this_o point_n and_o it_o be_v in_o divers_a particular_n the_o first_o be_v this_o hence_o learn_v what_o you_o do_v when_o you_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o consider_v of_o it_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v any_o act_n of_o worship_n true_o this_o one_o thing_n will_v be_v of_o marveilons_a use_n and_o it_o will_v help_v forward_o to_o the_o next_o point_n of_o sanctify_v of_o

you_o do_v when_o you_o worship_n god_n i_o fear_v that_o this_o second_o question_n will_v gravel_n many_o you_o will_v say_v we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o hear_v his_o

with_o yourselves_o and_o charge_v this_o upon_o your_o own_o heart_n i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o worship_n god_n either_o in_o prayer_n word_n or_o sacrament_n i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n that_o be_v due_a from_o a_o creature_n to_o the_o infinite_a creator_n so_o that_o i_o must_v so_o pray_v as_o i_o must_v manifest_v that_o high_a respect_n that_o i_o owe_v to_o

to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n that_o you_o owe_v unto_o god_n and_o so_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n there_o be_v a_o profession_n that_o you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o respect_n and_o homage_n that_o you_o owe_v to_o the_o infinite_a god_n and_o so_o likewise_o when_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o offer_v a_o

god_n name_v 2_o second_o remember_v when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n i_o come_v to_o set_v myself_o before_o the_o lord_n in_o those_o way_n that_o god_n do_v let_v out_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n in_o i_o have_v many_o mercy_n from_o god_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o i_o expect_v the_o communication_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o another_o way_n than_o through_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v the_o chief_a channel_n that_o god_n do_v let_v out_o the_o choice_a of_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n through_o and_o now_o i_o be_o go_v to_o worship_v he_o i_o be_o go_v to_o present_v myself_o fore_o god_n indeed_o there_o be_v a_o little_a glimmer_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n through_o other_o creature_n to_o i_o but_o the_o glorious_a beam_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n be_v through_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n 3._o and_o then_o three_o i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o act_v my_o soul_n upon_o god_n so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v any_o ability_n to_o close_v with_o god_n to_o act_v my_o soul_n upon_o he_o it_o must_v be_v put_v forth_o now_o at_o this_o time_n i_o be_o indeed_o at_o all_o time_n to_o labour_n to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n when_o i_o see_v the_o creature_n the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n to_o labour_v to_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o when_o i_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o for_o my_o meat_n and_o drink_n i_o be_o to_o bless_v god_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v god_n in_o all_o but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n than_o all_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v act_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n i_o must_v then_o above_o all_o labour_n to_o stir_v up_o whatsoever_o i_o have_v in_o my_o soul_n to_o act_v upon_o god_n this_o be_v now_o to_o worship_n god_n second_o if_o to_o worship_n god_n be_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n hence_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o guilty_a conscience_n have_v little_a mind_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n have_v give_v liberty_n to_o any_o licentious_a way_n and_o sin_v against_o their_o conscience_n if_o they_o have_v any_o light_n in_o their_o conscience_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o tedious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n they_o have_v rather_o do_v any_o thing_n than_o come_v to_o holy_a duty_n as_o to_o prayer_n and_o especial_o to_o secret_a prayer_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n and_o be_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n the_o come_n to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n be_v a_o very_a grievous_a burden_n to_o they_o why_o here_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o to_o worship_n god_n be_v to_o draw_v to_o god_n and_o the_o guilt_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o have_v make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n terrible_a to_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v rather_o go_v into_o their_o company_n and_o be_v merry_a eat_v drink_v sport_n or_o any_o thing_n rather_o than_o to_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o adam_n when_o god_n appear_v in_o the_o garden_n and_o call_v to_o he_o he_o run_v to_o hide_v himself_o why_o because_o he_o have_v guiltiness_n upon_o he_o oh_o the_o evil_a that_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n bring_v upon_o the_o soul_n it_o make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n terrible_a the_o presence_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v be_v more_o comfortable_a to_o we_o than_o our_o life_n but_o our_o sin_n make_v god_n presence_n grievous_a and_o terrible_a a_o child_n sometime_o when_o it_o have_v offend_v the_o father_n and_o be_v conscious_a to_o its_o

where_o the_o father_n be_v because_o it_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n when_o it_o be_v conscious_a to_o its_o self_n of_o some_o haunt_n of_o evil_n that_o it_o have_v give_v itself_o unto_o it_o have_v no_o mind_n at_o all_o of_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o father_n but_o hang_v off_o my_o brethren_n the_o very_a presence_n of_o

or_o woman_n that_o live_v close_o with_o god_n do_v it_o
god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v to_o prepare_v as_o well_o as_o they_o because_o god_n be_v come_v for_o that_o that_o be_v observable_a be_v why_o they_o be_v for_o two_o day_n together_o to_o make_v such_o preparation_n the_o argument_n be_v because_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n go_v and_o sanctify_v the_o people_n to_o day_n and_o tomorrow_o and_o let_v they_o wash_v their_o clothes_n and_o be_v ready_a against_o the_o three_o day_n why_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v down_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o people_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n the_o lord_n will_v come_v down_o in_o the_o three_o day_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o be_v sanctisied_a so_o when_o thou_o go_v to_o worship_n god_n thou_o expect_v or_o shall_v expect_v that_o god_n will_v come_v to_o thou_o and_o that_o thy_o heart_n shall_v be_v draw_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o thou_o shall_v make_v some_o preparation_n for_o the_o time_n of_o preparation_n we_o shall_v speak_v to_o afterward_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o case_n of_o conscience_n about_o preparation_n for_o worship_n and_o so_o in_o chr._n 22_o 5._o 14._o david_n make_v

the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o of_o christ_n it_o show_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v much_o preparation_n when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n second_o as_o god_n be_v great_a that_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o so_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v great_a duty_n they_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o do_v concern_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o very_a carnal_a heart_n to_o slight_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o make_v account_n of_o they_o as_o little_a matter_n carnal_a heart_n ordinary_o the_o thing_n

that_o upon_o any_o slight_a occasion_n they_o do_v not_o account_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n great_a matter_n my_o brethren_n i_o beseech_v you_o learn_v this_o lesson_n this_o morning_n to_o

you_o make_v not_o preparation_n to_o go_v in_o a_o boat_n one_o the_o thames_n but_o to_o go_v a_o voyage_n you_o make_v great_a preparation_n now_o if_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v but_o understand_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o be_v great_a they_o will_v see_v a_o necessity_n to_o make_v a_o preparation_n many_o man_n for_o want_n of_o preparation_n to_o duty_n they_o lose_v a_o great_a

that_o be_v a_o sore_a and_o a_o great_a evil_a to_o lose_v any_o part_n of_o the_o time_n of_o worship_n christian_n i_o beseech_v you_o account_v high_o of_o the_o time_n of_o your_o worship_n you_o

first_o because_o the_o lord_n do_v first_o accept_v of_o the_o person_n before_o he_o do_v accept_v of_o the_o action_n man_n indeed_o do_v accept_v of_o the_o person_n of_o man_n because_o they_o do_v good_a action_n but_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o action_n of_o man_n because_o thesr_v person_n be_v good_a if_o indeed_o we_o see_v a_o man_n do_v good_a than_o we_o love_v he_o and_o accept_v of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o man_n but_o god_n first_o will_v accept_v of_o the_o person_n before_o the_o action_n as_o the_o lord_n accept_v of_o abel_n first_o and_o then_o he_o accept_v his_o offering_n so_o you_o must_v look_v to_o that_o to_o have_v your_o person_n first_o accept_v of_o god_n before_o any_o duty_n can_v be_v accept_v you_o think_v though_o you_o be_v wicked_a and_o sinful_a yet_o if_o you_o amend_v your_o life_n god_n will_v accept_v of_o you_o you_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v but_o certain_o that_o be_v the_o wrong_a way_n you_o must_v first_o look_v after_o mean_n of_o acceptation_n of_o your_o person_n which_o be_v through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o through_o the_o sanctification_n of_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o you_o come_v to_o have_v his_o image_n and_o life_n and_o so_o be_v accept_v and_o then_o all_o that_o proceed_v from_o you_o come_v to_o be_v accept_v there_o be_v not_o any_o action_n which_o come_v from_o you_o that_o come_v to_o be_v accept_v to_o eternal_a life_n until_o your_o person_n be_v accept_v before_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o sanctify_a of_o the_o heart_n before_o there_o can_v be_v a_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v any_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n you_o shall_v consider_v

second_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v sanctify_v because_o the_o lord_n do_v look_v more_o to_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o a_o thing_n come_v than_o at_o the_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o indeed_o

of_o god_n take_v heed_n of_o have_v low_a thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o god_n at_o any_o time_n but_o especial_o when_o thou_o be_v to_o worship_v the_o great_a

all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n look_v upon_o the_o lord_n as_o lift_v up_o in_o glory_n not_o only_o above_o all_o creature_n but_o above_o all_o excellency_n that_o all_o angel_n and_o man_n

when_o thou_o come_v to_o he_o the_o great_a reason_n why_o people_n come_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o slight_a way_n it_o be_v because_o that_o they_o do_v not_o see_v god_n in_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n for_o god_n to_o give_v unto_o we_o a_o sight_n of_o himself_o a_o sight_n of_o his_o glory_n here_o in_o this_o world_n while_o we_o be_v worship_v of_o he_o this_o will_v keep_v our_o eye_n and_o our_o thought_n from_o wander_a if_o we_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o wander_v so_o as_o we_o do_v but_o mere_o because_o we_o see_v not_o god_n as_o now_o suppose_v you_o be_v in_o your_o house_n and_o look_v after_o every_o feather_n that_o be_v fly_v up_o and_o

such_o as_o of_o those_o that_o be_v above_o you_o so_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o in_o his_o excellency_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o he_o and_o this_o be_v that_o

that_o will_v do_v this_o subject_a the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o his_o base_a lust_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v whosoever_o do_v make_v use_n of_o any_o duty_n of_o worship_n as_o prayer_n hear_v

to_o cloak_v any_o wicked_a way_n by_o any_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v it_o a_o great_a evil_n for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o make_v use_n of_o any_o of_o god_n creature_n to_o be_v

the_o particular_a duty_n of_o his_o worship_n now_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v especial_o these_o three_o 1._o the_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n 2._o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n 3._o

show_v how_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o word_n sacrament_n and_o prayer_n we_o may_v choose_v several_a text_n for_o all_o these_o but_o they_o fall_v full_a within_o the_o general_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o to_o ground_v the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o these_o duty_n of_o worship_n upon_o this_o text._n 1._o of_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o this_o morning_n it_o be_v the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o ground_n of_o what_o we_o be_v to_o say_v concern_v this_o in_o a_o particular_a scripture_n you_o may_v have_v it_o in_o luke_n 8._o 18._o take_v heed_n therefore_o how_o you_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o be_v good_a and_o no_o question_n but_o god_n be_v please_v with_o the_o willingness_n of_o people_n to_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n but_o you_o must_v not_o rest_v bare_o in_o hear_v but_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v do_v good_a to_o help_v to_o make_v many_o sermon_n to_o be_v profitable_a to_o you_o and_o the_o point_n i_o hope_v be_v seasonable_a and_o will_v be_v very_o suitable_a unto_o you_o for_o those_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v so_o soon_o in_o a_o morning_n and_o be_v willing_a even_o in_o hard_a weather_n to_o come_v out_o of_o their_o bed_n they_o give_v some_o good_a testimony_n that_o they_o do_v desire_n to_o honour_n god_n in_o their_o hear_n and_o to_o get_v good_a by_o their_o hear_n and_o it_o be_v pity_n that_o labour_n and_o pain_n shall_v be_v bestow_v and_o no_o profit_n but_o hurt_v rather_o get_v by_o it_o which_o god_n forbid_v therefore_o now_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o a_o point_n that_o may_v help_v you_o so_o to_o hear_v as_o may_v recompense_v all_o your_o labour_n and_o pain_n in_o hear_v in_o preach_v to_o those_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v so_o that_o they_o may_v get_v good_a and_o benefit_n by_o it_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o encouragement_n than_o to_o such_o as_o come_v in_o a_o formal_a way_n because_o they_o use_v to_o come_v therefore_o this_o point_n be_v a_o great_a point_n i_o shall_v open_v it_o somewhat_o large_o and_o cast_v into_o this_o method_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o i_o can_v not_o ground_v it_o upon_o my_o text_n second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o preparation_n unto_o it_o or_o our_o behaviour_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n three_o why_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o this_o ordinance_n of_o he_o four_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v himself_o in_o such_o as_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n five_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o those_o that_o be_v careful_a to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n these_o be_v the_o five_o principal_a thing_n that_o concern_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o first_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n you_o hear_v in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o general_n what_o it_o be_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o tender_v up_o of_o the_o creature_n homage_n to_o god_n as_o testimony_n of_o the_o respect_n that_o the_o creature_n do_v owe_v to_o god_n now_o if_o that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o worship_n certain_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n we_o first_o do_v profess_v our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n every_o time_n we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o we_o know_v what_o we_o do_v we_o do_v thus_o much_o we_o do_v profess_v that_o we_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n and_o rule_n to_o eternal_a life_n we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v lord_n of_o ourselves_o we_o neither_o know_v thou_o nor_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n how_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v testify_v our_o dependence_n upon_o thou_o for_o this_o thing_n we_o here_o present_v ourselves_o before_o thou_o now_o this_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o high_a respect_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n second_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n because_o in_o it_o we_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n to_o have_v that_o good_a convey_v to_o we_o by_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n beyond_o what_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o
the_o implacable_a enemy_n of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v not_o as_o david_n pray_v against_o judas_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v by_o a_o prophetical_a spirit_n he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o perdition_n indeed_o if_o we_o can_v certain_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o castaway_n eternal_o from_o god_n it_o be_v another_o matter_n as_o the_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o julian_n because_o of_o his_o apostasy_n be_v so_o abominable_a it_o be_v determine_v almost_o general_o by_o they_o that_o he_o have_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o upon_o that_o they_o curse_v he_o now_o i_o say_v those_o that_o have_v a_o extraordinary_a spirit_n that_o do_v know_v who_o these_o be_v they_o may_v do_v it_o but_o this_o be_v no_o example_n for_o we_o in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n to_o wish_v evil_a and_o curse_n upon_o other_o but_o thus_o far_o we_o may_v do_v with_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n first_o we_o may_v curse_v they_o disjunctive_o lord_n either_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n or_o keep_v they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o do_v such_o mischief_n in_o the_o church_n or_o thus_o conditional_o if_o thou_o see_v lord_n that_o they_o be_v implacable_a thou_o know_v they_o if_o so_o let_v thy_o wrath_n and_o curse_n pursue_v they_o lord_n thou_o see_v what_o evil_a they_o be_v set_v upon_o and_o therefore_o rather_o than_o they_o shall_v attain_v their_o mischievous_a design_n let_v thy_o wrath_n and_o curse_n pursue_v they_o so_o we_o may_v do_v it_o but_o not_o absolute_o to_o curse_v any_o though_o they_o shall_v do_v we_o never_o so_o much_o wrong_v we_o be_v call_v to_o blessing_n but_o now_o in_o zeal_n to_o god_n take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v on_o in_o our_o own_o passion_n but_o be_v sure_o it_o be_v zeal_n to_o god_n we_o may_v wish_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n to_o pursue_v those_o that_o god_n know_v to_o be_v implacable_a this_o be_v but_o a_o appeal_n to_o god_n and_o not_o at_o all_o fasten_n it_o upon_o any_o particular_a person_n that_o we_o know_v but_o leave_v it_o unto_o god_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o so_o in_o a_o zeal_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o may_v do_v it_o and_o we_o be_v warrant_v so_o to_o do_v by_o the_o second_o petition_n thy_o kingdom_n come_v for_o that_o petition_n that_o require_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o come_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v also_o require_v that_o we_o shall_v pray_v against_o all_o mean_n that_o hinder_v the_o come_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o every_o time_n that_o the_o church_n pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v or_o any_o pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o as_o say_v o_o lord_n do_v thou_o set_v thyself_o against_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o thy_o kingdom_n if_o they_o belong_v to_o thy_o election_n lord_n convert_v they_o but_o otherwise_o lord_n confound_v they_o now_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o prayer_n but_o now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n the_o most_o thing_n i_o confess_v be_v there_o first_o when_o we_o come_v to_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o pray_v with_o understanding_n 1_o cor._n 14._o 15._o what_o be_v it_o then_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o will_v pray_v with_o understand_v also_o god_n do_v not_o love_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n we_o must_v not_o come_v babble_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n to_o speak_v we_o know_v not_o what_o and_o to_o multiply_v word_n we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o but_o god_n do_v require_v that_o those_o that_o come_v to_o prayer_n come_v with_o understanding_n that_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n a_o rational_a a_o reasonable_a a_o understand_a sacrifice_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n so_o especial_o in_o prayer_n to_o know_v what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o think_v to_o put_v off_o god_n with_o a_o mere_a empty_a sound_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n it_o be_v the_o giving_z up_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o it_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o general_n we_o shall_v apply_v it_o now_o particular_o to_o prayer_n the_o give_v up_o not_o only_o our_o understanding_n but_o will_n thought_n affection_n strength_n in_o prayer_n in_o 2_o chron._n 20._o 3._o it_o be_v say_v of_o jehoshaphat_n that_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n he_o do_v give_v his_o whole_a self_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v to_o give_v our_o whole_a self_n and_o not_o to_o divide_v in_o prayer_n now_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o indeed_o may_v well_o take_v up_o a_o whole_a sermon_n in_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o in_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o thought_n both_o in_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v their_o great_a burden_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o more_o complain_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o spirit_n than_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o pester_v in_o their_o spirit_n with_o this_o evil_a it_o be_v very_o grievous_a unto_o they_o and_o many_o of_o they_o go_v under_o it_o as_o a_o grievous_a burden_n all_o their_o day_n the_o chief_a burden_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n be_v their_o wander_a in_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o speak_v unto_o solomon_n and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o congregation_n that_o have_v already_o good_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n in_o christ_n if_o they_o have_v not_o that_o that_o will_v be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o they_o will_v ask_v but_o have_v attain_v that_o if_o god_n will_v speak_v from_o heaven_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o give_v you_o for_o yourselves_o if_o he_o shall_v ask_v you_o in_o the_o general_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v ask_v something_o for_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v for_o yourselves_o you_o will_v put_v up_o this_o petition_n oh_o lord_n that_o i_o may_v

thyself_o than_o ever_o yet_o i_o enjoy_v and_o they_o will_v account_v this_o to_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n than_o if_o god_n shall_v give_v they_o to_o be_v king_n or_o queen_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o god_n shall_v put_v these_o two_o into_o the_o balance_n either_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o possess_v or_o otherwise_o to_o have_v more_o free_a heart_n in_o come_v to_o god_n in_o

we_o may_v make_v out_o more_o cleerlie_o afterward_o but_o now_o i_o speak_v to_o such_o as_o have_v most_o wicked_a
abominable_a thought_n rise_v from_o the_o stream_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o heart_n such_o thought_n as_o their_o heart_n do_v close_o withal_o in_o prayer_n and_o they_o can_v roll_v those_o

upon_o that_o argument_n about_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o thought_n in_o prayer_n and_o by_o that_o we_o come_v to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a instead_o of_o sanctify_v of_o his_o name_n god_n expect_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o thought_n and_o will_n and_o affection_n our_o whole_a soul_n act_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n or_o else_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o unto_o a_o god_n vain_a thought_n in_o prayer_n do_v pick_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n like_o the_o brid_n that_o abraham_n drive_v away_o from_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o pick_v it_o wicked_a lust_n in_o man_n heart_n be_v like_o swine_n to_o take_v the_o meat_n and_o all_o to_o hale_v it_o in_o the_o dirt_n so_o their_o prayer_n be_v filthy_a and_o dirty_a with_o their_o

no_o quickness_n in_o our_o heart_n in_o any_o service_n that_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n now_o many_o of_o god_n people_n have_v experience_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o this_o and_o they_o groan_v

they_o have_v already_o the_o asurance_n of_o his_o love_n in_o christ_n they_o will_v ask_v the_o deliverance_n from_o a_o vain_a spirit_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o 〈◊〉_d duty_n bring_v no_o

will_v have_v vain_a thought_n sometime_o but_o yet_o as_o one_o compare_v the_o vain_a thought_n of_o man_n in_o paryer_n like_v to_o a_o spaniel_n that_o go_v out_o with_o a_o man_n he_o walk_v perhaps_o but_o half_a a_o mile_n but_o the_o spaniel_n will_v be_v run_v up_o and_o down_o this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n and_o if_o all_o the_o space_n of_o ground_n which_o the_o spaniel_n have_v go_v over_o shall_v i_o measure_v it_o may_v be_v while_o you_o be_v walk_v half_o a_o mile_n the_o spaniel_n fetch_v compass_n here_o and_o there_o will_v be_v half_a a_o dozen_o mile_n so_o our_o fances_z be_v like_o a_o spaniel_n which_o will_v have_v fetch_n about_o this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n in_o a_o thousand_o vain_a thought_n but_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v with_o a_o godly_a man_n as_o a_o spaniel_n though_o run_v from_o his_o master_n yet_o if_o he_o give_v he_o a_o call_v he_o be_v able_a to_o call_v he_o to_o he_o present_o and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o we_o though_o our_o fances_z be_v wild_a yet_o if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o call_v in_o our_o fances_z and_o to_o have_v they_o at_o command_n it_o be_v well_o with_o we_o and_o i_o find_v very_o much_o that_o those_o that_o be_v new_a comer_n they_o complane_v much_o of_o the_o vanity_n of_o their_o thought_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o pray_v before_o and_o they_o never_o have_v such_o vane_n thought_n as_o now_o they_o have_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o much_o vanity_n of_o thought_n or_o at_o least_o so_o much_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o be_v first_o because_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o corruption_n in_o young_a convert_n like_o a_o spark_n of_o fire_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ash_n now_o if_o there_o lie_v a_o heap_n of_o ash_n and_o nothing_o else_o you_o do_v not_o stir_v they_o but_o if_o there_o be_v ash_n and_o some_o fire_n than_o you_o will_v stir_v they_o and_o be_v blow_v those_o

before_o god_n wrought_v upon_o thy_o heart_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o ash_n upon_o thy_o soul_n and_o then_o they_o lie_v still_o but_o now_o god_n have_v kindle_v some_o spark_n of_o

stir_v to_o kindle_v those_o spark_n further_o in_o thy_o heart_n it_o be_v that_o the_o ash_n of_o thy_o corruption_n do_v as_o it_o be_v fly_v about_o thy_o ear_n and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o stir_n of_o corruption_n more_o than_o there_o be_v before_o it_o be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v more_o corruption_n than_o there_o be_v former_o but_o before_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o corruption_n it_o lay_v still_o and_o now_o because_o there_o be_v something_o else_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o corruption_n do_v so_o stir_v and_o beside_o you_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o keep_v lewd_a company_n if_o god_n turn_v he_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v that_o company_n no_o more_o at_o first_o he_o shall_v be_v more_o trouble_v with_o they_o than_o he_o be_v

all_o time_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o time_n for_o preparation_n to_o every_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n second_o suppose_v we_o do_v not_o find_v our_o heart_n prepare_v as_o we_o do_v desire_v whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o leave_v off_o the_o duty_n than_o perform_v it_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o viz._n whether_o we_o be_v always_o bind_v to_o set_v some_o time_n apart_o for_o

way_n of_o godliness_n and_o do_v keep_v their_o heart_n close_o with_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n now_o for_o they_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o through_o their_o exercise_n in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n and_o keep_v of_o their_o heart_n constant_a with_o god_n in_o communion_n with_o he_o walk_v with_o god_n close_o that_o they_o be_v at_o all_o time_n prepare_v to_o

any_o time_n there_o be_v no_o day_n in_o the_o week_n nor_o no_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n but_o they_o if_o god_n call_v they_o to_o it_o can_v fall_v down_o to_o solemn_a prayer_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a condition_n and_o a_o good_a evidence_n of_o the_o heart_n walk_v close_o with_o god_n that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n but_o they_o be_v fit_a to_o pray_v and_o fit_a for_o

for_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o for_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n every_o day_n or_o any_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n but_o this_o need_v a_o very_a close_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o

they_o that_o if_o god_n call_v they_o to_o prayer_n at_o such_o a_o time_n in_o the_o day_n they_o be_v altogether_o unfit_a for_o it_o if_o they_o be_v call_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n their_o conscience_n will_v accuse_v they_o and_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v unfit_a for_o it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n though_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n you_o will_v say_v if_o a_o man_n have_v business_n in_o the_o world_n how_o can_v this_o be_v yes_o though_o they_o have_v business_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o carry_v the_o

to_o their_o heart_n they_o shall_v spend_v some_o time_n in_o preparation_n when_o they_o come_v to_o holy_a duty_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v when_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v at_o first_o enlighten_v and_o awaken_v they_o will_v be_v very_o careful_a in_o prepare_v to_o holy_a duty_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n it_o be_v mighty_a upon_o their_o spirit_n at_o first_o and_o it_o

break_v their_o peace_n between_o god_n and_o their_o soul_n they_o have_v need_n spend_v some_o time_n in_o preparation_n for_o holy_a duty_n they_o can_v come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n but_o they_o have_v need_v beforehand_o be_v very_o serious_a in_o the_o examination_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o endeavour_v the_o work_n of_o their_o

such_o as_o have_v not_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n or_o such_o as_o have_v break_v their_o peace_n with_o god_n by_o some_o evil_a carriage_n of_o they_o towards_o god_n in_o some_o vile_a way_n i_o say_v it_o be_v requy_v of_o they_o to_o be_v more_o solemn_a in_o the_o work_n of_o preparation_n 2._o but_o now_o for_o the_o second_o case_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o main_a suppose_v when_o we_o come_v to_o duty_n and_o begin_v to_o examine_v our_o heart_n and_o begin_v to_o bethink_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o be_v prepare_v yea_o or_o no_o to_o holy_a duty_n and_o we_o do_v not_o find_v our_o heart_n prepare_v according_a to_o that_o that_o we_o do_v desire_n whether_o then_o we_o may_v let_v the_o duty_n go_v for_o that_o time_n and_o forbear_v the_o performance_n of_o it_o as_o suppose_v prayer_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o come_v to_o the_o word_n or_o any_o other_o holy_a duty_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o doubt_n be_v because_o when_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v conscientious_a they_o think_v with_o themselves_o that_o they_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n now_o if_o they_o can_v find_v their_o heart_n in_o a_o fit_a disposition_n to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v thus_o be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n and_o lay_v it_o aside_o for_o the_o present_a will_v god_n accept_v of_o a_o duty_n when_o i_o perform_v it_o and_o be_o not_o set_v for_o it_o therefore_o for_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o temptation_n that_o sometime_o carnal_a heart_n have_v and_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v this_o temptation_n and_o willing_a to_o neglect_v the_o duty_n upon_o such_o a_o thought_n as_o this_o that_o they_o be_v not_o prepare_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v more_o glad_a to_o let_v the_o duty_n fall_v than_o they_o be_v sorry_a for_o want_v of_o the_o preparation_n of_o their_o heart_n for_o the_o duty_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o this_o whether_o you_o have_v not_o find_v it_o so_o that_o sometime_o when_o you_o have_v not_o be_v fit_a to_o perform_v a_o holy_a

duty_n this_o be_v a_o very_a evil_a sign_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v very_o much_o distemper_v those_o that_o be_v godly_a indeed_o when_o they_o find_v not_o their_o heart_n prepare_v for_o the_o duty_n it_o be_v the_o trouble_n of_o their_o soul_n it_o be_v that_o which_o go_v near_o their_o heart_n when_o they_o think_v with_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v now_o like_a to_o lose_v a_o duty_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n they_o be_v now_o like_a to_o lose_v their_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o a_o holy_a duty_n they_o even_o look_v upon_o themselves_o in_o a_o evil_a case_n in_o

god_n they_o by_o their_o very_a struggle_v to_o prepare_v themselves_o many_o time_n do_v ensnare_v themselves_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v thought_n of_o atheism_n or_o other_o wickedness_n the_o very_a struggle_v with_o those_o thought_n may_v ensnare_v thy_o heart_n now_o the_o better_a way_n be_v to_o fall_v upon_o prayer_n and_o to_o cry_v to_o god_n to_o help_v thou_o against_o they_o for_o while_o thou_o be_v struggle_v and_o strive_v with_o those_o thought_n thou_o be_v strive_v with_o the_o corruption_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o the_o devil_n all_o alone_a but_o now_o when_o thou_o fall_v to_o the_o duty_n thou_o call_v in_o the_o help_n of_o god_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_o while_o thou_o be_v muse_v plod_a and_o

therefore_o because_o they_o do_v so_o admire_v at_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n they_o will_v not_o offer_v a_o snail_n to_o the_o sun_n but_o a_o fâ—ying_a horse_n a_o

than_o we_o must_v tender_v up_o such_o a_o present_a as_o be_v suitable_a to_o god_n excellency_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n to_o give_v a_o present_a if_o it_o be_v not_o worthy_a twelve_o penny_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v take_v well_o but_o if_o you_o be_v to_o tender_v up_o a_o present_a to_o a_o prince_n a_o monarch_n a_o emperor_n than_o you_o must_v tender_v a_o present_a that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o preson_z therefore_o in_o malachi_n 1._o 8._o when_o the_o lord_n rebuke_n they_o for_o their_o sacrifice_n that_o they_o be_v such_o poor_a thing_n go_v say_v god_n and_o tender_v up_o this_o to_o your_o governor_n and_o see_v whether_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o it_o or_o no._n so_o certain_o that_o which_o may_v be_v accept_v of_o by_o a_o mean_a man_n will_v be_v account_v a_o scorn_n if_o you_o shall_v tender_v it_o up_o to_o a_o prince_n or_o a_o emperor_n now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o we_o be_v to_o tender_v up_o our_o service_n to_o god_n who_o be_v the_o great_a king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o creature_n which_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o its_o worship_n to_o god_n to_o tender_v up_o that_o which_o be_v fit_a for_o a_o god_n to_o have_v this_o may_v rather_o be_v a_o discouragement_n unto_o prayer_n or_o any_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n than_o a_o encouragement_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v thus_o though_o we_o be_v very_o poor_a and_o mean_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o we_o may_v tender_v up_o that_o to_o god_n which_o god_n will_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o infinite_a excellency_n as_o first_o if_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n all_o that_o we_o have_v though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a and_o mean_a yet_o if_o god_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o our_o soul_n god_n accept_v it_o for_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o what_o we_o have_v or_o of_o what_o we_o do_v but_o that_o we_o may_v show_v our_o respect_n to_o he_o therefore_o if_o we_o give_v all_o that_o we_o have_v god_n accept_v it_o as_o a_o child_n if_o it_o put_v forth_o all_o its_o strength_n that_o it_o have_v to_o do_v a_o business_n which_o the_o father_n bid_v he_o whether_o the_o business_n be_v dove_n or_o no_o the_o father_n look_v upon_o it_o and_o accept_v it_o as_o suitable_a to_o the_o child_n strength_n and_o it_o show_v the_o respect_n that_o the_o child_n have_v to_o his_o father_n and_o as_o it_o be_v story_v of_o a_o emperor_n that_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n have_v nothing_o to_o offer_v he_o but_o a_o little_a water_n that_o he_o have_v take_v up_o with_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v nothing_o else_o the_o emperor_n accept_v of_o it_o so_o that_o be_v that_o which_o god_n look_v for_o that_o the_o creature_n shall_v lift_v he_o above_o all_o if_o therefore_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n god_n have_v more_o in_o thy_o heart_n than_o

shall_v all_o in_o our_o drawing_n near_o to_o he_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n sanctify_v his_o name_n now_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o divers_a reason_n why_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n 1._o the_o first_o reason_n be_v this_o it_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n to_o will_n himself_o the_o last_o end_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n to_o work_v suitable_a to_o the_o lift_v up_o of_o himself_o as_o the_o last_o end_n i_o say_v it_o be_v as_o essential_a to_o he_o as_o any_o thing_n for_o he_o to_o will_n himself_o as_o the_o high_a end_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v so_o as_o to_o be_v suitable_a unto_o that_o glory_n of_o his_o for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o it_o god_n shall_v cease_v to_o be_v god_n if_o so_o be_v he_o shall_v not_o will_v himself_o as_o the_o high_a end_n and_o so_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v any_o being_n shall_v some_o way_n or_o other_o work_n for_o himself_o this_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n it_o be_v that_o which_o i_o conceive_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n holiness_n consist_v in_o the_o willing_a himself_o as_o the_o last_o end_n and_o so_o to_o work_v all_o thing_n as_o suitable_a unto_o his_o own_o infinite_a excellency_n now_o as_o this_o be_v god_n holiness_n so_o it_o be_v the_o holiness_n that_o god_n require_v in_o his_o creature_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o holiness_n that_o they_o shall_v will_v he_o as_o the_o last_o end_n and_o all_o thing_n suitable_a to_o that_o infinite_a excellency_n of_o his._n now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v his_o holiness_n then_o certain_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n in_o all_o those_o that_o will_v have_v communion_n with_o god_n and_o will_v honour_v god_n to_o will_v as_o god_n himself_o do_v will_n that_o be_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n of_o god_n that_o god_n may_v attain_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o infinite_a excellency_n and_o this_o make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v his_o name_n so_o that_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o very_o be_v of_o god_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v to_o himself_o and_o in_o such_o a_o suitable_a way_n as_o to_o lift_v up_o his_o excellency_n and_o glory_n 2._o second_o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n because_o it_o be_v the_o special_a glory_n that_o god_n have_v in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v active_o honour_v for_o his_o passive_a glory_n that_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v in_o a_o passive_a way_n that_o he_o have_v in_o hell_n but_o the_o special_a glory_n that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v active_o now_o there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n of_o glorify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n active_o as_o by_o worship_v of_o he_o in_o a_o holy_a manner_n and_o therefore_o god_n stand_v much_o upon_o this_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o we_o sanctify_v his_o name_n for_o say_v god_n if_o i_o be_v not_o sanctify_v in_o my_o worship_n what_o active_a glory_n have_v i_o in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v the_o special_a active_a glory_n that_o god_n have_v in_o the_o world_n the_o sanctify_a of_o his_o name_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n 3._o three_o that_o which_o we_o have_v intimate_v before_o that_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v the_o most_o precious_a thing_n the_o special_a conveyance_n of_o the_o choice_a mercy_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o bestow_v on_o his_o saint_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o lose_v his_o glory_n in_o any_o thing_n else_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v it_o in_o that_o wherein_o he_o do_v especial_o convey_v his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n to_o his_o
people_n but_o that_o we_o speak_v too_o in_o show_v how_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o it_o may_v well_o come_v in_o here_o again_o as_o a_o argument_n why_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n 4._o a_o four_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o be_v fit_v for_o the_o receive_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n through_o those_o duty_n of_o worship_n but_o by_o our_o sanctify_v of_o god_n name_n when_o thou_o come_v at_o any_o time_n to_o worship_n god_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v there_o it_o some_o communion_n that_o thou_o will_v enjoy_v with_o god_n now_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v thou_o a_o fit_a subject_n of_o mercy_n or_o capable_a of_o the_o enjoy_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n but_o by_o such_o a_o behaviour_n of_o soul_n as_o this_o be_v that_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o lose_v those_o duty_n of_o worship_n that_o thou_o do_v perform_v therefore_o it_o be_v require_v of_o thou_o to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n lest_o thou_o do_v lose_v all_o for_o it_o be_v this_o that_o make_v thou_o the_o only_a capable_a subject_n of_o what_o good_a be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o 5._o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n because_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v certain_o never_o hold_v out_o in_o duty_n but_o vanish_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o now_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v so_o by_o his_o creature_n as_o to_o be_v constant_o worship_v he_o will_v have_v those_o that_o do_v worship_n he_o to_o worship_v he_o always_o to_o

every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n separate_v from_o all_o thing_n valerius_n maximus_n tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o young_a nobleman_n

every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n not_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o tender_v up_o thy_o service_n in_o his_o name_n but_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n to_o give_v thou_o strength_n to_o do_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v and_o what_o strength_n thou_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n be_v sure_a to_o stir_v it_o up_o many_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v more_o

do_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n as_o thou_o do_v tender_a up_o to_o he_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n from_o man_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o themselves_o as_o a_o man_n if_o he_o do_v entertain_v any_o as_o his_o familiar_a friend_n that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a it_o be_v his_o disgrace_n and_o

be_v able_a to_o do_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v worship_n i_o wait_v upon_o god_n when_o i_o be_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o i_o know_v what_o i_o do_v to_o have_v some_o spiritual_a good_a convey_v to_o i_o beyond_o what_o there_o be_v in_o the_o mean_n itself_o this_o make_v it_o worship_n when_o i_o be_o busy_v in_o natural_a and_o civil_a action_n there_o i_o must_v profess_v that_o these_o

of_o those_o creature_n but_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n i_o here_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a that_o this_o ordinance_n have_v not_o in_o itself_o take_v it_o material_o but_o mere_o as_o it_o have_v a_o institution_n in_o it_o and_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n for_o the_o

the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o remember_v these_o two_o thing_n every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o hear_v i_o come_v now_o to_o give_v a_o testimony_n that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o understand_v god_n and_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n of_o myself_o but_o i_o do_v depend_v upon_o god_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

this_o be_v divine_a service_n as_o much_o as_o any_o service_n can_v be_v perform_v heretofore_o our_o prelate_n and_o those_o kind_n of_o man_n make_v all_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v in_o

give_v a_o account_n of_o any_o one_o sermon_n they_o have_v hear_v in_o all_o their_o life_n hardly_o i_o say_v but_o the_o word_n which_o they_o hear_v be_v present_o take_v away_o from_o they_o

behave_v itself_o in_o a_o beseem_a manner_n suitable_a to_o that_o authority_n and_o excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o now_o for_o example_n 1._o first_o among_o man_n he_o be_v account_v a_o honest_a man_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o man_n in_o all_o action_n such_o a_o man_n you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n as_o honest_a a_o man_n

seemly_a way_n in_o all_o those_o relation_n that_o he_o have_v unto_o other_o that_o we_o account_v honesty_n so_o when_o a_o man_n behaviour_n towards_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o do_v beseem_v the_o word_n of_o that_o god_n with_o who_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v that_o look_v what_o excellency_n what_o glory_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n such_o a_o suitable_a behaviour_n there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n to_o it_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a heart_n so_o that_o there_o be_v those_o two_o thing_n when_o a_o man_n be_v square_a with_o god_n in_o one_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o sutableness_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o what_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n

therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a and_o only_o now_o reckon_v up_o together_o and_o set_v before_o your_o view_n the_o several_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n first_o for_o prayer_n in_o that_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n that_o i_o suppose_v all_o of_o you_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a duty_n of_o worship_n the_o other_o be_v institute_v but_o this_o be_v natural_a it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o creature_n to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o prayer_n wherein_o the_o creature_n tender_v up_o his_o homage_n to_o god_n and_o manifest_v his_o profession_n of_o his_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o all_o good_a that_o he_o have_v and_o

sometime_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v put_v for_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n he_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o be_v he_o that_o worship_v god_n

that_o be_v that_o do_v not_o worship_v thou_o there_o one_o part_n of_o worship_n be_v put_v for_o the_o whole_a as_o be_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n sure_o we_o must_v

and_o if_o the_o argument_n of_o christ_n be_v right_a as_o no_o question_n but_o it_o be_v that_o the_o temple_n be_v great_a than_o the_o gold_n upon_o the_o temple_n because_o the_o temple_n do_v

unto_o our_o use_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o read_v the_o word_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o a_o sanctify_a use_n of_o the_o word_n prayer_n be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n a_o great_a duty_n of_o

of_o god_n the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o power_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v prayer_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o cast_a voice_n and_o do_v order_n under_o god_n the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n they_o bring_v down_o blessing_n upon_o the_o godly_a they_o power_n forth_o judgement_n upon_o the_o wicked_a the_o

upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o god_n name_n be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v in_o prayer_n it_o be_v to_o be_v sanctify_v first_o in_o preparation_n psalm_n 10._o 17._o thou_o will_v

thou_o do_v it_o will_v help_v thou_o much_o against_o the_o vanity_n of_o thy_o thought_n second_o every_o time_n thou_o go_v to_o prayer_n thou_o that_o be_v most_o trouble_v with_o such_o vain_a

resolve_v upon_o a_o thing_n a_o great_a while_n ago_o it_o have_v little_a power_n over_o he_o but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n have_v resolve_v upon_o a_o thing_n but_o this_o morning_n and_o just_a at_o the_o time_n when_o he_o be_v go_v about_o it_o now_o he_o do_v resolve_v upon_o it_o and_o set_v himself_o upon_o it_o and_o do_v resolve_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o whatsoever_o

until_o thou_o get_v power_n over_o thy_o thought_n do_v but_o make_v trial_n of_o this_o thou_o have_v lose_v many_o a_o prayer_n by_o vain_a thought_n and_o thou_o have_v be_v trouble_v for_o they_o and_o yet_o they_o come_v again_o do_v but_o try_v for_o this_o week_n as_o i_o remember_v i_o say_v in_o the_o point_n of_o passion_n and_o anger_n that_o we_o shall_v resolve_v with_o ourselves_o

to_o look_v up_o to_o god_n grace_n to_o assist_v i_o i_o will_v be_v sure_a this_o prayer_n to_o keep_v my_o heart_n close_o to_o what_o i_o be_o about_o and_o perhaps_o that_o will_v help_v you_o a_o little_a but_o yet_o some_o vain_a thought_n will_v come_v for_o all_o that_o then_o the_o next_o night_n renew_v they_o again_o and_o the_o next_o morning_n renew_v they_o again_o and_o that_o till_o thou_o come_v to_o a_o habit_n of_o keep_v thy_o heart_n close_o to_o the_o duty_n though_o now_o thou_o feel_v thy_o heart_n so_o wild_a that_o thou_o think_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o

thou_o can_v be_v a_o real_a sight_n of_o god_n in_o his_o glory_n it_o will_v keep_v thy_o heart_n close_o to_o the_o duty_n as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v wander_v with_o his_o eye_n and_o look_v after_o

yet_o what_o a_o merciful_a god_n he_o be_v to_o we_o in_o his_o son_n this_o will_v mighty_o compose_v our_o heart_n certain_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v so_o wander_v in_o their_o prayer_n it_o be_v because_o their_o eye_n be_v not_o open_a to_o look_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o glory_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v dream_v and_o do_v not_o apprehend_v that_o god_n stand_v and_o look_v upon_o they_o and_o observe_v they_o and_o that_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o every_o wander_a thought_n that_o come_v from_o they_o
they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o god_n do_v converse_v with_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o man_n do_v with_o the_o word_n of_o man_n that_o be_v the_o three_o rule_n four_o take_v

hinder_v many_o in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o prayer_n there_o be_v sometime_o dart_v in_o some_o vain_a thought_n now_o because_o the_o thought_n have_v no_o great_a evil_n in_o itself_o therefore_o they_o think_v they_o may_v play_v with_o it_o and_o their_o heart_n close_o with_o it_o and_o so_o run_v along_o with_o it_o as_o the_o fish_n do_v with_o the_o bait_n if_o the_o devil_n cast_v in_o a_o thought_n of_o blasphemy_n that_o make_v thou_o quake_v and_o shake_v but_o if_o thy_o thought_n have_v no_o great_a evil_n in_o they_o but_o they_o be_v slight_a thing_n matter_n of_o no_o moment_n one_o way_n or_o other_o upon_o that_o thy_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v dandle_v and_o play_v with_o they_o therefore_o remember_v this_o rule_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n whatsoever_o thought_n be_v in_o thy_o mind_n that_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o present_a duty_n they_o be_v sinful_a before_o god_n though_o the_o thought_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o thou_o be_v to_o abandon_v they_o as_o sinful_a at_o that_o time_n therefore_o never_o be_v deceive_v with_o this_o that_o the_o thought_n be_v not_o very_o

close_o to_o a_o duty_n and_o thou_o have_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o bless_v god_n for_o that_o bless_v god_n for_o that_o help_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o very_o great_a use_n for_o we_o to_o

reason_n why_o we_o gain_v and_o prosper_v so_o little_a in_o our_o christian_a course_n it_o be_v because_o we_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o to_o give_v god_n glory_n for_o mercy_n former_o receive_v and_o therefore_o god_n take_v little_a or_o no_o delight_n in_o come_v in_o with_o further_a mercy_n to_o we_o as_o if_o you_o have_v a_o young_a nursery_n
