephes_n 6.12_o we_o have_v all_o the_o malice_n and_o subtlety_n of_o hell_n to_o contest_v with_o and_o we_o have_v the_o bait_n and_o allurement_n of_o profit_n pleasure_n and_o honour_n which_o we_o see_v the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n be_v overcome_v by_o and_o over_o and_o above_o all_o this_o we_o have_v the_o treachery_n of_o our_o own_o deceitful_a heart_n to_o deal_v with_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n and_o desperate_o wicked_a therefore_o have_v such_o subtle_a and_o potent_a enemy_n to_o deal_v withal_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o pray_v much_o 2._o 2._o reason_n 2._o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v much_o because_o our_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n be_v more_o than_o we_o think_v it_o be_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o temptation_n but_o will_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o we_o if_o divine_a grace_n do_v not_o help_v we_o as_o strong_a as_o we_o think_v we_o be_v and_o as_o much_o grace_n as_o we_o tkink_v we_o have_v yet_o when_o temptation_n come_v we_o shall_v soon_o be_v foil_v if_o divine_a grace_n do_v not_o help_v we_o what_o the_o strength_n of_o freewill_n be_v we_o have_v a_o instance_n of_o in_o our_o first_o parent_n in_o paradise_n and_o we_o can_v never_o think_v enough_o of_o it_o and_o we_o have_v another_o instance_n of_o it_o in_o the_o angel_n that_o fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o how_o weak_a we_o be_v for_o all_o the_o principle_n of_o grace_n we_o have_v receive_v many_o of_o the_o saint_n as_o david_n peter_n and_o other_o be_v instance_n of_o it_o therefore_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o continual_a supply_n of_o grace_n if_o the_o angel_n do_v not_o keep_v themselves_o in_o heaven_n if_o adam_n in_o paradise_n do_v not_o keep_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o freewill_n if_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v not_o keep_v themselves_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o habitual_a grace_n what_o be_v we_o able_a to_o do_v by_o our_o freewill_n or_o habitual_a grace_n receive_v certain_o our_o infirmity_n be_v great_a than_o we_o be_v apt_a think_v it_o to_o be_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o infirmity_n 3._o 3._o reason_n 3._o it_o be_v one_o end_n why_o god_n permit_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v to_o quicken_v we_o to_o prayer_n you_o will_v find_v it_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v true_a when_o god_n see_v his_o people_n cold_a or_o remiss_a in_o prayer_n he_o do_v ordinary_o let_v loose_v some_o temptation_n upon_o they_o to_o quicken_v they_o to_o prayer_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o always_o so_o yet_o it_o be_v frequent_o so_o that_o some_o coldness_n and_o remissness_n in_o prayer_n do_v usual_o precede_v our_o great_a temptation_n i_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v always_o so_o for_o god_n do_v sometime_o bring_v great_a trial_n and_o affliction_n on_o his_o child_n when_o they_o be_v most_o watchful_a pray_v and_o in_o the_o most_o holy_a frame_n and_o when_o trial_n come_v upon_o we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o this_o posture_n in_o a_o tremble_a watchful_a pray_v frame_n than_o these_o trial_n be_v the_o great_a mercy_n and_o god_n by_o put_v we_o into_o a_o pray_a frame_n before_o such_o trial_n prepare_v we_o for_o they_o before_o such_o trial_n prepare_v we_o for_o they_o before_o they_o come_v happy_a be_v that_o soul_n

therefore_o god_n send_v temptation_n to_o awaken_v we_o from_o our_o security_n and_o to_o make_v we_o sensible_a of_o the_o danger_n we_o be_v in_o 1._o this_o be_v matter_n of_o reproof_n to_o we_o
