little_a before_o shall_v a_o heathen_a or_o man_n stranger_n to_o god_n outdo_v such_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n potiphar_n see_v and_o be_v convince_v nay_o and_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o joseph_n and_o prosper_v 3._o all_o thing_n his_o hand_n 7._o it_o rob_v god_n of_o that_o sacred_a homage_n and_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o from_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o so_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o religion_n for_o by_o acknowleding_n god_n in_o all_o we_o do_v we_o show_v we_o own_o that_o divine_a worship_n fear_v and_o trust_v that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o but_o they_o who_o do_v it_o not_o seem_v to_o disclaim_v or_o disow_v god_n chief_a glory_n viz._n that_o divine_a adoration_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o alone_o and_o which_o appear_v not_o only_o to_o be_v his_o right_n from_o revelation_n but_o from_o natural_a light_n for_o it_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o natural_a religion_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o to_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o all_o thing_n we_o want_v and_o to_o praise_v he_o for_o all_o thing_n we_o have_v or_o do_v receive_v he_o that_o be_v the_o only_a object_n of_o our_o divine_a worship_n be_v he_o that_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o from_o who_o all_o good_a come_v and_o deliver_v we_o from_o whatsoever_o be_v evil_a or_o hurtful_a to_o we_o but_o they_o that_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v god_n will_v neither_o pray_v to_o he_o for_o what_o they_o need_v nor_o praise_v he_o for_o what_o they_o receive_v therefore_o it_o destroy_v all_o true_a trust_n in_o god_n fear_v of_o god_n and_o love_n to_o god_n not_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o and_o it_o show_v such_o do_v in_o effect_n deny_v god_n govern_v the_o world_n who_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o or_o pray_v not_o to_o he_o the_o lord_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o do_v understand_v or_o seek_v god_n 2._o he_o take_v notice_n who_o they_o be_v that_o acknowledge_v his_o authority_n over_o they_o or_o who_o understand_v this_o and_o so_o fear_v he_o and_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o alas_o the_o wicked_a say_v be_v not_o our_o tongue_n our_o own_o and_o who_o be_v lord_n over_o we_o they_o think_v their_o wisdom_n be_v from_o themselves_o to_o contrive_v to_o project_n and_o their_o tongue_n their_o own_o to_o speak_v and_o utter_v what_o their_o heart_n conceive_v and_o their_o hand_n their_o own_o to_o effect_v what_o their_o heart_n contrive_v and_o their_o tongue_n express_v quest._n who_o be_v they_o that_o do_v not_o true_o acknowledge_v god_n answ._n 1._o such_o that_o never_o or_o but_o seldom_o think_v of_o god_n david_n speak_v of_o the_o wicked_a say_v god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n or_o in_o none_o of_o their_o thought_n they_o think_v not_o of_o god_n 2._o such_o who_o never_o consult_v with_o god_n in_o his_o word_n about_o what_o they_o undertake_v that_o do_v not_o inquire_v whether_o what_o they_o be_v about_o to_o do_v be_v just_a and_o agreeable_a with_o the_o word_n and_o will_n of_o god_n nor_o seek_v for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o what_o they_o be_v about_o to_o do_v 3._o such_o who_o pray_v not_o to_o god_n or_o least_o wise_a do_v not_o pray_v in_o faith_n or_o believe_o 4._o such_o that_o depend_v upon_o their_o own_o wisdom_n or_o trust_v in_o their_o own_o strength_n or_o rely_v upon_o a_o arm_n of_o flesh_n some_o trust_n in_o 6._o horse_n and_o some_o in_o chariot_n but_o what_o say_v david_n i_o will_v not_o trust_v in_o my_o own_o bow_n neither_o shall_v my_o sword_n save_v i_o ashur_n shall_v not_o save_v we_o we_o will_v not_o ride_v upon_o horse_n 3._o 5._o such_o who_o in_o all_o they_o do_v do_v not_o chief_o seek_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o interest_n of_o god_n and_o the_o welfair_n of_o his_o people_n but_o in_o their_o prayer_n rather_o eye_v their_o own_o interest_n their_o own_o peace_n safety_n and_o profit_n or_o their_o own_o glory_n these_o do_v not_o true_o acknowledge_v god_n 6._o such_o who_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n they_o receive_v to_o come_v from_o god_n but_o ascribe_v it_o to_o their_o care_n wisdom_n and_o industry_n or_o secondary_a cause_n as_o i_o hear_v of_o a_o wicked_a man_n who_o have_v a_o plentiful_a crop_n of_o corn_n and_o a_o neighbour_n observe_v it_o bid_v he_o praise_n god_n for_o it_o praise_v god_n say_v he_o praise_v my_o dung-cart_n or_o to_o that_o purpose_n such_o man_n be_v sure_o acknowledge_v not_o god_n 7._o remember_v that_o such_o who_o do_v not_o live_v by_o faith_n on_o god_n promise_n and_o providence_n through_o jesus_n christ_n or_o do_v not_o come_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a blessing_n or_o that_o trust_v not_o in_o he_o at_o all_o time_n and_o for_o all_o thing_n but_o either_o murder_n against_o god_n or_o despair_v of_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o whosoever_o do_v not_o give_v god_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o wisdom_n mercy_n justice_n power_n love_n and_o faithfulness_n as_o they_o shine_v forth_o in_o christ_n do_v not_o true_o acknowledge_v god_n exhortation_n let_v i_o exhort_v you_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o to_o acknowledge_v god_n whosoever_o you_o be_v whether_o high_a or_o low_a rich_a or_o poor_a young_a or_o old_a the_o king_n on_o the_o throne_n must_v acknowledge_v god_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o grind_v at_o the_o mill_n it_o be_v both_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o of_o the_o peasant_n there_o be_v none_o so_o high_a but_o he_o can_v bring_v down_o nor_o none_o so_o low_a but_o he_o can_v raise_v up_o 2._o pray_v to_o he_o in_o faith_n for_o prayer_n be_v one_o way_n to_o acknowledge_v he_o and_o as_o for_o motive_n 1._o consider_v that_o prayer_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n though_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v sinner_n yet_o peter_n put_v simon_n magus_n upon_o prayer_n pray_v that_o the_o thought_n of_o thy_o heart_n may_v be_v forgive_v thou_o 2._o this_o show_n the_o need_n of_o grace_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o change_v heart_n if_o wicked_a man_n pray_v not_o they_o sin_n yet_o their_o prayer_n can_v please_v god_n 2._o you_o know_v that_o god_n will_v hear_v a_o godly_a man_n prayer_n if_o he_o pray_v in_o faith_n and_o for_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n 2_o but_o let_v he_o come_v in_o christ_n name_n ask_v and_o you_o shall_v receive_v that_o your_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a 3._o prayer_n have_v obtain_v great_a blessing_n of_o god_n nay_o it_o have_v do_v wonderful_a thing_n i_o mean_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o faithful_a person_n it_o have_v open_v and_o shut_v heaven_n elias_n be_v a_o man_n subject_n to_o like_a

he_o pray_v again_o and_o the_o heaven_n give_v rain_v and_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o prayer_n have_v quench_v the_o violence_n 34._o of_o fire_n and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o lion_n faith_n and_o prayer_n divide_v the_o red_a sea_n that_o israel_n go_v through_o it_o on_o dry_a ground_n it_o have_v put_v to_o flight_v the_o army_n of_o alien_n 4._o prayer_n be_v god_n ordinance_n it_o

prayer_n honour_n god_n many_o way_n 1._o hereby_o we_o acknowledge_v his_o omnisciency_n that_o he_o know_v we_o and_o our_o want_n and_o necessity_n 2._o prayer_n honour_n god_n in_o that_o by_o prayer_n we_o acknowledge_v his_o omnipotence_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o help_v we_o let_v our_o condition_n be_v what_o it_o will_v and_o in_o that_o he_o can_v confound_v our_o enemy_n 3._o in_o respect_n of_o our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o in_o prayer_n we_o acknowledge_v we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v but_o our_o eye_n be_v up_o to_o he_o and_o our_o trust_n be_v in_o he_o 4._o in_o prayer_n we_o acknowledge_v his_o authority_n over_o we_o and_o his_o love_n and_o faithfulness_n towards_o we_o but_o brethren_n know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o new_a
